THE PRoDIGAL RETURNS.

James Cumming, who has recently
returned from California, had the
following poem published in the
Reinbeck Courier recently:
I'm sneaking back to Iowa
You may Jeer me if you will,
But in this roll of 'Prodigar
think I've had my fill.
You may boast about your Golden
Gate,
The simmer of your sea;
The beauty of your Orange Groves
lowa's good enough for me.
I'm sneaking back to Iowa,
I'm tired of husks and chaff.
wonder if some friend for me
Will kill the 'fatted calf
do not seek to shirk hard work;
care not much for ease.
But Heaven defend me from this pest
OF California fieas.
I'm sneaking back to Iowa
My heart and feet are sore.
Let me but reach the favored spot,
Sure l will roam no more.
My wisdom teeth ] think I've cut;
I'm wiser day by day,
No more for me a Paradise,
Three thousand miles away.
I'm sneaking back to Iowa,
Give me your hottest roasts.
I'll take the worst that you can say.
But not the Pacific Coast.
don't like flowers with earthquakes
mixed;
Nor seas that sigh and moan.
When every night thew bring a fog
That chills me to the bone.
I'm sneaking back to Iowa
In hopes that l may find, -"
The Paradise l sought so far
But surely left behind.
Oh Iowa, Pride of the rolling prairie,
Queen state of the central plain,
Take back thy weary, erring child
I'll never roam again."

new LAWS JULY 4TH
Continued from page -.

CONTINUED from page ID.
ICES their seizure and destruction by
peace officers of the state. Their
possession is presumptive evidence
of gambling.
Probably the most radical law to
become effective July 4th is the Per-
kIns unseXing law. This provides
that inmates of state penal and in
sane institutions shall undergo the
operation known as "visectomy" up
on the recommendation of the sur
geon and physicians of the institut-
ion, if such an operation is deemed
necessary to prevent the procreation
of persons likely to inherit insanity
or criminal instincts or if it will, in
the judgment of those physicians,
tend to restore the health of the
patient. A penalty of $1,000 is pre-
scribed for the operation without
the consent of the chief surgeon of
the institution where the patient is
confined
The only good roads legislation to
become effective in July is the Kulp
law taxing automobiles according to
their horse power and providing that
So per cent of this tax shall be used
for good roads in the county where
collected. This law is causing an I'M
told amount of work, as every auto
mobile in Iowa must be registered
by July. While it takes a consider
able sum of money from the general
revenue of the state, it gives good
financial basis for road work in
Iowa.
End Short Weights.
A law of Importance to house
wives is the Miller law which pro-
vides for state inspection of weights
and measures. This work will be
done under the direction of the state
food and dairy department and is
designed to prevent fraud in short
weights and measures.
After July 4th the June primaries
will be held on the first Monday of
the month instead of the first Tues
day, as is now the case The main
purpose of this bill is to enable
those who are compelled to be away
from home from Monday till Satur-
day to have the opportunity to ex-
ercise the right of franchise without
losing two days in the week when the
primary election is held.
The following important laws be-
came effective upon their publication
in the Des Moines papers, the date
being the date of publication.
Monies and credits tax-April Sth.
compulsory dragging of roads
April Sth. 0'
Creating the Office of commerce
counsel-April 18th.
Giving cities power to create
publicity bureau-April 4th.
Giving cities power to condemn
water works, gas plants, electric
light plants and heating plants
March 22d.
Creating a state antitoxin bureau
for the free distribution of antitoxin
April 18th.
Legalizing the acts of notaries
public, thus saving the saloons to
L es Moines.
Providing for the consolidation of
Independent school districts-April
II.
Limiting the indebtedness of
school districts to per cent of the
valuation of the property of the dis
trict.
Defining switching limits-April
18th.
All appropriation acts and all
legalizing acts become effective on
July 4th.
Taken as a whole the new laws
will do the state good. The law re-
pealing the tax ferret law by pro-
hibiting counties and cities and
towns from making contracts with
tax ferrets also becomes effective
next month.
