A NOVEL BANQUET.

City officials and newspaper men
from all the cities in Iowa have been
invited to the novel banquet to be held
in the gigantic reservoir In Fort Dodge
Thursday evening, June rs. This ban
quet is to dedicate the reservoir
which is a huge tub located on Duck
Island in the middle of the Des
Moines river, 1t is 1862 feet in diam
eter at the bottom and Is feet deep to
the top Of the walls, with plenty of
room to accommodate thousands Of
diners. 1t is probable tina. 1000 per-
sons Will sit down to the banquet.
The city of Fort Dodge owns its own
water works and gets its water sup
ply from three flowing artesian wells.
The water consumption increased to
such an extent that large storage
reservoir was necessary which could
be filled at night to take care Of excess
consumption during the day. This re.
suited in the two million gallon con-
crete reservoir which has just been
completed. It is the only one of its
kind In the state.
Under the commission plan OF gov
eminent the city OF Fort Dodge was to
construct the reservoir with the earn
Iings of the plant and without the aid
of bond issue. 1t cost $25,000

membership OF thirty-f1ve souls and
both situated under the shadow OF 4
strong Methodist church! The Presby-
terrain church had lost twenty-four
members In three years. The Board
OF Church Erection had assisted it to
the extent of nine hundred dollars. 1t
had been aided by the Board OF Mis-
sions for ten years, since It's organiza-
ton. Numerous cases OF the most
fragrant waste of home mission money
in the state we're found.
Mr. Simms says that the board Of
is not to blame for this con.
diticn. 1t is only the logical and in
eyitable result of sectarianism. The
fault is in the system. These condi-
lions exist more or less everywhere.
But mission boards are creatures of
the churches and stand ready to do
their bidding. When the churches de-
sire something better they will get it.

A GOOD REGULATION.

We learn from the Davenport Times
that regulation, the common sense
of which will appeal to everyone. has
just been issued by the government,
which places meats and meat products
under the pure food and drugs act
from which by an order adopted IN
1906, they have heretofore been free.
Secretary Houston of the department
of agriculture cannot see why meats
and meat products are not food, and
he insists that these products come
under the general law
While the government has inspec-
tors at the packing houses and con-
dennis all bad meat intended for In
terstate or foreign commerce, hereto
fore it has had no control over the
products once the meat had passed in
spection. Under the extension of the
pure food and drug act to cover meat
and meat products the government
will be in position to control label
ing Of products and to seize any of the
produces that may have deteriorated
In quality so as to be dangerous as
food.

EXIT GuN.ToTlNc.

Among the excellent laws passed
by the Iowa legislature at It's last
session was one intended to discour.
age the foolish and reprehensible
practice OF 'gun-toting." Under this
new statute sales of firearms cannot
be made legally to those who have
not secured permits to buy the weap
ons. Those who want permits to buy
must apply to the city authorities, and
whoever sells a weapon must repor,
such sale to the city officials. Prop
erly enforced this law should put a
crimp in the gun-toting business and
lessen the number of shooting affrays
The average individual has no legiti.
mate use for gun unless he is a
hunter, and even a hunter has nc
occasion to carry a weapon habitually
as do the fellows the lawmakers had
in mind in framing and passing the
new law

In speaking of The Gate city's ref
erence to Alex Miller as "a coming
man." the Muscatine Journal sug.
gests that when a good Democrat
gains reputation as a public speaker
and gets federal position he feels
not that he is coming, but that he
mas arrived" The point is well taken.
Inc characterization of Mr.. Miller as
coming" man was simply a bit of
pleasantly. As matter of fact he
mad already arrived before he gain.
ed a reputation as public speaker
OF was slated for the Washington
postmastership. For years he has
ranked as one of the brightest and
pest newspaper men in state famed
LOT the number of its capable and
popular journalists. Alex is a great
credit to the state.

The Mississippi as Means Of Outing

Burlington Hawk-Eye: This is not an
advertisement for any steamboat line.
1t is merely the outburst of full
heart. Treachercus as the old river is
if misused, 1t is, in fact, one of the
loVeliest and most enjoyable things in
the world when one is weary of the
whirl Of dusty roads, of grimy offices
and of baking front porches. 1t is one
of natures great pleasure highways,
more magnificent, more appealing to
the artistic sense, more full of ro-
nance and of the picturesque, more
suggestive of the real living of life's
delights, than any other thing present

does not have to take passage on one
Of the river packets that ply up and
down the stream during the lovely
summer season, unless he wants to.
One wouldn't regret it if he did In
fact, one would miss something If he
did not. But be that as 1t may. there
are thousand and one ways in which
most of us can enjoy the biz. river.
The motor boat is an ideal method.
There is no end of delight and pleas

days full of pelting sunshine and hot
winds. become cool and refreshing as

But If one hasn't chug boat, or
ones bes. friend is not the possessor
OF one, coupled with kind disposition
then take ride on river packet in
the short line trade, some fine after
noon when you are Disguised with life
and the heat. No hing is more beau
tiful In nature than the river regions
between Burlington and the termln-
ais to which these boa.s go several
times week. And some time during
the summer for goodness sake, take a
trip on one OF the big through steam
ers. A voyage to st. Paul and return,
is world of delight in itself The
scenery from the breezy deck is never
the same. 1t is continually changing,

steamboat on its course, the cooling

IN RE BILLY SUNDAY.

Billy Sunday Is wisely advised by
the Sioux City Journal not to be
hard on the cub reporter, inasmuch as
the cub reporter gave Billy his start
IN lie and repeatedly has been the
means OF saving him from shrinking
prosperity" Speaking of Billy, we
are reminded that the best advertis-
ing he ever received, and that at a
TIME when he needed it most, was
given MIN by DIR. Bars reports of his
sermons here published in The Gate
CITY. His unique utterances had
never received adequate treatment or
Ike publicity before, and 1t NAV be
said that that was the real beginning
OF MS phenomenal career. DR.. Barr
wasn't cub reporter. He brought 20
the work of reporting Sunday the
talents and training of a brilliant and
experienced newspaper man and
showed the cub reporters how to
make the now well-known evangelist

baby has. Therefore, all women able
to do so should supply their babies
mothers milk.
The cows milk supply should be
absolutely clean and free from germs
children are peculiarly susceptible ia
diseases resultant upon impure milk.
Baby clinics are necessary. These
are places in charge of qualified nhv.
slcians, who examine poorer children
ana prescribe proper diet and care for
them
The visiting nurse is an institution
which has saved many baby lives and
will save more. Visiting nurses should
be encouraged and their services util.
lied as much as possible.
Proper attention should be bestow.
ed upon women about to become
mothers, to the end that their off.
spring may be stronger and healthier
Mothers should be instructed that

necessity and that 1t boots little To

homes If it is to become infected by
unclean, insanitary surroundings.

I'll. MAKING OF A MAN.

THE MAKING OF A MAN.
As the insect from the rock
Takes the color OF its wing;
AS the boulder from the shock
OF the oceans rhythmic swing
Makes itself perfect form,
Learns a caimer front to raise;
As the shell, enameled warm
With the prism's mystic rays,
Praises wind and wave that make
All its chambers fair and strong;
AS the mighty poets take
Grief and pain to build their song;
Even SO for every soul
Whatsoever its lot may be,
Building, as the heavens roll,
Something large and strong and
free
Things that hurt AND things that mar
Shape the man for perfect praise;
Shock and strain and ruin are
Friendlier than the smiling days.
