the big reunion. Just at present Cen
eral Logan is routing the veterans
making cut and placing on the requisi-
ton for tickets the exact route each
person is to take and making the or
der apply in each case to one certain
railroad. These will 30 to each Of
the s22 Iowa veterans Of the battle
who have applied. Possibly not all will
be used. For instance. two who had
applied yesterday reported that they
would not go: hut two additional ap-
plications were received,
The committee in charge will handle
no money nor warrants. Each veteran
entitled to the free transportation will
get requisitfon for a ticket which the
station agent will honor and when
these are returned from the auditing
departments Of the railroads they will
be paid by warrants on the state
treasury. SO far as the state money
goes. and after that from the fund
| raised by the old soldiers for that pur-
pose. All the orders will go out this
week.
w. B. Barney. state food and dairy
commissioner. is in Mobile attending
the annual convention Of officers Of
this kind. Just why they went 80 far
as Mobile at this season OF the year
| Is not explained Two years ago the
convention met in New Orleans but 1t
was at another season. The conven-
ton has no authority. but the annual
meetings have served to get all the
| various departments into close rela-
| lions with each other and with the
federal food inspection bureau so there
is no disagreement between them.
One Of the matters that, 1t Is I'M
derstcod. was to be discussed at the
Mobile convention. Is the complications
| that may arise over conflict Of state
and federal authority in regard to Ia
bells and brands on food products. In a
| recent supreme court decision the court
held the Wisconsin statute in regard
to labels invalid because 1t not only
required certain things on the labels
but forbade any others, and this would
require the removal from packages Of
the labels which had been placed there
under federal regulation for interstate
shipment.
No provision of this kind occurs in the
Iowa law. It has been anticipated.
however. that It will be found that a
4 good smany Of the-s state laws contain
( provisions which could be construed
into Interference with the federal stat
utes. las both state and federal au-
thorities are at the Mobile convention
this matter will be thrashed out.
Altho Iowa has been thus far more
| backward than almost any ct the
| midland states in the matter Of pro-
| viding for agricultural education in
| the common schools Of the state and
| the training Of teachers for giving in
| struction In agriculture, Iowa will have
| part on the program for the National
Education Association at the Salt Lake
/. City meeting commencing July 5. Pres

Teachers College, is now and has been
! for several years chairman Of the ma
tional committee on agricultural edu-
!; cation, which committee will make q
| report on progress. Prof. E. C. Bishop,
| OF the schools section Of extension
work at Ames, presents to the con-
vention a report Of the committee on
courses of study in agriculture. AT both
Ames and Cedar Falls great deal has
been done toward encouraging educa-
ton in agricultural lines.

fully enclosed and have. provision to

so easy to secure CLEANLINESS in the old

have been making some preliminary
investigator with the result that 1t Is
found large proportion Of these
slaughter houses are in very bad con-
dition and oukhtr not to be used at all.
