Widows Pension Claim Presented.

Des Moines, Ia, July Mrs.
Charles Weigle of Elkhart, mother
of four small children, probably will
be the first woman in Iowa to re-
ceive widows pension, in accor-
dance with a law passed by the last
session of the state legislature.
Frank S. Shankland, father of the
widows pension" bill in Iowa, pre-
sented Mrs. Weigels application to
the district court yesterday, in which
she asks $500 week for support of
each of her four children. The wo-
mans husband died at Bondurant on
March Z last. Since that time she
has been almost in destitute circum-
stances.
According to her petition, she does
not own any property except her
household goods and one COW, and
has no income from any source ex-
cept when she is employed in doing
housework for others and which COM
pels her to be absent from her chill
dren.

OFFICIAL COMMUNICATION.
Relative to the Designation of July
Fifteenth as State Weed Day.

To all the People in the State of
Iowa:
On account of the generous re-
spouse to the call for the observance
OF June Twenty-eight as weed day,
the Highway Commission believes
that the good results already OBJ
tanned may be made accumulative
and materially increased by the des-
lgnatlon of July Fifteenth as State
Weed Day.
The attention of the Commission
has been directed by the board of
supervisors of Dubuque County to
the TACT that many weeds mature
later in the northern part of the
State than in the southern part, and
that a later date than the date first
designated is desirable for State
weed Day. The cooperation of the
road officers of the counties and
townships, of city officials, of the in
dividual farmers and property owners
and OF land holding corporations is
cordially requested.
Ahe State Weed Law requires that
between the Fifteenth day of July
and the fifteenth day of August each
year the owners and holders of all
lands shall destroy all noxious weeds
and prevent their coming to maturi-
ty. This designation of July Fiji
teenth as State Weed Day is a call
to the pride and loyalty of every
holder of Iowa land.
In addition, in destroying these
weeds first steps will be taken toward
the realization of More Beautiful
Iowa, when all the roadsides will
be seeded, and when these unsightly
waste spaces will become profitable
field OF timothy and clover.
We hope to have the cooperation
OF all the people of the State on
July Fifteenth, State Weed Day.

A KidhOod Dream.

He slept and dreamt that the kang
aroo
Had given a fancy ball;
The elephants came with the festive
gnu,
The mouse with the ostrich tall.
A funny giraffe that did nothing but
laugh,
Dropped in with a centipede;
And cricket and flee that had just
been to tea,
Waited round with remarkable
speed.
A wasp and humble bee had long
chat
Just over his little nose;
A boa constructor lay stretched on the
mat,
Dressed up in his Sunday clothes;
A crow and coon in a big balloon
Paused over his bed to sing;
And neat Armadillo crept up on
his pillow,
To dance there the Highland Fling
Then all, ere they left, made most
graceful bow,
And out in the moonlight they
sped;
Except a remarkable saffron-hued
COW
Which stopped to stand on its head
The little boy woke and grinned at
the joke,
Sprang out of his bed with Tilt:
II can dream it all over,' said he,
while they cover
Me up with crazy quilt"

The Santa Fe entertainment committee were generous, and gave us more than they advertised.
 Miss Maude A. Miner, a reader from Chicago, came with Miss Temple, vocalist, and Miss French, pianist, and rendered some splen- did numbers to the program at the Normal school last Saturday night.
 Owing to other attractions in town that evening, the audience, though a very appreciative one, was not so large as these ladies deserved, as every number was excellent. The courtesy extended by the Santa Fe is very much app preciated.

Unique DeUice Used
To Cehck Up Returns

An Ohio shoe jobbing house has
evolved a plan to offset the annoyance
and loss resulting from the ind.s-
criminate return of goods by retailers
without proper record or report to tina
manufacturer or jobber, and often
without any good reason for the re-
turn
This house now sends with every
case of shoes shipped the following
notice: ITO eliminate the abuse of our
customers returning goods with Jrt
sufficient cause, as well as to avoid
the possibility of error. no merchan
disc viii be accented from any trans
portation or carriage company unless
an invoice covering same and an ac-
ceptable reason for such return Is
first received and on file at our office.
In this event we will send you
Returned Goods Shipping Tag duly
registered at our office, to be placed
on the package to be returned. No
package will be accepted by us I'M
less it bears our registered shlppins
tag"
According to The Shoe and Leather
Reporter. 1t can be readily seen that
prime advantage in the operation Of
this plan is the opportunity which the
shipper has of discussing the merits
of the case with the buyer prior "a
the goods being returned.

In report on haberdashery in

imports of hosiery are increasing His
report follows:
I'm hosiery there has been a vast
increase in the output of Chinese
knitting mills for the cheap local
trade, but there has also been a no.
table increase in imports of higher

greatly, especially a quality Of the
former which retail in the United
States around soc per pair and can
be sold here at trifie over 81 per

These goods are attractive, cheap and
popular, and the importers and gem
eral handlers of this class Of mer-
chandise report favorably as to the
satisfaction given.
Further increase in the trade has
been hampered somewhat by the in
disposition OF American and English
manufacturers 10 furnish mems hos

manded by, the Chinese trade. An
American manufacturer recently re-
fused an order for 1000 dozen silk
socks of such sizes, on the ground
that he could not furnish goods in
sizes smaller than size 3. Germany
and Japan are accepting orders for
the smaller sized goods, and there is
reason to expect that they will Sc
