INSURGENTS SELECT NEAL.

The Burlington Hawk-Eye reports
that Colonel S. w. Brookhart, the
militant Republican insurgent leader
of the First Iowa district, and some
twenty other fellowinsurgents from
various parts of the district met in
that city Friday evening last and Sc
lected State Senator 8. w. Neal OF
Washington county as candidate for
congress to contest the primaries IN
June against Congressman Kennedy,
who already has announced his candi-
dacy for denomination. Some OF the
details of the meeting are given as
follows:
The conference was called by
Colonel Brookhart, and he was its
guiding star. 1t has become necessary
to seek new man to lead the insurg-
emit forces of the district through the
withdrawal of the candidacy of Cliff
ford Thorne, announced in the news
columns of Yesterday mornings
Hawk-Eye. The insurgents considered
the matter last evening and without
much hesitation centered upon Sena-
tor Neal.
Colonel prookhart, in an interview
after the inference last evening,
said: We will make vigorous cam
pa.en in every part of the district for
Sena.s.r Neai w. arc going to SKID
up Mr.. Kennedy without doubt.
Mr.. Neal is member of the upper
house Of the state legislature. repre-
senting the Henry Washington sena'
torial district.
It will be recalled that Colonel
prookhart made the same prediction
with equal confidence and emphasis
when he was the candidate against
Mr.. Kennedy ii the primary two
wears ago. Senator Neal is an estim
able gentleman personally. but II
would be an impeachment OF Colone
Brookhart's popularity to concede
that Mr.. Neal will be able to make
much better showing at the polls
than his predecessor in the race was
able to do. One thing is certain: MT
Kennedy is stronger with the voters
of the district than ever before ane
merits denomination by an increased
majority.

One of the features of the clean
up movement gaining such Roadway
throughout the country is an appeal
against throwing waste paper and 9th
or substances into the street. No
LEGALITY is exempt from this evil.
Crumpled colored supplements. torn
letters and tattered wrappers help to
make up the unsightly litter and to
deface surroundings which otherwise
would be attractive. From all di
rections come similar statements, and
good citizens are uniting in efforts at
reform. This is an important part OF
municipal housecleaning. and shoult
have due consideration. It is quite as
desirable to keep city clean as it il
to make it so in the first instance.

The Iowa stock food case is before

an early decision is anticipated. I'm
der the law now on the books the
state food and dairy department has
collected about $4,000 from makers

licenses on the business. The license
is for the companies that make the

Spring.


The springtinie now is on us,
The hillside flowers are white.
Our windows all are opened
Clear up, most ey'ry night.
We wake and hear the robin
At the coming of the dawn;
Electric fans we order,
For summers coming on.
The poets all are busy
They write about the spring.
In fact, at good space rating.
They'd howl at anything.
The whip-poor-wil Is busy,
The owl will do his best;
And, with the call of summer.
The bat will leave his nest.
Grasshoppers soon will hop on,
Mosquitoes do the same.
If chiggers start an itching
The beasts are not to blame.
The acorns now are sprouting,
The cherry flowers are white,
A comfort isn't comfort
When over us at night.
a.
We love the summer picnic,
Twill soon be here again;
We like to hear the frolic
OF women and of men.
We welcome little schiggers
Those jolly little elves,
And then go home in darkness
And sit and scratch ourselves.
In fact we welcome summer;
We'd welcome anything,
If 1t could last forever
No SHOWS or winter bring!
oh, summer, lovely summer,
! Though you be bloomin' hot,
Well sit and kick about you
And swear, as like as not.
