ELks HAVE RARE EMBLEM.
Head Of Animal Shot by Buffalo Bill
Owned by Newton Lodge.

Newton, Dec. 29.--Many people have
remarked about the unusually fine elk
head specimen that Is placed above the
exalted rulers chair In the local Elk
lodge. but very few know that 1t has
an interesting history. According to
the statements made by some Of the
members Of the lodge, it's story Is as
follows:
That elk was shot by Buffalo Bill
When he was on hunting trip in Mon
tana in the early 90s. Because 1t was
such an unusually fine specimen he had
1t mounted and presented it to the
president of the G. b. and Q. Railroad
Company. This gentleman had It
placed In his private office.
His young secretary often admired
the head and the antlers, so when the
railroad president became i'll and re-
tired he gave the elk head to his Sec
rotary.
This secretary is cousin to Mrs.
Will Carrier of this city. He visited
the Carriers soon after the new Elks
home was dedicated, and thinking that
his, coveted bit Of property really
should be placed in an Elks hall, he
offered it to the local lodge.
That is how it happens that the
Newton ElSs have that rare speciman
of an Elk's he'll on the wall of their
lodge room. They are justly proud of 1t.

| Des Moines, Dec. 29.-Shortly after
the first OF the year, the trademark for
the best grade Of Iowa butter will be
put into operation. The trademark was
created by: the Thirty sixth general as
sembly for the purpose Of branding the
first quality Iowa butter with a mark
| which would enable the housewife or
large buyer in distinguishing first
quality table butter from the various
grades offered for sale. Only such
butter as is manufactured from the
finest cream and under strict sanitary
requirements will bear the trademark.
The product Of the various creameries
using the mark will be inspected from
time to time at the dairy department
Of the Iowa state College at Ames, and
the inspection Of the creaineries. will
be made periodically by the state dairy
inspectors working under the direction
OF w. B. Barney, dairy and food COM
missioner.
The rigid inspection of the butter
and its method OF manufacture will in
sure product of the very highest
standard. No butter that is in any
way off flavor or about which there is
any question as to it's purity and
healthfulness will be permitted to bear
the trademark. The mark will, there
fore, be virtually guarantee that the
butter has been inspected and passed
by the state dairy experts.
Many creameriss Apply.
Already creameries with an aggre-
EualIy have applied for permission to
use the trademark on their product.
The state dairy inspectors are now
engaged in making a most careful in
spection of these creameries in order
to determine whether or not they meet
the necessary requirements for the use
Of the mark.
The design which will appear on ali
packages of the trademark butter con-
sists of lighter circle within larger.

Gle is an outlined map Of this state
bearing the words, iowa Butter; the
words First Quality and Estate But
ter Control also appear within the
circle.
There are about 100000 pounds Of
good creamery butter produced in Iowa
each year, most Of which finds its way
to eastern markets. The state still
stands behind this product and the use
of the trademark will be confined only
to such portions of the product as can
meet the more exacting requirements.
The trademark will guarantee excel
lence, purity, and serve as q protection
against inferior grades Of butter manu-
featured to meet competition. The
ademark lis fully protected by United
States patent laws, and its use is in
charge Of board Of state dairy ex-
perts.
