New York Tribune: France has become
so alarmed at the high death rate among

that she has taken steps to prevent their
total extinction. Reports from these far

prevalence among them of leprosy, ele-
phantiasis and other diseases born OF ig-
norance and evil customs. Fields that
once produced cotton and coffee are re-
turning to the jungle from the lack of
hands to til them. The revenues Of these

That Sunday fails of it's first pur-
pose which does not bring to mems
hearts thoughts of God. Primarily, the
day Is a memorial day. 1t tells OF the
goodness of God to the children Of men.
It's message is that we are his children
and that He is u Father and our
Lord. It declares that He cared for
us in the day Of creation, and that He
cares for us still. For the Christian
Sabbath speaks OF the resurrection, as
well as of the creation.

exploding OF HTecFdckeTS, the uln OIL
blowing whistles and the clamor Of
church bells marked the commence
ment OF glorious celebration. At $50
when the civic parade started the
streets were damned. AS early as $50
visitors began to arrive from nearbs
and distant towns So carefully had
the committee in charge of the celebra-
ton planned their program that there
was not a single hitch and all the
events were run off smoothly and with
out the least trouble. The exercises
started off with peg race on Main
street. which was won by Frank Booth.
The 1O0-yard dash had seven entries.
The race was won by Gus Peck %
YARDS, J. Donovan q yards, second;
J. Shea (scratchl, third.
After this race the societies formed
for the civic parade, which started at
9:45. The school children on floats,
the floats of the st Cecilia T. A. B. So
ciety and the Maccabees were fayora-
bly, commented upon all along the line.
There were over forty entries in the
five-mile race, the finish Of which was
very close. II. p. Daskam of Spring
dale was first, with handicap of Ia
minutes; r. w. Gorham, Seymour. 2
minute handicap, second Frank Will
liams, third; William Glynn. fourth.
The time prize went to Frank Williams
of Stamford. Time, 1852 minutes.
Perhaps the most amusing event on
the program In the way of races or ath-
letics was the fourth century Irish
horse race on Cherry street. It was
witnessed by large crowd. There
were four starters. Daniel Roach,
Frank Booth, Thomas Harmon and
Frank Schofeld. Roach won, Harmon
was second and Schofeld third.
The 220-yard dash was held on Main
street. John Shea won first prize,

The SUMNER GARDEN
SEEDS SHOULD BE STARTED IN
THE HOUSE NOW FOR EARLY
VEGETABLES.
ottumwa Grocerymen Are Receiving
Their Stock of Spring Seeds Every
Day-Desires of Every Purchaser
Can Be Granted-Local Markets.

These days of alternating cloud and
sun suggest that the time for prepar-
alton for the summer garden is at
hand. The first thing to do, of course,
is to get the seed started in the house
so that the succulent vegetables may
be on the table as early as possible.
Plenty of fine soil placed in shallow
boxes where the suns warm rays will
reach, and careful watering will give
all that is necessary for the start.
What will you raise in the garden?
One only needs to go to any Of the OF
tumwa grocers and this question will
be answered by the array Of various
seeds. which are being received each
day. Among the vegetables, those
commonly termed salads" deserve
more than passing mention because
they are useful in many ways and
available during so many months of
the year. In this class should be in
Guided spinach, parsley. cress, kale,
Swiss chard, lettuce and endive, or
winter lettuce. 1t is simply a matter
of preference whether gardner
grows dwarf peas or the tallest he
can find. if one is as productive as
the other. But II he wants to reap
the greatest profit and the most pleas
ure from peas or any other vegetable
he must have the very earliest and
latest varieties.

There are no changes in the loca
wholesale markets this morning, the
prices remain the same as those quot
