LEAVING. THE FARM.


At the present time there seems to be
a turning away from the farm. The
boys and girls look enviously to the
towns and cities and thither they drift.
So for that matter do the old folks and
how can they do otherwise with their
sons and daughters either in town or
anxious to be there? Simply as an in
vestment-for the income to be derived
1T does not pay to own land. When
taxes, etc, are deducted the rent yields
a very small rate on the money in
vested. In this part of the country
we have had six wet years to contend
with and that, with the craze for
cheaper lands in the west and north,
has helped towards the depression in
farm land So there is not only turn
ing away from the farm, but there is
no stream coming in the opposite di-
rection The great factories and all
industrial houses are working over
time and there are good wages and
employment for all. When every one
is doing well in the city, when every
one has work and money in his pocket.
there is contentment and satisfaction
with the strenuous city life, and n
desire to lead the simple rural life
There is a turn to every lane, how
ever. and before long there will be 9
adjustment. There will be a de-
mand for good lands. especially In the
corn belt, and the farm will receive
back the prodigals. There are people
living here today who wouldn't buy

is coming and it is not many years

We have been bordering over these
things as we thought of the good men

leaving the farm-leaving fine homes,

has in North Lincoln, almost palace.

fact that e. r. Hubbard, at one time

ship, has disposed of his holdings in
that township. MIR. Hubbard has
bought third interest In the
Wilson hotel and theater property in
Mason City, his partners we believe,
being A. III. Gale and James Rule. Mr.
Hubbard sells the northeast quarter
of section 9, the quarter on which the
school house is situated. to A. j. Full
Ter. who has lived on the place the
past five years. The 100 acres on the
east goes to A. II. Gale. Mr.. Hubbard
was a moneymaker on the farm and
has made fortunate investments since
he left the farm. We see from the
papers that he is going to make i'm
proyementS at once on the hotel and

JESSE JAMES SADDLE.
Cedar Rapids Republican,


We must confess to an inability to
"enthusen over the placing of jesse
James saddle in the historical DEPART
ment of the state Of Iowa. They have
made great boasts to the effect that 1t
is the genuine saddle, with affidavits
attached. That saddle ought to be put
into the chamber of horrors. 1t is
hardly a fit emblem to exploit before
the admiring youth. Jesse James was
merely an outlaw and a cut-throat.
There was nothing nobly heroic about
him. He relied on getting ''the drop
on his enemies and finally one Of his
enemies got the drop" on him and
shot him in the back. 1t was a life
that would be better forgotten than
remembered. The James boys invaded
Iowa once or twice, but their achieve
ments do not belong to the history OF
this state. The saddle is hardly COM
panion piece of Kirkwoods chair or
Harlan's desk or the pen with which
James w. Grimes penned his immortal
protests against the encroachments OF
the slave power in Iowa. In short. we
do not know about that saddle. We
are inclined to be suspicious of it. We
do not want to emulate the boys OF
Iowa to ride in such saddles. Let It
at least be placed In a dark corner. j.
