A Birthday Surprise.

Sunday, September the twentieth,
number of Miss Amy Bagley's for
mer pupils gathered together and
went to take dinner with her and
spend the day, taking with them de-
licious birthday cakes and lovely
presents.
When they arrived at her home
found her there They were lucky
to find her father first after taking
him by surprise. He and her mother
managed to get her out after a neigh
Dor lady called her on the phone to
get her attention for few minutes
visit. While her attention was attract
ed they tiptoed and gathered in the
parlor, placed the presents in the CEN
ter and kept quiet until Amy hap
pened in the room. Her parents went
about as unconcerned as if no one
WAS near.
After she came in there was
joyous laughter over the joke they
played on her.
This was her twenty-first birth
day She was certainly surprised.
They have certainly surprised her
three times within year.
She taught her home school last
year but postponed teaching this
year on account of her mothers
health and the farm work being too
much for her. The pupils are as af-
fectionate to Amy as she is to them.
This surprise was like sunshine to
her mother.
All spent pleasant day reviewing
their happy hour together. They also
sang several of their songs that they
had sang at school and wished their
former teacher many such happy
birthdays.
May friendship bind them together
forever and forever.

WILL TAKE PLAGUE CENSUS.
A. Il. Kepford Sends Blanks for Re-
cOrding OF Tuberculosis Sta
tistics to Ministers.

Blanks for taking a tuberculosis
census in Iowa will be sent out to
ministers of the state this week by
Prof. A. E. kepford, state tubercu-
losis lecturer. The data is to be COL
lected in September and the results,
the state official says, will be valu-
able for tuberculosis day, Nov. 80.
The taking of the census is in CO.
operation with the National Associa-
ton for the Prevention of Tubercu-
losis. The ministers are asked to
supply the information wanted, as
the church is interested in the white
plague problem.
Professor Kepford asserts that al
though the fight against the disease
is difficult, owing to it's social en-
trenchments, the campaigners are
gaining ground. This, he says, is dis
closed by the fact that in 1900 there
were % deaths from all forms of
tuberculosis to each 100000 popula-
ton in tho state. In the year 1913
the death rate had been reduced to
81 to every 100000.
Programmes of the Mississippi val
Icy conference on tuberculosis to be
held at st. Louis Oct 6 to s, are be-
ing sent out.
Among the important matters to
be discussed is what to do with The
tubercular patient. Professor KEEP
ford asserts that he has not permit
ted any consumptives from Iowa to
go west if he could avoid it. The
commercial clubs of the southern
and western cities are appealing to
the eastern cities not to send their
sick to the west. If this system is
checked the states must make pro-
vision for the care of the sufferers,
within the state, the authorities say.
Mr. kepford is anxious to get
good representation from Iowa for
the conference.

Iowa Senator's Hope Of Winning
Over Progressives Wrecked
by Former President.
TEDDY FLAYS I0WAN IN
HIS DES MONIES SPEECH
Secretary Bryan commends Maurice
Connolly 40 lone Who Has Support.
ed the President Loyalty and Will
Make Splendid Senatpr."

Des Moines, Iowa, Sept. 20, 1914
ator Cummins in his speech in this
city last Wednesday has taken the
heart out of Cummins' supporters.
They privately admit now there is no
chance to defeat Maurice Connolly, the
democratic nominee for senator.
In his Coliseum speech here Colon.
Ell Roosevelt appealed to progressives
to stand together against Cummins.
He compared Cummins to the OPP
onents OF Abraham Lincoln in Illi-
nois in 1858 Here in Iowa. he said.
"the republicans who ask you to sup
port them on the ground that they
are near-progressives, occupy precise
ly the position which the supports OF
Stephen A. Douglas occupied when he
ran against Abraham Lincoln"
He spoke of Cu.nmins as trying to
appear to be near-progressive and as
allied with Barnes and Penrose. He
said, II feel that we have right to
look to you of Iowa for leadership and
that you should back the real progress
sives and not be put in the position OF
claiming to be near-progressives; in
the uncomfortable attitude of endeav-
oring to be progressive enough not to
ALLEVIATE progressive support and at
the same time walk with sufficient
ly mincing gait to keep step with Mr..
Barnes and Mr. Penrose"
Senator Cummins' only hope of cleo
ton lay in his ability to win over to
his support the $4,000 former repub.
licans who left their party in 1912
and voted for Judge Stevens, the pro.
gressive party candidate for governor.
The senator had no hope Of winning
over the $4,000 republicans who voted
for Savage and against him in the
June primary. He knows they hate
him too intensely ever to support him
and that they will never forgive him
for the character OF the Aght he made
upon them in past years.
Colonel Roosevelt's appeal to the
members Of the progressive party to
vote against Cummins means that
Cummins must now abandon hope Of
their support, and with that, all hope
of election.
The DETECTION Of the progressives
from the republican party in 1912
nearly beat Clarke for governor, his
majority over Dunn, democrat, having
been only 1859.
With the $4,000 anti Cummins repub-
licans, who were for Clark in 1912 and
for Savage in the primary, voting, as
everybody recognizes they will vote.
against Cummins in November, it 10
obvious that the senator has no show
whatever Of success.

Mr.. BRYAN AND Mr.. CONNOLLY.

Congressman Connolly's campaign il
well under way and the national ad-
ministration has already given indica-
ton OF its purpose to do everything in
its power in his behalf. At the Des
Moines meeting signalling the open.
ing Of the democratic campaign, E. T.
Meredith, who was Mr.. Connolly's
primary opponent, presided as chair
man and in strong speech urged
united support of Mr.. Connolly. Mr..
Meredith has followed up his speech
with a personal letter to democratic
workers reminding them that the DEM
ocrats "can elect our entire ticket this
year if we all work together and pull
together" and counselling them to do
SO.
Secretary of state Bryan, in letter
to democratic State Chairman Rey-
nolds last week, said that if he can
leave Washington during the campaign
he will make few speeches in Iowa
Mr.. Bryan further says:
ri write to ask you to express to the
democratic voters Of Iowa the deep in.
terest which I feel in the election OF
Congressman Connolly to the senate.
HE is young man Of unusual abtl.
ity, with genuine interest in public
affairs, and is in sympathy with the
effort Of the masses to secure justice
between man and man. He has made
an excellent record in congress ana
with this experience will, I am sure,
make splendid senator. He has sup
ported the president loyalty and can
be Of still greater assistance in the
upper house.
