The Berkshire place which EXPIRES
ident Cleveland and family are to oc-
cupy for the summer Is Riverside, al
birmingham, which Mr.. Cleveland has
leased says the New York Evening
Post. " Riverside is interesting from
the fact that birmingham people &C
tually believe that the old house was
for several days the headquarters OF
George Washington. The story goes
that Burgoyne's army marched over
the road running by the house, and
that a few days later Washington. With
a detachment, passed over the same
road and stopped at the old tavern fol
rest. One of the rooms is called Wash
ington's room. and its big fireplace,
wide doors with hand wrought hinges.
and low ceiling seem to bear out the
story and belief that the house Is at
least old enough to have had such
distinguished visitor. The origina,
structure was built in 1861. On the es-
tate there is famous trout stream"

little more than trace in the larger
part of the state.
Corn planting is now we'll advanced

EARLY planned fields show fairly good
stand. and cultivation is in progress IN
the southern and central districts
There are some complaints of damage
by wire and cut worms In fields recent
ly In grass, and some replanting will
be necessary. Rain Is much needed in
nearly all sections to prevent material
damage to oats. barley and spring
wheat. Several reports indicate that
the oat crop is thin In stand. and likely
to be below average In yield. Grass Is
generally doing fairly we'll, but rain Is
needed to Insure good hay crop and
maintain full supply of pasturage.
Fruit has not been injured MATERIAL
ly by frosts. Some reports state that
apple, plum and cherry trees did not
show usual amount of bloom, and the
yield will be light"

Iowa Falls, Ia. May 21.-The ques-
ton of the permanent location Of the
grand lodge knights of Pythias of Iowa
is again before the membership of the
order in the grand domain, and as the
subordinate lodge will select represen-
tattves at the first meeting in June who
will be instructed to vote on the ques-
ton of locating the grand lodge per-
.nanently.
OF the half dozen Iowa cities that
seek the permanent location of this
grand body, Marshalltown leads in
point of minimum cost to the grand
lodge for mileage, ETC. Waterloo Is a
close second while Cedar Rapids, which
willentertainth grand lodge this year,
is in third place. The Missouri and Miss
issippi river points show heavy mileage
expenses and may be out of the race on
this account. 1t is the opinion of
many that the permanent location idea
is an unpopular one and that the old
plan of a new location each year will
prevail. The entertainment of this
grand body each year has become a
problem for most cities owing to the
heavy membership of the grand lodge.
