 Southington. Nov 25.-At a confer enee of the Sunday schools of the town held in the chapel of the First Congregational church Thursday night, Prof St John of the Hartford school of pedagogy made suggestion for ad- vancing Sunday school work which met with instant favor from the young people.
 He advised that young women be assigned to teach classes of young men and that classes composed of young ewomen be assigned to young men. He was confident the plan would meet with success. and the approving smiles of the young men and young woment present warranted a predic- ton at least of revival of interest in Sunday school work.

The Endorsements were so sweeping

the audience was fairly swept from

Des Moines, Feb. 21.-A ten pound
sample of oleomargarine was re.
ceived by State Dairy Commissioner
Wright yesterday. It came from the
Friedman Manufacturing company OF
Chicago which desires to secure the
approval of the state commission for
selling It's imitation butter on the Day.
export market.
Complaint had been made that the
oleo sold at Davenport had yellowish
color in violation Of the state law re-
Quiring all imitators to refrain from
using the color of genuine butter. A
sample was accordingly asked from
the Chicago company to see il it COM
piled with the law. The oleo received
is believed to fully satisfy the statute,
being almost absolutely white in color.
This sample also serves the double
purpose to the state dairy commission
Of assuring it that oleo companies can
manufacture OleomarSarine without a
yellow color whenever they desire to
do so. Sometime ago the Armour
company made a defense in an Oleo
prosecution under the color law, that
1t could not manufacture oleo without
being yellow in color. This the state
dairy commits sioner disputed and the
sample from the Friedman company
now seems to sustain his position.
AS a result of the vigorous anti-oleo
legislation the sale of imitation butter
has almost ceased in Iowa and the
state dairy commission records now
show that permits tor selling oleo at
retail are in force only in one city,

Des Moines, Feb. Ex-Governor
Cummins yesterday signed commits
sions for forty-nine Iowa high school
boys to represent the estate at the
presidential Inauguration in Washing

sections of the state who have been
recommended for the honor by their
respective school superintendent ow-
ing to their high standing in mental
and physical development. "
The remarkable large number Of
Iowa parents who have thus experess-
ed willingness to pay the consider
able expense for the trip of their boys
to the Inauguration has been a great
surprise but nevertheless great
qualification to the governor and state
superintendent. There is now every
assurance that Iowa wild have as fine
delegation of high school boys to
participate in the inaugural exercises
as any state in the union.
State Superintendent Riggs will
meet the Iowa boys in Chicago March

will leave in special Pullman Sleep

THE ELECTIONS
LAW IS GOOD
Judge Evans Sustains Famons
Constitutional Amend
ment.

Des Moines, Feb. 2O-The biennial
elections amendment is valid. Judge
w. D. Evans announced his decision
to that effect yesterday. His opinion
was filed with the clerk of the Story
county courts, and the attorneys IN
Des Moines were notified Immediately.
The court decided that the five d.
visions in the amendment, which the
attorneys for those attacking it in
sisted should have been submitted to
the people as separate amendments,
were integral parts OF the one propo-
sition and were essential to make
symmetrical, intelligent and effective
law out of the amendment.
An appeal to the supreme court will
be prosecuted Immediately. This was
practically agreed to at the time the
case was submitted to the district
judge. Each side consented to CO.
operate with the other If it were
successful in getting the controversy
to the attention of the supreme court
as quickly as possible.
If the supreme court will consent
and the litigants and attorneys have
no doubt that in a matter of SO much
Importance as this the justices will
cooperate cheerfully, the matter can
be submitted within three weeks, and
in the ordinary course of events an
opinion could be expected some time
next month.
If the supreme court should decide
against the amendment and reverse
Judge Evans there would yet be plenty
of time for the movement of the ma
chinery in Polk county for the hold
ing of the primary required under the
new law affecting this county alone.
The situation in this community with
respect to the new law is the thing
which actuates all sides in co-opera-
ton to secure decision of the ques-
ton from the highest court as prompt
ly as possible.
