Better Children in Territory.
Club women of Sioux City having
taken the initiative the Interstate
Live Stock Fair management at Sioux
City has decided to back a baby show
and $3.50 in prizes will be distributed
among the infants brought to the
show.
Funds have been created by the
women that will assure the imme-
date erection of a Better Babies"
building, in which at least $50 little
tots can be accommodated. The bet
ter Babies" contest will not be car
ried on along fad lines. 1t has been
pointed out by club women that fairs
have long pushed the cause of better
cattle, but have dohe nothing to i'm
prove the standard of human beings
directly. These women have further
asserted that if as much care was TAX
en- in baby Production as is manifest
in the horse and cattle line the
standard of citizenship gradually
would be improved.
Babies are to be Judged not for per.
sonal beauty, but for development Of
muscles and powers of observation.
Doctors have been retained by the
women to pass on all babies entered.
The scales and tape measure will be
used by experts and set cards will be
filled out in regard to each entrant.
Besides the money prizes other
awards will be provided for.
Babies will be examined from day
to day, beginning with September Is,
when the show viii omen SuccesS
of the show already is assured, and
in succeeding years the better babies
building will be enlarged. A lecture
series by experts will mark the
course of this years show

Relics Of the Middle ACES.

DO some women actually iron in
these modern times? l can remember
when as boy l sat and watched the
ironing. There were no such irons
then. The colored nanny would limp
around with the old-fashioned sad
iron. How she used to iron and sing!
The song and the memory still linger,
but old nanny has gone to her re-

SPECIAL TRAINS TO RUN
Interstate Fair at Sioux City Will
Draw Thousands of People,
Hotels Ready,

Hotels Ready.
| Railroads running into Sioux City
| are preparing to handle the greatest
crowds in history on September Is,
16, II, Is and 10, the drawing card
being the Interstate Live Stock Fair.
The management of the fair already
has been promised more special trains
than last year, and special equipment
is to be added to all the regular
trains. Effort will be made to han.
die the throngs in comfort. The spe-
Gals will be run from Iowa, Nebraska,
South Dakota and Minnesota points.
Train connections are to be made
with view to returning all fair visit
ors on the same day, if they so desire,
and opportunity will be given guests
to witness the evening shows in the
city, before departure.
Hotel accommodations have been
greatly increased by the addition of
four-story wing to the Howard no.
tel, the opening of the Martin hotel,
and several other smaller hostelries.
Sioux City now is equipped to handle
greater crowds than any other city
in Iowa, and the fair week program
will be the first real test of these IA
cilities. Twenty-thousand out of town
guests were handled in the hotels dur
ing the frontier days celebration and
but three of the institutions were
crowded.
Because Of the fact that record
crowds are expected to come to the
fair the Sioux City Service company
has pledged itself to maintain q one
minute car service to the fair
grounds.
Grounds have been rearranged to
provide for comfort of guests and
quicker disposal of people at all gates
Will be made possible, through the en-
laEgement of clerical forces.

Parkison is very much worked up
over the reference to the people of
the workmen s compensation act and
accuses the casualty companies Of be-
ing behind the move. The companies
declare they are not, but such dec
IaratiOn does not carry conviction to
the people. But, aside from this par
ticular contention, how does the
Portland obstructionist relish the
situation anyway? AS a staunch
friend Of the compensation bill, he
is very much worried over the hold
ing up of the measure but, in his own
case, where he has succeeded in again
embarrassing the state university
with a senseless referendum that the
people do not want, he appears to
think that Oregon's constitution is a
handy tool to promote his personal
spite and satisfy his grudge. It's
different, isn't it, when ones poultry
returns to the home domicile to spend
the evening.

As sure as the world gets hungry

If the organization is completed,
you will be ready to meet everything

sell that will put life and spirit in
your business, and then invite the
world to come and put down for what

Kansas, always first in aid Of suf-
feing humanity, now comes to the
front with a scheme to defeat the
liquor laws of that state. A man
proposes to pipe beer under the Mis-
souri river from the exceedingly
damp state of Missouri. While the
laws of Kansas and supreme court
decisions expressly forbid the ship
ping of wet goods into dry territory,
they are silent upon the question Of
getting it there via pipe line. Under
the working of the pipe line plan,
all a thirsty individual would have
to do would be to drop a nickel in a
slot and back would come gener-
Gus portion of foamy suds. This
would most certainly result in con-
gestion Of traffic around the business
end of that pipe line.

According to the Spokane Spokes-
man-Review, "half of the girls grad
uating this year from the University
of Washington's culinary department
are reported to be engaged" " And
the paper truthfully adds that ono
such report about the maidens in the
department Of literature has been
published. A" Well, we should say
not! What has literature to do with
the proper preparation Of ham and
eggs or the latest accomplishment in
bean soup? It's cooks this strenu-
Gus generation wants-nOt litera-
fists. And if good cooking isn't an
art, what is?

The doorkeeper of the House of
Representatives at Washington who
eats a spoonful of sand after every

stumbled on to something that might
be advantageous for some of the
members whom he serves. Lack of
sand has been noticeable in Congress
for some time.

"By their fruits We shall know
