| atltipiia. What have we to show
| there? These questions are often
asked, and few words OF explana-
ton will doubtless be acceptable.
| In the earlier days Of the organi-
zation Of the Iowa State Of Board
Centennial managers, a plan by
which to exhibit to the assemblies
world at Philadelphia next summer
our growth and progress In less than
half century our agricultural and
mineral resources; our mechanic arts
and sciences, WAS devised and has
met with the highest approval ny the
Philadelphia Board of Centennial
Commissioners.
The products Of Iowa are divided
| into 81 classes, and over each Of these
classics a competent person was APP
| pointed TO make selections ofsnrnples
| in each Of these classes--sampie Of
Everything grown, manufactured or
dug from the bowels Of the earth,
and to prepare them for shipment to
Philadelphia. To accomplish this,
funds were needed, and in the abb
sence Of All appropriation from our
State Legislature, this difficulty must
be met in the best possible manner.
An assessment WAS therefore made
upon the whole State of AS Of a cent
for each inhabitant, amounting in
The aggregate to $ll $40. taking the
census Of 1870 n. basis for this cali
culation. Circular. were issued, ap-
peals We're made to the press and in
dividuni for help with but, faint rs-
Spouse; when the assistance Of the
women of the State WAS asked, and
20 them belongs justly the credit of
whatever representation Iowa may
make at the Centennial.
Tea Parties have been inaugurated /.
! Concerts, exhibitions aud in some
cases personal solicitations have col
Iected the quota OF the whole fund
assigned to each county. Marion
county as one Of the better counties
of the State In population, has an
apportionment Of s2fi to devote TO the
great and patriotic cause. And our
ladies with the spirit Of rs, stirriag
them To noble deeds, have resolved
unanimously to come to the rescue
in a Tea Party for next Tuesday
evening.
