TOMORROW is WEED
DAY THROUGH IOWA

Tomorrow Is weed day in Iowa and
for the second time this summer the
state highway commission calls upon
the people to cut the weeds. Official
bulletin No. IL received recently by
the various county auditors called at
tention to the weeds and urged upon
the people the sentiment for a more
beautiful Iowa. That twice the atten-
ton is called to the obnoxious product
is largely due to the fact that IN the
northern part Of the state 1t natures
later than does the weed In the south
ern or lower section Of the common
wealth. The state weed law requires
that between the 18th of July and the
18th of August all owners and holders
of lands shall destroy all noxious
weeds and prevent their reaching ma
turity. r ....,
The object of the highway commits
sion is to rid the country Of the weeds
and to follow up with seeding the
waste places and thus carry out the
idea of the more beautiful Iowa by
having timothy and clover grow where
the weeds now thrive.

K. OF p. AT DES
MONIES AUG. 12-14.

Des Moines, July 14.-An increase OF
from 600 to 500 In attendance is ex-
pected at the annual conclave Of the
grand lodge of the knights of Pythtas
in this city on Aug. IL to IA. This is the
result Of change In the constitution
past chancellorsI Of the local lodges to
vote and take part in the proceedings
Of the conclave. ~.
Last years attendance was 1900. At
that time the right Of suffrage was ex,
tended to the heads of the local lodges,
who formerly had no rights IN the
conclave except as onlookers. At a
special meeting Of the officers Of the
grand lodge recently at the Slavery
hotel it was announced that the change
in the constitution would benefit more
than 600 persons, nearly all Of whom
are expected to attend the three days
session.
Plans for the annual conclave were
discussed until long after midnight.
One reason for the special meeting was
the necessity Of appointing a grand
trustee to succeed w. p. Kirkpatrick
of Nevada, who was killed in an auto
mobile accident at that place on Tues
day. His successor will serve until the
grand lodge convenes and elects anoth-
er trustee.
A dozen Of the officers and members
OF the grand lodge attended the Fitch
patrick funeral at Nevada. From there
they came to Des Moines where they
were met by six other members Of the
grand lodge. The plans adopted for
the grand conclave were not given out
after the meeting. but members Of the
official party declared the conclave
would be the greatest in the history of
the order. Many prominent Knights Of
Pythias from outside Iowa are expect
ed to be present, and some Of them
will take part in the program.
Among those who came to Des
Moines to attend the conference were
A. G. Savage Of Adair. grand chancel-
lor; ]. F. Cole of Oelwein, past grand
chancellor; Ward Ferguson Of Rolfe,

as to the whereof of the sudden drop
or leakage in the marriage license de-
partment. Don't know. Suppose all
the manageable ladies are working at
the state house, or don't give a whoop
whether they marry or not 1t don't
make much difference now. Since
equal rights have been established,
leap year is not looked forward to.

she just goes and grabs 'em. 'Tis q

riage licenses, when you consider
there are hunting and fishing licenses

EDUCATORS URGED TO SPEAK ON
CHILD LABOR.
Monday, January eth, viii BE Child
Labor Day in Schools and
Colleges.

Every president Of college or uni

large cities throughout the country
have just been asked by the Nation
al Child Labor committee to observe
Monday, January 9th as Child Labor
Day In schools and colleges This is
new feature this year Of the Child
Labor Day, which for seven years past
has been widely observed by the cler-
gymen Of all denominations. The Ma
ti0nal Child Labor committee believes
there will be a general response to this
appeal to the educators of the coun-
try, since 1t is coming to be universal
ly recognized not only that child la
Dor interferes with education but that
the attitude of the children themselves
is a leading factor in the child labor
problem.
OF the 5000 clergymen to whom the
Child Labor Day appeal was sent more
than 300 have responded with person.
al letters assuring their support of the
plan TO each Of the 5000 a pamphlet
Of facts and statistics was sent, and
the committee considers it significant
of the increasingly intelligent interest
OF the public in child labor, that so
many as 300 have asked for more de-
tailed information about the laws in
their own states
Cordial endorsement of Child Labor
Day has been received from The Union
Of Baptism and Free Baptists and the
Federal Council of the Churches of
Christ in America
Bishop Israel, of Erie, has expressed
his cordial approval as follows:
"While an ardent believer in the OBJ
servance Of the Lords Day as ap-
pointed In the church year and elabor-
ated In the prayer book, am so deep
ly interested in, and consider the sub
iect OF Child Labor so important
question, that I give my unqualified
endorsement 10 the observance of Jan
uary 26th (Sexagesima Sunday as
what has been termed Child Labor
Day.
