DRAINAGE ASSOCIATION TO MEET
Second Annual Convention to Be Held
at Iowa State College At Ames.

Second Annual Convention to Be Held
at Iowa State College At Ames.
The second annual convention of the
Iowa Drainage association will be held
at the Iowa State college in Ames
January 10 and IA.
A year ago q state wide interest was
aroused in regard to the drainage prob
lem in Iowa. AS a result new drain
age law was enacted and scores of
important cooperative drainage propo-
sitions have been started. In a state
where it is definitely known that the
annual loss to landowners In each Of
many counties is four or five times as
much as the total running expenses
of the county, there is an urgent de-
mand for continued effort in behalf
of better and more extensive drain
age.
Iowa farmers and county and state
officials are urged to attend the drain
age convention next January and aid
in this important work, which is so
closely allied with the advancement
of Iowa's agricultural interests.
Government Expert. st
c. G. Elliott will speak particularly
to county supervisors and engineers.
His subject is, Drainage Claims and
Equitable Assessments in Drainage
District Work"
Prof. A. Marston, of the College of
Engineering, will present a most valu-
able paper on 1.-THE Importance of
Drainage in Good Roads Construc.

JOHN LEE MAHIN TALKS.
Tells How the Seller Should Organize
the Buyers.

Irle Buyers.
Maxims for advertisers were given
by John Lee Mahin, formerly of Mus
catipe, president of the Mahin Adver-
Using company, at the regular monthly
meeting Of the Chicago Credit Mems
association at KinsIeys restaurant.
Mr.. Mahin spoke on the subject, t'The
Value of Name" and dwelt chiefly
on the necessity of the seller creating
a proper attitude of mind on the part
of the consumer. Some Of the maxims
laid down were:
Advertising is not an appendage to
a business; it is the highest form of
Organization.
| The advertisement should express
the individuality of the house.
Every advertisement should ignore
competitors.
An advertisement should not attract
attention to itself for it's illustrations
or for the cleverness of it's author. but
| to the articles advertised.
If you are manufacturer" said
Mr. Mahin, "and organize your fac
tory into departments, bring to the
mind Of the men under you that your
policies must be carried out through
out the entire factory. But this is not
sufficient. You must organize the con-
sumers into the same attitude of
mind
Illustrating this theory, he said:

corsets no corsets would be worn. No

Musical Stars at Rehearsals.

Once a star shows herself to be let
ter PERFECT in lines and thoroughly ia
miliar with the business she is not
compelled to attend every rehearsal,
but her part is taken by the assistant
stage director or an understudy. This
is presumably because, being a song
bird, she requires time to rest and re-
cuperate in order to keep her voice in
condition.
One of the odd features of musical
rehearsals is what is known as the
''shoe try-on," which is in reality a
rehearsal for the firm receiving the
contract for %.shoeing" the production.
1t is absolutely essential that chorus
people should be easy and comfortable
on their feet, so one morning is set
aside for the fitting of the shoes. The
shoe man, with a corps of assistants,
comes to the playhouse and, in the
presence of the manager OF his repre-
sentatives, tries on every pair Of shoes
ordered.-New York Press.

A Story of Lucy stone.

A characteristic story is told of Lucy
Stone. At n of her early lectures,
when she made a strong statement OF
the injustice some of laws did to
women and an appeal to have them
righted, a hiss, clear and strong, came
out Of the audience. The little crea-
ture stepped nearer to the front, quick
~ ran her eye over the audience, fas-
tened her gaze upon one point and
said: Somebody Kisses. I am glad of
it. Hiss it again, my fat friend, for
it is a shameful fact and deserves to
be hissed." The audience was over
come with laughter and appreciated
her ready wit. The man felt as much
like a goose as a man car feel. He
got his head down before she had
finished her sentence, but her finger
still pointed at him. His head went
lower and lower, and as soon as the
audience turned from looking at him
he slipped out and was gone.

ed to enable it to leap lightly over the
hillocks and tree stumps with which
it's native country abounds. In Aus
tralia it is eagerly sought after by
hunters and provides splendid sport be-
cause Of its speed, it's vigor and it's
wariness. The claws on the kanga-
roofs hind feet are SO sharp and hard
that the a%boriginals use them for the
heads of their spears.
The sloth is another remarkable crea-
ture. AS you know, it spends the great
err part of it's life entirely upside down,
%traversing the branches of trees, from
which it hangs by it's curved talons,
with a speed that is anything but
slothful. On the ground, however, it's
walking is very painful, for it pro-
crosses only by digging it's fore paws
in the earth and then dragging it's body
up to them.
Many birds, again, have most extraor-
binary bills. The spoonful has a beak
whose extremity is just like a spoon;
the rhinoceros hornbill has a very large
one, to which is added a singular he'll
metlike appendage almost as big as
the beak itself in some species, but the
strangest bill Of all is the toucan's, it
being almost as long as the. birds body.
Fortunately it is very light, being thin
and strengthened by a vast number of
honeycomb cells, and does not in any
way incommode the toucan.
When the bird goes to sleep it sup
ports it's huge beak on it's back, ove
ing it completely with it's feathers so
that it is invisible.
And now a few words about extraor-
binary tails. The most wonderful for
splendor of plumage and coloring is
undoubtedly the %peacock's.
1t is not really a tail, but a train.
for the tail itself is of a grayish brown
color composed of feathers a few
inches long. These can be seen when
the beautiful feathers of the train,
with their green, blue, violet and gold,
arranged in such a manner as to form
a distinct eye, are raised.
The tail feathers of the white booted
jacket tail are also curious. They
have a slender stem with a patch OF
feathers at the end. But the tail of
the Tyre bird is even more singular. II
is often upward of a couple of feet in
length, consisting Of sixteen feathers
formed and arranged in a most grace.
full amer.
The two outer feathers are broadly
webbed and so curved that the widely
spread tail has the appearance of al
ancient Tyre. No doubt such pretty
tails are given birds for no other pur
pose than to add to their attractive
ness.
The wonderful power that monkeys
have of swinging from branches Of
trees by no support but their tails il
shared by several animals that live il
trees, among them the opossum.
Another remarkable tail is possess
ed by the fox. Indeed, it's bushy ma
ture, called by sportsmen the "brush,'
is the chief cause of it's downfall, TO,
it possesses strong scent glands which
leave a trail behind it as it run ant
so enables the hounds to follow an
