l think Iowa has contributed more
people to the population of Los An
geles and its environs than any other
of the states. At a picnic Of the Iowa
society held a few days ago there were
more than 10000 former Iowans in
attendance and it is stated there are
over $4,000 people in this vicinity who
were former residents of the Hawk
eye state. The Iowa people maintain
a permanent organization here with
an office n IA secretary. Michigan
also numbers Il great colony of for
mer settlers n they held their picnic
the same day as the North Dakota re-
union. Mrs. Rose IIartwick Thorpe,
WHO wrote "CurfeW Shall Not Ring To-
night" a blessed reminder of old rho
torical days" in school. was present at
the Michigan reunion and read parts
of this rather celebrated poem. And
North Dakota, not to be outdone by
Michigan, had a poet to offer as we'll
and the laureate of the Ilickertail
state read the Letter Home" and an
other characteristic verse and the at
t%ention and enthusiasm indicated that
Michigan had nothing on North Da-
kota. The North Dakota society is
seven or eight fears old and has
grown from a few struggling visitors
to California to a society of seven or
eight hundred. which is full of en-
thusiasm for California and whole
some and kindly recollection of old
days in the Dakotas.
Senator Welo and family dropped in,
having reached here a week or so ago
on their way up the west coast and

time adjutant general of the state
militia. mayor of Bismarck and pos
SCISSOR of many civic distinctions, was
in attendance. but his health is not
especially good and he was unable to

TWO DAYS IN ONE.
February 70 and 20 Only Count a
Day in Maryland.

Baltimore Evening SUM-

NooISAAlAOIC GtCIIIlS SUlI.J
Did YOU ever know that just because
YOU live in Maryland, when you wake
up on the morning of February 20 you
are waking up on the day before? Or.
rather, that you arc waking up or the
same day that you did the day before?
Or that February IS and February 90
arc one and the same day?
Well. it's true, all Of it. Might sound
a little queer until you get used to 1t.
but. try as you will, there's no getting
around the fact that Maryland has hut
one day for February IS and 90. Some
other state has two days, but this
state has only one
The reason? It's easy: Way back
IN the year 1886, when Henry III was
king of England. they framed up a
and the same day. The old common
law of England is still i'm force in
MARYLAND, so there o are.
When q chap who happened to be
born on February 20 comes along and
tells You hat he has a birthday only
oncc every four years. why just laugh
Mt him. Tell him he doesn't know tho
law. The law says he was horn on
February IS. He might not know it,
but that wouldn't change the law.
And here's n tip. If YOU have a
pao.ilissoiA note coming due OH Feb
ruary %. why you don't have to pay
it until February 90. Same day, YOU
know. Lots Of funny things like that
can be done if you look into the law
books for tips" Just so there can't
be any dispute about 1t. here's the law
that made two days one day:

Kirkland isn't just exactly the cradle
OF Mormonism. Nor is it today a CEN
ter OF n kind of Mormonism that

seat OF his church in 1881 after there
had come to him near Palmyra, N. Y.
the revelations to the churches in
New York commanding them to move
to Ohio" The temple at Kirkland was
the first temple %pretentious enough to
be called such.
1t is a remarkable old building, a
marvel in Its workmanship. Joseph
smith himself helped quarry the stone
for Its foundations. Every member
of the colony contributed one seventh
OF his labor and labored so we'll that
today the temple. although dedicated
in 1884, is practically az good as new.
1t was in the day before planning
mills. and every stick of lumber that
went into the structure was hand
hewn. The great oak timbers that
support the floor, the big futed pil-
lars that run from basement to gar
ret and h carvings on the puipits
bear evidence Of being able to outiive
the churches made Of machine-made
lumber Of the present.
When Smith first went to Ohio he
settled at Hiram. The general store
he started there failed and he also
lost in land speculations. When he
decided to move to Kirkland he bought
three farms there at a cost Of $l1, 900.
They were to be turned into a perma-
nent city Of Zion, with thirty-two
streets. One who visits Kirkland to.
day wonders where the thirty-two
streets are, although It is a matter of
fact that Kirkland once had a popu.
lation of more than 5000.
The temple cost $40, 900. Smith al
SO established a church tannery and
a church sawmill. In an effort to
avert the financial disaster that the
debt Of $4,000 on the temple threat
cned he established the Kirkland
Safety Society bank. In 1897 he re-
organized 1t as the Kirkland Society
Anti-Banking company and issued

Tho Red Rose.
The Offering at the Metropolitan on
Monday, March IL, will be THE Red
acts. by Harry 3. and Robert B.
Smith. with music by Robert Hood
Bowers, which has made a sensational
hit in New York city at the Globe
theater. The production Is under the
personal direction Of John c. Fisher,
the noted producer Of "]Florodora' and
The Silver Slipper" and many other
Dig musical successes. The company
is unusually large and is said to in
GUIDE some stunning young women.
Ihere are twenty-eight musical num-
bers. with a variety Of popular song
hits and others OF greater musical
worth. From a scenic and costume
point of view THE Red Rose is said
to be a sensation. Money has been
spent galore. 1t is. in short. a dress
makers and milliner's delight. The
story tells the following tale: A young
american studying art, falls in love
with a model. Lola. His wealthy ia
ther objects to the marriage. Stormy
scenes follow. but in the end, Dick
Lorimer, the young American. obtains
some pictures taken by a moving pic
ture syndicate, showing the antics of
the father with a young art student.
This. coupled with the discovery that
Lola Is really a baron's daughter, en-
aDlcS Lorimer to overcome his ia
Tiers objections. and the last act ends
with a scene reminiscent of "sapho''
when the student carries his fancee
up a flight OF stairs and they waltz
away in true Niennese musical COM
edM style and are married.
