Welcome BY Mayor Redington.

Welcome BY Mayor Redington.
| Hon. Frank Redington, mayor of the
city, extended a cordial greeting to the
Federation as follows:
Madam President, Members of the
Womens Clubs Federation of the
State of Maine, Invited Guests and
Friends:
/ am asked to extend a welcome to
you as an organized body, and it is an
honor to have the privilege of so do
ing. I trust 1 may be allowed little
latitude and divergence from ny sub
ject, provided | do not transgress any
rules of the society or trespass upon
your time.
A mere welcome to our beautiful
city. expressed in formal diction, ex-
tended to any organization is getting
to be a trite function. This city has
os many of these formal greetings
that a regular formula might be
adopted and repeated through the
agency of a photograph. You know
we consider our city the convention
city of the State; it's central loca ton,
it's easy cans of access, the portals of
ingress and egress with their converg-
ing lines of railway contering within
our borders, make us the Mecca for
many convention whose desires are
readily reached and whose beneficial
objects are gladly fostered by our 10y
al citizens.
1t is said 'the hand that rocks the
cradle rules the world" and should the
same hand bear the ballot, proclaim the
criminal code, construe the law and
medicine to the mind diseased, it
would vertically decide the fate of ma
lions.
1t is of little moment that T should tell
you of your combined intelligence. as

Care In Preparing Food.

In recent years scientists have
proved that the value of food is meas
ured largely by its purity; the re-
suit is the most stringent pure food
laws that have ever Been known.
One food that has stood out promi-
nently as perfectly clean and pure
food and which was as pure before
the enactment of these laws as 1t
could possibly be is Quaker Oats;
concededSty the experts to be the ideal
food to- making strength of muscle
and bSain. The best and cheapest Of
all yfbods. The Quaker Oats Company
ID the only manufacturer of oatmeal
,that has satisfactorily solved the prob
lem of removing the husks and black
specks which are SO annoying when
other brands are eaten. If you are
convenient to the store buy the reg
ular size packages; If not near the
store. buy the large size family pack.

Iowa Crop Bulletin.
Condition In State As Cleaned BY
Weather Bureau Correspondents.

Des Moines, Sept. 21.-The past
week has been favorable for farm
work and the ripening of the belated
corn, although the first two or three
days were cool, cloudy and wet. The
average temperature was, however,
above the normal, the latter half OF
the week being warm and pleasant.
The rinfall was copious in all parts
of the state, and in many localities
the amounts ranged from two to over
three inches. Severe wind storms &C
companied the rain on the evening
of the 18th and did considerable dam
age to the corn, especially in north
srn. western and southwestern coun-
ties. The corn stalks in many fields
were broken or uprooted, but for the
state at large the crop has made sat
isfactory advance toward maturity
and fully so per cent of it is now be
yond danger of an ordinary heavy
frost The late corn will require
from ten days to two weeks OF warm
| dry weather to mature, and as usual
| small percentage of the crop viii
need until the middle OF October
Considerable corn has been cut ant
shocked or put in silos. The. rain
have softened the ground which is nov
in excellent condition for plowinI
and seeding winter grains, and thi
| work has progressed rapidly durin
the past four or five days. Some GLOW
er has been cut for seed in the south
ern counties.

Circus Struck a Snaq.

The Yankee Robinson circus struck
snag at Rock Rapids and % of the
circus crew were arrested and put in
Jail until the city license of 1925 was
paid. 1t seems the county fair opened
there that day and the fair did not
want the circus to come in, but there
was no way to stop them and the city
soaked them the limit on the license
