scouting them by calling them
shiftless and lazy when they
were as is often said, "round
boys in square holes" and did
not fit, and no one can be ideal
lily successful until he finds his
p ace. A boy will seldom de-
eide on his occupation before
he is sixteen, and then he is
very uncertain what his calling
is, but while he is in this un-
certain stage don't disgust him
with farm life by constantly
complaining about failure of
crops and hard times if you
wish him to remain on the
| farm.
So many are now telling
young men there is no chance
for them in Iowa, they will
have to go west or to Canada.
The west may have some adj
vantages that Iowa has not.

has more that the west has not.
We are in the best portion of
1.-THE earth; from the Atlantic to
like Pacific there is no better
country than ours. We have
1.-The best soil and the greatest
returns for the least labor and
ewn rse. Much of the eastern
states is barren and rocky and
rockp and must be fortified
ind reuch of the west is parched
md Try. You would not be
surprised that our land is dear
lii you only consider how COM
paratively small a portion of
the land of this great country
lis fertile. You can ride for
days on the different railroads
through land only fit for min
ling or raising cactus, and all
1.-THE population must be fed
from the fields of the middle
states. This is the grandest
country on the globe for a poor
man to make a start. can
we'll remember when my father
worked hard all day for fifty
cents per day, and he said that
was more than he had been in
the habit of getting in Eng
land, and l have heard men
from Sweden and Denmark
say they have worked many a
day for ten cents per day in
Those old countries. | am quite
optimistic and can see limitless
possibilities for our country.
Do you ask how they can be
obtained? My answer is to
give the right of suffrage to
women so they can cast their
votes with the men of good
morals las they seem to be in
the minority and thus exter-
inmate the greatest enemy this
country has ever known or
ever will know, the enemy that
makes more poverty, more
suicides, more broken hearts
and deserted homes than every
thing else combined the dread
full traffic in liquor and tobacco.
