a SUGGESTION.

To the Editor of The Gate City.
| believe it is the duty of every pat
lotto citizen to know the law and
obey 1t, and in order that all may be
informed fully of the workings of the
commission plan, suggest all take one
of the Des Moines daily papers and
follow the daily proceedings of the
city council and thereby become per-
sonally familiar with the practical
way to conduct our affairs under the
commission plan. The council is in
session each day and pass upon pub.
lie matters. Questions of government
and public policy arise each day that
are decided upon.
Now that we have adopted the plan,
let all choose the men favorable to
the plan, with ability to administer
the city affairs upon business prin.
ciples with charity for all and malics
toward none.

The national convention Of post

the club, which Is known as the jolly

5000.
Among. the chief questions watch
are to come before the convention
will be the stamping OF postcards and
the adoption OF some form OF cam.
paign to get the United States postal
authorities to stop running postcards
BY covering the entire car with an
ugly black seal and then trailing away
from the blot with d whole American
flag in black ink.
THE present method OF stamping
simply ruins many pretty cards" Mrs.
Johnson said The government can
well afford to make regulations for
its postcard patrons OF the mails,
Just Think "A letter Is carried for
cents. It weighs the same as six
post cards, for which we pay 6 cents
to send through the mails.
Another thing that we desire to
take up with the postal authorities
is the placing OF the stamp on either
side Of the card. Almost all of our
members in foreign countries desire
the stamp on the picture side Of the
card.

THE jolly Joker club we believe
IS the largest social organization In
the world. We have 5000 members
and they are found In every country
on the globe, a few small principali-
ties excepted. It Is incumbent on all
active members to send a postal card
in return for every card sent by an.
other club member =

 Exactly, Dad," affirmed Billy. Then, turning to his mother he dropped his voice to tender tones: And Mamsy, you'll get ready tomorrow to go to Aunt Grace's down South, where you will stay all winter. You won't cough down there. And Dad and I will look after each other while you are away. You know I have all my last months money in the savings bank.

How a Sculptor"
 Works.

good many people who have never A seen the inside of sculptor's studio ( \ suppose that he chips his statues out of blocks of marble. As matter of fact. the sculptor rarely works upon the marble except to give few finishing touches to his creation.
 He makes, to begin with, small model of his subject in wax. Then, if the com pleted work is to be of considerable size, an iron framework is constructed to sup port 1t. On this framework the sculp- tor builds up and fashions full-size copy in clay of his wax model. His work, generally speaking, ends here. The rest belongs to his assistants. who are skilled mechanics.
 The clay figure, when hard, is covered with plaster of paris. When the plaster has set, the clay is dug out and the hol- low plaster case remaining is used as model for casting plaster replica of the scuIptor's handiwork.
 This cast, in turn, is used either as a model for casting in. bronze. or as model for copying in marble. The copying process is purely mechanical, though 1t requires great skill and care. It Is done by taking a great multitude of measure ments from the plaster and drilling holes to the required depth in the block Of marble. The marble Is then clipped away to the depth of the drill holes, and the carver proceeds to copy the details of the work from the original. under the supervision of the sculptor.

trude and Fred were sent to the Big Town to further their education.
 And that left Little Boy Brown the only child on the farm. Not that he ever thought of Big Sister and Big Brother as they were quite as big and smart as papa and mamma. But they often condescend- ed to come down from their high dig nifty and play with Baby Brother. So when they went away from home to at tend the High School Little Boy Brown felt very, very lonely. And then came his great desire to see the Big Town and the High School. the latter place mys- tery in the mind of Little Boy Brown. Owing to it's being called the High School" Little Boy Brown supposed it was a house in the air somehow. high above the other houses. Just how 1t was held thus suspended In midair Little Boy Brown had no idea. That was the mys- tery, you see, that he had to solve. And 1t could not be solved till Little Boy Brown visited the Big Town and the High School. Then he would know All this was in Little Boy Browns mind as he sat by the window one delightful Janu- ary day. Although the weather was pret- >ty cold. the sun shone gloriously bright and to Little Boy Brown, who sat in warm room, the day seemed to be almost summer.
