Elks Enjoy Open House.

The Decorah lodge OF Elks held
their annual open house on New
Years day. The doors of the club
room were opened at ten o'clock in
the morning, and about 10 members
gathered to enjoy the day, and es-
pecially the big banquet which was
served at $50. The chairman of
the program committee was Marshal
#. c. Johnson, and the generous ban
|quet table he and his assistants pro-
vided gave him a high mark as a
cOnnossier of good viands. Seven
kinds of meat, turkey, chicken, duck
and goose, roast pork and beef, sau-
sages, etc. besides vegetables from
the sunny south and many other
tempting viands were on the bill. No
king ever sat down to a better meal,
and the big marshal had boquets
thrown at him from all corners of
the banquet room.
Exalted Ruler DR.. C. l.. Topliff
presided as toastmaster and called
upon Past Exalted Ruler Walter
Curtin for a few words and Mr..
Curtin delivered them in his usual
happy manner. Others who were
called upon and who poured forth
volumes of eloquence were Atty. E.
p Shea, H. Engbretson, Ex-Super-
visor G. A. Meyer, Of Calmar and
Otto Gunderson, of Ossian. Mr.. Gun
derson treated the banQueters to a
number of good stories and rendered
an Italian song. which elected much
applause. 1t was perhaps one of the
most enjoyable open house programs
the Elks ever put on.

TRADE MARK FOR
iowa BUTTER
Shortly After First of the Year
Trademark for Best Grade
Butter Will he Put in
Operation,
DESIGN WILL APPEAR
ON ALL PACKAGES
Housewives and Butter Buyers in
General Who Wish to Purchase
This Butter Should Look
for Trade-marked
Product.

Shortly after the first of the year,
the trademark for the best grade of
Iowa butter will be put into opera
ton. The trademark was created
by the 36th General Assembly 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
lis manufactured from the finest
lcream and under strict sanitary re-
lquirements will bear the trademark.
The product of the various creameries
using the mark will be inspected
from time to time at the Dairy De-
partment of the Iowa State College
at Ames, and the inspection of the
creameries will be made periodically
by the State Dairy Inspectors work
ling under the direction of w. B.
Barney, Dairy and Food Commission
er.
The rigid inspection of the butter
and its method of manufacture will
insure product of the very highest
standard. No butter that is in any
way off flavor or about which there
lis. any question as to it's purity and
healthfulness will be permitted to
hear the trademark. The mark will,
therefore, be virtually guarantee
that the butter has been inspected
land passed by the state DAIRY ex-
lperts.
Already creameries with an :. ag-
gregate output of one and one-half
million pounds annually have applied
for permission to use the trademark
on their product. The State Dairy
Inspectors are now engaged in MAX
ing a most careful inspection of these
creameries in order to determine
whether or not they meet the neces-
sary requirements for the use Of the
mark.
The design which will appear on
all packages of the trademark but
ter consists of lighter circle within
q larger, heavier circle; within the
inner circle is an outlined map of
this state, bearing the words, Iowa
Butter;' the words First Quality
and 'State Butter Control also ap-
pear within the circle.
There are about 90,000,000 lbs.
of good creamery butter produced in
Iowa each year, most of which finds
it's way to eastern markets. The state
still stands behind this product and
the use of the trademark will be
|conflned only to such portions of the
product as can meet the more exact
ing requirements.
Housewives and butter buyers in
general who wish to purchase this
butter of the very highest quality
should look for the trade-marked
product as soon as it appears on the
market. The trademark will guar
antee excellence, purity, and serve as
la protection against inferior grades
of butter manufactured to meet con-
petition. The trademark is fully
protected by United States Patent
Laws, and it's use is in charge Of
board of state dairy experts.

On Trip TO Great Falls.

Geo. Mizener departed yesterday
on a business trip to Great Falls,
Mont, and will look over the coun-
try, with view of locating there, if
he finds anything to his liking. We
wouldn't be surprised to hear Of him
and A. E. Kenyon indulging in u
little game of horseshoe before his
return. They are both experts and no
doubt could show the Montana pitch
ers few points about the game.

Chinese Girls i'm Peking Hear About
American Women.

d
Miss May Hu, q teacher In the
Girls Boarding School in Foochow,
China. was last year granted fur
Tough after nine years of service. She
spent the time in Peking where she
has friends and relatives who are also
Christians. While here she had a
fine opportunity to visit the govern
ment schools for girls, as one of her
cousins is connected officially with
educational work. AS Miss Hu had
spent three years in Simpson college,
Indianola, and one in Folt's Institute,
New York, she, was invited to talk
to the students about America. Her
theme was often, what the American
women have been doing for the
world. Hundreds of girls and wo-
men heard this for the first time,
and they were intensely interested.
Some of them sighed and said, BE
cause China used to despise girls,
therefore the Chinese women have
become SO useless to the world"
But many of them said, Hereafter
we will try to do something for 9TH
ers in our own land and later for
other countries too"

The merchants attitude toward
advertising is just the same. In the
old days store could do q good bus:-
ness without it. But today a store
that doesn't advertise, seems as much
out Of; the spirit OF the age as .he
store with old-fashioned windows
