Presidents, by the German ambassador.
Count Won Bernstorn, and Dr. Charles ].
Hexamer. president of the National Ger

DR.. Hexamer, who followed Represent
alive Bartholdt, gave an account Of Baron
Won Steuben's life. In conclusion, he said:
ION Oneida's heights. deep within an
old forest reservation. we find a massive
monument Of gray stones on which the
mosses and lichens fondly cling. Here
rest the mortal remains Of Steuben, the
father Of the American army. We honor
ourselves in honoring the memory Of our
great dead.

descendants of the old German stock who
have found a new home In the hospita-

Germany and the United States, have
come to Washington today to do honor
to the memory of one Of the most distin-

his statue, which is also the work of an
American citizen Of German descent.
IT am therefore very pleased to be able
to regard this monument not only as one
erected to the memory of q distinguished
German officer. who ably served this
country. but also as a monument to the
unbroken friendship which has existed
between Germany and the United States
since the birth Of the people Of the United
States as a nation. In those days the

GAME CLOSE TO FARCE

After nine innings Of what was
the poorest baseball ever seen on a
County League diamond DUPONT beat
out Riverview at Riverview Park on
Saturday afternoon u to o. Players
and umpire alike contributed to what
was close to farce, but It was Umpire
Mcmahon who added the touches that
made the exhibition distasteful 10 the
seven hundred fans that went out to
see the game His decisions we're so
rank in the eight inning of the game
that Wingate, who threw them over
for Riverview, gave up in disgust and
allowed DUPONT to hit at will. In that
inning Mcmahon called Dugan out at
first after two men had scored for du-
Pont ahead of TWO men down, and the
decision allowed three more dupont
men TO score, giving them the game.
Previously Mcmahon had cut both
pitchers hard on the ball and strike

nings did his work affect the teams.
Both dupont and Riverview suffered,
but It was Riverview that lost the
game.

game won when Riverview came TO

middle western states which made
large gains show that these gains
were made in the cities, and that the
country districts either barely held
their own or showed loss. This
problem is brought forcefully home to
Iowans because while the cities of the
state have male substantial gains,
these gains were Offset by losses on
the farms sufficiently heavy to show a
loss of population in the state.
The census returns show that there
are fewer farms in Iowa than there
were ten years ago. During the period
since the last census large numbers
have been attracted from Iowa by the
lure of cheaper lands in the west,
southwest and northwest. Many OF
those who left the state were owners
of farms. Others were the sons OF
farmers. The result of this movement
has been to bring about a merger of
small farms into bigger FARMS with
fewer farm owners. Another factor IN
reducing Iowa's country population
has been the movement to the cities.
The last ten years has seen the be-
ginning of advertising campaigns in
many of the states. Money has been
spent in advertising their resources.
State publicity bureaus have been con-
stantly employed in an effort to at
tract settlement. immigration bureaus
have been at work not only inducing
settlement. but aiding the settler in
finding location.
Iowa has done no advertising and
has had no publicity bureau. She has
not been represented at the land
shows or the agricultural expositions.
except in instances where there were
exhibits to be shown or prizes to Ie
contested for, when Iowans went at
their own expense and brought back
most of the prizes. Iowa has been so
sure of itself. so seIf-confident that it
seemed to think it did not have. to
exert itself to remain at the head OF
the procession. The census returns
show that this doesn't pay.
What Iowa must do now is to look
this proposition squarely in the face
and set to work to regain the lost
ground Iowa's big farms can be cut
into smaller farms with profit to the
owner; of the farm There is, big
field in Iowa for the purchase by men
or syndicate of men of some of the
big farms ana for the sale of this land
in small tracts. This would give the
state something to offer the settler
something within reach of his pocket
book.
Iowa must advertise it's resources.
The state cannot expect to hold it's
own unless it gets up and digs. Inter
urbans must be built and the roads
must be, improved These are factors
in bringing the farmer near his mar
ket and making country life more at
tractive.
Iowa has the best market in the
world. The state is honeycombed by
railroad lines. There are big cities on
all sides within few hours ride.
Iowa's soil is unsurpassed. There is
nothing the matter with Iowa except
that it hasn't been alive to its oppor-
tunities.

BILL WAYNE,s DEATH.

A reporter caught Senator Stephen
son entering the white house the
other day and sought to secure an in
terview regarding Wisconsin politics.
The senator was thinking, however, of
other things. He had presented Presi-
dent Taft with Pauline Wayne, a
champion Holstein COW, and Pauline
in. turn presented the president with a
fine bull calf, Bill Wayne, which died.
The Chicago Inter Ocean gives the fol
lowing account of the interview be-
tween Senator Stephenson and the re-
porter:
What is the nature of your errand
at the white house, senator?"
Bill Wayne was easily worth $780,
said the senator from the Badger state.
Il don't doubt it, replied the report
er to Senator Stephensons statement,
but what are you calling on the presi-
dent about?"
Bill Wayne's DEATH" answered the
senator, was due to the ignorance Of
those who tried to rear him.
OF course" agreed the reporter
And how are politics in Wisconsin
since the election?"

in Wisconsin could tell you that" an
swered the senator.
Naturally said the reporter. How
about the insurgent movement in, Wis
consin?''
A bull calf should have milk
warmed to the same temperature as
milk fresh from the cow" replied the
senator
Exactly" said the reporter. "Will
LaFollette be Endorsed for president
in 1922
Warm milk-thats what young
bull calf needs answered the sena-
tor.
No doubt assented the reporter.
''Does LaFollette expect to have q
clear field, or will Roosevelt try to be
the bearer of the insurgent banner?"
Wisconsin cows can't be beat and
Bill Waynes mother is a registered
Holstein.'' answered the SENATOR.
Il believe YOU" said the reporter.
