means for breeding different kinds
of corn, one of which shall carry an
excess of gluten, another of fat, an
other of starch. The work has been
started by Professor Holden, and at
the Iowa institution he hopes to be

tinct as are the different breeds OF
cattle, which will greatly multiply the
value of the product.

Elected President.
Joseph Eiboecll, editor of the
Staatz Anzieger, of Des Moines, was
elected president of the German
Editors association of this state at
their last annual meeting. He was
also presented with solid gold
watch. Col. Eiboeck lost a gold
watch through burglar few weeks
ago, and has mourned it's loss great
ly because it had been presented to
him by his friends at Elkader when
he left that town to come to Des
Moines 60 years ago. The editors,
reading of his touching reference to
the loss in his paper, decided to sur
prise him with a new timepiece to
take its place, as nearly as possible.
The presentation was made by La
fayette Young at a banquet which the
editors enjoyed during their meeting
here. There are IS German newspa-
pers in Iowa.

university. The first building erected
is three stories in height, is 1855 by IS,
and has a chapel that will seat 500
students. The institution starts off
with great promise. 1t was decided
at the national encampment of the
Sons of Veterans at Syracuse, N. Y,
in 1900 to build a national memorial
university. Mason City was candi-
date for the location, and through
the energetic work of A. L. Sorter
and others the Iowa town won over
several competitors. During two
years y sufficient sum of money was
secured to erect the first building and
to open the doors of the institution.
1t was planned to have the building
dedicated by President Roosevelt, and
when he is again in Iowa he will be
asked to attend the ceremony. 1t is
desired by the trustees of the insti-
tuition to have each building dedicat-
ed by q president, in order to make
the institution what it is intended it
shall be, national in character.
