Iowa Gets Meeting.

The general Presbyterian assembly,
which has been holding its session at
Winona Lake, Ind, has selected this
city as its next meeting place. Column
bus was urged strongly. but Iowa's
representative under adverse circum-
stances made desperate plea for
1owa's capital and he was successful
when the vote was taken. In this city
the honor is looked upon as one which
seldom falls to its lot. The gathering
is the largest in the country and the
meeting in Des Moines next year will
be regarded something Of a compli-
ment to the entertaining powers Of the
state capital.

Doctors Should Remove Bearda.

0ocUoCs SnOu1o neuoV0 0e6fQA.
DR.. ]. s. Kennedy, secretary Of the
state board of health, has experienced
the tinge which being famous gives the
possessor of that fame. Recently the
physician declared an ultimatum issued
to Iowa doctors that in order to avoid
the possibility of carrying germs in
their boards they should be smooth
shaver. Not such a remarkable state
ment, after all, but with an enterprising
newspaper man in possession Of the
statement, it is made SO. Little doubt
exists as to the merit of the pointer. 1t
is good one, and physicians would do
well to follow it. In Germany there are
many organizations which compel ply
sicians to remain smooth shaven for
this very reason, and in time Of epidemic
the method is found invaluable.

URGES Study of Botany.

In an extremely interesting series OF
lectures which Prof. L. H. Pammel, OF
Ames, is delivering before Iowa people
on the relation of science to agricul-
ture that eminent scientist punctures
effectively the widespread and errone-
Gus belief that botany has little appli-
cation TO the art of agriculture. He
says: ut used to be taught In the old
er botanies that the subject was good
enough for women, but was not study
which could be taken up seriously by
men. An old text book by MISS Lin
coin makes the statement that tho
subject of botany is peculiarly adapted
to females and the hope was e1-
pressed that acquaintance with the
natural sciences on the part of wom-
en-, might eventually take the place Of
scandal as their chief interest. But
botany has a higher mission than as
a substitute for scandal Bacteriology
is one of its newer divisions. When
| the history of science shall be written
of this and the last century, 1t IL prob
| able that the achievements along the
line of bacteriology will be given nrst
place, not only because Of the alleyia.
ton of suffering. but because Of its
many relations to agriculture md Tie

FLAG DAY IN IOWA
ANNUAL EVENT TO BE OBSERVED
ON JUNE IA.
GOVERNORS PROCLAMATION
Stirring Document from cummins
Tells Of Reasons Why the Day
Should Be Observed with
Reverence.

(Russell Woodland, Staff correspondent
Des Moines, Ia, May 29.-GoV. Cum
minis has issued proclamation setting
forth the fact that flag day will be OBJ
served throughout the state with prop
er ceremonies on June IA. Although
the day has been observed to consid-
cradle extent during the past lew
years, politicians will, when the legls-
lature meets next winter, urge that a
law be passed, the object of which
will be to prevent the dissertation Oh
the flag by using it for advertising pur-
poses. 1t is expected that on June a.,
nearly every educational institution IN
the state, and several military organi-
cations will hold services or exercises.
The governors proclamation follows:
Gradually, but with loyal persistence,
the people of the United States are es-
tablishing the custom of setting apart
one day in the year upon which the
flag OF our country is made the shrine
of patriotic devotion. Every year the
emblem of our sovereignty grows rich
or with memories, and every year 1t
becomes more significant in the prog
ress of the world. 1t embodies all that
we have been, all that we are and all
that we hope to be. Written all over
its beautiful folds we read the history
of our victories, both in peace and war
To look upon it stirs the pride Of every
good citizen, and to remember how
brilliantly it has led us to the high DO
sition which we now occupy strength
ems our resolution to march on, witt
brave hearts and perfect confidence
Now, therefore, /, Albert B. Cummins
governor Of the state of Iowa, do here
by appoint Wednesday, June IA, 1905
as Flag day, and earnestly hope tina
the people of Iowa will, upon that day
fill the air with "Old Glory" Let i
float everywhere, over church, school
house, workshop, store, Office ant
dwelling. Let it teach a noble lessor
to the old as well as the young. LIE

our common country"

the dinner at Hotel Somerset tonight
and discussed the tariff question,
arguing against free hides and free
wool.
President William Whitman, who
presided, declared that the sentiment
OF the association was against q re-

Congressman McCleary said, among
other things: ''If the people of the
east put wool on the free list, we of
west will put woolens on the free list.
The day you put hides on the free list
we will put the finished product on the

Congressman Gardiner said that
there had never been time after a
tariff revision when business had not
suffered. The western farmers had
once been ruined by free wool and
did not wish to repeat the experience.
