with a capacity for 10000 eggs.
These eggs are not, however,

On Saturday evening the chapel
was filed with attentive friends,
enthusiastic in their appreciation Of
the merits Of the recital, and eager to
add their congratulations on the
success Of the last Of a series Of
splendid programs given by this class
at the college. The department is
under the direction Of Miss Perle
Shale, whose ability as a teacher ia
physical culture and expression is
evidenced by the work Of her pupils.
Careful training, and conscientious
study have brought the talents Of the
young ladies to such a degree of
perfection, that all were impressed
with Gladstone's wisdom in declaring
that ''time and money spent in traiu-

investment that pays a larger interest
than any other. In making special

During the college course, a long
line OF grim tYrsnts, Caesar, Cicero,
Virgil, Horace, Livy and Ovid had
made life miserable for these girls,
and at the last Quintilllan, the most
terrible OF all; had tortured them by
day aud haunted them by night; so
as an act OF mercy to those who may
follow, the class OF '05 decided to
burn old Quintillian ia enigy. Not
In a spirit Of revenge was this done,
but as an act OF mercy to succeeding
classes. While the flames rose high
er a dismal dirge was chanted and
the girls left the smoking ruins with
the consciousness OF having done their
duty to all succeeding classes.
While planting the Ivy near the
college wall, Miss Christine Lewis
read Mrs. Heman's charming little

cap and gown were committed to the
Juniors with the injunction that they

been devoted to new purposes and

Dainty souvenirs were given, a

OF the graduates in art,-Misses

cation was coming it just seemed ike
the old school year never would end.
All, those were the day, and what
would we not give now for a return

So the youngster is years old, Ell?
It don't seem seven years since the

made you feel the first time you heard
it. Remember the first word she
spoke? Sure! Remember the first
tooth? Yes, and the first step? Now
she is going to school and will soon be
up to your shoulder. Grandpa will not
have to stoop over SO far this year
when he drives the big brass headed
tack in the door casing to show her
birthday height, record he has kept
from the very first to the very last
borthday. First thing you know she
will be in college. and then before you
know it she will be having youngsters
of her own.
A baby? Yes, to us, mother, just as
she always has been and always will
be, but she does not seem like baby
to other any more. She will always be
our baby and the sweetest one of all.
God bless the mothers and God bless
the babies. 1t would be poor sort of
world without them.

poultry and eggs yet the demand re-
mains strong and will continue so long
as the purchasing power Of a people is
kept up by prosperous times. Produc-
ton, too, has been increasing, but the
business is not overdone. In the cen
sus of 1900 the poultry and egg pro-
ducts of Iowa were reported as worth
nearly twenty millions while the farms
on which buildings were located were
numbered at 22O thousand with twice
that many families, living within the
state in towns and on farms. Poultry
products, then, for the year, amounted
to 500 per farm and $45 per family.
They should be doubled and could cas-
lily be. Any proposition that will in
crease the wealth of Iowa $20,000,000
annually is worth writing about. That
is why the T.-R. advises farmers
wives to keep more chickens.

But these things cannot last all
ways. If the honest, moral God fear
ing members have not the courage to
stand by the people as against such
men, then we must find some other
way. Who is the American senator
to lead the revolt and make himself q

If the present senate of the United

morrow, the cause of good government,
of Industrial and individual liberty,
would have made a great gain. But
1t can not be abolished. It can Nnot

next winter. Kansas will refine her

See what has been done In the fight

take courage. When Iowa and Illinois

the people will begin to come into,
their own, and the whole trust fabric
will come tumbling down, and God help
