PROTECT the QUAIL.

The Iowa Federation of Women's
clubs has aligned itself in favor Of the
live year closed season for quail and is
asking the newspapers to support the
protective measure which will soon
come before the assembly.
The T.-R. has often gone on record
as favoring a measure protecting quail
and other native game birds for a long
closed season. 1t believes that nine
farmers out Of ten and perhaps the
same proportion Of city voters favor
protecting quail for a five year period
or course that is speaking for northern
Iowa where the quail are scarce and
the little birds looked on more as bird
friends and destroyers Of noxious
weeds and insects than as a game bird.
In southern Iowa where the quail are
more plentiful i IS possible that diff
feren. sentiment exists but the proper
ton of those who desire the gentle. lit
tie bird saved from destruction 70
those who desire an open season will
Be found vastly the greater.

LUTHER BURBANK.

Luther Burbank. the author of the
cold-tempered onion and the invigor-

Massachusetts, sixty nine years ago to-
day. While yet boy he began to
show those remarkable traits of invent
i've genius which have made his name

Mr.. Burbank remained in the state
OF Massachusetts long enough 70 be-
come well acquainted with its MILD
winter climate. which used to settle in
his throat and linger until the follow
ing June. 1t was at this time that he
invented the hot Bermuda onion poul-
tice, which has proved such a blessing
to mankind and prevented thousands OF
proud. naughty Bostonians from mingl-
Ing In polite society. In 1875 Mr.. Bur-
bank decided that he would try some

to prime the pump every morning. noon

Mr.. Burbank is a living illustration Of
the fact that graft pays when il is

thing that grows on California soil ex-
cept the native grapefruit, which still
