Much Merit in New Law.

State Labor Commissioner Van
Dyne says that the new child labor
law, passed by the recent legislature
will prove of more benefit to his de-
partment than any other enactment
of the legislature. The amendment
which the legislature added was back
forces the employer of labor to have
always on hand certificate of the
proper age of any juvenile employees
SO that when the labor inspector
comes around, he may be satisfied
at once that the child labor law is
not being violated.

1t is announced that the package
freight steamers running in the lake
trade in connection with railroad lines
will start two weeks earlier than they
did last season. This is evidence that
business in general is picking up rap
idly, as the liners would not start
were not freight conditions pressing.
In a short time iron movement will
begin anew, and then there will be no

DR.. Ferrero, the Italian historian
now lecturing at Lowell institute in
Boston, says the odes of Horace were
not written as striving for literary
merit or to express thoughts that de-
manded utterance, but to promote the
wine industry in which he was inter
ested. In other words, he was a wine
agent, sort of predecessor of Harry

II is well, wise and commendable to

Treasurer Can Collect Fees.

Under the laws of the state Of Iowa
the county treasurer may charge fee
OF from 80 to so cents for receiving
and answering payments of taxes
through the mails. There seems To
be an impression abroad that the
county treasurer can not charge such
fees, but this is incorrect and the law
especially provides minimum fee of
80 cents. 1t has been the practice in
this county, and in fact in all coun-
ties in the state, to make the charge.
The object of the law was to provide
for the extra expense entailed in the
clerical work necessary to handle the
payment of taxes made by non-resi-
dents.

DIR. 8. c. Markley, one OF the men,
bers Of the hospitality committee Of
the Fall Festival association Is organ
izing boys brigade to do guard duty

tions is such that there is no danger
about them. However, such things as
woman fainting, or run away, often
occur at the least expected moment
and it is to guard against this that the
festival association has deemed it nee
essary to provide free medical service
The hospitality committee, of which
Fred III. Lemon is chairman, will pro-
vide for the convenience of the visit
ors in every possible way. There will
be several places in the city where rest
rooms will be provided and to which

OF course the Bumbaugh airship is
not half as large as the giant German
war balloon, the Zeppelin, but it is
closely modelled after the German craft
and is capable of great speed. No
wind that blows, except veritable cy-
clone, can prevent the Bumbaugh from
navigating the air currents and the
Bumbaugh does not have to run before
the wind, as do the gas bags. for the
reason that it is propelled by big
motor and steered by immense rudders.

trips daily. The field selected from
where the big craft will start daily, is
