The iron wheels of Progress would rust and
decay,
For nothing Can prosper-nay, nothing can live
Without manly labor to carry the day
All honest labor is noble and good.
1t lightens the hearts while the journeymen
plod.
A guard to our virtue, balm to our souls,
IT'S surely blessing received straight from
God
It never disgraces it always exalts,
And grants to each son his full measure of
peace.
It rids us of Poverty, Envy and Vice,
And wrapped in it's arms, all our vexations
cease
No living soul is exempt from its ranks
More powerful than Capital, it moulds the real
man.
The flower of true Knighthood it springs from
the SOIL
Refreshing our vision as nothing else can.
So march along, working1nan! Cheerily march.
The whole world depends upon you for its life.
While battles are raging and Death takes his toll,
just stick to your last-it may shorten the
strife.
The ring of your anvil the sweat of your brow,
Are God given graces most fair to behold.
So bare your strong arm, brother; tune up your
voice
With work in his heart, Man can never grow old,

Orchids Bloom at Ames.

/ It's orchid time at Ames.
Ddlicately muMicolored and in
shapes quantity bizarre, the 100 orchid
plants purchased recently by the Iowa
State college green house with the
money made by students in their plant
propagation work, have begun to
bloom after three months coddling.
1t has taken John Reardon, college
green house man, and his fatherly
coaXing, to finally induce the fastidi.
Gus flowers of the king" to bloom.
Last July 100 plants were bought
from New York with the money made
iby, the students, including varieties
from Brazil and Mexico. They will be
lused" for class instruction work. Their
thigh price is due to the man sized diff.
Ificulty which accompanies their col.
Election. To obtain several of the South
American species it is necessary to
travel by steamer 1000 miles to the
navigation head of the Amazon, then
by canoe to the shallow tributaries
and then for several hundred miles by
mule to the inland jungles. The or
chids are found high up on trees of
the species of arbor vita. These must
be carefully packed in fern roots for
shipment.
One of the Mexican specie now in
bloom at the college green house is
nicknamed the baby" orchid because
of it's peculiar bloom formation, part
Of which exactly resembles baby,
even to eye and nose delineation.
The orchid blooms will be sold at
the college for 75c and S1.O0 apiece.

IF I did not believe that the

Of true progress, which was pre-

should have no pride in repre-

coin is reunited today and we
consecrate it to the ideals Of
Lincoln, and those ideals are,
permanent. These are the ideals
of the success of the plain peo-a
