(From a Staff Correspondent)
DES MOINES, Dec. . (Special.) Mem
ber of the State Board of Agriculture are
well pleased wild the fixing of date for
the Iowa state fair next year. Iowa has
lor laid claim to the last week of August
as Ita date for the state fair. Long ago It
wti thought necessary to have, tha fair
late In the rr and the early date was
not wanted. Iowa has had an early date
for many years and finds It profitable be
caiiM of a better chimes for good weather.
Secretary" Simpson and President Camemn
returned from the meeting In Chicago ye
tarday and ara preparing for tha annual
meeting of the stale board this week. The
action of the association at Chicago in
revising tha classification of live stock and
adopting a uniform on, meets with ap
proval In Iowa, for the classification
adopted la substantially that which Iowa
now has. only the Iowa fair la classified
eren further than that proposed.
Commencing on Tuesday the annual meet
ing of Iowa agricultural Interests will be
gin. The State Department of Agriculture
will aneet and there will be re-election of
officers and directors. It Is not anticipated
there will be any material change In man
agement or policy. The annual report will
show that the last state fair, despite two
very bad days, waa profitable and that
there fcas been a wise expenditure of the
money made. During the weak the corn
show win be in progress, also the annual
show of the Stats Horticultural society,
the meeting of that society and the Park
and Forestry association, the meeting of
the Iowa Com Growers' association, the
Corn Belt Meat Producers' association and
the Iowa Breeders' association. It will make
of the week the big one In Iowa agri
cultural lines.
Attorney Gewe-ral Is Praised;.
Attorney . General H. W. Byers has re
ceived with some pleasure notification of
the resolutions that were adopted by cer
tain clubs of business men In Council
Bluffs, commending him for his part In
the trial of the Dobbins case recently. The
West End Improvement club and the Fifth
Ward Improvement elub both passed reso
lutions thanking him for having taken part
In the ease on behalf of the state. It Is
understood that even soms of the attorney
general's personal frieads criticised him for
manifesting so much Interest in the case,
end It la gratifying to the rest of the state
to learn of the action taken. Ths attorney
general was drawn Into the case on the
direct request of the federal authorities,
who wanted hi mto appear there and per
sonally conduct the case.
laws Maun Stands Ha Skew.
Privately It is learned that there Is no
probability whatever of the selection uf
any. Iowa man for a place" on the United
F tries supreme bench. The action of the
local Bar association In having the name
of Judge Xeemer brought to the attention
of the president waa more as a compli
mentary matter than , otherwise, though
there la no doubt that ths bar recognizes
. Ms eminent fitness for the place. It is
stated, however, that In view of the fact
that the aged Judge Brewer Is on the
beaon -rpm.- tfco rJEisfcta district no oe
wi3 bo taken from" this district to fin ths
vacancy.
,saa Hauatle t iiTei,
Governor Carroll has received a number
of letters Approving his suggestion of - a
Chang In the Iowa laws to permit making
the ; highways narrower ' than at present.
One' correspondent baa figured it out that
at least 400.09 acres of land could thus be
redeemed. The plan la to have an the
lane made narrow and not permit the
r"kl"a of highways which grow up to
weeds.

Criticism of the state laws on the score
that they have been so thoroughly re
formed that It Is Impossible for a farmer
to convert his apples Into elder and vine
gar without danger of being fined, meets
with a rebuke at the state house. It was
recently stated In a southeastern Iowa
paper that thousands of apples that had
been frost bitten ware permitted to go to
wants because the orchard is ts feared to
make cider and vinegar. It la explained
by the pure food department that all the
trouble which has come to farmers on
tha vinegar question Is because of an ef
fort to market the cider vinegar before
It is ripe. In mKhy Instances farmers have
converted their elder Into vinegar and
then have sold It while It was still an un
finished product and contains a too small
per cent of acetic acid. But there has
never been any trouble for farmers who
have rosily converted their eider Into
vinegar.

NEW IDEA JN CALENDARS

In its calendars for 110 the Union Pa
cific railroad, through . Its advertising
agent. Robert A. Smith, has strayed some
what from the stereotyped paths of the
calendar writer. The- big change In the
Union Pacific calendars Is in the method
of designating holidays.
The usual monthly chart has the holidays
designated by the figuria, usually In some
brightly colored Ink, .to attract attention.
The Union Pactfta advertising-: agent has
cancelled the date entirely and instead of
designating the birthday of the Savior by
the figures IS. has ' printed the words
"Christmas Day" on the calendar. In like
manner New Years day, the glorious
Fourth and Thanksgiving" day.' are repre
sented. The result Is a calendar, still bear
ing the well-known shield of the Union Pa
