A MODEL STATE.—The State of lowa, Whic
sent some seventy thousand troops into the field—eicc'ee";
ing its quota by nearly six thousand—instead of be.`";
overrun and borne down with obligations, has aSitu
debt of a little over three hundred thousand dollars, ww";,,,
she can pay off at any time. None of her counties are
debt in consequence of the war. The reason for this e%,-
traordinary exhibit is to be found in the fact that iiv'to
people went out and fought, instead of hiring othersmo
do so. What a contrast this is to most of the States t's„f
are now staggering under millions of debt, incurred '-
the purpose of filling their quotas.
