is Very little for lawyer to do in a
small town nowadays compared to
what there used to be. People are so
prosperous that they are all paying
their bills, SO there Is Very little col-
'lecting to do. Every one is so busy |
making money that he has neither time
| nor inclination to quarrel or get into
any sort of difficulty that requires the
assistance of "a lawyer to get him out |
| The loaning business, in which many
4 of US were engaged three years ago,
has also played out to a large extent.
4 Nobody wants to borro~ money.
1 Everybody seems to have all the money
5he wants or can use to advantage in his
I business Another thing that lawyers
lin small towns used to engage in was
4 the purchase of tax titles, buying up
4 real estate sold under mortgage and
Z, numerous good investments, known as
@lscourt house speculation. Now there is
4 sl5ysry little3of this. Real estate has gone
4 away up out of sight and the farmers
4 have been so successful! that they pay
t|.of their obligations promptly and there
! is no opportunity for any one, to profit
|sby their misfortunes, because they very
Il seldom have any misfortunes in Iowa.
lThis state of affairs mas been in exist
ence for more than three years and has
4 been. 50 far as We lawyers are con-
scerned, growing worse every year. OF
4 course ii is u good thing for the peo-s
a pie. but except where lawyers are en-
gagged as counsel to corporations or
other great business concerns, the oc-S
cupation Of the country lawyer is SER

Tie state fair may nov be said to bt
I, fairly on its fest. The management vii

q say that this sum of money VIII b

II OF agriculture in preparing for the n4N
a fair. Inasmuch as the boards eni.
= use for money Is in carrying on the fan
,e in keeping up the grounds and build

s. this money Will be used in perrianer
a. bettertaents on. the grounds. as We'll a

IL are In had condition for wet weather
X A little rain makes the walks about tn
ed grounds equal TO the worst countr
he road that can be- imagined. The soil
OF sticky in most places and some of III
ho ground is very low and the water dos
not run Oft as it.should. The next thin

5. permanent gravel roads and some sids
walks. This will keep the people OF
of of the dust in dry weather as we'll q
protect them from the mud When it
Il wet.
