Capitol Has Fire Protection.

The capitol of Iowa now has fire
protection. This is the first time IN
the twenty years the magnificent
building has occupied it's high position
in East Des Moines that this has been
true. The city has completed an ex-
tensive system of mains and in the
future such fire as occurred in the
building two years ago will be un-
likely.
The contention of the water COM
pany and of the city has always been
that the altitude of the city at this
point where the capitol is located was
such that water could not be thrown
into or onto the higher portions of the
building. 1t is true that the site OF
the building is the highest point III
the city. This difficulty has been
overcome by connecting the new sys-
tenn of mains, which have been laid
through the capitol grounds, with the
heating and power plant which fur
nishes the capitol with light and heat
and which is situated directly across
Grand avenue north from the build
ing In case of fire at the capitol now,
pumps in the power plant Will Dc
started and the water leading into the
capitol mains from the city mains
run through them. In this way the
pressure will be doubled or trippled
and no disastrous results from fire
are feared.

New Skyscrapers for Des Moines.

Des Mones expects to have at least
three new sKyscrapers next year. They
will probably be constructed by the
three big local life insurance COM
panies-the Equitable of Iowa, the
Bankers Life association and the Roy
al Union Mutual Life.
These are the "big three" of the
city and the prospective buildings will
be built with the funds of the COM
panies. The state law limits the Sc
curities in which life insurance COM
panies of Iowa may invest their funds.
Office buildings have always been on
the prohibited list heretofore but the
Legislature just adjourned amended the
insurance law to permit them to build
their own buildings.
When the companies asked the en-.
actment of this statute they said
they would undoubtedly build in Des
Moines Immediately the law went into
effect 1t will become operative July
4 and it is expected work on the COM
panies' buildings may begin in the
fall.

Farmers are Anxious for Registration
Secretary John Simpson of the state
department of agriculture is preparing
to register thousands of stations and
bulls, the new law, providing for regis
tration, going into effect July 4. The
statute now requires all bulbs and stall
lions to be registered. 1t requires
registration with the state of all stall
lions and bulls which are represented
as registered in any stud or herd book.
That is, if farmer has bull or
stallion which he does not claim is
registered, he need not register him
with the states officials. If, however
he claims it is registered animal he
must get state certificate.
Mr.. Simpson has received thou
sands Of letters regarding the new law
since the legislature adjourned and
has prepared a synopsis of the law
blanks for making application for
registration, showing the stud and
herd books recognized. ETC., and sent
them out to the farmers generally. He
expects that practically every owner
of bulls or stations in Iowa will take
advantage of the new law, which will
be of material advantage to those who
come under its operation.

Congress has at last decided that
the "plain people" shall be forced
to accept present of..garden seeds
valued at $4,000 whether they
want them or not. Representa-
tive Wesley Gaines of Tennessee
presented letters from his constitu-
ents showing that the farmers are
begging for free seeds. This should
not mislead anyone though. The
majority of persons will take any
thing they can get for nothing, and
if the government were to dis
tribute free frying pans or fine
tooth combs there would doubtless
be demand for them equal to the
farmers cry for free seeds.
