ceptionally fine form, and. in adj
dition to winning three first

time for the university.

learn they are also doing some build

other institutions. They must slice

BY the way, there was an inspector
fellow here the other day and no
lacked up some OF the farmers over on
the bottoms for not keeping their
barns clean where they milk the
cows. That suited me- And then he
told our butter maker whole lot
about maxim good butter. Over in

the screws to some Of the fellows sell

because another inspector man was on
the job. Then over in the south end
they caught a fellow that had been

You can't put your finger on any
large appropriation made by any gen.
eral assembly of Iowa in dozen
wears but that it received the votes OF
democratic members OF the legislat-
ure.. All the leading executive boards
and commissions, the ones that have
the expenditure OF nine-tenths OF the
money, have democratic members. In
Iowa. quite contrary to the present
custom at Washington, the legislative
majority never puts any measures
through by command Of the party
caucus, and party lines have never
been drawn in either legislation nor
administration. The flimsy indict.
ment brought by the Little 1owans'
Is an attack on democrats as we'll as
