Many people seen to deem the 'girl
of today" of no account compared
with the girl of grandmother time.
That is mistake. The girl of today
is hustler. She does the clerking, the
typewriting, the bookkeeping, the
school teaching of the country. She is
crowding the boy today off the earth,
because he is too slow, too indolent,
too Indifferent. too busy drinking
beer, playing pool and fishing to keep
step with her. In America women
are not only doing the housekeeping
better than it was ever before done.
but half of the other work as we'll.
| She shines in the colleges, makes up
three-fourths of the graduating classes
in high schools, does most of the
church work. conducts literary clubs,
beautifies parks. roots for the home
baseball team, and leads the process
sion in all of the moral, social and
literary functions, visits the sick and
dispenses charity. Beside all this she
finds time to listen to the love-making
of some weak man who needs a wife
to take care of him. We tell you that
the modern girl is strenuous. She is
a dandy, a trump. Grandma wasn't
in it, so she wasn't.

Iowa, considering the we'll being of
every man, woman and child, is prob
ably the richest spot of ground on the
face of the earth. Iowa people can
buy more, travel more. eat more and
throw away more and notice it less
than any other two millions the sun
shines on. Iowa subscribes for more
magazines, supports more lecture
courses. takes more newspapers, pays
more for schools-not always intelli-
gently--and in everything that goes
to test the ability of the people to
have and pay for the superior things
of life meets the conditions with more
ease than any state in the union. -

The statement is made by an ex-
change that it will cost the sixteen
daily papers of New York three mil
lion dollars more this year than last
to issue their publications, and that
without adding single person to the
payroll or increasing the wages OF a
single employe. More than two
thirds of this increase will be due to
the advance in the price Of white
paper. Every newspaper publisher in
the country will have to bear a pro-

The theory that Fairview had one great

ed by developments on a dozen properties,
to the satisfaction of those who were
so situated to be able to personally in

forever dispel any belief on the outside
