Their Own
State.

TO MAKE IT ANNUAL

Friday, October 20, has been desig-
mated as Iowa day. The state super
intendent of public instruction has
issued request to the public schools
of Iowa asking them to observe this
day with an appropriate program In
the course of which the pupils may
be told something of Iowa's interest
ing history. of her development, OF
her present resources, of the position
she occupies amongst the group OF
states and Of the wonderful oppor-
tunities that are now knocking at
her door.
The suggestion has been endorses
by the Greater Iowa association and
the story of what Iowa accomplished
at the worlds fair in San Francisco
last year has been sent to every
school teacher together with a brief
resume Of the efforts that are being
made along all lines toward the
achievement of greater Iowa.
Urges Observance Annually.
"The observance of Iowa day
should be an annual event" urges the
secretary of the Greater Iowa asso-
citation. 1.-The students in our schools
learn a great deal concerning the MIS-
tory of the United States and the his.
tory of the world, but they are taught
very little more about Iowa than that
it's area comprises fifty-six thousand
SQUARE miles, that it is rolling
prairie country, grows corn with rea-
sonable success and produces consid-
cradle live stock. They should be
told the story of the early pilgrim
ages of Marquette and Joliet; they
should know the romantic story OF
Julien Dubuque, the first white settler
in Iowa, and his association with the
Indians; the coming of Gaillard, Tes-
con, LeClaire and Colonel Davenport
all pioneers. Iowa history is re-
plete with instances of which the
children love to hear.
one Billion Dollars a Year In Crops.
"Our school children should know
that Iowa is the only state In the
union the products OF whose fields
approximate q billion dollars a year
or one hundred million dollars a
month. They should be told that one
of the largest steel freight car manu-
factories in the United States Is In
Iowa and that it is even now build
ing four thousand cars for the Rus
sian government; that there Is fac.
tory in Iowa making farm tractors ior
China and Australia and South
Africa; that Iowa-made gasoline en-
gines have been pumping the water
out of the blood-soaked trenches OF
Europe for the past two years; that
Iowa-built locomotives were used IN
the construction of the Panama canal
and that they haul trains through the
rice fields of Japan.
How many pupils in our schools
or grown folks, for that matter-have
any conception of Iowa's scenic
beauty? How many know that Iowa
has the lowest percentage of litter
acy and the gerater per capita wealth
of any equal area in all the world?
"By ali means, let US have an Iowa
day every year; let us tell the chill
dren how fortunate they are to live
in Iowa. The children will tell the
old fnlks--and then we will have
achieved our greater Iowa"

BACKACHE
(By [. H. SMITH, M. D.)

(By L. H. SMITH, M. d.
In spite OF the best care one takes
Of oneself, any part Of the human ma
chine is liable to become out Of order.
The most important organs are the
stomach, heart and kidneys.
The kidneys are the scavengers and
they work day and night in separating
the poisons from the blood. Their sig
mails OF distress are eaily recognized
and include such symptoms as back
ache. depressions, drowsiness. irrita-
bility. headaches, dizziness, rheumatic
twinges, dropsy, govt,
The very best way to restore the
kidneys to their normal state is to
drink plenty Of pure water and obtain
small amount Of Anuric, which is
dispensed by most every druggist.
Anuric is inexpensive and should be
taken before meals. II Is much more
potent than lithia and many find that
Anuric, dissolves uric acid as water
does sugar.
People are realizing more and more
every day that the kidneys, just as do
the bowels, need to be flushed occa-
sionally. The kidneys are an elimina-
tive organ and ares constantly work
ing, separating the poisons from the
blood. Under this continual and per-
petual action they are apt to congest,
and then trouble starts. Uric acid
backs up into the system, causing
rheumatism, neuralgia, dropsy and
many other serious disturbances. 1t
means that you are victim to uric
acid poisoning. Then ask your drug
gist for Anuric, which was first dis
covered by DR.. Pierce of the Surgi-
cal Institute in Buffalo, and which
is dispensed by nearly every drug
gist in the land Advertisement.

twelve states-Nebraska, Iowa, Mis-
souri,, South Dakota, Kansas, Colo
RADIO, Minnesota, Indiana, Ohio, Mich
igan and Massachusetts.
Entire carloads of birds are coming
iIOHl FTCIlOnt, Ncu Sdh, ld',, hcdi
ney, Falls City and other places.
Up to Thursday noon 297 Rhode
Island Reds have been entered. This
is the largest class so far.
F. L. Sewell, the renowned poultry
artist Of Niles, Mich, wires that he
will be in Omaha Monday morning
and be at the show for at least three
days before leaving for the big New
York City poultry show. Visitors will
have an opportunity to see Artist
Sewell at work sketching the prize,
winning birds.
The birds will reach Omaha on
Saturday and Sunday. A few will be-
gin to arrive on Friday. The judging
will begin early Monday morning and
the ribbons will all be in place by
Tuesday morning when the show is
thrown open to the public.

TRAFFIC BUREAU
IS SEEKING HELP
Says There Are Hundred Job
bers and Manufacturers Who
Should Aid in Work.
BUT FEW AS SUBSCRIBERS

About 100 jobbers and manufactur
ers in Omaha are "pikers' in the opm
ion of the governing committee o
the traffic bureau of the Commercial
club. That is, they are "pikers' II
that they haven't come into the circle
and helped stand the expense OF max
ing the fight for the last two years
for proper freight rates in Nebraska
No, the bureau does not use the
word "pikers" in addressing these lOl
iobbers and manufacturers, but 1t will
nevertheless write them a letter. II
wants to see them come in and throw
their bit in the general pot to. keep
UP the fight. Clarke Colt, chairman
OF the governing committee OF the
traffic bureau, and E. J. McVann, man.
ager of the bureau, are to address a
letter to these jobbers and point out
to them that certain jobbers and man
ufacturers in Omaha have been stand
ing all the expense of making a big
fight that is to be Of benefit to all.
Less Than Half Subscribe.
About fifty jobbers and manufac-
turers of Omaha are subscribers to
the bureau and are thus standing the
whole expense OF making this fight.
There are at least $50 jobbers and
manufacturers in Omaha shipping
under class rates that should take part
in this fight, according to members
Of the governing committee. The COM
mittee believes il is time for a gen.
eral awakening. :.
The Nebraska rate situation Is still
in q tangie and the bureau wishes to
hurry the untangling. The disposition
Of the railroads, as the bureau sees
il, Is to seek a readjustment of the
rates as between competing cities and
the territory they seek to cover, so
as to put it back to somewhere near
where it used to be, since the Inter
state Commerce commission has
thrown out the Nebraska rates Of
general order No. 19. The bureau
feels the necessity Of having this re-
adjustment made as soon IS possible,
and wishes to 60 to work and help in
