"Gujerat, hitherto rich and pros.
porous province that has not known
a famine for 100 years has had no
rain since last June and the stencil
Of dead cattle is fearful. People have
stripped the leaves from the trees to
feed them, their loss being doubly
felt as they are used to put in the
crop"

ing to close and we were anxiously
watching for the coming Of the mon

that should bring relief, but the
clouds only came to be driven away
by the wind with no rain and the
famine cloud which at first was no
bigger than a mans hand has spread
and covered large part Of this beau
tiful land and at this season Of the
year is worse than ever before"

the little ones and take her toe.

Of joy running down her cheeks for

will make no mistake but that justice

cerned.
"Later-The propositions presented
by representatives of MarshalItown

no action in the matter
While the question is unsettled it is
interesting to note the auarreling be-
ween the TWO leading Tama papers. The
Herald says
The Free Press insists that its posi-
tion on the glucose question has been
firm as Il rock We concede it. The
trouble is that that position has been
favorable to the glucose Institution and
antagonistic To the vital interest of the
home community. When the confer

was held the editor of the Free Press
could only rise and ask that no feel

no other voters of the same name voted
