Arbor Day Proclamation.

This state is peculiarly interested in
the planting and growth of trees, and
enterprise of our people to supply the
shade and beauty with which other
parts of our country are naturally en-
dowed. We can render to better service
to those who come after us than to
plant and nurture for their use, trees
along our highways and streets and in
our parks, school yards and lawns.
Therefore, l, Albert B. Cummins, Gov
ernor of the state of Iowa, do hereby set
apart Friday, the 10Th day Of April, 1904,
as Arbor Day and earnestly recommend
that the people Of the state observe the
day so that the spirit which leads to it's
segregation from other days may be
made effectual; and l urge upon both
teachers and pupils the appropriateness
of planting trees in such places as may
be practicable. In testimony whereof, l
have hereunto set my hand and caused
to be affixed the Great Seal of the State
of Iowa. Done this 10th day of March,
1904. Albert B. Cummins.
By the Governor
w. B. Martin, Secretary of State.

Selecting and Preparing Seed Corn

There has not in many years existed
such widespread interest and apprehen-
sion concerning the quality of seed corn
in Iowa, as existing this year. Never
before have farmers and grain dealers
been so fully alive to the Importance of
this subject. Due attention to the
selection and planting of seed for the
seasons crop will very readily enhance
the value of the crop by many millions
of dollars. The Agronomy Department
of the Iowa State College has been max
ing careful study and investigation of
the entire subject of corn production
and bulletin on Selecting and Prepar-
ing Seed Corn is now being sent out that
will prove most timely and helpful. The
information given in this bulletin will
be of great practical value to the corn
growers of Iowa. The publication is
profusely illustrated and the subject of
selection and Improvement of corn is
treated in most interesting and in
structive manner. The bulletin is for
free distribution to the farmers of Iowa
and copies may be had by addressing G.
f. Curtiss, Director of the Experiment
Station, Ames, Iowa.

Takino Desperate Chances.

1t is true that many contract colds
and recover from them without taking
any precaution. or treatment, and a know
ledge of this fact leads others to take
their chances instead of giving their
colds the needed attention. 1t should be
borne in mind that every cold weakens
the lungs, lowers the vitality, makes the
system less able to withstand each sue
ceeding cold and paves the way for more
serious diseases. Can you afford to take
such desperate chances when Cham
berlain's Cough Remedy, famous for it's
cures of colds, can be had for a trifle?

Iowa People May Have Peat tt
Burn.

The peat deposits discovered near
Bows short time ago have proved to
be more valuable than it was at first
supposed. A careful examination of the
100 acres now controlled by the Iowa
Brick & Fuel Co. shows that the bed of
the east and west portions of the tract
is twelve feet thick and is made up Of
peat of the very best quality.-Iowa
Fall Sentinel.
Experiments have been made before
in this section for the utilization of the
peat deposits for fuel. Many years
ago quite expensive experiments were
made in Hancock county, where there
are a number of very good peat marshes,
and we know of few persons who used
the peat in their heaters for one winter
at least. The principal difficulty in the
preparation of peat for fuel, shown by
these experiments, and which may be
overcome by more modern methods, was
| in getting the bricks firm so as to resist
the weather. 1t was then prepared by
being cut out in blocks by spade and
dried, and during a dry time, made q
satisfactory article of fuel for heaters
but did not give off heat enough te
make it desirable in cook stoves. Ii
damp weather however the peat absorb
ed moisture, even when housed, to sucl
an extent as to make it PRACTICAL,
| valueless. If the Bows company will bt
able to compress the peat into bricl
firm enough to resist the action o
dampness, and it is kept housed unit
used, we believe they can produce al
ARTICLE of fuel that, in heating stoves
will be just as good, and at a cheape
price than hard coal. Properly prepar
ed it burns freely, gives out a ferven
heat, is clean and convenient to handle
but makes heavier ash than coal. |
the Bows experiment is a success, i
will have quite an effect on the fue
question in this part of Iowa, for tn
Vernon deposit is not by any means tn
only one in this section. Corning Ere

The Card Of Thanks.

e. Now that Editor Rinehart of the New
ton Herald has consigned obituary
poetry to the everlasting bow-wows, he
should whet his dagger for the 'card of
thanks" nuisance.-O skaloosa Herald.
Long ago we made war on the card of
thanks, and it is so unpopular in Jasper
county as consequence that it is rare
ly used.
| There was time when all who had
suffered bereavement thought it alb
solutely necessary to parade their grief
over their signature in public print.
The fact that others had done so seemed
to make it incumbent upon them to do
likewise.
That is all changed now. There has
at least dozen or more deaths in New
ton recently and in no case was there a
card of thanks. The local press is, or at
least ought to be thankful. The Herald
is the only paper that ever inaugurated
fight upon the system and it is natur-
ally pleased that the card Of thanks has
gone for good in Jasper county.
There was never anything to recon-
mend the practice. 1t was in bad taste
in the start and it never improved. 1t
was never approved by the press, and
all of the up-to-date papers have put a
price on the publication of the card Of
thanks not because they wanted the
money, but because they did not desire
to publish the cards at all and took this
method to drive them out.
There is nothing in all the world more
sacred than human grief. The loss of a
friend or relative is private grief, and
into this privacy no outside ear or eye
should penetrate. To advertise in the
paper that you are glad some friend aid
ed you in the death and burial of your
relative is in as bad taste as it would be
to nail an advertisement on the top of
the coffin.
All of the friends who have lent aid
and comfort in the time of affection did
so without any consideration of payment
in future gratitude. To exploit the feat
afterward is to imply that they perform.
ed each little kindness in the hope and
expectation of public pay. Those par.
ticular friends know that you are crate.
full. If you are not, publication in the
newspapers will not convince them O.
the fact. No one is interested in the
matter except those who are parties
and as the matter is peculiarly one o
privacy it should not be permitted tc
parade itself in the public prints
