Grange Wants Good Roads.

In his address at the annual meet
ing n. j. Bachelor, president of the
National Grange, made the following
recommendations regarding good
roads:
The action of congress at the re-
cent special session in adopting a tax
on corporations as part of our feder-
al revenue system and the proposals
OF federal inheritance and income
taxes furnish an unanswerable argu-
ment in favor Of national aid for
road building.
"If the federal government is to in
wade the taxing sphere of the states,
and thus deprive the latter of part
of the sources of revenue on which
they rely for road improvement funds
congress cannot consistently refuse
to make appropriations out of the
money raised by just such taxes for
aiding the states in carrying out their
plans for improved roads,"

GREAT DAIRY STATE
State Commissioner Wright Com
pletes Annual Report.
GROWN BYLEAPS AND BOUNDS
over a Hundred Million Pounds Of
Butter Were Made in Iowa Dur
ing the Past Yesr--Over
500 Creameries.

Des Moines, Nov. 27.-The dairy
business in Iowa from Nov. /, 1868.
to Nov. 1, 1909, has developed with
leaps and bounds, according to the
annual report of State Food and Dairy
Commissioner III. r. Wright.
An awakened interest in the dairy
business, better creameries favor
able rates, and more care in the Sc
lection and breeding of cows is Civ
en- as the reason for the big increase.
The report shows that during the
year 542 creameries and skim sta
tons made 1O1 907,316 pounds of but
ter, consuming in the making 413,000,-
600 pounds of milk and 279,0O0,000
pounds of cream. 1t is estimated that
100000 pounds Of butter were made
from milk alone and that 83 100000
pounds were made solely from cream.
or all the butter produced by the
creameries it is estimated that TO-
3S0,497 pounds were consumed at
home while 9O,000,OO0 pounds were
shipped beyond the state.
The total expenses of the state de-
partment for the year is given as
$6,571.45, which does not include the
salary Of the commissioner, his de-
puties, nor clerks. 1t includes, how
ever, 81 500 paid out to milk inspect
ors in fourteen cities who inspected
the milk furnished the people by 1l49
dealers.
The report barely touches on the
cheese business in Iowa. 1t is stat
ed that the production of cheese is
small and that there is no prospect
for 1t to become larger in the future.
The report of Commissioner Wright
is exhaustive and covers completely
the work of the department for the
year, in addition to a discussion OF
various questions pertaining to the
dairy business.

Friday, November 9Th, when q pack

The recovery of the lost package
was as strange as its disappearance
The Schuyler pouch is picked up

catcher as the train passes This
pouch catcher is attached to the mail
car and hooks onto the pouch sas-
pended from the crane as the train
passes. In this particular instance
the pouch catcher did not make a
good catch and the pouch fell under
the wheels of the train and was cut
In two. The mail was scattered along
the track for considerable distance.
but the five registered letters, which
were in packet, could not be found
when the other mail was picked I'D.
The impression at once prevailed that
the registered package had been found
and kept by some one and Il was re-
ported as lost.
Postoffice Inspector L. A. Thomp-
son was started out to investigate. His
first visit was to Council Bluffs to
make inquiries Of the postal clerks
on the car, and scarcely had he
reached there when he received word.
that the registered package had BEEN
found by the car cleaner resting snug
ly on the trucks under the dining
car, where 1t had been blown or
thrown when the mail pouch was
flung under the wheels at Schuyler.
That the package was not injured
IN the slightest. nor Jared from its
position on the trucks, is simply an
other tribute to the Union Paciic's
unsurpassed roadbed and perfect track.

ground in the border states and else

DANGEROUSLY sought at the leading mule
markets at stiff prices. But this type
cannot be produced without big mares.
No matter how big jack may be. be

are capable of notable results In In
creasing the size of mules. but they
are much handicapped by the want of
