acres of land depending on the sys-
tenn of farming carried on.
with dairying as the leading factor
in the system 20 acres is enough Tor
one man to handle economically. Wl'h
even this small area an extensive syS-
TEN with the silo and soilmg crops
would provide profitable employment
for two men, and yield an income that
would comfortably support a family
and leave something over each year.
This would mean 30 homes to each
square mile. over l1OO homes to each
township of G6 sections.
1t needs no argument to demon
strate that such a closely settled dis
trict will naturally and logically enjoy
better social conditions than more
sparsely settled section. The results
already accomplished under many Of
the irrigated projects show the vast
possibilities obtainable.
Better homes and better home co1-
ditions as the result of small holdings
and intensive cultivation IS not a the
ory. it is an accomplished fact. One
line of work being carried on by the
National Irrigation association is the
collection of these facts and their
presentation to those desTous of maxi
ing homes in manner to make them
clearly understood and appreciated.
There can be no doubt that this ed
ucational campaign will result in the
building of thousands of comfortable
homes. and the profitable cultivation
of many thousands of acres of land
that are at present producing only
| sagebrush and jackrabbits.

\ PRAYER.

Let me do my work each day; and
if the
Darkened hours of despair overcome
me,
May [ not forget the strength that
comforted me
In the desolation of other times.
May |
Stil remember the bright hours that
found me
Walking over the silent hills of my
childhood
Or dreaming on the margin of the
quiet river
When a light glomed within me
And 1 promised my early God to
have
Courage amid the tempests of the
changing years.
Spare me from bitterness and SHARP
passion
OF unguarded moments. May l not
forget
That poverty and riches are of the
spirit.
Though the world knows me not,
May my thoughts and actions be
such
As shall keep me friendly with my
self.
Lift my eyes from the earth ant
let me
Not forget the use of the stars.
Forbid that I should judge others
lest
1 condemn myself
Let me not feel the giamor of tn,
world,
But walk calmly in my path. Give ms
A few friends who will lowe me fo
what l am;
And keep burning before my vagran
steps
The kindly light of hope; an'
though
! Age and infirmity overtake me, and
/ Come not in the castle of m.
dreams,
Teach me to still be thankful for life
And for Times olden moments tina
are
Good and sweet; and may the evening
twilight
Find me gentle still.

IOWA LOSING PEOPLE.

That Iowa Is practically at stand
still in the matter of population, pos
sibly losing a trifle, will be shown by
the census that Is now being taken un-
der authority of the state executive
council.
The new census will show de-
crease of population in the rural sec
tions of a majority of counties, ac-
cording to the reports thus far receiV-
ed. It will show an aggregate de-
crease of the rural population; 1t viii
show decrease in a large proportion
of towns having in 1900 less than
$500 population; it will show in
creases in all the cities of 10000 or
more, but none of them satisfactory.
whether 1t will show an increase or
a decrease for the state as whole is
uncertain; some statisticians calculate
small decrease. some a small in
crease.
In any event, the new census is GO
ing to demonstrate that Iowa, the
richest agricultural state of the coun-
| try, is in a highly unsatisfactory con-
dition as to population and growth
| The press and public men are discuss
ing with great earnestness the ques.
ton, whats the matter with IowaY
Iowa in 1900 was credited with g.
231,S53 population. against 1,S9t
in 1890. 1t was the smallest decen'
NAL growth ever recorded and was 6
great disappointment. But the pros
pect of an actual decrease is Just nov
awakening Iowa to the realization
that something like a crisis in her his
tory is at hand.

Congress, when called in speciIl

deal with the railroad rate question,

president realizes thoroughly the inn

rate question the paramount issue,
and for fear of jugglery will give to
congress only one question at time
to deal with. When in the west he

Women $ Clubs.

The meeting Of the state federation
held during the week in Springville
demonstrated a few facts which it
would be well for club women TO pom
der on. First of all was the fact that
despite the best efforts of the best
programme committee in the world il
IS impossible TO please every body: ana
worse than that, it is impossible 10
hold woman to the subject given 10
her or TO the time allotted
1t showed that the best business wo-
men are not so good in this line as poor
business men. II showed that women
are not given 10 politics in the real
serSe of the word, or there would nave
been fewer declining the Offices thrust
at them. 1t showed that women are
growing more able To discuss things in
an impersonal manner and less able 20
forget their own personality. 1t
showed that the loaVes and the dishes
and the raiment form a large part, and
justly 50, of the federation meetings.
But above all, it demonstrated the fact
that women are willing to work to-
gether regardless Of all sorts of arti-
fetal conditions with which they may
be restricted, for the real good of the
objects they have in view.
The real tangible work planned by
the federation for the coming year
outlines a few things which are worthy
OF especial mention. The giving IF
four scholarships in the two large I'd
ucational institutions of the state are
not small matters. They are to be
known as Federation scholarships and
VIII doubtless be among the most sat
isldctOry monuments of the federation.
The fostering and caring for a farm
for the boys of the state who stand in
need Of the states parental care is an
other of the real things TO be under
taken by the federation. Add to these
the results already achieved in The
travelling library line, the art study and

one of the best women in the world.
He thinks my modest two clubs are too

This case of this poOr-rich woman
was not the only one which had come
under the questioner's notice. 1t lay
in her way to know the inner secrets
OF many households. and these she
kept inviolate. But she often remarked
that il was the exception 10 find a Wo-

man who had her own independent al
i0Wanee, such as all married women
should have. When such an allowance
was granted, II was apt to be only Just
large enough TO cover absolutely neces-
sary expenses. The richest men were
oIten the very ones who would not
grant any separate income to their
wives.
IL is a singular popularity of many
men of large income that they are Will
ing their wives should run up large
Dllis with merchants. but are not will
ing TO give them cash TO spend. In
several cases that could be named, the
wives of rich men have gone to such
merchants and said something like
this: Now, l am going to buy a bolt
or linen sheeting in a few weeks, but
just now l need the money more. VIII
YOU give me the money and put the
sheeting on this months bill and leave
it off on the next one?"
And sometimes the straits of these
women are such that deceit like this
seems almost eXcusable.
The poverty of women is a great
drawback to the success of wOmen's
clubs. The members become tired of
getting up fairs and preparing calen-
OARS for raising money. a mans club
does not have to resort to such meas
ures. There are ample initiation fees
and yearly payments which keep a

want to hear celebrated musicians.

sad cry: I'VE haven't any money, and
we don't know how TO get any" One

huential women, so-ealled, actually has
II in their constitution that they viii
never pay any one who speaks for
them. Probably there are others just
as bad.
When this club was asked why they
had allowed such "pauper' clause to
be inserted in their declaration of
rights. they explained that some of the
brightest women in their town were
poor. These women would not join the
club if there were TO be heavy dues or
other expenses, and they were so proud
that II any assessment were to be
made they would want 10 pay their
share, and they simply could not afford
to pay anything, therefore the constitu-
tion was thus formed.
