PUBLICITY NEEDED.

"It is generally conceded that one
way to help increase the population OF
Iowa is more publicity" says the Fort
Dodge Chronicle. This has been
neglected. and there are people VINO
have lived all their lives so far In
Iowa that know but little of the won.
derful natural resources of this great
state of ours, and also the advantages
furnished by different localities tor
the raising Of apples, other trult,
onions, etc. for example.
Failure to give more publicity to
the advantages offered by Iowa SOIL
and the valuable resources underlying
the same, has created the general I'M
preston that this state Is strictly an
agricultural state, and there are many
residents Of the state who think the
same thing. While Iowa is unquestion-
ably the greatest agricultural state IN
the union. yet 1t has besides so many
other advantages to offer that there
should no longer be delay in spreading
the truth abroad, and nothing but the
truth is necessary to attack people
who are not only looking for a good
place to live, but o good place to make
: living IN q wholesome atmosphere,
both from the standpoint of health and
society. for iowa people have high
ideals and are well supplied with all
the educational Institutions and other
influences that form the foundation
for good citizenship, and maintains the
name"

little beggar maid"
ooh, Uncle WILL" called the child.
suddenly, as man emerged from the
shadows; I'VE thought you had gone
to the charity ball.
The man came and stood behind
the chair, looking down into the race
of the governess.
May finish the story?" he asked.
His voice was low and tender.
Thee girl looked up with vide,
startled etes-then she nodded
dumbly.
WELL" the man continued. "thls
poor sort of prince knew nothing
of foolish golden queens chatter, so
he wandered about the gardens or
mOped In the castle looking always in
vain for a certain maid who hid her
self In nurseries and out-of-the-Way
corners, until she almost drove the
poor fellow distracted. He could not
work., you see. or play, or do anything
else in the world but think OF this one
girl who alone could he his princess.
And one night the enchantment which
had been cast over him became so very
great that IT. led him straight to her
side just in time, think. He intend
ed to wait as patiently as he could un-
til Golden Hair had been tucked into
her little bed, then when his true prin-
cess came slowly down the stairs he
would clasp her close-never to let her
go again, and they would travel away
together"
Where would they go?" the child
asked drowsily.
The governess laid her face against
the child's as she carried her from
the room. and the Joy in her voice
melted into q dream.
"They will Journey on and one: she
said, through sunshine and shadow,
always together, to the very end Of

THE OREGON PLAN.

If the Iowa legislature can not find
any way Of putting in Its time more
probably to the people of the state,
than by considering the Oregon plan Of
electing U. S. senators, then this
legislature had better go home. This
so-called Oregon plan is the most
ridiculous and childish idea that has
ever been connected with the election
of man to such an exalted position
as a seat in the United States senate.
It is fact that the prosperity OF
this country depends upon the policy
of the political party in power. At any
rate that has been the true history
since the formation of political parties
In this country up to the present time.

THRIFT AND THE SAVINGS BANK.

|ARlE1 AND The SAVINN0 0N'S'N
illustrating the thrift OF the Wage
Farmers of that city the DUBUQUE Iele-
rraph.Herald points to the fact that q
sinule Dubuque bank has IL 900 saw
nps depositors, or one person In every
lhree and q fraction of the population.
There are. six other Dubuque banks
that receive savings whose deposits
greatly increase this total. The Du-
buoue paper cites bankers as authority
for the statement that only small
percentage of persons who start saw
ings accounts discontinue them. De-
sire grows by what it feeds upon, ana
when the depositor has 800 to ms
or her credit, he or she Is eager 10
make the amount 5000 Satisfied WIN
= lower rate of interest than various
Investments would pay, because OF the
security of the principal, depositors
innumerable let their savings mount
up into thousands. The Telegraph
Herald takes in connection 10 stve
some advice to its readers Wnicn the
Courier heartily seconds. It says:
Whoever encourages another TO open
a savings account, does service
Thrift is one of the greatest OF the
virtues. for the thrifty man generally
js a leyel-headed citizen, and the
thrifty woman is the best housekeeper.
There is rarely anything to fear from
the recklessness OF the thrifty c1tlzen'
man or woman, because thrl1t lore
closes against recklessness.
EVERY one has it in his power TO
encourage thrift by suggestion. Tnere
is M one hut has some sphere OF IN
f1uence. large or small. and within tnls
sphere suggestion carries weight.
Suppose. for illustration, that every
one who reads this editorial SHOULD
gather from it the inspiration to sus-
gest to an acquaintance that he open
a savings deposit, and point out 10
him that although he has only dollar
~ denosit he will look just as good
to the banker as the man Win $lUo
ia deposit. What stimulus would pc
given to thrift!
The growth Of savings Is a problem
in education. There would be MANY
more savings depositors II the man ai
who has only dollar to start VIII
and figures that he can save only
dollar week, or dollar month,
could be made to understand that the
hank wants him for customer, anu
that the money he puts on deposit
goes to work for him and earns
money for him, just as he goes TO
work and earns money for himself.
There is one merchant in OttumWa
who makes It point to see that every
one of his employees starts savings
account. no matter how small. After
ha has interested his employe IN
watching the deposits grow ne me, never \
has to worry f,lther about it. With
few dollars OF his own in the bank the
employe begins to feel certain pride.
He becomes more saving and keeps
better habits. He is better worker,
because he is seeking advancement
and better wages so that he can in
crease his weekly or monthly savings.
The merchant benefits by this practice
because he gets better service from
the thrifty than from the careless EN-.
ploye. The employe benefits the most
because he is laying the foundation on
which to build future career.
