Hon. A. F. Dawson, former
Congressman from Iowa, is in
Washington to urge Congress to
use the United States arsenal at
Hoak Island to its full capacity,
claiming that it will result in n
saving of more than a million and
a half dollars to the government
j each year.
Secretary of agriculture Wilson
says that the increase in the volume
and value of agricultural products
of the I'nited States as the result
j of organized community work is
almost beyond the comprehension
of the average citizen. He cites as
i an example Scott county, Iowa, the
first to t'liiploy experts, iu which
the price of land averages $250 per
acre largely because of organized
community effort. It is urged by
him that the farmers of other coun-
ties should organize, employ a crop
expert, and take advantage of the
federal appropriation for the de-
velopment of the laud.
Men as well as women will march
in the woman suffrage parade on
March 3rd, the day before Mr.
Wilson's inauguration.
President Taft, who will take up
the duties of law professor at Yale
University after the close of his
administration, will not tour the

after which lie will go to Yale Uni-
