Contests for senatorship in Iowa.

DR.. Dan E. Clark, who is prepar-
ing history of senatorial elections in
Iowa for the State Historical society
of Iowa, finds that the we'll remember
ed contests for the United States SEN
Iatorship within the past decade are by
no means the only interesting contests
of their kind in Iowa history For in
stance, for two years after Iowa was
admitted into the union in 1916 the
state had no representatives in the up
per house of congress, because of a
long deadlock in the Iowa legislature
Again, the election of James Harlan
in 1855 was characterized by intense
excitement and was followed by con-
tested election case in the United
States senate which was scarcely less
exciting. The defeat of James Harlan
by William B. Allison in 1872 was like.

The department of agriculture has

wardness of this country as produc-
er of the particular kind of crops that
20 to the making of perfumes, says
the Washington Post. Swift in the
development of other industries, we
have been extremely neglectful OF our
opportunities in this particular, since,
it is claimed, we can raise in one
part of the United States or another
all of the plants needful for an innum-
cradle variety of sweet odors, from
ylang-ylang to attor of roses. This
information doubtless is intended to
serve as timely spur to our indus
trial and commercial lethargy. And
vet the news fails to carry with it any
great sense of shame. 1t is difficult
to assign the reason why the posi-
bilities thus pointed out produce little
or no enthusiasm, yet such is the
case. 1t must be because the making
|of perfumes is not pre-eminently an
indication of national vigor or great
mess. Certain it is that their unlver-
sal use by a people is not a sign OF
virility. Weak and effeminate nations
have been given proverbially to the
use of unguents and Olntments,
whereas soap and civilization nave
been inseparably conjoined. SO long
as we lead in soap, it matters little
who manufactures the aromatics. A
good bath is better than much volatile
oils, while civet and musk may COW
cover multitude of SINS especially
those of omission.

Olive Oil for Leather.

Leather furniture, especially when
placed near the register, is liable to
dry and crack. An excellent method
of keeping it from looking old and
showing cracks is to go over the leath
er with a soft rag dipped in olive oil
and then going over the whole surface
again with a dry rag. 1t is not neces
sary to go over the leather more thar
once in three or four months, just
enough to keep it soft.

There was time when Indian manu-

required, which was used in the form
of molasses, but taste for refined
sugar sprang up, since which time it
was found more convenient to import
than to manufacture.
