In opposition to those who would en-
croach upon the mall at Washington
for the site Of the proposed new agri-
cultural building, an agitation has been
started to influence congress against
any such plan. In this crusade for the
preservation of the landscape ideas
which originated with President George
Washington, the American Institute of
Architects has been particularly active,
and wide circulation has been given to
a circular of protest on the part of
that organization, which is in part as
follows:
In view of the definite intention of the
department to locate the new Agricul-
tural building so as to destroy the plan
of the mall as contemplated by Presl-
dent Washington, it is well to review the
efforts of the American Institute Of
Architects to restore this plan and to
show the conscientious and persistent
study of the park commission appointed
by the senate committee on the District
of Columbia.
Several years ago the senate committee
on the District of Columbia appointed a
commission to study and report on the
improvement of the District of Columbia

commission received of the work before.

After travel and investigation OF exist

the commission returned home prepared to
formulate scheme for the development
of the District of Columbia.
1t was surprising to find how broadly
and thoroughly Washington and l. Enfant
had grasped the subject This is clearly
shown in the skeleton of the city which
they have left u.s. After careful study
and consideration it was. thought best
to adopt the broad principles OF Pres1-

Conditions Have Changed.
Conditions have changed in the past
hundred years, and many and great prob

luton. The Potomac river is not now
where it was a hundred years ago; rec
lamation of swamp area has thrown
it half mile further west; the Washing
ton monument is not located on the cross
axes of the capitol and the White house
as contemplated, and the design Of the
monument is totally different from the
equestrian statue authorized by the con-
gress of the confederation.
Although the scheme as presented in
the plans of the commission is develop
ment OF the original plan; and is an ap-
100 years ago, the addition of the area
west of the monument, the needs of the
government for new office structures, park
areas and connections, statuary and wa
ter surfaces, have caused the commission
to solve such problems of utility and
interest according to the methods shown
in the drawings and models that are now
on view in the library of congress.
The scheme has been presented; when
will it be executed? 1t does not seem
in the realm of possibility that it will

our children see the finished results? That
is question for. the American people to

country which never existed before. The
economic development is far in excess of

the past. With this development will
come the desire and pride of the nation

ing to celebrate the 50th anniversary
of the settlement of Winneshiek coun-
ty by the Bohemians. Fifty years ago,
September 1st, the first Bohemian
families settled in this county and it
is the intention of the Bohemian citi-
zens of our city to gather together all
the Bohemian families possible on
that date, and have celebration that
will go down in history as one of the
greatest events of the kind that have
taken place in Winneshiek county.
The committee has been busy the
past week looking up suitable grounds
for the occasion and have decided to
have it on the banks of the beautiful
Turkey river adjoining town. Two
speakers, one in the Bohemian
language and one in the English
language, are being secured for the
day.

ALWAYS RUSH TO DRUGGIST

Their Mecca,

Il wonder why it is" said Chicago
druggist to an Inter Ocean reporter,
that when man on the street
gets q speck of dust in his eye he makes
bee line for drug store? He will
pass an opticians shop to reach it, too,
although men in that business are sup
posed to know more about the human
eye than we are. Taking tspecks' from
the eye Of the casual wayfarer is one of
the numerous forms of gratuitous serv-
ice that q druggist is expected to give
to the public. AS general thing it is
simple matter. II you catch hold of the
eysiash, draw the lid down, and then
roll the eyes. it's almost cinch that the
Irritating substance will come out. But
when Il won't we use an eyestone.
TITS curious, too, how most persons
will shy at an eyestone. Five out OF six
will exclaim, Not for mine,' or words to
that effect. Once under the eyelid, an
eyestone Is scarcely felt. The natural
action OF the eye causes 1T to travel. It
becomes sticky from moisture, and as 1t
moves around anything on the eyeball
adheres to it and comes out with it.
There is no more pain about it than in
using tooth brush. Whoever named
them eyestones deserves a thrashing.
