Colon. C. I'm writing or talking
about the Panama Canal the su2eria
tive degree is very likely to be over
worked. The canal itself is the big
gest thing of the kind ever under
taken; the locks are unequal.ed in
size: the work OF the department Of
sanitation is the most remarkable
ever carried out. and so it goes
But there is one other feature OF
the building of the canal that calls
loudly for the superlative degree-the
commissary department and the way
in which it has fed the Zone. Not fed
it only, either but largely clothed it
and supplied it with household neces-
sites and even Injuries.
The commissary department is a de-
partment OF the Panama railroad,
which is owned by the United States
and of which Chairman Goethals is
president. AS officially stated:
The commissary department of the
Panama railroad is operated by the
subsistence department Of the 18th
milan Canal commission for the pur-
pose Of supplying employees Of The

The Lambertville record. [volume] (Lambertville, N.J.) 1872-1968, 1913-02-27

Newark may govern the State, and
if the Constitution is adopted by the
people, by vote, it can be done. Of
course we do not expect the Conven-
ton to be as radical as that. All
they ask is that Essex, Hudson, Pas
sale and Bergen Counties be given
the right for all time to come to say
to the people of Lambertville, and
of Amwell Township, and of Della
ware Township, and of Hunterdon
County, how much tax they shall
pay, and how many things they shall
get back for the tax, and whether
city hunters shall have the right to
shoot the farmer with or without
yelling first, and such things as that.
Everything else such as what time
the rural citizens shall eat their din
ners or which church they shall at
tend, and whether they shall name
the youngest son John or Henry
they are willing to pass by for the
good of the State.
We have a grist of hot shot for
this Constitutional Convention grab
in stock, to be delivered later, but
one thing more we wish to impress
upon the people this week: Once
you let the Convention be called, to
whom are you going to appeal for
relief? To the State? Whom would
you appeal to? Could you appeal to
the President of the United States?
You might appeal, but it is under
stood that President-elect Wilson
favors the Constitutional Convention
so your appeal would fall upon deaf
ears.

c. H. Nelson. of Waverly, a breeder
of Holstein dairy cows, gave the main
address Of the afternoon. He Is so en-
Unused over his subject that he fairly
carried his audience with him. Mr..
Nelson said. in part:
Iowa will supply the world some
day. for we have the very best land in
all the world. Our land will be worth
$500. and Iowa farmers are million
aires and don't know it. Dairy cattle
will pay 10 per cent profit on $500
land. No piece of property In Iowa to-
day pays the interest on the invest
ment that the dairy cow does. Mine

how pity the 40-year-old retired
farmer who moves to town to make
loafers Of his boys. When you have
good creameries. schools, churches and
homes you have an ideal place to live.
Don't fret about the tariff, farmers:
the main question IS whether yc" have
good cows. and good wife and a
good family on your farm. Take care
of your boys and girls and educate
them. Look to the future. have faith
in the farmers Of Iowa. in my flag. in
my country. and great admiration for
humanity at large"
]. J. Ross. Of Iowa Falls. assistant
state dairy and food commissioner,

Barney, who was unable to be here, be-
cause OF his official duties in connc-
ton with the state fair. Mr.. Ross
urged the patrons Of the creameries to
assist their buttermakers in raising
the quality Of the butter produced in
Iowa. Whereas ten years ago. Iowa
made the most and the best butter Of
any state in the world. for the past
seven years Iowa has fallen behind,
and Minnesota has claimed the banner
at the National Buttermakers' Asso-
citation. for the highest quality Of but
ter. Mr.. Ross urged the farmers to
