IOWA CITIES MAY
have ROCK FREE:
THE ANAMoSA PRISON QUARRIEs
WILL FURNISH CRUSHED STONE
FOR IMPROVEMENTS.

Crushed rock for use in paving and
improvement of Iowa's roadways is
being distributed by the state from the
quarries at Anamosa, wherein convicts
are employed.
Letters have been sent to many OF
the cities of Iowa to the effect that
crushed rock will be furnished free of
charge from the state prison quarries
at Anamosa to cities who desire to use
the same for paving or road making.
The only expense to the city is that it
must pay the freight. 1t is believed
that many Iowa cities will take adj
vantage of this offer. which means the
saving of considerable expense, 1t is
the opinion of the board CT control
that Iowa's roads may be materially
benefited in many cases by the use OF
stone. The big prison quarries at Ana
mosa, apparently are large enough to
be of assistance to all cities of Iowa
who desire to use the product Of the
convict's labor.

JUNE a. is The
STATE FLAG DAY
GOV. B. r. CARROLL ISSUES PROC.
LAMATIoN CALLING FOR
RAISING OF EMBLEM.

Calling upon the people of Iowa to
observe June IA as state flag day,
Gov. B. F. Carroll has issued a procla-
nation, recommending that the Stars
and Stripes be unfurled from all pub
lie buildings, school houses, churches,
factories, stores and dwellings in hon
or of the day in 1777 when the con-
tinental congress adopted "Old Glory"
as the emblem of the United States,
The proclamation in full follows:
by the Governor-A Proclamation:
Love of country and loyalty to its in
situations are demonstrated in times
of war by an active devotion and serv-
ice to ones nation; in times of peace
they are eXemplified by stalwart cit
izenship and expression of patriotic
sentiment. In recognition of this
principle the attention of the people of
Iowa is called to the fact that upon
the 14th day of June, A. D. 1777, the
Continental congress, adopted as the
emblem of the struggling American
colonies the flag which we hail as the
Stars and Stripes. By peaceful con-
quest there has been added greater
grandeur to its azure field and, bath
ed in the blood of wars it has become
the inspiration for grander patriot
ism.
1T is therefore eminently proper
that we as a people should show re-
gard to our flag and love of our coun-
try by the commemoration of this one
hundred thirty-second birthday OF
old Glory and, in accordance with
custom, I, B. F. Carroll, governor of
Iowa, do hereby designate. Monday
June IA, A. D. 1909, as Flag day, and
heartily recommend that from ali pub
lie buildings, from school house and
church, factory, store and dwelling
the Stars and Stripes be unfurled and
| displayed and that the day be hail
ed with demonstrations Of patriotic
sentiment and appropriate ceremonies
Lessons of patriotism will be taught
by such observances. In the unfurl
ing of the national banner, the law
less will recognize the representation
of authority, the oppressed will see in
it the emblem of freedom and equality
and citizens with brave and Loyal
hearts will view it with that pride and
devotion which in themselves are in
spirations of greater service"

REV. DR.. EDWARD EvERiTT HALE
sUccUMRs AT ADVANCED AGE
AT HIS HOME IN RoxBURY,
MASS, EARLY TODAY.
WAS CHAPLAIN OF
SENATE FOR YEARS
DR.. HALE HAD NOT BEEN CON-
FINED TO BED, BUT HAD BEEN
UNDER CARE OF PHYSICIAN
FOR LAST FEW DAYS.

Boston, Mass. June 1O.-Rev. DR..
Edward Everett Hale, chaplain of the
United States senate since 1903. died
at his home in Roxbury today. The
news of the death of Dr. Hale shocked
Boston to an unusual degree because
comparatively few knew he was i'll.
A week ago he was present att the
celebration in honor of the Goth birth
day of Mrs. Julia Ward Howe, his
contemporary in many reform move
ments with which both had been iden-
titled for more than fifty years.
To his family it had been apparent
Tor some time that Dr. Hale's health
was failing. A few days ago heart
weakness was noticed and his condi-
ton became alarming. His great age,
81 years, initiated against him. He
had not been confined to bed at any
stage of his illness.
He retired at the usual time last
night, but the physician had noted
evidence that led him to warn the i'm
mediate members of the family that
the end was not far off. AS the night
passed DR.. Hale constantly became
weaker until the end came about 3
o'clock this morning.
a Sketch Of His Career
Edward Everett Hale, preacher.
publicist and man of letters, was born
in Boston, April 3, 1922. He was
educated at the Boston Latin school
and at Harvard university, graduating
from the last named institution in
1889. After course in theology he
became pastor of the Church of the
Unity at Worcester, where he re-
manned ten years. Then for forty
four years DR.. Hale was pastor of the
famous South Congregational Uni,
tarian) church of Boston. In 1900 he
retired from active pulpit work. hui
still retained a lively interest N
church affairs. In 1903 he was unanl,
mously chosen chaplain of the United
States senate.
DR.. Hale refused to be called a
clergymen. He preferred to be desig,
mated only as christian minister
He was a great lover of outdoor life
and to this he attributed, in great
part, to his splendid health in his old
age. Geology and botany were his
favorite amusements for years. His
perennial love for children and youtf
also helped to preserve him from the
rayages of old age.
Conspicuous in Reform Work.
The title of Professor of American
ism" to his generation has been aptl,
used in referring to DIR. Hale, and i
perhaps best describes his most con
soicuons efforts. His entire career
his hereditary influence and environ
ment and his natural inclinations anf
choice CT friends, all tended to make

fitted him to do for the American
public what he conceived his PRO
fessor Of America" as doing in col
lege-showing men that there as
such reality as American thought,
that there are certain principles which
belong to the American government
that there are certain feelings which
are experienced by none but an
American"
Dr. Hale was a conspicuous figure
in all kinds of reform and rescue
work, both in Boston, where he re-
sided, and in many other and distant
cities. With his flowing white hair
and beard he was familiar figure on
the streets of the Hub, where he was
known and beloved by young and old
in every class of life, from the poor
who received help from his hands, to
the rich who cultivated him and made
fad out of his many charitable
schemes.
From the time he received his first
license to preach Dr. Hale was con.
spicuous figure in all the most adj
yanced forward movements in charity
and education. He was closely idenri-
fed with the spread Of the chautauqua
circles and was promoter of the
chain Of LEND a Hand" club, which
now embraces practically the entire
country. Aside from his work as a
preacher and pastor, Dr. Hale, dur
ing the past quarter Of century,
found time to establish editorial con
nections with numerous literary
journals.
Noted as Writer.
In addition he was the writer Of
many books which were accepted as
the standards in their field. He was
perhaps best known to the general
public as the author of that American
classic. "The Man Without Country

pen were: Puritan Politics in Ems.
