Heidelberg as the attraction to follow
Peter Pam at the Belasco Theater the
week Of May 20. The play holds a
wonderful record Of success In Europe

of the most sympathetic parts in his
repertoire. Aubrey Boucicault also ap-
peared in the comedy and 1t was given

pie. The scenes at the German univer-

SECRETARY SIMPSONS VIEWS.

In his annual report to the State
Agricultural Society, Secretary John
c. Simpson declares for an appro-
priation for good roads and the crea.
ton of state publicity and immi-
grafton bureau as means of promot-
ing Iowa's interests. In Mr.. Simp-
sons view, the reason Iowa is losing
population is because it is too pros
porous. Farmers have been seeking
for investment of surplus money. A
farmer buys his neighbor's land and
adds it to his own farm, his neighbor
emigrating to some western state,
where he can purchase cheaper land.
Farm lands are still increasing in val
ne from year to year, the advance
never being more marked than with
in the past twelve months. In speak
ing of good roads Mr.. Simpson says:
you cannot expect better results
in your roads by volunteer labor. A
permanent road, as | look upon it, is
not necessarily built of macadam or
brick, but a piece of road that has
been constructed only after proper
plans have been made by a cOmpe-

GIFTS TO COLLEGES

Samuel and Huldah Enlow, (the
former now deceased) have been
among the staunchest friends and
most generous supporters of Penn
College. Samuel Enlow was infiuen'
tial in starting an endowment for
Penn College number of years ago,
giving literally to this enterprise.
Huldah Enlow has made several gen.
erous donations to Penn College in
recent years, contributing literally
to the gymnasium building. Toward
the s100,000.O0 additional endow
ment now being raised she has con-
tributed $1,000.
"How much more satisfactory it
must be-" says Western Work, ito
give literally while living to a good
cause and thus have the indescrib-
able pleasure of seeing the results
during life. This 100000 gift of HUI
da Elbows has provided for all time
to come for Penn College to receive
an annual income of $4,000. The
principle is endowment and cannot
be dissipated."
There are many elderly Friends in
