convention to order Saturday morning
and set forth briefly the aims and
plans of the organization. He said the
deep waterway work is now in this
condition:
/. The sanitary district of Chicago
has built the deep waterway, practi-
cally to Joliet, nearly 40 miles, and
$60,000,000 have been spent thus far

2. The entire route of the lakes-to-
the-gulf deep waterway from Joliet to
New Orleans, through the Des PLANES
river, the Illinois river and the Mis-
sissippi river, has been surveyed I'M
der direction of congress by United
States engineers, who have officially
reported to congress that the building
of the deep waterway is feasible.
3. The people of the state of ILL
nois have adopted a constitutional
amendment providing for bond is
sue of $20,000,000, the money to be
spent in constructing the deep water
way southwark from Joliet.
A. A bill introduced by United States
Representative Richard Bartholdt of
Missouri is now pending in congress,
providing for the issuance by the
United States government of bonds to
the amount of $500, 100000, the money
to be spent in constructing this deep
waterway from the lakes to the gulf
and other meritorfous projected river
improvements.
5. 1t is intended to ask the Sixty

IOWA APPLES FOR GERMANY

American apples are in great de
mand in Germany and Consul General
Robert p. Skinner, who represents the
United States government at Ham
burg, believes that this market could
be much enlarged bNa intelligent ef-
fort on the part of American packers
and shippers. Undoubtedly some Iowa
apples, especially those from the
Glenwood district, now find their way
to the German market, for apples
from the middle western states are in
high favor at Hamburg. where the
middle 1tern and eastern apples
are the only American fruit sold on
firm orders. The fruit from the far
western states and large quantities
from the eastern states are shipped to
Hamburg on consignment.
Hamburg Is the great fruit market
for continental Europe, two local
firms there receiving about two-thirds
Of the total apple importations for
Germany. These houses send their
own representatives to the United
States, who visit interior apple pack
ers, Inspect the new crops in storage
warehouses at the ports of shipment
and then give their orders.
A shipment of apples upon arrFal
at Hamburg is offered Immediately for
sale at auction. Before the sale be-
gins, an impartial sampler selects a
number of unopened barrels and
opens one-half of this number at the
top and the other half at the bottom
of the barrels. The bidders must &C
cept these sample barrels as repre-
senting the quality of the entire ship
ment, for he cannot demand the open
ing of other barrels. The sampler is
chosen by the fruit dealers and Is a
dealer himself. At regular intervals
he gives way to another appointee.
The buyers usually are wholesale
fruit dealers, who deliver the appl0s
in the consuming market, where they
are sold to greengrocers and to curb
stone dealers. Some curbstone deal
ers control a number of carts and oc-
casionally buy direct at the auctions.
American shippers not now in the
Hamburg trade can make arrange
ments with one of the auctioneering
firms there, who also are importers,
their addresses being obtainable from
the bureau of manufactures, depart
ment of commerce and labor, at Wash.
ington. Consul General Skinner be-
lieves that the European market for
American apples may be greatly in
creased by shipments direct to Den.
mark, Norway and Sweden, which
countries are now supplied by the
wholesale importers at Hamburg.
With nearly 100000 worth of ap.
Piles produced in Iowa every year, the
Hamburg market undoubtedly is well
worth being investigated by some of
the larger shippers in the Hawkeye
state.' The Germans are beginning to
know already that the best corn in the
world is produced In Iowa, and 1t may
be profitable to teach them that some
of the finest apples are grown in Iowa
orchards.

The mayors and health physicians
of Iowa have joined with the women's
world committee on legislation to sup
press the white slave traffic, and meas
ures were up before their convention
in Mason City, Ia. The discussion fol-
lowed an address by Clifford G. Roe
of Chicago, member of the committee
on legislation, and former assistant
states attorney. The subject was
presented on the stand that white
slavery is the most virulent menace
at large to the public health.

At the same time Mr.. Taft made it
plain that he would not stand for any

ULD TEMPERANCE SOCIETY

One of the Oldest temperance or
CARNATIONS in Iowa. II not actually the
oldest, is St. Mary's Roman Catholic
Total Abstinence society. which Is af-
filiated with St. Marys church of
Clinton, and which will celebrate its
fortieth anniversary this fall. Rega:sl-
ing the society and the great work II
is carrying on, member of the or
ganization furnishes the following n.
teresting communication:
This society will celebrate it's forti-
eth anniversary the coming fall and 1t
is the intention of the members to get
busy and try and have a larger mem
bership during the festival than has
ever before been on its rolls. Every
member gets a member" is the battle
cry, and when it is considered what
membership in st. Mary's Total Absti
nence society means it certainly seems
most laudable ambition.
The members are pledged to total
abstinence from all intoxicating drink,
even cider, and they are also pledged
to use their best endeavors to pro-
mote temperance by every means In
their power as well.
John Coleman Is president and has
the distinguished honor of having
been the first president elected at the
time the society was organized in
1869.
For 40 years st. Marys society has
preached sobriety. 1t has had from
one to two hundred men, citizens of
Clinton, on its rolls all those years.

ciety as boys and have grown to man.
hood free from the temptations that
beset the drinking man. It's members
are not to be found In the police
courts and the jail. Many of them are
prominent business men, or occupy
positions OF responsibility, and they
know and appreciate the great benefit
affiliation with this society brings to
its members.

line is bent every energy and no pains are
spared TO improve every year the training

farmers conference, with Its allied local
conferences and monthly farmers institutes
and the yearly short course for farmers

In the matter Of finances the report shows

SOme Things They DO Not Learn wen
An New York.
Once in a while a college professor shows
up the lamentable lack OF knowledge which
his pupils have in elementary subjects with
which, II would seem, they ought to be well
acquainted. Mrs. Florence Woolston, in the
october Survey, has gone back a little fur
ther and interviewed several hundred school
children who had left school to 60 to work.
1t seems as IL every child In New York
ought to know who is the mayor Of the
city. but in answer to this question ten had
correct replies, twenty-three were uneer-
tain and sixty-seven were entirely incorrect
in their idea. Those who were rated as cor
rect could name the mayor and indicate his
office. Such answers as HE takes charge
of the New York police force,'' He looks
out for the city" "He0ruies the boroughs,"
were classed as successful. Uncertain re-
plies were those who could nsme the mayor
but could not explain the office. He
looks out for auto speeding and the inter
est of the courts'' and He appoints po-
ntical Jobs" From those who failed to
answer the question correctly we have the
following; George washington is the
mayor of New York. and The mayor Is
John d. Rockefeller
The first question, who is our presi-
dent7" was by far the most successful. Only
five Of the 100 failed to answer correctly.
The fact that a change Of administration
occurred during the winter may have had
some influence. Campaign talk about Pres
ldent Taft probably made his name IA
miliar. There was no hesitation In naming
Teddy Roosevelt" With regard to the
work Of the president, there was less unan-
unity in the replies. II the idea Of national
leadership was expressed the answer was
regarded as correct. For instance, He
minds all the people was the quaint ex-
preston of a little girl who understood
from personal experience the responsibility
Of "mindlng'' others. HE keeps order In
the United States" Takes care of every.
thing" Looks out for the country" were
other expressions conveying the same idea
HE sees that all the books are straight
has the germ of an idea, but is a bit am.
biguous. An English girl insisted tina
Henry VII was the president. Anothei
gave the idea Of kingship In the words
HE sits In a chair" An echo of prosperity
d promises may be found in the reply, "Oh
yes, 1 know him. We all vote for him, anC
he makes everything grow, and that give
us plenty Of money and food to eat"
