Gratifying acknowledgment 81 the -
sistance Of the club women in the interest
Of pure food legislation Is MADE by = num-
Der Of men most interested ~ the passage
Of the Hepburn pure food bill in congress.
which has recently passed In the senate.
Senator Hepburn wrote as follows 20 Miss
Alice Lakey. who las bees a prominent
member Of the club women's committee:
BY this time you are well aware Of the
results Of the Rure foos bill In the senate,
and / am certsin that you are pleased
thank yCu fer your great assistance IN
this matter. IL must still take its chances
in the house, but the only danger there
will I've that the house will want a u,ucl
more drastic measure.
In another note Senator Hepburn wrote
Miss Lakey.
You and your colleagues have assisted
materially in creating puzzle sentiment n
isNor Of this legislation, and ] hope you
will not spare your efforts until the bill
has passed the house.
A letter from r. NJ Allen. secretary OF
the Kentucky Agricultural Experiment
station says:
The bill has passed the senate, but 1t
vii not be law until VIC pass II in She
house. The interests which fight Il in the
senate will do their best to defeat Il in the
house. Colonel Hepburn ana Judge RiCp-
ardson can do great things in the houss,
but they will need some outside help ia
passing this bill, although DR.. Wiley be .
leVcs that II will be easily passed in the
house. have been connected with the
fight fo1 about five years, and / speak
knowingly when / say that the interest
and support which the women have given
the bill have been one OF the strongest,
IL not the strongest influence in accom-
plishing last Wednesday bis victory.
FRAY accept my sincere CONGRATULATIONS for
the noble work which YOU have done in
arouSing their interest.
This is the first great federal measure
in which the club women have taken an
active interest, and suck expressions or
appreciation from the congressman and
others who are bearing The responsibility
will certainly encourage them TO continue
their interest The next thing to which
the women will turn their attention is
the matter for an appropriation to secure
an official Investigation into the industrial
conditions OF women in the United States.
The industrial committee is this week
sending out petitions which they will he
asked to nil and send to the congressman
from their respective states. The letter
and petition have been held until the
proper time for srousing the interest OF .he
congressman in the investigation. Al hrst
it was thought that a bill would have 20
be passed appropriating the money, but
shorter and much surer way was finally
decided upon. The secretary OF commerce
and labor has interested himself I'm this
measure advocated by the club women
and has agreed TO ask that this approPria-
ton he added to his budget. The club
women have been advised by friendly menu
bers OF congress, however that all their
Influence will be necessary to create the
favorable sentiment necessary 70 this end
They are urged to send in their petitions
promptly and also 10 send personal letters
to their congressman urging the importance
OF the measure.

said. She discouraged the practice of maxi

really gifted, and advised the average
mother TO read well and reread the great
world stories and then tell them to their
children. The ancient myths and much

too old for young children she recom-
mended, but never the aimless stories
Mother Goose and some OF the fairy sto-

cautioned women against letting children

Will Print Census.

The Supreme Court of Iowa, and the
United States Federal Court, in both of
which temporary injunctions have been
secured restraining the executive
council from publishing the last state
census on account OF the claim OF the
temperance people of Atlantic that the
returns from that city had been padded
SO as to show a population of over
5000, in order to allow mulct saloons to
be operated, was dismissed last week
and the census will be published. 1t is
thought the executive council will
issue their notice changing the class Of
certain towns from towns to cities of
to second class in time so that the
change can be made at the coming cleo
tion, which is to be held the third Mon
day in March. Leon is one Of the
seven towns which is advanced, and it
will be necessary to divide the town in
to at least three wards, and elect an
entire new set of city officials, although
there is nothing which will prevent
any of the present officials from being
again elected.

BY vote of 80 to As, the Iowa legis-

between Geo. r. Whitmer, democrat
and Charles 1oude, republican, for the
honor Of representing O'Brien county in
the Legislature. Whitmer was elected
in 1904, and the opposition claimed he
had removed from the county, so Gov
ernor Cummins declared a vacancy and
at a special election last November
Yoade was elected, the democrats not
voting, Whitmer claiming he was enti-
tied to the Office. The result was great
surprise, as it was thought the republi-
can members would vote for Youde, but
enough of them voted with the demo-
Gratis to seat Mr.. Whitmer.

Another Horse Sale Friday.

The second big horse sale of the Leon
Horse Co., for this year will be held at
Leon on Friday of this week Their
last sale was the biggest kind of
success and all records were broken
for high prices. Fer this sale there
has been over two car loads of good
horses shipped to this city to be sold at
the sale in addition to the horses which
have been consigned from this county.
1t is going to be good sale, and if you
have any horse flesh to sell this will be
your opportunity, for horses are selling
high, and there will be number of
buyers here. There will also be a
a car load of good young mules sold at
this sale. Me farmers of Decatur
county are just beginning to realize
what a good thing for them these horse
sales are, for they bring a number of
foreign buyers here and every horse
sells for highest price that any Of them
will pay and competition between the
buyers for good horses is very strong
You cannot afford to miss this sale, and
you ought not fail to list any horses or
mules you want to sell.
