Big Crowd Expected Here Next
Week Wednesday.
AUTO PARADE AND BASE BALL
YeOmen of Northeastern Iowa Will
Re Entertained With Auto Pa
rade, Prize Drill Contest,
Speeches, Base Ball,
Dance and Other
Amusements.

One week from today. Wednes-
day, June 1st, the Yeomen of north
eastern Iowa and their friends will
come to Decorah by the hundreds to
participate in the annual picnic of
the Northeastern Iowa Yeoman Pic
mic Association. 1t is also expected
that a large crowd will be present
from the surrounding towns and
country adjacent to Decorah.
The committees have provided Il
program of entertainme which
will uphold Decorah's enviable repu-
tation as an entertainer of crowds
Immediately following the arrival
of the special trains in the morning
at 1890 O'Clock an automobile
parade will form, in which it is hop
ed that every automobile in north
eastern Iowa will have a place. No
matter how large or bow small, or
how old your machine may be, come
out and join the parade. 1t will not
be necessary to decorate the ma
chimes, just come and fall in line.
and we will have a show worth see
ing.
At 11:0O O'Clock the program
will take place at me Grand opera
house. Three of the very best
speakers in the order will be here.
Hon William E. Koch, of Des
Aoines, Iowa, Grand Foreman of
the Yeomen; Hon. John ID. Denni-
son of Dubuque, member of the
Yeomen board of directors and can
didate for congress; and Senator H.
L. Adams of West Union, speaker
of wide reputation. will address
the crowds. The opera house has
been secured for the program, SO
that those who desire to hear the
addresses may have good seats.
After an hour for dinner, the af-
ternoon program will begin at 1880
o'clock. First there will be the
prize drill contest for teams in full
regalia, for which a prize of $4,000
is offered. Teams from Oelwein and
Alpha have already entered, and ii
is hoped that several will compete
One of the big events of the day
will be the base ball game, between
the Colored Gophers of st. Paul and
the Caledonia, Mimi. team. This
promises to be the best game in De-
corah this season. Nearly everyone
knows that the Gophers have one
of the snappiest and best teams ever
seen here, and Caledonia has al
ready defeated them cnce and will
make an effort to do SO again. Gale
donia has one of the best teams in
Minnesota and a fine game may be
anticipated.
In the evening there will be two
Yeomen dances, at Marsh's and
Steyer's halls. Good music will be
furnished at both places, good or.
der kept, and everything possible
done to make them enjoyable.
A special train will be run over
the Rock Island from Oelwein, and
efforts are being made to secure @
special over the Milwaukee. Next
Wednesday will be big day in De
corah. You couldn't come in on the
18th of May, go come then. Every
body invited. Cone in and enjoy
yourself.

IOWA POSSIBILITIES AND RE-
ALITIES.

There is much complaint that
Iowa is not boosted enough. There
is justification for the complaint
The people of Iowa in general, and
the newspapers in particular, and
the Commercial clubs and mer-
chants organizations in particular
also, have not done their duty in
the matter.
Really, enough booster material
could be compiled in one mouth to
give Iowa a name and fame that
would be heard around the world.
And the boosters would not have to
exaggerate, much less prevaricate,
in order to make glowing state
ment. The exact truth is enough
to make everybody admit that Iowa
is tho. est ever; that Iowa soil is
withoeS Aequal anywhere. and
that cond q. sare just right fer the
maximum a& of prosperity and
the mimimum(~ lnt of adversely.
If we advertfs va advantages
properly there ougi.! be a great
increase in population ling the
next ten years, instead o. the stand
still, if not actually decrease, ap-
parent for the past ten years.
Here are samples of how Iowa
rewards the people who have faith
in the state and Systematically go
after the wealth which devotion to
opportunity offers.
During the month Of April one
firm at Vinton shipped about
$4,000 worth of eggs. A mint of
money was distributed to the peo-
pie of Benton county simply for
"hen fruit" And eggs form only
one of the many things which can
be so profitably produced
A grain farmer in Pcweshiek
county, Fred Mccullough, cleared
six thousand dollars last year on
325 acres. That is a net income of
$3.50 per acre. Not such bad
record.
OF course, the profit on this farm
was not the result of slipshod farm
ing methods. OF course, also, the
Benton county raisers of poultry did
not go at their business in slip
shod way.
Hut neither do the successful
farmers in any other state farm in
slipshod way. The men who have
made phenomenal successes. and
who are the ones who are always
cited in the alluring prospectuses OF
modern Gardens of Eden, win their
wealth by the closest attention to
every detail
Money does not grow on bushes
anywhere. But it comes nearer to
growing on bushes in Iowa than il
does anywhere else under the sun.
