And the days are growing long,
When the ball park is the mecca
OF vast perspiring throng-
And tanning bee is building
On each corner in the land,
And the baseball dope's the feature
OF the news on every hand
When the Office boys relations
Pass away most every day,
And we feel ourselves longing
For ball game every day
Though our years may number many
And our lives begin to pail,
It makes us all feel younger
When it's time for playing ball.

They expect 100 or more to be in at

made for many and varied sports, con-
tests for prizes, etc. Among the lat
ter will be a log rolling contest on the
lake, by old river raftsmen. On April
10, they offer a prize of SIS for the most
successful pair of fishermen. There
will also be second and third prizes in
this contest, the fishermen to go two
in a boat, returning at a certain time.
Much has been said about the fish
leaving the lake by way Of the outlet,
and of their slaughter by shooting. 1t
is possible that some fish have been
shot, and that some have got out by
way Of the outlet, but deputy game
wardens have failed to find any evil
dence that illegal fishing is being done,
or that any considerable number of
fish get out Of the lake, in any man

Northwood, April 1.-THE lawyers
and court officers have given up all
hope of finishing the Mcnamara case
before some time next week. Attorneys
for the defense said Saturday evening
that their evidence can not all be
placed before the jury before some
time Wednesday. The state, it is un-
derstood, will have many witnesses on
rebuttal, so the evidence can hardly
be concluded this week Three days is
a low estimate on the time necessary
for argument, and the giving of the
courts instructions.
During Gershom II. Hills long
cross examination lie stated that
newspaper reporters We're subject to
pipe dreams" and took the attitude
that when authorities upon diseases of
the mind disagreed with him, he fol-
lowed his own judgment in treat
ment of his patients. The state dealt
mostly with the general phases and
symptoms of the case shown in the
hypothetical question. The witness
comment upon newspaper reporters
came up while he was telling the jury
of Martin McNamara's affirmed desire
to do away with his wife in order to
marry another woman. The doctor
called this a delusion of Eds mind.
The county attorney inquired if there
We're many such cases reported and he
| retorted that most of them We're fabri-
| cations on the part of reporters.
Had to Back Up.
All the forenoon, Mr.. Kepler went
on the theory that Dr. Hill had dag
! nosed Eds case yesterday as dementia
precoX, and questioned him on that
| theory, but almost at the close of the
question he put the question to him
and the doctor said that he had not
called the trouble' that. but merely
compared Eds case with it. The record
showed that he had answered it in
that way. DIR. Hill says it would be
absurd to try to place a man who
never had a normal mind in any par
ticular class of insanity, other than
imbecility. He merely says that Ed is
a high grade imbecile, and has severa
decisions.
1t is not thought that the trial car
be finished this week, altho the time
allotted to this county for this term ex-
pires, and the Winnebago county worl
must be delayed until it is finished.

Waterloo, April 1.-THE Iowa State
Dairy Association is already laying
plans for Immediately commencing the
educational campaign for which pro-
vision has been made by the recent
state appropriation.
Prof. George L. Mckay, formerly
of the Iowa dairy school at Ames,
has volunteered to come into Iowa
and give free a month or more of
his time assisting in the institute and
other educational work that will be
started. The American Association
of Creamery Butter Manufacturers,
who have recently employed Prof.
John Bower of Ames, have sent word
that they will be glad to loan Mr..
Bower for this work for few weeks.

who owns the champion Holstein COW
of the world, has assured his friend,

Charles L. Hill, of Rosendale, Wis,
who is said to own more advanced
registered Guernsey cattle than any
other man in the country, thru the
influence of w. w. Marsh, of Water
loo, has also consented to appear at a
number Of the dairy Institutes.
Representatives of the Jersey and
other dairy breeds are taking hold Of
the matter
These are very busy as we'll as very
practical men and their services could
not be commanded for ordinary in
stitute work at any price. But, rec
ognizing the great need of work of
this character in Iowa and the re-
markable enterprise of the Iowa
State Dairy Association and the leg
islature of the state of Iowa, who
have given them financial aid, they
will gladly offer their services free to
forward this great work.
1t has only been a few days since
the legislature granted the $4,000
appropriation for educational work in
dairying, but already applications for
| Institutes and dairy assistance have
begun to come in. It looks as if ii
will hardly be possible to hold meet
ings in half as many places as will
want them.
A meeting will be held in weel
or two to definitely outline and plar
for what everybody believes will be
the greatest campaign in dairy Worl
ever inaugurated by any state.
The $1,000 purse for determining
who has the best dairy COW in Iowa
is attracting wonderful amount Of
