New Years eve when it puts on a
really great presentation of The
Messiah for the benefit of Keokuk peo-

great musical events under it's auspices
in which some of the greatest must
clans of the time have been heard
here-and would not have been heard
in Keokuk except at the expense of
the Monday club.
This great oratorio will be given
by the full chorus of owe a hundred
voices of club members, who have
been training for months to make tais
the finest oratorio singing ever heard
in this city. No expense has been

To Reciprocity Committees,

This Is of course new venture
for the first district. Let us do all
we can this year, and in time it will
be one of the most important of all
committees. Would like each mem
Der of my committee to collect all
the valuable papers she can in her
own town and send copies to me- !
will keep them, and when there are
enough will publish list of them
in our organ" any one wishing one
of them can get 1t by writing to me.
If your club has or knows of valu-
able book or magazine on the diff
ferent subjects which interest club
women, report either to me or
Echoes"
Exchanging booklets and visiting
each other in our, club work would be
valuable reciprocity work
Should like to hear from each
member of my committee. You have
many good ideas, please send them
to me.
Yours sincerely,
MRS. C. A. HOOVER.

men and women. 1t is not fad nor
an ephemeral movement, but is an
undertaking seeking truth In spirit
of fairness and justice. It proposes
to protect and preserve the wild life
of this continent and, so far as 1t
can, of the world, until such time as
careful and exact scientific study can
determine the value to the human
race of all wild creatures, and to
this end 1t is the purpose of this
society to prevent, by all lawful
means, the selfish and wasteful prac-
tees that have so long been in vogue.
The blind rage and reckless abuse
of our critics will have no further
effect on us than to make us more
firm in our purpose.

Tho Audubon Societies Of America.
(By Miss Estella Crowder.) w.

by MISS EStella CrOwder.)
The Audubon societies are organi-
cations formed In the various states
for the protection of our Wild birds
and animals. Although there are
federal and state laws for the pro-
lection of both game and non-game
birds and animals, yet these are
often disregarded, and the work of
destruction goes on until some of
our birds are near the point of, total
elimination. Then in addition to
this great destruction by unthinking
sportsmen is the slaughtering of
thousands Of birds for millinery pur-
poses. This is practice not only
wanton and cruel but also silly.
This dangerous tendency toward
the entire destruction of some of our
most valuable animals has aroused
thinking men and women all over
the country. They are now seeking
to turn the tide in the opposite d.
rection. Earnest men and women
have been led to organize themselves
into societies for the protection of
these creatures.
BY common consent these societies
have adopted the name of the Audi
bon Societies. The name Audubon
is taken from John James Audubon,
a great bird lover and our first
American ornithologist. A little
white button, with the picture of an
Audubon warbler and the words,
Audubon Society. We will protect
the birds, their nests, and eggs"
printed on it, is the badge adopted
by the societies.
There are Audubon societies ex-
listing in thirty-eight states now.
These state associations are made up
of various school and civic organiza-
tions. The Junior societies are
especially fruitful of good work. The
members are school children who are
being taught the habits, food and

home life of the birds. But best OF
all they are given heart culture and
true refinement in the lessons Of
mercy and good will which are in
culcated. This work of educating
young children to be considerate and
merciful to all creatures is the best
work of the associations. The adult
societies are composed of men and
women who ave generally active in
work beneficial to the country. The
State Federation of Women's Clubs
in various states are doing active
work.
The first state associations we're
founded in 1896 when West Virginia
Pennsylvania, and Massachusetts, or
ganized. Since then Maine, YER
mont, New Hampshire, Connecticut
Rhode Island, New Jersey, New York
Maryland, Delaware, Virginia, North
Carolina, South Carolina, District of
Columbia, Georgia, Florida, Louis
ana, Tennessee, Kentucky, Ohio, In
diana, Michigan, Missouri, Illinois
Wisconsin, Iowa, Minnesota, Nebras-
ka, North Dakota, Oklahoma, Texas
Colorado, Wyoming, Oregon and
California, have formed active soci.
cites. In 1900 these societies were
united In a National association Of
Audubon Societies. This is corpo-
rate organization with substantial
endowment fund. The especial work
of this association has been CD to
promote legislation relating to the
protection of birds and wild animals;
1t has succeeded in the passage of the
model game law In thirty-five states.

ANNUAL REPORT.
Interesting Statement on Condi-
ton of County Dispensaries.

Office Not IIcavy-Aggrcgatc Sales
Very Inrgc-Tabulatcd Statement.
Mr.. w. b. West, the State dispen-
sary auditor, Thursday submitted
his iirst report to the general assem-
bly,, showing the operation of the
county dispcnsarics since their os-
Establishment in March. The report
goes into the work Of systematiZing
n books in each county and ex-
plains how each book is kept. All
or these books have been examined
and Mr.. West has met from time to
time with the county boards ana adj
vised then as to the management of
the business. The only shortage dis
covered during the year was in Col
umbia when one Of the dispensers
was $1,000 short i'm his accounts.
This amount "a paid up. Outside
OF this case the books and accounts
have boon well kept.
Mr.. West a y that "thc cost OF
this Office from the time it was open
ed in March to the 3lst day of Dee
cmbcr was $%4.100.47. The aggre-
gate gross sales made by all the dis
pensarics in the State was $2,G9I,-
663.I3. The total net profit was
95,O5G.Gl. BY Il comparison of
these figures IL is seen that the cost
Of maintaining this Office was 500 of
! per cent. OF the gross sales, or 3-5
per cent. OF the net profit earned.
After having had 10 months OK
pcriencc in the work it is my opinion
that it can be done in accordance
with h law if | am given the as
s~istance Of two competent clerks and

it is a physical impossibility for me

time required by law"

Prohibition i'm the South.

BY the year 1912 one of the CHIEF
planks of one Of the greatest parties
will be prohibition, if the signs of the
times are worth anything. The South
is going to be for prohibition, the
days of saloon licenses are swiftly
passing away there The churches
are all at work and public men are
joining them. BY actual test it has
been found that where promiscuous
liquor-drinking was stopped, the
jails are empty, there are no more
street brawls, even ace-differences
no longer lead to violence. 1t was
begun to stop the troubles in the low
sections where the lower class of
negroes with the degraded class of
whites met and clashed. Now they
meet and there are no clashings.
Could the whole negro population be
suddenly transported to some other
country, the movement might stop,
but now it is growing and spreading
and at the present momentum the
whole south will, in four years more,
unite in demand for national pro-
hibition 1t is marvellous change
and it is in the hands of a cool and
brave race that when it thinks it is
right, does not turn backward. When
it becomes a reproach to be seen
drinking, men will give it up. Then
southern people always work togeth-
er when a certain class approves of
anything, it is but a step to suspend
the rules and make it unanimous

Is 1t Local Option?

1t is worthy to mention at this
time the rising sentiment in Idaho in
favor of local option. From various
parts of the state come expressions
favoring the passing of an efficient
local option law by the next legisla-
ture. At the recent meeting of the
state republican committee there was
strong sentiment in favor of the
law, and though it is out of the prov
ince of committees to pass resolu-
tons upon party policies, which
function properly belongs to conven-
tons, yet 1t is doubtless true that a
majority of the committee feels that
the time is ripe for the PRONUNCIATION
of this cause. @ &
Local option is the only form of
temperance law which gives the
people of a community a chance to
regulate their own affairs.
z. 1t is prohibition applied locally.
1t is the popular rule applied to a
locality.
Under a properly framed local OPP
tion law, the citizens of city. pre-
cinct, township or county can legis-
late as they please respecting the liq-
uor traffic. And when once they do
legislate the law will be enforced be-
cause a majority of those affected
favor its enforcement.
The Republicans gave Idaho her
Sunday rest law.
The Republicans gave Idaho her
anti-gambling law.
The Republicans have given the
state just about every other law now
on the statutes, which is worthy OF
mention.
The Republicans can and will en-
act an efficient and successful local
option law whatever it shall appear

When President Roosevelt first
conceived the idea of hunting trip
year or so ago, Teddy" was a
promising cub of one week, the pride
of his mother, and the envy of two
little bear brothers of the same age.
The usual life of bear was all
that Teddy looked forward to-, until
one day while the mother bear was
out foraging, the presidents young
son happened across the cozy home
the rocks where Teddy and his
brothers lay fast asleep.
A couple of casting nets soon made
Teddy and his brothers prisoners,
and they were carried to camp, fed
on milk from a bottle, and eventually
shipped to geological garden in the

Teddy's cute tricks and brightness
soon won him a host of friends

them the manager of "The Moon

dickering succeeded in purchasing
him from the authorities, and under
his patient teaching TEDDY" has be-

From Our EXCHANGES.
Site for Big Reservoir.

A deal for the purchase by the fed.
eral government of the 10OO-acre
Evans cattle ranch on the Blackfoot
river, needed as part of site for a
big storage reservoir, has been
closed with satisfaction to all parties
concerned, according to l.. L. Evans,
owner of the ranch, who was in the
city yesterday. He announces that
the deeds have been signed and that
everything is o. X. The price has
not been made public, but Mr. Evans
Is authority for the statement that
while the average figure being paid
for ranches along the Blackfoot by
the government-$2 per acre-did
not apply in his case, still the total
sum realized from the sale of the
land was eminently satisfactory, not
only to himself, but to Special Agent
Martin, who negotiated the deal. Mr..
Evans says that only few ranch
owners on the site or the proposed
reservoir are holding out, and that
these are expected to come into line
within a week or so. He says word
comes to him from an authoritative
source that work on the reservoir will
begin as early in the spring as the
weather will permit.
Mr.. Evans says he made sacrifice
Of his land on the Blackfoot at a
price lower than 1t was really worth
to him for the reason that he did not
want in any manner to hamper the
work of the government In complet-
ing the Fort Hall irrigation system.
The general development of this part
of the state which will inevitably
follow the contamination of the
plans of the government along this
line, will more than reimburse him
for the money he may have lost in
disposing of his big ranch at 80 low
a figure. He believes all other ranch
