costly error into which the farmers Of
the state have fallen in the matter of
incorporating creameries. The attor-
ney-general has been called upon to
pass upon the articles of number of
creamery companies and has almost in
variably been compelled to hold that
the companies formed by the articles
submitted to him are stock companies
and not mutual concerns, and are there
fore subject to the payment of s25
fee for incorporation with the secretary
of state.
The law specifically exempts from
payment of this fee mutual creameries.
The articles filed with the secretary of
state are ordinarily. il is found, de-
fective, and are of such nature as to
make the companies stock concerns
and therefore liable to payment of the
fee. II has been recommended to the
dairy commissioner that he employ an
attorney to draw mp articles which
shall be within the law, and Thus save
the creameries desiring toincorporate
the $25 fee required of stock concerns.

Dealers In Iowa Promised Protection

yiolate the LAW.

It has developed from statements
made by G. L. Fisk, general agent for
the American Tobacco company, that
the Iowa cigarette law is to beviolated
not only in Des Moines, but throughout
the entire state. Orders for cigarettes
have been taken from over 1000 deal
ers in all parts of the state. and to
get these orders the company has given
each dealer contract agreeing to de-
fepd him in case of arrest for selling
the cigarettes without paying the 5000
license. When the company tested the
law before and made the interstate
commerce original package plea the
supreme court decided that when a
dealer opened box containing the
small packages of cigarettes the form
Of the original package was lost. With
this as basis, the company has de-
cided that each small box can be sent
direct to the dealers as an original
package, and protection under the in
terstate law will be afforded.

THE PRISON PRESS.
This II the Title OF New Paper Ts-

Anamo sa Penitentiary.

The Anamosa Prison Press is the
name of paper which has just made
it's initial bow to the public. Published
by the convicts Mt the state peniten-
tiary, it is remarkably interesting
little journal, and the reader wonders
how men confined behind stone walls
can gather SO much that is readable,
not only to the prisoners and the pris-
on officials, but the public as we'll. In
the first number appears the an
nouncement of the death of the oldest
state convict, Carl Harsh, who was in
his eightieth year. In speaking of his
is years confinement the Prison Press
says in conclusions:
Many of US become discouraged and think
our luck Is i'll. but W hen we stop to think, we
can, each and all of US, see that there are
others worse off. This poor old man was
once somebody's loving boy, but man will
fall into temptation. May his spirit be
peaceful in eternity is our prayer.
