Should Conserve Wild Flowers.

Iowa land is getting high in price
and the high price requires dividends
which forces every available acre to
be put to the production of some
cash-producing crop with the result
that the wild flowers are being ex.
terminated" said F. C. Pellet. of At
lantic. Native plants are desirable
as ornamentals and with a little care
in establishing them one can have a
continuous bloom of the native wild
flowers from April until killing frosts
in October. Beginning with the blood
root when the frost is out in the
spring through a long list including
addertongues. Dutchman's breeches,
violets, waterleaf, wild phlox, cam
pion and ending with the asters and
snake root, which are killed by the
frosts at the other end of the season,
We have a continuous display of ma
tive Iowa flowers worthy of preserva-
ton. Once established in proper sit.
uation the wild garden remains per-
manently with minimum of atten.
tion."

INCREASE IN VALUES
Land In Iowa Will Be More Valu-
able Each Year, Says Curtis
IS BEST SIGN OF PROSPERITY
The Fact That This States Farm
Land Has Reached the Present
Prices Is Evidence 1t Is the
Best Investment.

Des Moines.-"If Iowa people will
invest all of their money in Iowa for
the next ten years, the farm lands of
the state will be worth from $500 to
$500 an acre and the population Of
the state will double"
The foregoing statement was made
by Prof. C. F. Curtiss of the Iowa
State college at Ames, in an address
before the agricultural convention,
held in the house chamber at the
state house.
Professor Curtiss spoke enthusiast
tically Of the outlook for Iowa under
the intensified farming" idea. He
quoted statistics to show the rapid
advance made by the farmers of the
state in the last ten years and added
that the limit of productiveness of
the soil has not been reached.
In commenting upon the rapid ad-
vance in the price of Iowa farm lands,
Prof. Curtiss said the advance was
inevitable, and a good talking point
for residents of Iowa Prof. Curtiss
warned the farmers to stay away
from state whose land values are
not increasing. He said the increase
In value of land is the best sign of
prosperity and good place to make
an investment.
The speaker took to task the great
number of people who have left Iowa
for cheap lands in other communi-
ties, and added that most of them
wish now they had remained in
Iowa, or could get back for what it
cost them to get out.

Ames spoke on the value of the colt
shows at county and district fairs.

this line the shows at Madrid, Ankeny
and other fairs where the shows are
made a part of the fairs. He sug-
gested stallion show for the spring

law-making Lawyers


What this country needs is more
business men and less lawyers in
our public offices and particularly in
congress and in the state legisla-
tures,' said a prominent visitor. 1--WE
have had SO many lawyers in con-
gress and In our state legislatures
that the courts can no longer be sure
how to interpret the laws which
these lawyers make. wish that we
could get rid Of about ninety per cent.
of the lawyer-legislators and put some
good solid business men in their
places. We would have more sensi-
BILE laws and certainly we would have
laws affecting the business life of
the states and the nation which would
be blessing instead OF creating fear
and disturbance until the higher
courts had had an opportunity to pass
on them. Let US have more business
men and fewer lawyers and profess
sionai politicians in our legislative
halls and we will have more bust.

Citing the Home Savings bank case
the court says: From whatever point
the subject be viewed, the govern,
ment bonds held by state and savings
banks must be deducted from the
value of the property to be assessed.
