Some of Waterloos resourceful and
public spirited citizens have found a
use for the tin can--that much de-
spised and apparently unmitigated
nuisance whose disposal often presents
a serious civic problem. They have
made flower pots of them and planted
red geraniums in them, so that row
instead Of marring the back yard they
decorate the front doorway and form
beauty spot rather than an eyesore.
And when the cans are painted or
wrapped in crepe paper they make a
very presentable flower pot. The idea

IOlWA'S SONG BIRDS.

lAlloH 1|clIloCldlJ
Iowa used to be a prairie state, now
it is one vast park. The desire OF
Iowans to provide shelter and to beau
tify their homes prompted the plant
ing of groves everywhere, which are
now Isolated forests. They not only
add to the landscape, but afford shelter
for the innumerable birds which at
this time render the state a great song
garden. Early In May you may hear
all over Iowa the incompatible song Of
the thrush, the musical ditty Of the
wren and the cheerful chirping Of
robins and meadow larks. No song
sters compare with these, whose
throats are unspoiied Of the music
master and whose tones carry natures
sweetest melodies. The musical art
ists' would have you think that the
rendition Of the great songs is only

GOOD MILK: DIRTY MILK.
Waterloo Courier


A citizen has called attention to the
fact that often in the bottom of bot
ties cor tanning milk there is found a
quantity Of sediment. sometimes as
much as a spoonful in each container.
Even little Of these deposits in the
family milk supply. intended for the
table use. is too much. This citizen
calls further attention to the fact that
in the instance he specifically com
plains Of the milk is rated as good
and the consumer is left up in the air
as just what to do about it.
Undoubtedly the milk is-"good," but
If the consumer should happen to
swallow a portion Of the barn refuse
that is allowed to collect In the bot
ties. he might characterize the whole
mess as far from good.
There seems only one remedy in a
case like this. Do not purchase any
more ofathat particular brand Of milk.

PREPAREDNESS MEN WANTED.

tCedar Rapids Gazette.]
The Des Moines Capital has been a
rampant preparedness advocate. Its
managing editor promised the Chicago
Tribune to do anything in his personal
power to manage the preparedness
demonstration at any point in Iowa.
Now the Capital, confronted by pos
stbilities of preparation, is soft pedal
ing. That paper does not know how
the state Is to secure six Thousand
more militiamen to fill it's quota. The
state will need $4,000 more men to fill
Its militia quota and 5000 to fill its
quota in the regular army.
Preparedness must be made a local
, issue. The work cannot be done in the
clouds. The men to put on the uniform
| must be flesh and blood; they must live

they will be compelled to leave, ambi-

WHICH END OF THE POKER?
D1,,eec


More than one-h half Of the candidates
who have refused to commit them
sBlves are known as drys. If one-half
Of the non committed candidates be
added to the drys and one-half to the
VETS the figures would stand: 2lo
drys and seventy vets. This Is with
out question a pretty fair estimate Cf
the sentiment of Iowa voters on this
issue. Seventy-fve per cent 0f our
people favor a saloonless state while
not more than % per cent would go
back to the old order.
1t Is pertinent to inquire IN this con-
nection where the republicans are go
ing to find themselves IL they take the
hot end of the poker which the demo-
Gratis have handed them. The demo-
Gratis have frankly recognized the over
Whelming sentiment OF the state and
have put forward as candi date a
man who has courageously stood for a
dry state. If out of four candidates
the republicans elect to place on their
ticket a man whose record is more than
half wet and who does not nave the
courage to declare himself either way,
can they complain If the rank and file
refuse to stand for the program?

Commercial Club Members

There were 40 Count 'em, 4O) bust.
ness men who responded to the call
for the meeting Of the Commercial
club rooms Thursday evening. l. j.
Moe presided, and the matter of dues
was decided by voting to make the
membership fee $40 for 1916. This
includes all dues to Jan. !, 1917. 1t
is estimated that membership we'll
over the 100 mark can easily be Sc
cured, and this will pay the necessary
running expenses of the club and give
them a nice working capital.
There are several propositions to
engage the energy and activity of the
club but for the present the all-absorb-
ing topic is roads. This is to be push
ed for all it is orth, and every bit Of
evidence goes to show that it is worth
considerable.
The main thing in connection with
the meeting was the spirit that was
manifested. Our guess is that from
now on the members intend to be up
on their toes and striving for results.
The lax attitude that has been appar.
ent at times in the past will be super.
seeded by activity and business meth

Mrs. Briggs Drowned
at Wisconsin Home

The following account of the death
of Mrs. E. H. Briggs is from tele-
graphic dispatches of the last of May:
While fishing off the pier a few
yards in front of her cottage at Della
van lake, Mrs. E. H. Briggs lost her
balance and was drowned at about
$3.50 o'clock this morning. It is be-
lieved that Mrs. Briggs either slipped
or suffered a sudden spell of weak
ness which rendered her unconscious
for a moment.
Mrs. Briggs was missed almost i'm
mediately by er daughter, who was
busy in the cottage at the time, and
an immediate search was instituted.
Her body was found at the foot of the
pier and was in the water but a few
minutes. Strenuous attempts were
made to resuscitate her, but were of
no avail. A pulmotor owend by the
Delavan lake association for use in &C.
cidents of this kind was rushed to the
cottage and doctors called from Della
van. Although efforts were directed
for an hour and half toward reviving
her, they failed.
The Briggs cottage is located near
Jacksonville park. The family was
accustomed to move out from Della
van to the lake early each spring and
remain at the water side until late
in the fall.
Mrs. Briggs was about so years of
age and had lived in Delavan for the
past five or six pears. She is survived
by three daughters, Misses Elizabeth
and June, who were at home at the
time of her drowning, and Ruth, who
is teacher of domestic science in the
Milwaukee schools. Mrs. Briggs is al.
so survived by her husband, who re-
sides at Valley City, N. D.
