to 60 to New York to take charge of
the department. He is to go through
the butter exchange daily with his as
sistants and inspect and test all the
butter. If he finds that the butter
coming from Iowa is deficient because
the cattle are not fed the proper ra.
lions or because the butter is not
properly kept he will report that fact
to the dairy commissioner of the state.
State Dairy Commissioner H. r.
Wright and other butter men Of the
state believe that this department es-
tablished at New York City will event
ually be of inestimable value to Iowa
butter men and to the dairy interests
of the state. 1t is confidently claimed
by the dairy men that there will not
only be regained the 100000 that
has been lost in the last year, but a
great deal more besides.
The great bulk of the butter made
in Iowa goes to New York City. Some
goes to Chicago. Minnesota and iii.
nois ship largely to Chicago. 1t is ex-
pected by the department at Washing
ton to establish these inspection de-
partments in every large center. Inc
state dairy department of Iowa is
proud of the fact that one OF its as
sistant dairy commissioners should be
selected for tAe work at New York
where the greater amount Of Iowa but
ter goes. Assistant Commissioner
Keefer has gone to New York also to
accept a position with GUIDE Brothers
and the two Iowa men will be thus
thrown together in the work there and
Iowa will be the beneficiary.

Clinton Advertiser (Dem.): In
this contest Governor Cummins has
the sympathy of the democratic press
and leading democrats IN all portions
of the state, as it is believed that
Governor Cummins is doing more to
bring democratic principles to the
front and to the attention Of the vot-
ers than could be done by a score OF
democratic speakers. Govern o r
Cummins is able to secure an audience
with republican voters which no DEM
ocrat could secure. He is sowing dis
content in the rank and file of the re-
publican voters.

AN incident historic in its nature
was enacted in New Orleans during

union, when 400 white uniformed
iackies from the United States cruis-
er Columbia marched in the veterans
parade, saluted the Confederate flag
and presented arms to Gen. Steven D.
Lee, commander-in.chief, and were m
turn saluted by the wearers of the
gray. Their appearance ELECTED en-
thusiastic applause from the thous-
ands of Southern spectators, vieing
with if not exceeding salvos of shout
ing which greeted the playing OF

FOR BETTER BUTTER.

Iowa has lost about s2,000,o0o be-
cause of the drop in the price Of but
ter during the last several months.
The drop in price is declared by those
who know to be due to the quality OF
the butter and there are fears that
the price will go still lower. Secre-
tary Of Agriculture James Wilson has
a watchful eye and because Of the fact
that Iowa has lost s2,O0O,OOO and other

The consolidation of the Oskaloo-
sa G Buxton Interurban Co. and the
Oskaloosa Traction & Light Co. seems
to be the wise thing to do. One is
necessarily dependent upon the other,
and two independent plants would be
"a menace one to the other. Besides,
the acquisition Of the o. T. C L. Co,
makes the interurban going con
Germ from the start, which is most de

All is in a fiutter;
Parlor isn't swept;
Live on bread and butter
How the house is kept
Breakfast: One stale waffle
That no one can like
This is simply awful;
Mothers on strike!
Baby's in the cradle
Yelling like fiend;
Pot and pan and ladle
All wait to be cleaned;
Milk is in the bottle
Waiting till it sours-
Mothers quit the throttle,
Struck for shorter hours.
Everything is dusty;
All the fires are out;
Knives and forks are rusty,
Trash is all about.
Children all need dressing
Where's the brush and comb?
Isn't this distressing?
No one runs the home.
Fathers argumentatiye;
Mother won't reply
Says there's no incentive;
She won't sweep and fry,
Wash and dress and hustle
This was her remark
Sacrificing muscle
From the dawn till dark.
Frowns on arbitration;

Mothers smile is sweet;
She is bland and pleasant;
She is full Of pluck.
Home is fierce at present
Mothers gone and struck!

cause it is the Hover to which we have
pledged our loyalty. 1t is the "Queen of
| Beauty whose monarchy is most absolute,
whose throne is most ancient, and whose
| supremacy has been acknowledged like that
OF truth itself
! Why even back in the 9th century, before
our era, at the very dawn of history, Sappho,
the celebrated Greek lyrist, sang:
"If Zeus should choose us Queen of the flowers
in his mirth
He would call on the rose and royalty crown il.
For the rose no, the is the grace of the earth.
Is the light OF the plants that are growing lpon
For the rose no. the is the eye of the flowers
Is the blush OF the meadows that call them
selves fair
Is the tightening OF beauty
Even in the early days of Greece the rose
was as we'll known in the flower market at
Athens as now in COvent Garden. Cleo
patra had the floors of her palace covered
with rose leaves foot and a half in depth,
and Nero is said to have expended 100000
in roses to adorn the table at one o. his
feasts. In those times they made wine. per-
tume, oil ard medicine from roses. lnCeed,
they We're quite necessary article.
This flower. born in the east, has beer diff
fused like sunlight over all the world. The
E>quimauX adorn their hair and their raj
ment Of deer and seal skin with the rose
which grows abundantly upon stunted
bushes, the CreOieS of Georgia tWint the
rose in their sable locks, the parched shores
of Bengal are covered in the spring with
beautiful white rose, found also in China,
and so likewise i'll every part OF the globe
We find the rose much beloved.
June, the most beautiful month in the
year, is known as the month Of roses. Eng
land has chosen the rose as its national
flower: and We all remember the notable
part played by the rose in that great con-
test between the houses of York and Lam
caster, known as the War Of the Roses.
Again it is the emblem of love and in this
capacity figures very largely in llterat Ire.
TennySonS Maude is not the only Queen
rose in the rosebud garden Of girls From
time lmmemorial it has been the custom OF
this sweetest and best of flowers. The in
spired author of the ">ong of Songs" can
express his sentiments in no more apprO-
pirate words than these, 81 am the rose of
Sharon and rapt Isaiah, when he would
propheSy of great good to come, says that
"the wilderness shall blossom as the rose.
Many humber poet, too, who has learned
to see "SermonS in stones, books III the
running brooks, and good in everything"
has heard the rose preach to him as it hath
said ''to the dewy morn,
Il am most fair. yet all my lovelineSs is born
Upon a thorn.
Lovely as the rose is in its natural cOndi
ton, it has been deemed worthy OF great
care and cultivation. Every year in the
large cities OF the United States there are
rose exhibitions on which many OF our mil
lionaires spend thousands of dollars
Yet when all is said and done what have
we more beautiful than the simple garden
rose to which We pledge anew our loyalty
tonight.

Miss Shuman's essay on the rose, which

and was as follows:
"What's in name? that which we call a
rose, by any other name would smell as
sweet" so sang the poet in words whose
general purport is quite true. yet for the
class of 1906 there is a magic in the name
''rose,' which all the arguments of the
philosophers could not dispel. If forced
at length to submit to their logic ours would
still be the case of the man, who, ''convinced
