Des Moines, Feb. 2s.-Commission
men of Iowa handling butter and eggs
have decided that they will not join in
the effort to scare the people half to
death over the prospect OF competition
with the Winnipeg butter and egg mar
ket They held a convention in Des
Moines last week and discussed this
among other questions. and decided
that as a matter of fact that prices
have been maintained higher than war
ranted and that no matter what may
happen the country is due for lower
price era on butter and eggs. In order
10 get down to a proper basis the COM
mission men will do what they can TO
gradually reduce the prices 10 a safe
basis.
The Iowa commission men approved
the bill which will require that all eggs
sold for food shall be candled by the
merchant and fixing a standard OF
quality, so that bad eggs will not be
worked off on the consuming PUBIC.
The bill probably will be passed at an
early day.
/ They also approved of a plan where
4 by government inspectors are TO De
placed at condensories where cream
and eggs are put up in condensed FORM
and to provide a certificate from the
inspector which is to prevent any In
reference on the part of the local au-
,thorities.
There probably will not be very much
resistance locally to the plan to have
tho state monument to the soldiers and
sailors removed to the grounds of the
state soldiers home and re-erected
there. Dies Moines has never taken
livery much interest in this monument
land everybody recognizes that 1t should
HE removed from Its present location TO
lone where more people can see 1t. The
river front location in Des Moines Is
mot an especially good one. tho much
Ebetter than the present location on the
vacant lots back of the state house. Be-
Jsfdes IL the Allison monument is con-
structed It will be located on the
lGround where the soldiers monument
might be placed.
1 The total number of automobile
numbers given out from the office OF
lsecretary of state is now over $4,000
and the number of applications is on
the increase RAPIDLY.

For the first time in the history of the
state the legislature made no provision
for visiting committee to go to the
state institutions during the recess.
The house passed resolution authoriz-
ing the speaker and president to des-
ignato from the special committee on
board Of control subcommittee to
visit the institutions. but the senate
merely sent it to the committee with
out action. However, several mem
bers Of the committee. who are also on
the appropriations committees. volun-
.teered to go to some Of the institutions
and will do so this week, in order that
they may be better informed as to the
needs Of these institutions. The COM
i.nittee on educational institutions will
visit the three state colleges during
the week but that is a different pro-
,osal.
vil,,re is no doubt that DR.. Bowman

opinion is that the doctor maCsus Oh

newspaper men of Des Moines TO
having given him the opportunity t
appear before a fine and appreciativ
audience under the very best auspice
