GET NEW CERTIFICATES.
Iowa Stallion Certificates Should BE
willis. Renewed Now.

State certificates of enrolment
and scundness of stations and a,hs
expired December 81, 1914, and
must be renewed before April /,
1915
The opening of the horse breeding
season will soon be at hand. Last
year a number of stallion owners
were compelled to withhold their
animals from the stand, nor were
they able to offer them for sale or
transfer the first part of the season,
inasmuch as they neglected to file
their applications until the last two
weeks of the renewal period. If at
tcntion is given to this matter at an
early date the work can be carried on
more promptly and eXpeditiously in
the Office Of the department of agri-
culture. Applications will be inspect
eG on the same day as received and
ii found satisfactory state certificates
can be issued without any delay.

WOMEN WORK FOR
BETTER HOMETOWN.

THE "Parlor" variety of civic worker
! is rapidly becoming obsolete in
the ranks of hundreds of women's
clubs throughout the land, where the
members have taken up the practical
altruistic work of the "Clean Up and
Paint Up campaign.
Mrs. Clarence Baxter. Kirksville,
Mo-, chairman of the Women's Com.
mittee of the National "Clean Up and
Paint Up Campaign Bureau, is help
ing women everywhere to accomplish
what she accomplished in Kirksville
last year, thorough furnishing up Of
the entire town. Mrs. Baxter is also
chairman of the civic and health de-
partment of the Missouri Federation
Of Women's Clubs, and vice chairman
Of the civics department of the Gen.
eral Federation Of Women's Clubs.
She writes in circular letter:
Many people spend hundreds of
dollars on the furnishings of their
houses, and only an occasional caller
gets to admire them. A much smaller
amount spent in coat of paint for
the exterior, for general cleaning of
the grounds and few flowers, would
give pleasure to these callers, as we'll
as to thousands Of passersby.'
Mrs. E. T. Senseney, prominent in
.ultra.society circles, forced every res
taurant owner and merchant dealing
III food articles In St Louis to clean
up as an aftermath Of the campaign
there.
Yes, here is mighty good oppor-
tunity for the women to get busy and
do something for the community
which they are fitted to do better
than the men, and which is more i'm
