tf Beardshear, of the Stats Agriu uH-ural college, presiding, it was decided to forward in a systematic "house to house' visitation of every county in our state, visiting every family to ascertain the number not attending the Sunday school, and what can be done to draw them into the Sunday school. The plan is simple and success will follow every effort. Every township is to hold a meeting of all its Sunday school workers, and after discussing the plan, divide the townshis into about as many districts as there are Sunday schools in the township, and appoint a superintendent over each district: and from the Sunday school in his district he secures his visitors, and assigns each his work. Where practical the workers go two and two. The workers throughout the state show a great willingness to take up this idea when the learn that the state has planned for it and the movement is uniform.

This is a strongin- centive and will be a great power. At one township meeting 46 volunteered to help in the work. Iowa is the first state that has taken up this idea and asked it to be done on the same days, and this is only the beginning of "an annual canvass. Every county and township association and every Sunday -school should have a part in the first canvass. Visitors' blanks and the plan in detail can be had through the secretary of the County Sunday School association.

President F. C. Grace of the Twentieth Iowa Veteran association, has issued the following call for the annual reunion. "Report for roll call at the Grand Army hall, Davenport, Iowa, Wednesday and Thursday, Oct. 3d and 4th, at which place and Lime our seventh reunion will be held.

Nearly eleven years have been added to our days since this association was organized, and 32 years have been numbered with the past since we took steps that made the organization possible. "Then we were in the early flush of manhood with life's untried experiences before us. The present finds those of us who are still on duty with shoulders bent with the burde'ns of years gone by, and many of us well clown the hill on the march to our last earthly camp. Since our meeting at Marion two years ago, a number of pur comrades have ended their march ia the scenes of and answered the final roll call. "Notably among the number is pur beloved friend, Comrade Cavendish, to whom the call to report for duty in the camp beyond came without warning, and who was as ready to respond as in the years away in the past that tried men's souls in fire.

A resolution will be presented for your consideration at our meeting looking toward providing a suitable monument to mark his last resting place. Let each strive to aid by his presence in making this the most enjoyable reunion in our history. To all of our old brigade comrades of the 37th, Illinois; 26th. Indiana; jOth. Wisconsin, and Murphy's battery who are able to attend, a cordial welcome will be given.

The local committees at Davenport will welcome you and see that good hotel accommodations are secured for you at reduced rates. Kindly answer this invitation and let the secretary at Malcom know whether you will be at ttus reunion.

Word was received in the city Wednesday afternoon that Hans Henry Hamann, who resides about a mile east of Eldridge has committed suicide.

It seems that he had been residing with his son, they living as batchelors. Mrs.JSsmanu died about a year ago. Yesterday the boy came to Davenport to attend the fair, and when he reached home, found his father dead.

NOXIOUS WEEDS. Xo. 1 of the Iowa Agricultural experiment station press report has been issued. In presenting it, L. H.

Pammel, the botanist of the station, says: "The writer has received numerous queries and specimens from many parts of the state with, reference to some of our noxious weeds. In many cases the farmers fail to recognize the importance of taking immediate steps toward eradicating these plants on first appearance. Mistakes are frequently made in the identification of weeds, especially those of the weed laws. Plants may be sent at any time; they will be identified free of charge. It is well known to many farmers that three legislatures have enacted weed laws, the last having passed the Russian Thistle law, which has stringent measures for its eradication, Previous legislatures passed laws with reference to the Canada (Cnicus ar- venis) and Bull Thistle.

In order that the writer be able to determine how far and weeds have spread in Iowa he asks the co-operation of all who are interested to send him the above weeds; state how long you have been familiar with them and whether they are spreading. L. H. PAMMEL, Botantist Experiment Station, Ames, Iowa. THE COKX CROP.

Following is a summary of the i September reports of the crop correspondents of the Iowa agricultural bureau: The average condition of corn is rated 36 per cent. This indicates an average yield of 11.88 bushels per acre. The present acreage is 6,738,000 acres, and if this estimate is borne oat by the final returns, the aggregate for the state will be about eight million bushels. In the southern and central districts a large portion of the crop has been cut, and the balance is mostly beyond danger from from. In the northern districts cutting is rapidly progressing, but a portion of the crop is still immature, and would be materially damaged by a killing frost.

The amount of corn that will this year be put into the farmers cribs will be very light--probably less than forty million bushels. But under stress of necessity the larger part of the fodder will be utilized; and this added to the grain will give in feeding value a total corn yield of about 60 per cent of an average, if it is cut and cured in good condition. Other crops are rated as follows: Flax, 65; potatoes, 35; pastures, 33; Dapples, 55 per cent. was collected during a series of "years and is largely in Latin and the modern European languages. Its value represents years of labor in addition to a cost of probably $1,500.

Its possession renders the universitr one of the centers to which all students of this branch of the law who do not wish to go out of the country, may refer. 7'he prestige which thus accru to the institution and to the state in the attracting of scholars from all parts of the'nation, is most important. It will be remembered that the execution of the gift was for a time frustrated by a will of Dr- Hammond's executed some years ago, and apparently overlooked by him, which his entire law library was bequeathed to Washington university, of which the St. Louis law school is a department. But such has been Zvf rs.

It comprises an excellent selection of original authorities en the civil law. the early German codes and authorities on the early law among the Germanic tribes, works on this subject being for the most part in German and! French, and a collection of early Ea- giish treatises and reports, including the year books.

In the collection Is contained a set of all the editions of Blackstone published during the author's lifetime, which Dr. Hammond procured with great difficulty when he was preparing his edition of Blackstone.

On a recent careful re-examination and analysis he finds Dr. Price's Cream Baking Powder superior to all others in strength, purity, and efficiency. Dr, Mott writes New York, March aoth, 1894, I find Dr, Price's Cream Baking Powder to be superior to all others, for the following reasons ist. It liberates the -greatest amount of leavening gas and is consequently.more efficient, 2nd. The ingredients used in its preparation are of the purest character.

On account of the purity of. the materials and therr relative proportions, Dr: Price's Cream Baking Powder must be considered the acme of perfection as regards wholesomeness and efficiency, and I say this having in mind certificates I have given several years ago respecting two other baking powders. The reasons for the, change in my opinion are based the above facts and the new method adopted to prevent your baking powder from caking and deteriorating in strength.
