MarHeIs of Teak Mood.

Teak is one of the most valuable and
interesting of woods. Teak logs when
first cut will not float. 1t is strangely
and Enthusiastically scented. of oily
texture, and the surface feels greasy
to the touch. The oil Is considered to
resist the entrance of water into the
wood and to prevent the wood becom
ing water soaked after it has once been
thoroughly seasoned. Teak darkens
with age, and finally, after number
of years becomes almost black.
The principal use Of teak is in ship
building. especially for decking and
as backing for armour plate. Its dur
ability and lack OF corrosive effect on
steel make it particularly suitable for
the latter purpose. Teak has been used
to some extent for gun carriages. but
is not now considered well adapted for

e. r. Meredith Being Grooned.as SEN

Refusal of Marsh and Meredith to
Get Into Gubernatorial Race.

Des Moines Feb. Sc. T. Meredith
Of Des Moines, to defeat Senator Cum
Minis in 1920; W. ". Marsh, Of Water
loo, for vice president of the United
States.
That is the reason friends Of both
men declare, why neither is willing
to be the democratic state standard
bearer in the Iowa gubernarortal CAM
paign this year. Events are so shap-
ing themselves in indicate that such is
the political ambition OF both men,
who have been so frequently mentioned
during the past year as the next demo
cratic candidate for governor.
Mr.. Meredith has confided his de-
sire to his friends. He believes he
can defeat the present senior senator
from Iowa when the latter comes up
for reelection four years hence. Other
reasons have been assigned for Mere
dith's refusal to enter the gubernator-
hal race. The chief among them is the
fact that he is a member Of the federal
reserve bank board.
Two years ago Meredith had sena-
torid ambitions and tried to face SEN
ator CumIntns In the race for the sem

however, succeeded IN securing the
nomination
Regarding the Marsh boom, II it can
be called such. for the vice presi-
dency, certain state leaders at the
meeting Of the state central commit
tee here Tuesday broached the subject
to Marsh Just before the conference
ended. Marsh refused to take the
idea seriously until cornered by Charles
Walsh Of the Sixth district. Walsh,
be It remembered was campaign man
ager in Iowa for william Randolph
Hearst when the we'll known publisher
aspired to be president. Here was
Walsh's argument:
Vice President Marshall won't get
the nomination again. President Will
son IL sure to be the democratic nom
fnee for president The party must
turn to the west for a candidate for
vice president And look around!
There Is J. Ham Lewis, Of Illinois, but
he fs q BIT too howery for the place.
Who else is there? None other than
Mr.. Marsh. So why not Marsh"

Very few white men who ever had
anything to do with the Indians OF
the Iowa country were more popular
with the redskins than was Joseph M.
street. who was at different times the
United States government agent for
the Sac and Fox Indians and the
"innebagoes. 1.-THE year 1888 saw the
establishment OF the FIRST government
agency within the present boundaries
of Iowa." says Miss Ruth A. Gallagher
in an article published by the State
Historical Society Of Iowa. The Sac
and Fox Indians moved westward in
accordance with the treaty of Oct. FL.
1887, and in 1888 their agent, Joseph
NJ. Street, who had been transferred
from the Winnebago agency at Prairie
du Chen, established the Sac and Fox
agency, near what is now Agency
City. The necessary buildings were
erected and in 1899 Agent Street
moved his family to the new center, but
died the following year. So beloved
was he among the Indians that when
Chief Wapello died in 1912. he re-
Quested that he be buried near his
white friend"
