The Iowa delegates to the National
Farmers Congress at Niagara Falls, N.
Y, who were named last year will be
the delegates this year. They wera
named for two years and last year the
farmers went to Macon. Ga, which

representative from Iowa was B. F..
Clayton, of 1ndianola, who has been
attending these conferences for the past
fifteen years and has filed the position
of president for term of years. The
sessions will be held this year in the
hall in the great glass palace of the
company that makes shredded wheat
biscuits. one of the handsomest factor
les in the world. Mr.. Clayton antici-
pates that the congress will be much

Superintendent George Mogridse, OF
the institution for the feeble minded, az
Glenwood, has sent to the capl'ol
picture of the big kite which. according
to dispatches from Glenwood, carried
one of the boys high in the air. and ha
was compelled to slide down the string
in imminent danger of blstering his
hands. The kite is 12 feet high, or the
box variety, four feet square, ana nav
ing 1872 feet of resisting surface. Some
time ago it was stated that Eddy would
send up a camera in a kite six feet nigh
and attempt to get pictures OF the yacht
race Superintendent Mogridge thinks
the Eddy kite would look small besidS
the one the boys at the institution have
been playing with. He states that the
bows are experts at kite making and
find great pleasure in it, though he does
not vouch for the exact accuracy or
the newspaper accounts about the flight
of boy over the institution buildings.
