Parents instead OF insisting on the
children's staying away from the riv-

that the youngsters find safe place
and good company in and with which
to swim. Chances are that If you
can't choose the time and the place
the kid will, and If he stays away
until his hair is dry you will Fever be
the wiser until you discover some day
when you do take him to the baths

A Warship on the Mississippi.


Dubuque Telegraph Herald: Those
who have not been watching the
progress of the battleship Missis-
sippi' up the Mississippi river to re-
ceive a silver service from the state;
whose name 1t bears have missed
some strong notes OF human nature.
Among the other places where it was
scheduled to drop anchor and receive
the hospitality OF citizens eager in
the welcoming was Bayou Sara, lit
the village where Democracy has Its
abiding place and words are used to
express, and not to cloak ideas.
The news that the warship was to
stop at Bayou Sara was a surprise to
/ its citizens. But not an unwelcome
surprise. IF they will overlook the
disorderly parlor,'' said the citizens
after the manner of their wives, 1--WE
can make their visit pleasant" So
the citizens agreed upon this telegram

This is hell of place to receive
anybody, but we will do the best we

The captain, who had learned some
thing of human nature in his years Of
living. knew the spirit back Of the
! telegram, and said he would wager
that it was "bully good fellow" who
sent 1t.

FOR a GREATER IOWA.

An article elsewhere on this page OF
The Gate City tells OF the return or
former Iowans to the state to avail
themselves of its advantages and do
their part in developing its resources.
In line with this and with view oil
securing concerted effort state
organization has been perfected with
headquarters in Des Moines known as
the Greater Iowa club. Development is
to be brought about along various lines
but especially in the establishment OF
new industries. The president of the
State University recently gave his APP
proval to the movement in letter
which has been made public. In 1t he
says that Iowa is now In the cruciai
point OF development which many
years ago New England occupied; lat
er years Ohio and Indiana were in
the same position. Their sons and
daughters, who had listened to the
call Of the western siren, were send
ing their own sons and daughters
back to the old states for their higher
education. The writer continues:
Iowa has for the last decade been
an exporter C brains. When was
the chancellor of the University of
Nebrska it seemed to me that every
third man / met was an Iowan, and
| especially so If he were successful
man. 1t is the sons and daughters of
these former Iowans who are return
Ing to Iowa
What a fertile field for develop
ment! Iowa's population is at stand
still. The greatest state in the union,
lit has contributed literally to
4 the development of every state
west of the Missouri river,
! given of Its resources. its people
and its brains. Among the great men
/ of the west Iowans are in preponder-
ance. If these men had stayed in
Iowa and contributed to its upbuilding
/ what a great state we would have!
4 The Greater Iowa club should be Civ
en- every assistance that the men oil
Iowa can give it. 1t is laudable en-
terprise. The people of Iowa. the
\ brains of Iowa should be corralled for
the development of this great state,
! The capital OF the commercial activi.
| ties can be conferred In the develop
ment of brains should be as much a
part of the Greater Iowa movement
as the commercial. industrial. manu-
featuring and agricultural develop
ment of the state.
1 This approval is in turn approved
by the Cedar Rapids Republican which
declares that the conception set forth
above is none too high; that Iowa ha!
been an exporter of brains to the east
ward and an exporter of Drawn TO thu
westward. From this state thousand
of men have gone to make the newe
states of the west and the southwes
and more recently the overflow ha
gone into the Canadian northwest
, Wherefore:
Eventually there must be a reces
sion and men who have left this state
or their children, will want to com
I back home. We do not realize what
