Gone on the day before the expiration

The real feature of this news incl

Des Moines, both in official circles
and on the part OF the men authorized

on the strict conformity to the law.

were interested insisted that not a

poned.
II was because of this firm insist
ence on the close observance OF every
feature of the Iowa law that the sa.
looms OF Des Moines have so long been
Iree from criticism. They are con.
Quoted by law abiding men and are
maintained in perfect condition and 40
as to avoid any possible scandals.
In the instance above referred to
the city council was criticised by a
lew thoughtless persons for having
held special meeting to make the
record clear. But il 1t had not kept
the record clear, and the fact had been
inadvertently discovered, there would
have been fine cry of alarm and the
matter would of course have been
made use OF for campaign purposes in
the coming city campaign.
The disposition to observe the let.
ter and the spirit of the Iowa law Is
now so common as to never excite
comment. But 1t also indicates that
the public has accepted the law as a
flnality.

ALL OBEY THE LAW
IN THE CAPITAL CITY

1t has been long time since any
one has heard of any trouble over the
conduct or management of the saloons
of Des Moines, the capital city of the
state. The only time anyone has taken
any interest in the matter was when
the mayor called special session of
the council one day to make haste in
complying with the legal formalities
in regard to one well konwn saloon.
which has been in operation many
years. The question of having the
record show renewal of consent had
been overlooked, hence the council
was called to fix 1t up, and this was

Securing Winter Eggs.

Summer Is the natural season pro.
vided by nature for reproduction Of
animals and vegetables, and II eggs
are to be obtained in winter, condi.
tions must be made as nearly like
those in summer as possible. The
houses should be warm; the food
green and good substitute for the
grasses and other tender summer
food. Turnips. cabbages potatoes,
carrots and winter cover crops are
ideal. Whenever possible, green pas.
turage should be provided. Meat
scraps, ground bone and other animal
matter is beneficial and supplies the
lack Of the insects of the warmer
months. Plenty Of good water and
lots Of exercise are also necessary,
and the laying pullets should be in
good condition.

TOO LAZY TO GROW COTTON
Attempt Of British Government to
Make Egypt Rival Of Southern
States Proves Failure.

The British government has failed in
its attempt to make Egypt q rival
OF our south in cotton growing A
. few years ago considerable uneaslness
was felt In this country lest the Brit.
ish would be able to develop the in.
dustry along the Nile to the extent
that 1t would hurt our cotton growing.
But after spending millions OF dollars
trrigating areas and In experimental
. work the crop last year was smaller
than the year before.
Laziness on the part Of the natives
is the principal cause. They will not
work but prefer to steal or beg for a
living. One enterprislng planter took
over large number OF our southern
negroes In the hope that they would
make ideal laborers on his cotton
plantations but In year or two they
got as lazy as the natives and also re.
fused to work.
In that country strip Of cotton is
all that q man needs In the way Of
clothing and as all he has to do to
secure his food is to steal a few ba.

MARKETING Of COTTON CROP
Committee Appointed BY Texas Cotton
Growers Association Makes prae-
tIcal Suggestions.

At the recent meeting Of the Farm.
ers' congress at College Station. a com.
mittee was appointed by the Texas
Cotton Growers association was ap-
pointed to study and make recon-
mendations as 10 what was best to be
done relative to the crop this year.
says CoOperator. This committee
met in Dallas and discussed cotton
growing. ginning. hauling, baling and
marketing. and with the view that
there might be system and co-opera-
ton In marketing issued under their
signatures the following recommenda-
tions to the public:
To the Cotton Planters Of Texas and
the Entire South: We, your commit
tee on best methods Of handling and
marketing the cotton crop. beg nov
to recommend:
l. That with the present prospects
OF short crop, no cotton be sold at
less than IL cents per pound. midd!ing
basis. interior common points. and
that the same be marketed at rate
Of not more than ten per cent per
month.
2. That we urge upon all the great
Importance of diversincations as the
greatest factor that will enable the
planter to control his cotton by living
at home. and to that end we urge the
planters to avail themselves Of the
education advantages Of all demon.
stration work carried on by the gov.
ernment.
3. That we indorse the idea Of ma
king cotton grading part Of our pub
lie school curriculum, more especially
In the rural districts. and appeal to
our state legislature to make provision
therefor.
4. We urge the proper warehousing
and care Of cotton. to the end that 1t
will become a safe and ready collateral
and urge the hearty cooperation Of
bankers and fnanciers In assisting
the planter to hold his cotton when so
desired. by making liberal advances
on same.
s. We deplore the slovenly manner
in which the present square bale. as a
rule. is prepared and sent to market,
and the gross extravaganza In and
careless handling Of same from the
ginner to the spinner. entailing need
less time and expense in shipping.
recompresslng. etc., and recommend
some package acceptable to the trade
that can be compressed at the gin and
go direct and rapidly from the gin
to the mill or the ships side.
6. We finally urge the planters to
cover their cotton entirely with heavy
bagging and keep same under shelter.
either on the farm at the gin or in
the cotton yard. in order to prevent
country damage. waste, etc.
We realize the consummation Of
the above suggestions to large ex.
tent depends upon the widest public
ity and we therefore request the press
of the south at large to give space to
same, and to our bankers. merchants,
business men generally and brother
farmers to give US their ablest counsel
and cooperation In the common cause
Of educating and upbuilding the agri.
cultural classes. the bulwark Of our
national prosperity. Respectfully sub
mitted,
