A MEETING MARCH @, FOR BOYS
AND GIRLS CLUBS OF THE
COUNTY

Prof. Bishop of Ames will be at
the Court House, Saturday, March 6
for the purpose of interesting the
boys and girls of the county, their
teachers and parents in this work.
This will also be interesting to the
women's clubs and all house-keepers

and Fruits by the "cold pack" hot
water bath" and steam pressure"
methods of the home Ginning used
by the Iowa Girls Garden and Can
ming Clubs will be explained at this
time. Boys corn clubs and girls to-
mato clubs will be made a speciality
also the garden clubs. To pupils and
teachers of the city schools we give
an invitation to attend and get the
benefit of listening to Prof. Bishop
to help you carry on your work that
you have arranged for in your school
independent of therural county work
We hope you will come in large num-
bers and go home and organize strong
clubs.
Boys and girls with their teach
ers and all interested in the work
are expected. We are not able to
give the program of this meeting as
we did not get word in time that we
could have this date. There will
be others on the program.
We hope to see large attendance
from the srural schools. Boys and
girls from ten to eighteen years of
age can join these clubs. S-2w,

HERE AND THERE
A LETTER FROM CALIFORNIA

What do you think of this? The
gardner is making such a racket
cutting the grass on the lawn in
front of the house, with the window
open in my Office, that | had to go
out and tell him to transfer his ac-
tivities elsewhere before could
write this letter This is mid-winter
mind you, here in California and the
song birds are filling the air with
their songs, and the roses are in
bloom, and the soft green grass car
peting the ground, while you are
frozen stiff and will be for a couple
of months longer at the best. Every
time / think of the years that l have
spent fighting rotten weather condi-
lions it makes me go out of doors and
fill my lungs with the sweet soft air
of this wonderful climate and kick
myself that l did not know about it
twenty years ago. Freeze up, you
old bear, crack the icicfes off your
nose and eyelids, shovel the coal in
to the furnace and try to get it
through your CONCEALED system that
you are only going to be alive once,
and every day of sunshine and flow
I
one that you miss, is one. that you
will not be able to go back and get
again. Our home back there is on
the sales list, and the first chap that
comes along with anything like a
reasonable price to offer for it, gets
it, and our home will be here for the
rest of our lives. We had the big
storm" of the winter last week. 1t
was terrific on the ocean, and the tail
end of it whipped over the mount
aims from the sea, and we got what
the natives tell me was the limit in
these regions. The wind blew and
the rain poured, and it actually
hundred four times during the af-
ternoon and night, thereby break
ing the record. At least they said it
was thunder but it sounded to me
like fellow rolling a barrel over the
sidewalk. / wish some of these peo-
pie who have lived in this climate
all their lives, and do not realize
what they have, could go back east
and be present during one good real
old thunder storm and winter biz
card think If a genuine peal of
real old eastern brand of thunder,
the kind that we have whole days
of back there, ever let loose in Cal
| if~ssia half the natives would die
with heart failure. You know the
brand; when the earth rises up and
hits the sky a mighty whack that
splits it from end to end and a
million forks of fire dart out from
the remnants and for hours at q
time you could not hear your heav-
lest debtor yelling in your ear that
he would like to pay what he owed
you. The big storms of Atascadero
are jokes. AS for wind; they said
that this was a terrible wind storm
1t blew quite hard for some time
about as hard as it blows four times
a week as a regular diet back with

MAJOR Issues Orders to Police De-

iments On Sidewalks.
STANDS TO 60 IN THE SPRING
Lunch Wagons, Peanut Vending Ye~

In Highways Not Relicensed.

Mayor McConochie today issued Or
5ers 10 the police department which
will eventually mean that all side
walks, streets, avenues and alleys
within the next six months will be
freed Of all Instructions.
The order today included the re-
moval Of everything but lunch wagons,
peanut stands and shoe shining par
lors. These, however. the mayor an
pounced, would not be licensed next
May when their permits expire. Hay-
ing removed all other Instructions in
the meantime. the administration will
not have a large task cleaning up the
balance.
The order follows in the footsteps Of
the ordinance passed by the council
several weeks ago in which junk deal
ers were given five days to clean up
Twenty-fourth street OF old iron which
had been piled in the highway
The mayors order will mean the i'm
mediate removal Of barrels and beer
and pop cases from the sidewalks on
the side Of saloons and wholesale
houses It will also mean that the
grocerymen can no longer place their
vegetables, fruits and other produce Of
stock on the sidewalks in front Of
their stores for display.
Il will cause the removal also Of
many articles which had INSTRUCTED
sidewalks and roadways, PARTICULAR,
on the less frequented streets of thu
city, where owners Of manufacturing
plants have employed the walks ant
roadway for storage purposes because
Of the fact that there has been bu
little traffic on the streets.
TO AunuI Ordinance.
The administration intends follow
ing this up in the spring by refusing
10 license owners Of peanut stands
lunch wagons and shoe shining parlor
which are situated on the sidewalks o
roadways.
This will likely be accomphshe
through an ordinance making void tn
measure which provides for licens
fee for these enterprises,
The council is also considerin
another ordinance which will tend I
relieve congestion on the streets an
which likely will be taken up soon.
