Cook, they believe, really thought

Iowa State Fish and Game Pro-
tective association. Action IA
voring the revision was taken
by the association at a meeting
held in Dubuque on January 4
and 5, at which time the asso-
citation was organized. The
legislative committee of the as
|sociation has the matter of pre-
senting the draft of the pro-
posed revision to the legisla-
ture.
Ralph S. stanbery, an attor-
ney of Mason City, in behalf of
the committee, ascending circu-
lar letters to the newspapers of
the state, announcing the in
tention to ask the passage of
the proposed revision, and ask
ing that the matter be given
favorable publicity. Mr.. Stan
berry states that the primary
object is the protection, preser-
walton and propagation of fish
and game, a matter in which
he declares Iowa is less pro-
gressive than its neighbors.
Among the features of the
revision to which attention is
called is one requiring every
resident hunter to have a Ii
cense, and providing a license
fee of 81.
Other features of the law as
proposed which are attracting
attention here, are those pro-
hibiting taking fish from the
parts of the Missouri, Mississ-
ippi or other boundary rivers,
within the jurisdic .on of this
state" or inlets: bas BUS, lakes,
backwater or lakes of these
streams, without first obtaining
a license; the provision includ-
ing unnaturalized aliens, al
though actual residents, among
those who must procure nom
resident hunters licenses, and a
provision against selling, or
having in possession for sale,
any part of the plumage, skin
or body of any of the birds pro-
: tected by the section including
: wild birds.

Building Cabinets.

The friends of President elect
Taft are very busy selecting a
cabinet for the President. just
how we'll they will succeed as a
question for the future. The
Fourth of March will soon be
here, and then the people will
be able to determine how far
the friends of Mr.. Taft succeed
ed building his Cabinet. We
incline to the opinion that Mr..
Taft will, when the time comes,
make his own appointments;
like the man who was going to
build a new dwelling for him
self and family, called in his
neighbors to select the location
of the building. Each had his
say as to location, and then the
builder said: ''WelI, gentlemen,
here is the place | am going to
locate my house" He had de-
determined the location and en-
ly wished to know what they
thought Of his choice. So we
presume the President will Sc
lect his Cabinet, and while he
may desire to please his friends
in the selection of his political
advisors, he has, no doubt, de-
termined the Mocation." We
expect him to make such a Sc
lection as will bring success to
his administration and advance
the best interest Of the coun try

Valentine Day.
Sunday, February 18th 1909,
Valentine Day opened up with
rather a clustering morning,
and we fear it was a little too
cool for the usual efforts of the
young to awaken Cupid to do
duty as of old. 1t has long been
the custom of young people tc
make declarations Of love by a
Valentine intended to assist ir
forming life associations, anc
if yesterday was a little cold
Cupid's aim in a storm is just
as fatal as if discharge in the
brightest day.
In one hundred years from
now it will be interesting te
compare the character of the
ceremonies that took place il
the celebration of the Lincoln
centenary in 1909 with those
that will occur in 2009. Non
pareil.

Masquerade Party

The masquerade dancing
party given by the "girls" to
their gentlemen friends last
Saturday evening at Neufrds
Hall was a very decided success
in every particular The hall
was very prettilv decorated in
red paper, streamers were hung
in festoons around the walls
and little red hearts were dis
persed through the streamers.
In the northwest corner Of the
hall, a very attractive booth,
had been constructed which
was also decorated in hearts
and red paper. Paper shades
on the lights finished the deco
rations. The "girls" were all
dressed alike each ono wearing
a red empire gown and red cap.
The surprise can easily he
imagined when at eight-thirty
another delegation Of red en-
pire gowns and red caps came
lin, which proved to BE- the gen
tlemen dressed in the same
kind of costumes Of course
their gowns didn't fit as well or
hang as we'll as the ladies' but
they are certainly 10 be COM
mended on their sense of orig
inality. The "girls" costumes
were supposed to have been
kept secret but some little bird
evidently disclosed the fact,
with the above result. The
grand march began at ten
O'Clock and after the unmask-
ing it was discovered that
