lay blame on him for her depleted
wardrobe, nor that she never ap.
peared in public. Until of late the
children had not entered into hel
thoughts in this connection. 1t
had not occurred to her that they
took note of her appearance.
1t was Clementine who aroused
her to the fact that they not only
noted her appearance but that
they also disapproved of her
course. Since the new order of
things between them the child
talked freely expressing herself
without fear.
Mrs. Morton was at school this
afternoon" she said one evening,
and she has the beautifulest new
dress. The girls all think she is so
pretty and she is pretty in her
new dress. / wish you would get a
new dress, Mama, real pretty
one. You are lots nicer looking
than Mrs. Morton"
A few days later while they were
at supper one evening Allen said:
Madam Calve is coming to the
city next week. Let us all go in
some evening and hear her sing.
They say she is wonderful"
''But Allen, Zoe began the old
excuse Of having nothing to wear.
But she did not finish. After a
pause she said quietly: "Well,
we'll see." Allen and the children
looked up in amazement. They
did not understand the new Zoe.

Fifteen Years Ago

On February 10th at 9 a. m.
Fordson tractor No. 100000 left
the assembly line in the Fordson
plant at Dearborn, Michigan,
slightly less than two and one-half
years after number one was COM
pleted. And here again has Henry
Ford set new high record in the
manufacture of farm tractors via
the quantity production route.
Although the Ford interests are
very recent entrants in the ranks of
the tractor Manufacturers, yet
Henry Ford really built a tractor
--of the steam type before he start
ed work on his first gas car. And
incidentally, that tractor and the
first car, still in very good running
condition, and MIR. Ford occasion
ally demonstrates both to visitors
at his farm in Dearborn.
Some fifteen years ago Mr.. Ford
began work on what has come to
be the Fordson. This tractor was
really a Ford car equipped with
special wheels and included, of
course, some mechanical changes.
By 1908 he had a workable tractor;
it plowed, narrowed, and did much
other work on the farm. Then en-
sued nine more years of experiment
tai work before the first tractor was
put on the market.
Fordson tractors are now being
assembled at rate OF $50 daily at
Dearborn, 100 at the St. Louis AS
sembling plant, and it is estimated
that within short time the Des
Moines branch will be in operation.
There is also an assembling plant
in Cork, Ireland.

A Proclamation

To the People of Iowa: The air
is again filled with the fragrance of
young life. The springtime season
is here. Beauty in newness meets
the eye everywhere.
The stately and aged giants o
the forest have. reused themselves
from the slumber of winter and
with bud and blossom announce
again their perpetual life and use
fulness. They teach a lesson of
activity and utility.
Trees are bot utilitarian and or
namental. They were the pro-
tector of the pioneer, and are the
necessity of present and future gen.
erations. He who plants and nur-
lures tree, has left an estate for
the children of tomorrow; and on
the other hand, he who destroys a
tree without putting another in its
place, has robbed the children of
tomorrow of gift nature intended
for them.
AS "a people and a State, we have
been wasteful and destructive of
natures gift in tree and forest un-
til today there is not enough left to
properly and adequately house our
people and supply their needs. Can
we afford longer to continue our
present inaction toward the prob
lem of replenishing the trees and
forests of our State? The problem
is so vital not alone to ourselves,
but to the future of our country,
that we should act. Every citizen
and every organization within the
State should have some part in
planting trees this Sprlngtime, and
especially is this true Of the boys
and girls in the schools.
Permit this one suggestion, that
each community plant a tree, or
trees, as a memorial to the soldiers
who gave their lives in the late
war. Let this planting be done
with appropriate exercise, and, if
possible, with ex-service men
present. Let record be made of
the event and someone be appoint
ed to nurture and care for the
tree, or trees, thus planted.
By doing this, lessons of patriot
ism will be taught; the memory OF
sacrifice made will have living
monument and our debt to the flu
ture will be acknowledged and in
part paid.
THEREFORE,, |, w. l.. Hard
ing, Governor Of the State of Iowa,
do proclaim Friday, April 80, 1920,
. Arbor Day, to be observed through
out the State by all the people by
the planting OF trees.
In testimony whereof, l have
hereunto set my hand and caused
to be affixed the great seal of the
state of Iowa.

First American Composer.

Judge Francis. Hopkinson, signer Of
the Declaration of independence, jur-
ist, inventor, artist, poet, essayist,
scholar, organist, composer and first
graduate of the class of 1857 of the
University of Pennsylvania, is known
as the first American composer. Judge
Hopkinson was especially noted as a
composer of fetching songs for the
harpSichord. Ii 1873 he published sew
en- songs dedicated to his friend,
George Washington. In the quaint fash
ion of his day, he wrote: However
small the Reputation may be that ]
derive from this Work, cannot, I
believe, be refused the Credit of be-
ing the first Native Of the United
States who has produced Musical
Composition. If this attempt be not
too severely treated, others may be
encouraged to venture on a path yet
untrodden in America, and the Arts
in succession will take root and -four

Our country approaches two notable
dates in its history.
Philadelphians have already begun
to talk about a great international
celebration for 1926 to commemorate
the one hundred and fitch anniver-
sary of independence.
But next year comes still more
historic birthday. 1t will be 300 years
next November since the pilgrims land

Philadelphia Press.
People refer constantly to them as
the "Pilgrim Fathers" but as Roland

of the 1O2 persons who came over
in the Mayflower, only nine had

Thirty-nine were children and there
were 10 grownup women, one of whom
was unmarried. AS there were 20
bachelors .on board the Mayfower,
that lone maiden probably was never

Mr.. Gosiinqton Finds He Has Com

in the Next Room.

NINE" said Mr.. Goslington, "begins to
sing as soon as he gets up. He has
slept well, he feels refreshed, the
whole world looks bright to him, and
he has now pleasurable anticipations
Of breakfast He feels impelled to
sing and he does sing.
"Not loudly he is very thoughtful.
he doesn't want to disturb anybody;
he sings softly to himself and he
thinks that nobody else can hear him.
But at that hour, in the general still
ness, his soft singing comes to me as
plainly and is quite as disturbing as
the humming of bee.
Sometimes he whistles in tones
soft and low, meant to be fiutelike.
and he enjoys his own whistling as
much as-he does his own singing, and
he thinks that nobody can hear it, but
upon me his intended-to-be low, flute
like tones have the same effect as the
sharp notes Of a fife and they wake
me as surely.
''One Of the finest things in the
world is a cheerful spirit. The cheer
full man is help to everybody with
whom he comes in contact. But might
it not be said of cheerfulness, as Of
many another good thing, that it is
possible to have too much of it?
Ear be it from me to wish that
some great grief might descend upon
my cheerful neighbor, but I do wish
he wouldn't turn on his cheerfulness
so early in the morning."

CLING 70 OLD OBSERVANCE
People of Normandy Today, as for
Centuries, Delight In Their Little
Epiphany Cakes.

Norman cities and towns that have
for centuries perpetuated their quaint
observance of the Epiphany bake and
eat their little cakes with joyful
hearts. The custom is ancient and
charming, an affair of children and
colored lanterns parading the streets
of ancient towns and singing an an
cient song in piping voices; and where
they go, well-disposed citizens open
their doors and distribute cakes. Ex-
cept in few places the custom has
gradually gone out, but here and there
it continues, and carries with it the
odd and interesting history of the
Epiphany cakes. French bakers and
pastry cooks began making them at
least Ias long ago as 100, and in those
days the family that bought cake ate
of it and gave part of it to the chill
dren when they came singing the song
that has now become ancient. In lIl3,
says the record, there was great dls-
pute between the bakers and the pas
try cooks as to which had the right to
bake the Epiphany cakes; the grave
question was taken to the parliament
of Paris, which, after proper delibera-
ton, decided in favor Of the pastry
cooks. In 1740, one does not know
why, the privilege was taken away
from the pastry cooks and given the
bakers. Then in the time of the first
republic the festival was abolished; a
decree of the seventeenth Nivose,
year II, by which the revolutionary
determination for change designated
January 6, 1894. declared that the Gus
tom ,eommemorated the memory of the
"%ldst tyrant," Louis XVI. In 1901 the
: festival and the cakes were legally
restored, and so the custom comes
down, here and there, into the TWEEN
tieth century.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment Of Agricultural
Farmers lose millions of dollars an
nually from bad methods of produc-
ing and handling eggs. One-third Of
this loss is preventable, because it
is due to the partial Matching of fer
tile eggs which have been allowed to
become warm enough to begin to in
cubate.
The rooster makes the egg fertile.
The fertile egg makes the blood ring.
You can save the money now lost from
blood rings by keeping the male bird
from your flock after the Matching
season is over.
The rooster does not help the hens
to lay. He merely fertilizes the germ
Of the egg. The fertile germ in hot
weather quickly becomes blood ring,
which spoils the egg for food and
market. Summer heat has the same
effect on fertile eggs as the hen or
incubator.
After the Matching season cook, sell,
or pen your rooster. Your hens not
running with a male bird will produce
infertile eggs-quality eggs that keep
best and market best.
Rules for handling eggs on the
farm: Heat is the great enemy OF
eggs, both fertile and infertile. Farm
ers are urged to follow these simple
rules, which cost nothing but time and
thought and will add dollars to the
poultry yard returns: ~
l. Keep the nests clean; provide
one nest for every four hens.
2. Gather the eggs twice daily.
8. Keep the eggs in q cool, dry
room or cellar.
4. Market the eggs at least twice
a week.
5. Sell, kill, or confne all male
birds as soon as the Matching season
Is over.
