AS live in the state of Iowa, will
tell about it. was born and raised in
Iowa, and so, to my notion. it is the
best state in the union. 1t is about
in the north central part Of the Unit
ed States. 1t is the only state that
has an entire eastern and western
boundary, being bounded on the west
by the Missouri river and on the east
by the Mississippi river. Iowa raises
a great deal of corn, oats and hay. By
the raising Of corn we raise many hogs
and cattle.
Among the natural curiosities Of
Iowa there are few lakes in the north
central part that are bordered by
large boulders SO they are called the
walled lakes. This state has more BIZ
luminous coal than any other state
west of the Mississippi.
To mention the chief occupation
will say because the ground is fertile
and easy to till. agriculture is the chief
occupation. Well, as l have told the
main points about our state, I will

When Theodore Roosevelt was
young man he was not very strong.
So, wishing to improve his health. he
went to North Dakota to live on a
ranch. For that reason he was class
ed with the cowboys. But now he
lives in the White House and is
classed with the great men and even
the kings Of the old country.
When he first went to the White
House he was censured for shaking
hands with a negro and even enter
tanning one as guest But there are
great men who feel it an honor to
shake hands with the President.

try and do my best in writing this
story.
The name of my state is Iowa, the
fairest state of all the west.
Iowa is an agricultural state where
an abundance of fine grains. fruits and
vegetables are raised. Iowa is also
noted for its many mines OF bituml-
nous coal, which supplies fuel for the
people that live in the state of Iowa.
Iowa is known as one of the west
central states and to my knowledge is
the best state in the union.
The song entitled Iowa, O, Iowa"
is a beautiful song and is sung at all

think that our own state is SO fair with
its fields of corn, its beautiful rivers,
and its exceptionally fine soil.

Contrary to expectations, the execu-
tion Of Tucker did NOT take place this
morning. The warden of the state pris-
on, who has charge of all details con

when the sentence Of the court will be
carried out. The warden is authorized
