The ever fruitful topic OF weather" is
being freely discussed. Yesterday was
gloomy, misty, drizzly, sprinkling day.
Overcoats and wraps were brought from
the packers and cedar chests. and fires
were comfortable. This is unusual
weather for May. A remarkable feature
OF the weather for this month is the way
in which it was predicted two years ago
by Andrew J. De Voc, of Hackensack.
He accurately foretold the great storms
OF the month with the violent changes of
temperature. For May 22nd 10 74th he
prognosticated a cold wave and for Nav
2sth to 18th storm over the Ohio Val
ley, with heavy rains throughout the
middle section OF the country and a cold
wave in the West. For May 10th to
3Ist he predicts cold weather for all the
States. The forecast for tomorrow is tor
rain, with rising temperature, and fresh
to brisk northeast winds.

Charlottesville, Darlington and the ad.
jacent territory.
This exchange is typical of many in
Indiana, Ohio and Illinois So recent.
~ as 1885 there were no independent
lines, and, indeed, no long-distance
lines except those connecting the prin.
cipal cities and operated by the Bell
company, in these three states. In
the autumn of 1900, when the last sta
tistics on the subject were published,
the newly built lines of the independ-
ent and cooperative companies in
that territory connected 100000 sub.
scribers with 7SS exchanges, and main,
tanned no less than 81, 500 miles of
cross-country pole lines for the pur.
pose.
The introduction of the telephone
into the rural community has had the
effect of putting the farmer in com
munication with his city markets. This
enables him both to sell and to buy
at the proper time, and prevents eth.
er a failure of supplies in the city mar.
ket, or shipments at time when these
markets are already full and prices
are low. In this way the lines have
proved an actual source OF profit to
the agriculturist But it is in anoth,
er direction that their influence has
been most marked and most benefi
cent. The telephone does vast deal
to overcome that isolation of the far
mers life which has proved the most
serious objection to the pursuit on the
part of SO many young people. Its
service in this respect is especially
marked in the winter season, when
bad weather or snow-bound roads of
ten keep the occupant of a farm out
side a village practically a prisoner in
his homestead. The telephone per
mits him to talk with his neighbors
and thus, in a very real and vital way
relieves the loneliness which is otter
so painful feature in the life of a
family thus situated. 1t becomes easy
to summon the doctor in case of ill
ness. to call for help in case of fire
or sudden emergency of any sort, tc
keep in touch with relatives and
friends throughout the region covered
by the system. Sociability is thus
promoted, the wire becomes con
meeting link with the world outside
and the interest of life is greatly wild
ened The effect promises to become
widespread in adding to the attract
iveness of residence in the country.

the Year Book. The dairy report
shows that the number of COWS in
Iowa is steadily increasing and their
value is being enhanced, even though
the price of butter is not what it has
been in some other years. There were
reported to the commissioner for 1900
total of 1,295,960 COWS valued at $685.

This average is II cents higher than
in the year previous and IS. head
higher than in 1895. The increase in
number of cows over 1899 was about
$4,000, while the increase over 1895
was 100000. The price Of butter in
1893 was 81 cents on an average for
the year; in 1894, "a cents; in 1895. 81
cents; in 1896, 20 cents; and in 1900

The Farmer and the Telephone.

The earlier development of the tele-
phone was naturally confined almost
exclusively to cities. After the bust
ness of central telephone stations
came to be well extended, the idea
of connecting these. by lines uniting
different cities became prominent, and
long-distance telephony was developed
as an essential adjunct to the general
telephone distribution. 1t was not I'M
til the movement known as independ-
ent telephony was well under way,
however, that the telephone was in
troduced into rural districts, and was
made available for f"smers and other
people living Z country.
The expiitv---l of very many of the
fundamental patents upon telephone
apparatus permitted the manufacturer
of telephones and their auxiliary ap-
pliances by manufacturers in
general, and competition among
these soon brought the price of tele.
phones to so low point that the es-
Establishment of circuits, even of con-
siderable length, was very inexpensive.
advantage of this fact was taken by
some of the independent telephone
companies in cities and large towns in
the eastern part of the country, and
also more particularly in the middle
west, which began to extend their
lines into the country districts and to
work up a business among farmers.
The enterprise was an immediate and
astonishing success. So important
sAd the telephone appear to the farmer
that in many districts where the en-
terprise of the exchange management
in the neighboring town was not suf-
ficient to build such lines, the farmers
dubbed together, raised the necessary
capital. which was small, and often
built the lines themselves, stringing
wires upon poles cut from their own
wood lots.
The same principle has been put in
operation in rural sections of the east,

Labor Day Celebration.

LABOR LAY celebration.
The committee appointed by the
Trades and Labor Assembly to map
out plan of celebration for Labor day
Monday, September 2, have about de-
cided on the program and will report
to the Trades and Labor Assembly,
which is held Wednesday even
ing, June IL. 1t has been definitely
decided to invite all of the Unions in
towns adjacent to Ottumwa to partici-
pate with the local Unions in celebrat-
ing the day. In fact 1t will be made
a Sixth District affair. The program
to be submitted to the Assembly by
the committee includes a grand pa
rade in the morning, including floats
representing the industries of this dis
trict. There will also be an athletic
program given on the ground, for
which prizes will be offered, to the
winners of the various contests.
Prominent labor speakers will be en-
gagged, swings, merry-go-rounds, etc,
will be on the grounds. In fact the
committee intends to make this Labor
Day celebration the greatest ever held
in the state. The committee will also
suggest an illuminated parade in the
evening, concluding with grand ball.
The Machinsts' Strike.
The general strike ordered by the
International Association of Machin-
lists to enforce general nine hour
work day for that craft, throughout
America has been successful in ma
jority of the cities where large num-
Der of machinists are employed, and
where strike was found necessary
to inaugurate a shorter work day This
again illustrates the efficacy of the
Trades Union movement, and substan-
llates the statement of First Vice
President Duncan, of the American
Federation of Labor, who says, 1.-THE
Trades Unions have accomplished
more for the wage-earner in ten short
years, in reducing his hours and in
creasing his pay, than all the state
legislatures and different sessions of
congress have gwen to the workers,
in the last fifty years"
Through and by the Trades Unions
the wage-earners make laws, and
strictly enforce them, without relying
upon any judge or court to pass upon
their consti.utionality that gives to
the wage-earner the shorter work day

tie sex are at last revolving against
this custom.
A true sportsman no longer prides
himself on the size of his bag of game,
but recognizes the duty of moderation.
and becomes preserver rather than
a destroyer.
Man has always been killer. The
first man ever born of woman was
Cain, and his hands are imbrued with
his brothers blood. Nothing is so de-
struetive as a dog except boy. He
begins to STAY things from the time
that he can first hold stone in his
chubby hands. A boy with a muzzle-
loading, single-barreled, snooth-bored
musket will slaughter more game in
day thansan skilled sportsman with
a breech-loader, snnokeless powder.
and the finest equipment obtainable
at sporting supply house.
Our ancestors were all killers. In
the caverns of the prehistoric man we
find that bones OF the reindeer, cave
bear, and human beings are mingled
with the weapons OF the stone age.
The battle cry of the Moslems was,
In the name of Allah kill. kill, kill!'
From the days of the troglodyte to
the present hour an unequal contest
has been waged by man against the
lower animals. The arrow and the
stone weapon seem to have been sufh-
cient for the determination of the
mammoth of ancient days. Then came
iron and steel, cross-bows, hawkin, and
finally with gunpowder, man became
the terror of all living beings. Once
there was limit to mans power to
destroy, now he is omnfdestructive.
Once there was a limit to his capacity
to travel; now he goes five hundred
miles for a days shooting, or travels
half way round the globe for a brief
outing.
In 1884 Lawrence snapped two flint
lock pistols in vain at President Jackl
son. In 1881 Guiteau's revolver made
no failure in his attempt on the life
of President Garfield.
The immensely Of mans power to
destroy imposes responsibility to
preserve. We have seen Gods crea-
lures disappearing so rapidly before
the tremendous power of modern in
vention that the whole world has
paused to contemplate the extermina-
ton of all the lower forms of life. A
birdless world would not be place
fit to live in, and birdless air would
not be fit to breathe. The survival of

The Dingley tariff law contains a
provision to prevent the gathering Of
eggs of wild fowl in Canada and their
importation for commercial uses to
the United States. A like prohibition
was recently inserted In the laws for
the government of ALASKA.
With a vigorous enforcement of
state laws, supplemented and aided
by national statutes, reinforced by an
enlightened public sentiment, we may
look for a partial restoration of our
feathered friends in the woods and
fields. Let Us save the birds.
