But while Polk county manufactur.
ers are immune from prosecution for
q period, If they put out Ice cream
which is below IL per cent in butter

ers in other counties. who put out
inferior products, the state official

his father in physical build. and 1t Is
said that out of seven Iowa applicants
for the navy when he first applied. he
was the only one to pass muster. TAX

he has progressed steadily In naval UNI
derstanding, and Is now gunner on

suggestion Of tear gathers In MS
eyes when speaking Of his son, and 1t
is not difficult to read the tenderness
back of the pride. nor the hesitation
that held his pen when first called
upon to sign his consent for the lad to
him about a week ago, saying that war,
or the use of arms, was expected by
the naval forces, and that he had been
detailed to Admiral F1etchers COM

PLAN To BOOST
FARMS IN IOWA
GREATER IOWA COMMITTEE WILL
TAKE UP WORK OF SHOWING
STATES RESOURCES.

A plan is being formulated by
members of the Greater Iowa" move
ment for Iowa stock exhibitors at the
San Francisco worlds fair to make
tour through the northwest with
their exhibits several weeks before the
fair opens. The plan is to interest
our neighbors in the productiveness
of the state of Iowa and to demon
strate what we are doing. The plan
is one Of many that are being formu-
lated by them.
Official announcement of the list
appointed by Governor Clarke to take
state building at the fair, and to inter
est five hundred leading citizens of the
state in statewide movement for
publicity. George Haw was appoint
ed member of the committee.
The plan Is considered by many to
be the greatest boost for the state that
has ever been launched and is already
meeting with vast approval through
out the state, many signifying their In
tentions Of joining.
The membership of the organization
will be limited to five hundred in or
der to select just the members tnat are
desired. Each member, will be charged
a membership fee that will cover many
of the expenses of schemes which the
movement hopes to put through.
At a recent meeting of several hun
dred of the boosters at Des Moines, it
was pointed out by speakers that the
agricultural possibilities of the state
have only been scratched. A strong
point brought out was that the states
of the Pacific coast have more resi-
dents that have come from the state
Of Iowa than from any other one state
in the union.
The speaker said that the only rea-
son for the vast success of that re-
gion was the boosting spirit which
must pervade a community in order
for it to be aggressive.

little tot had been at the home OF her
grandparents, Mr.. and Mrs. r. L..
Fridley, on Drake avenue, and had
just started home when the accident
occurred.
When the accident occurred It
seems that the little girls attention
was attracted elsewhere and she did
not notice the approach Of the car.
The motorman rang the bell, thinking
the little girl would get out Of the
way, but she may not have realized
her danger. The brakes were set
bu not soon enough to avoid hitting
her. Fortunately she was caught by
the fender and carried considerable
distance. When picked up she was un-
conscious. No bones were broken and
the only injuries were some bruises.
