Not Exactly.

A lady teacher in South London
council school was recently giving a
natural history lesson to a junior
class. In the course Of 1t she gave
some information about the heron,
and at the end she asked the children.
as a simple home lesson, to write
down what they knew of the bird.
Only one member of her class, she
says, was able apparently to set down
her ideas in writing, for next morning
only one essay was handed in.
And this one essay, written by a
little girl, read: Dear Teacher: A
heron is bloatsr."

Beef cattle are comparatively
scarce in Iowa, now, as is the case
throughout the entire country but the
Hawkeye state has more beef cattle
than all of the North Atlantic states
combined. She now has over S6,000,-

Horses in Iowa are averaging now

$4,000 per head while the ten year

IOWA LEADS IN LIVE
STOCK SUPREMACY
Hawkeye State Leads All Others In
Number and Value of Her
Farm Animals.
Especial to The Gate City.l

DIES MONIES, Iowa, March In
this time of high prices for live
stock, Iowas supremacy in the live
stock field is more marked than ever
before. The Hawkeye state leads all
other states in the number and value
of her farm animals. The figures up
to January /, 1913, have Jus. been
announced by the United States de-
partment of agriculture.
The total value of Iowa i've stock
January /, 1913 was ,93,4s2.O 600. The
state exceeds her next nearest CON-
petitor, Illinois, in the value Of her
live stock by s55,492,00o.
Iowa leads all of her sister states
in the value of her horses and also
IN the value of her swine She Is
first In beef cattle with the exception
OF Texas. She leads all of the corn
belt states in sheep but does not
have the sheep that many of the far
western states show. In all lines OF
live stock, however, she is so strong
that the sum total surpasses that OF
| any Otner stdle III une UNION.
All of the swine in twenty-eight
states of the union do no. equal in
value those Of the state of Iowa. The
territory which includes all of the
North Atlantic states, all of the South
Atlantic states and all of the far
western states has swine to the value
of s101, sS4, 900, while the swine OF
Iowa are valued at s104,640.O0o. In

Viii Follow Out Plan for Sale Of
Clothing Which Proved
Successful at
Christmas.
USE BENEVOLENT HOME
Central Point is Selected for Distri-
button and Contributions
Are Asked
For.

Following the plans laid out some
time this winter, the Good Fellows will
open their mending room in the base
ment of the Benevolent Union home
on Thursday, March 6, at o'clock p.
m. as distribution center for cloth
Ing. Anyone wishing to buy clothing
For anyone wishing to do mending or
washing in return for clothes may ap.
ply at the work room on that day,
and on any following Thursday until
further notice.
The Good Fellows believe because
of the splendid support given to their
work at Christmas time that the peo-
pie of Keokuk are heartily in sympa-
thy with them They believe that
many housewives have outgrown
clothes which they are ready and
glad to pass on to the place where
they can be Of the greatest use. The
Good Fellows will undertake to col
lect all bundles of clothes which can
not be delivered by the donors at the
work room and they believe that
there is probably no public center
for distribution at present in Keokuk
more carefully administered or
| through which such passing on or
still useful garments can be done
more successfully.
1t Is the plan of the Good Fellows
to let no garment go out OF their
work room soiled or unmended. Such
garments as need mending will be
put into the hands of those buyers
who prefer to purchase by giving
their time rather than money Soiled
clothing will be given OH. to be wash
ed, and clothing may be obtained in
payment for this. Mending may be
taken home If SO desired.
| The Good Fellows are giving their
time to this project because it seems
to them a valuable means of bring
ing supply and demand together.
They earnestly ask that the people
of Keokuk respond by passing on at
once such garments as are worth beins
used further. Things which are ex-
is asked that discrimination in this
one particular be used. The Good
Fellows ask particularly that pieces
be given them also. Many women in
making dresses find themselves often
with quite large pieces left over
which would do to make little chil-
dren's dresses. Making of such
clothes, quilt pieces and carpet rags,
and making over of clothes are types
of work to be carried on in the Good
Fellows work room Large or small
pieces are therefore much desired
The work of the Good Fellows has
grown steadily during the winter and
has proved UP to this point a great
satisfaction and benefit, certainly to
the Good Fellows and 1t is hoped to
their friends. Anyone who desires to
contribute may call Miss Frances
Meigs.

Postoffice Department Wants the
Farmers to Take Advantage Of
the. Parcel Post and VIII
Explain System.
EXPERTS TO GO TO FAIRS
Where They viii Explain How the
Parcel Post Can Be Used to
the Advantage Of the Pro-
ducers.

f9 +
The postoffice department is said to
be planning an educational campaign
for the purpose of inducing farmers
and truck growers to make use of the
parcel post for the sale Of their prod
ucts.
According to Washington dispatch,
experts from the department are to be
sent to all the big state fairs to ex-
plain personally to farmers, how the
parcel post may be used to the adj
vantage of the producers. The prob
lens of packing and mailing and the
methods of obtaining city customers
will be demonstrated.
The farmers organizations of the
country have been consistently adyo.
eating the establishment of the parce,
post for the last twenty years or more.
Now that the system has been put in
operation the farmers should make
the fullest use of it. They doubtless
recognize it as good medium for Sc
curing supplies from the city, but it
works just as we'll the other way and
can be made to do beneficial duty in
|disposing of the products of the farm.
Over in England, where the parcel
post was established many years ago,
the farmers find it great conven-
fence in disposing of their butter,
eggs, vegetables, fruits and other
produce. Many of them find customers
by placing small advertisements in
the classified columns of the newspa-
pers of London and other cities. Such
advertisements are an every day fea-
ture of many Of the English newsps-
pers, and the farmers by that method
readily find purchasers for what they
have to sell. In time this plan prob
ably will be adopted in the United
States. The parcel post is new and
the people in general have much to
learn about it.
AT certain seasons of the year, says
the Louisville-Courier Journal, the
farmer finds himself with a surplus
of this, that or the other product.
More than likely there are consumers
in the city who would be glad of the
opportunity to take the excess off his
hands at prices that would compen-
safe him we'll for his time and trouble.
In this way the parcel post will work
to the benefit of producer and consum-
er alike The enterprising farmer
should not overlook the facilities the
system offers in this respect.
