DES MONIES, Iowa, March 25.-
The public hearing before the senate
committee on constitutional amend
ment this afternoon attracted an aud
lence Of couple of thousand which
packed the senate chamber to the
limit. The discussion, though sup
posed to be confined to the resolution
for prohibition amendment to the
constitution, took a wide range and
covered the whole field of temperance
legislation. The opponents Of the
amendment were given an hour and a
half and the friends of the measure
were supposed to close in half hour,
but they took nearly as much time as
the other side. The speakers for the
vets were Rev. lather Nugent of
this city, Judge Wade Of Iowa City C.
H. Morlin and Lamont Cowles Bur
lington. The "drys" were represent
ed by President Barber Of the anti
saloon league, President White OF the
Mine workers, union, Rev. Dir. Smith
Oh Iuscatine and Mrs Lillian n. Stew.
ems Of Chicago. national president of
| the c. T. U.
A large delegation of business men
! from many leading cities of the state
were present in opposition to the
amendment. Mayor Schunck of Du.
buque and Mayor Sears of Sioux City
headed large delegations from their
respective localities, while Davenport,
C.-nton, Burlington, Keokuk, Iowa
.-.y and other points were represent
ed. 20 Offset this the w. C. 7. U.
ard other temperance organizations
OF Des Moines were drawn upon, so
that the audience was fairly repre-
sentative one of both factions.
The speakers opposing the amend.
ment recited the Intellectual attempts
made to enforce prohibition before
and urged that the law remain as 1t is
thus affording them an opportunity
1 to regulate the traffic in cities
/ where public sentiment opposes pro
hibition.
The speaker who urged the passage
of the resubmission resolution did sc
largely on the ground that the pee. lie
should have the right to vote upon the
subject. At one time during ,he argu
ment of Judge Wade In opposition te
the resolution statement which he
made was roundly hissed. At this
Senator Gillilland sprang to his fee
and declared: II am member o
this committee but / do not propose
to be instructed in my duty by an.
kissing which takes place in this hall
Let the temperance people of lows
show that they can be temperate.
Judge Wade took the kissing yer.
calmly, remarking that it was simpl.
an evidence Of the truth of the state
ment he had before made that whel
the blood was hot neither side coul'
give dispassionate hearing to th'
other.
No action was taken by the commit
tee and it will probably be some tim
before a vote is reached In the com
mittee room on the resolution.

and passed the bill by Dodds providing

Characteristics Required to Make q

wood of North Hannibal IN. Y.) grange
The master of grange should feel
TIE responsibility of his position.
While he should not think he is the
whole grange. yet he will certainly be
held responsible for decline in interest
or in membership. and if so the rule Of
fair play should entitle him to credit
If the grange is successful
First Although the grange is a
school, it cannot be governed by fixed
rules. 1t has been my experience that
1t Is not always best to call to order at
a stated time, but to be governed by
the number present. and at the same
time do not delay the meeting too long
SO as to tire those present.
Second.-The master should be rea-
sonably familiar with parlia mentary
rules
Third.-He should be prompt and
fair with his decisions and courteous
to ALL
Fourth.--Owing to the prominent
part which he is of necessity compel
led to take in all meetings he should
be quick to think and act and also
very brief so as to avoid the possibility
Of becoming tiresome.
Fifth.-In comforting the degrees the
master should use all the means at his
command to make the ceremony Of in
terest to those who are already mem
bers for in some instances members
the degrees are given. He should
make himself perfectly familiar with
the unwritten work that he may be
able to impress it on the minds of the
candidates in a clear and interesting
manner.
Sixth.-I wish to make this particu-
larry clear The master should consider
himself the host for the evening and
make all feel at home and that he is
pleased to see them present. This can
be done by taking pains to speak to all
either before grange or at some of the
intermissions and especially to those
who are new members or not regular
in attendance.
Seventh.-The master should carry
out as far as possible in his daily life
the noble teachings of our Order as
laid down in the ritual that the fnfu-
ence Of the grange may be felt for tbr
good of the community. By Increasing
the influence of the Order we will in
duce others to join with US in the
spirit of fraternity which is spreading
over the entire state and the United
States as we'll

How to Dress to Look Smart.

If you would look smart, above all
things be neat in the small appoint
ments Of your dress. Have one gown
if need be, but have good gloves and
good shoes and scrupulously clean
linen. See to it that the heels of your
boots are not run over at one side or
the other, that your shoe laces are not
knotted and worn, that the buttons are
all in place on your high shoes, which
should be carefully brushed each night
or morning If your skirt needs re-
binding or pressing, have this done at
once. Do not trust to it escaping no.
tice. 1t is observed on occasions when
you think least of it. Another point
often neglected is the juncture of waist
and skirt. See that your belt meets
exactly in front and is either buckled
or pinned securely. Have your blouse
and skirt fastened firmly together in
the back, neither above nor below the
belt line, and be sure that your belt is
wide enough to cover this line. Do
not have a jagged row of pin points in
evidence nor the almost inevitable
safety pin. .s.s4s-s

How to Make a Refrigerator.
srsNm

For a homemade refrigerator take
two large wooden boxes, the second
one about two inches smaller on all
sides. Bore a one inch hole in both,
correspondingly to give drainage and
ventilation. Fill up the space under
the boxes with powdered charcoal or
coal ashes. Put the inner box in
place and fill up all the space with the
same. Fix on the lids to both boxes
to fit tightly with iron hinges. Leath-
er ones can be substituted. Fasten
with straps of leather as lock and
key. Put shelves on each side of the
inner box, using cleats. Leave place
in center for the ice. A zinc lining or
one of felt would improve the inner
box. A rack made of lathing can be
laid at the bottom for the ice to rest
on. Legs can be added to the outer
box by putting pieces of wood at each
corner. and the drainage and ventila-
ton will be improved.

CAPE OF INJURED TREES.
How 10 Treat Those With Torn Bark
or Broken Limbs.

How 10 Treat Those With Torn Bark
or Broken Limbs.
Nothing is more common in suburbs
and cities than injuries inflicted on
street trees by horses and vehicles.
Very often immense sections of bark
are torn from the tree. exposing the
white wood beneath, and most persons
feel discouraged by the extent of the
wound and give the tree up.
Now, however serious a wound may
be, a tree is not injured beyond hope
so long as it is not completely girdled
so long as the bark has not been
torn off so that there is absolutely
none left in belt around the tree.
AS soon as tree has been injured
the torn bark should be forced back
into place if possible 1t is true that
it does not often grow on again, but it
does sometimes, and, at any rate, it
acts as a protection for the wound,
just as piece of skin does when
drawn back over the wound. After
the bark has been tightly drawn into
place the whole area of the injury
must be thickly covered with tree
wax, pitch, tar or thick paint. If there
is no bark, the procedure is the same.
The entire wound must be painted so
thoroughly that the outer air cannot
possibly get at it. If there is hole in
the tree, 1t should be completely plug
ged with melted rosin, wax. tar or any
thing else of that nature.
Whenever a tree is broken the ruin
ed limbs should be cut as smoothly as
a surgeon would cut a human limb,
and the freshly cut place should be
covered, as said before
