the reason for so many people
leaving Iowa. The following
clipping was sent in from a Cal
ifornia, Times subscriber.
Thirty-fve thousand Iowa
people gathered one day this
week at Los Angeles public
park for an outing and picnic.
OF course there are a lot of
Iowa people in the world, and
especially in Iowa, but even in
the homes of the Iowa folksit
is rare to see so many as $4,000
in one bunch. How much
more startling is it to see that
number of people together two
thousand miles from home.
Nor is this all of it. There are
a great many Iowa people in
this section of the world who
were not in attendance at that
gathering. AS many more, no
doubt. Think of it. More
than sixty thousand people
from one state in the union and
all gathered in one section of
the country and so far from
the original stamping ground.
The last census of this county
shows a falling off in the p >.
ulation of Iowa and the wond, ,r
has been where all the peop'e
had gone. Most folks thought
they had fled to the northw est
and over the borders into Brit
ish Columbia. The mystery is
solved now. Southern Califor-
MIA has captured Iowa. While
it is true all the state of Iowa
has not moved to this section,
it might safely be said South
ern California has captured the
cream.
A good word for w. j. Bryan
by the Nonpareil, as follows:
Bryan is for a dry Lincoln.
And that proves that Bryan is
lover of his fellowmen. He may
be ridiculed as a visionary and
his political creed discredited,
but when he takes a bold stand
for the abolition of that which
debauches and destroys his fell
lowmen, he proves the sincerity
of his purpose and the nobility
of his aims"

Well, 1t Is Over.

The city election has come
and has passed, and the sun
continues to shine. The cleo
tion has demonstrated another
important lesson, and that is,
that personal abuse never wins
the approval of the intelligent
voter. Men generally judge
right, and act upon their calm
judgement, and have long since
reached the conclusion that a
man may be a Democrat, and at
the same time be a Gentleman.
All the virtue, and good of the
human race is not confined to
any one party or church, but in
every party and church may be
found the loftiest patriotism,
and may perhaps, contain some
Of the very men against whom
we vote. Mankind, as a general
thing, intends to do right, and
if they err, it is an error Of the
head and not of the b. ri The
people differ, both in religion
and politics, and in other mat
tiers, but it cannot be true that
all the virtue, intelligence, and
morality is confined to any one
party, section or church. We are
all of one common clay, poor at
best, but such as we are, let US
try to make the best of our lot,
and thus try to make life's jour
ney as pleasant as possible for
our ieother. 1t is always better
to give a rose than a thistle,
better to speak a good word Of
our fellows, even if they are
candidates for office, than to say
unkind thing of any. We once
fell out with an old chap, whom
we thought desperately mean,
and we could only tell him so,
and after it was all over, we
felt as mean as we knew him 10
be, and we would have recalled
our ugly remarks if we could.
Now, as we ..have made our
selection of city officers, let US
see to it. that we give to them
a hearty support in every act of
theirs that may be calculated to
promote the best interest of the
city and the business interest:
of all t.as people thereof. They
are our officers, although we
may not have helped to elect
them th.s lection is the result
of the vo.ce of the majority, le-
gally expressed, and with the
result, all should feel a disposi-
tion to shout for the winners,
and help make the city better
by their election.

A year or two ago the city
council of Burlington raised
the personality assessment of
I. w. Barhydt, a capitalist Of
that city, from nothing to $780,
900. Mr.. Barhydt fought the
assessment in the courts on
the ground that he had taken
| up his residence in California
on account of unjust tax laws,
and the courts have sustained
him. Il is said that much Of
the property charged up to him
vas in stocks Of c ,mpanies in
other states which had already
paid tax to those states, and
that the action of the Burling-
ton council meant double taxa
tion and nothing else. Mr..
Barhydt and his capital have
been driven from Iowa as the
estates of Governor Drake at
Centerviile and the Reckwiths
and McCluras of Mt. Pleasant
We're driven out of Iowa by un.
juss tax laws. There is one of
the reasons why Iowa is losing
IN population. Iowa's unjust
laws . gaiast corporations are
driving other interests from
the state, or forbidding them
entry. And the average legis-
lature understands the situation
but is too cowardly to deal with
it.-Fairfield Ledger.

Improvement League.

Improvement League.
The Missouri Valley League
is working to increase the men,
bership to at least two hundred
this year. 1t will not be hard
to reach that number if each
lady who belongs to the League
will take a little time to see her
friends and invite them to uni
te with the League, and work
for its interest. We can if we
try, be able to do much good
for the cause this year. We now
have something to work for,
something that every Lady is,
or should be interested in and
/ feel proud Of, aud that is our
Public Library now under way,
and every citizen of this city !,
and surrounding country should
feel proud of. 1t is true that
there are always those who DO
not approve of the League, but
| think the majority of the peo-
pie d., and why not all work
together for the common good?
The work is now under way,
the city is now on the verge of
a big boom, and why not the
Ladies of the Improvement
League help to "boost" and so
have a part in the good work?
You can't get away from the
fact, that whatever is done in
this city must be done through
the instrumentality of the citi-
zens. Now think wisely of what
we Ladies of the Improvement
League and it's friends can do
the coming year. If we stand
back and wait on each other, or
wait until we can all work at
the same time, we will never be
ready to do anything, for that
time will never come.
1t may be the officers are not
just the ones you would have
selected. There are always OBJ
jections to some, but is that a
sufficient reason to say that the
officers of the League are not
to your liking, but are they not
the equals of any similar num-
ber that might be found in. the
city? Why not lay aside your
objections, if there be any, and
come get in touch with all that
is to do, and boost for Missouri
Valley, and work for the beau
tiful Library building now be-
ing constructed. Let every La :
dy that belongs to the League,
try to bring a new member, and
let the new members make an
effort to bring their friends,and
by SO doing boost the League,
and help on the good work.
Mrs. Margaret D. Myers,
President.

Muskogee, Okla, March 20
Mr.. and Mrs. Frank Scott of
Highland. Kan, are seeking a
home in this state with plenty
of land. They will need it, for
although they have been mar
ried not quite ten years they
are the parents of nineteen
children, all boys, and thirteen
OF th n living. They hold the
reco i for triplets, having five
sets to ,iseir credit, and two
sets of twins All of the thirt-
cen boys living are under 5
years.
Recently the SCOTS, deciding
that they must find more land,
went to Alberta, Canada. They
we're not satisfied there and re
-urned. On their return trip
Mrs. Scott and her thirteen
.hildren all rode on one first
lass ticket. At Omaha the
onductor made a vigorous pro-
est.
"Ma lam, you cannot carry a
whole Sunday school along
with You on that one ticket, "he
said, "and you need not tell me
those are all yours. You will
have to pay for them"
"The rules of the railroad
provide that a child under 5
years may ride free, when ac-
complained by it's parent with a
first class ticket, don't they?"
retorted Mrs. Scott.
"They do, but you will have
to show me-"
Mrs. Scott dug down in her
valise and brought out the fam
lily Bible, in which was record
ed the names and ages of each
Of the children. The conduct
or had to give in. The mother
and children occupied five

old; Arthur and Arnold twins
81; Allan. Almon and Albin,

A STEADY DRAIN

Sick Kidneys Weaken the

Sick kidneys weaken the
body through the continual
drainage of life-giving albu-
men from the blood into the
urin7, and the substitution of
poisonous uric acid that goes
broadcast through the system,
sowing the seeds of disease.
Loss Of albumen causes weak
ness, languor, depression Uric
poisoning c uses rheumatic
pain, ne BUSINESS, nausea,
cricks in u, back, gravel and
kidney ones. The proper
treatmen is a kidney treat

1T seems scarcely necessary to
say here that a dirty, ill-kept ice
box is a grave danger to health Or
course, the modern porcelain or
glass-lined cabinets are most desir-
able and very easily kept clean. I'm
fortunately, these are, as yet. not
the majority. However. sanitary
ice-box is possible to every house
wife who demands it. Be careful
not to spill food on the shelves:
cover closely all eatables to be put
away; insist upon clean ice; scrub
and scall the inferior of the ice-box
with strong soda-water once week,
completing the operation by pouring
down the drain solution of Platt's
Chlorides, an odorless disinfectant.
An ice-box drain should never be
closely connected with the general
sewerage system, unless this has
been done in perfectly sanitary
way by a responsible plumber. To
save the constant emptying of the
waste water, a rubber tube may be
fitted over the small drain-pire, in
the bottom of the ice-box, and led
out Of doors through small hoe in
the floor and other necessary out
lets, being finally carried away as
surfacewater."
