A Lover of Wild Life.

Prof. l.. X. Perkins of Middlebury
college talked before a large number
of the members of the Rutland Wo-
mans club at the club rooms in Rutland
Tuesday afternoon. His talk was half
way between a discussion from the
standpoint of a scientist and a nature
lover. Prof. Perkins told of several
winters passed in the Adirondacks, in
search of health, during which time he
came to know, understand and love
birds, squirrels and all the smaller
animals.
The Rutland Herald says: "The Mid
dlebIry man is a strong advocate of
kindly trea ment of birds at all times,
and of providing those that stay north
in the winter months with fo d, suet,
crumbs, or nuts. The speaker told of
the actual advantages which would
result, to say nothing of the pleasure
of having the teathered tribe at hand
all winter long, He said that many
birds which migrate would stay in this
climate if the feeding We're started
early enough in the fall, when it begins
to be difficult for the little creatures to
get food for themselves.

Il When connection 10 made between
the Iowa state house and the chamber
of commerce in San francisco over the
long distance phones next Friday, with
the governor and the Iowa party at
the western end and Iowa people at
the Iowa end. there will be opportunity
for a number Of persons to say they
have talked . distance Of thousand
or more miles. The plan is to arrange
1t so that number Of persons may
talk and also that a larger number
may hear the conversation at the same
time. Some OF the boys in the state
house may not be able to resist tho
temptation to ask Governor Clarke
how his new silk tile sets on his head

wnA1 The lcEnAn WANTS.

A plan is being urged in different
cities whereby the men who run the
ice wagons may have Saturday for a
holiday. The plan is for everyone to
fill the icebox Friday with a charge
which will last over until Monday.
Then the iceman goes fishing satur-
day.
OF course the ice dealer and the ice
man should be consulted about this.
Perhaps il the householder can fill UP
for three days the ice plant will at
tempt to arrange schedule whereby
the delivery may be managed SO that
fewer men and fewer wagons will be
necessary. That is the employers

For South America is the opportun-

agriculturists. The trade OF the South

American indifference has been added

assiduously cultivated by foreign in

The INDICTMENT IS FAULTY.

The display heralded Iowa as the
only billion dollar state. but nothing
was said about the $e-cent legislature
which left ii TO private enterprise and
liberality TO make certain there should
be an Iowa building at the tair.-Dav-
export Democrat.
Iowa came away with the first prize
in certain agricultural exhibits. 1t is
a matter OF large qualification and
state pride ,ha, she should DO so. Iowa
is billion dollar state. The big
banks in the east SO advertise her.
But al these facts scarcely give en-
tire liberty 10 eontenptuously designate
two Iowa assemblies as s0-cent legis-
latures because they failed TO appro-
pirate large sum for an Iowa build
ing at the Panama exposition. !: such
criticism and contempt is 10 pc be-
slowed il belongs upon the people Of
the state; for it is TO be conceded that
the average 1owan was not favorable
TO any such large appropriation. The
first legislature turned il down and
after having consulted the folks at
home. TIE next legislature refused 70
be forced into making the approp-ia
ton by an organized and systematic
scheme
Let Us keep history straight The
last Legislature refused 10 make good
the promises Of q few persons. Leav-
ing outside the discussion the question
o: whether the few were patriotic or
personally interested. the fact stands
tha, the basis OF the scheme consisted
in plan 10 get pledges from suf-
dcient number of Iowans to force the
legislature TO come forward in their re-
lief. The legislature refused 10 con-
form 10 a system OF appropriations by
commercial clubs. L will be recalled
that Marshalitown avoided the PROPOSE
ton much 10 the disgrunllenent o:
the secretary OF the Davenport Com
mercial GLIB. The legislature took the
view that It should not reconsider the
action OF previous session at the
command OF committee and while
giving much refused 10 entirely cover
the budget created by that commit
tee But that doesn't necessarily make
a 3o-cent legislature. The indictment
is faulty.

money than the time because they
need it more.
Nevertheless the thought is in line
with modern tendency which is to
take heed of the man whose labor is
personal service. 1t is an evidence that
the brotherhood idea is gaining ground.
However, the shortening of the la
boring days of the week by making one
working day a holiday isn't the best
way of helping the man who works
days to the year isn't in line with
thrift. The iceman's day as regards its
hours is one thing-he nor any other
man should be forced to work over
hours-but his week is another. Steady
labor six properly graduated days in
the week never hurt any man in good

the chance TO work full time for full
