When an unripe report of some

those most interested in keeping in the
dark are always ready 10 say that the

When some unlocked for account is

1t is common to hear the charge made
that papers and those connected with
them are untrustworthy. This is not
done by everybody. 1t is not the cry
OF the disinterested: but more often
than otherwise of those whose corns
have been pinched, or whose purposes
nave been foi!ed in part or altogether
On the whole. day after day, year in

In this year OF our Lord, 1911. when
almost every part OF the country has
suffered from drouth ii might be well
10 stop and ponder a. hit-to try and
figure out what section withstood the
long seige any better than Osceola and
adjoining counties. People who left
Iowa years ago for other localities are
now homeward bound, and they are
glad TO get back. They have found by
good hard experience that Iowa. has
never had a crop failure Of conse-
quence, that year in and year out
Iowa soil continues to produce bounu-
full crops OF corn and small grain de-
spite the distressing frown OF the e!e-
uaents as the seasons come and go.
1t only TOO often requires shaking
up at the hands of adversely to bring
some people 70 realize when they
should have been content. Thus good
people have lef, the state of Iowa at
the call OF the CRATER and Spectator
only to be sorry just too late. They
have boueh. cheap lands that produced
for them practically nothing and again
they have purchased at ridiculously
high prices lar6 that has brought them
within easy reach OF bankruptcy. The
lesson has been q severe one 10 these
are more to be pitied than ridiculed.
They have need OF aid and encourage
!nent. This is prosperous state and
there is still plenty Of room for them
and others who are capable and will
ing 10 fight an honest battle with the
soil.
Here in Osceoia county the dry sea
son was as much in evidence as any
where else. The rains. what there
were. hardly Vet the surface, yet more
than an average crop OF small grain
Will be harvested. and the corn prom
ises a bumper yield. What better
recommendation for this section could
any one wish? Certainly few states
can offer better inducements to the
land seeker than Iowa
The moral OF this is: Stay In Iowa
and you won't have to come back"

MAKING SEWERS OF STREAMS.
1Ruclington HaMkeve.l


A number OF years ago, people here
and there began warning the country
against the pollution Of our streams.
To the present there has been little
done in response. Il is generally adj
rlitted that the time will come when
We must stop poisoning the stream
from which our neighbor draws his
supply of drinking water. And 1t is
an admitted fact that no filter that
has been discovered or invented to date
will catch or exclude typhoid and other
disease germs. Learned editors, e!o-
uuent medical men, who are advocat-
ing conservation OF health and preven-
ton of disease, echo the slogan. Not
filtered sewage, but pure natural wa
ter But that is about as far as we
have gone, and as before, we continue
polluting the streams.
In many Of the towns located on
smaller streams, the problem has he
come a real, actual one. just now. The
long drouth has practically wiped OUT
the streams and the poison Of the sew
age becomes danger, not to the town
farther down stream, but to the tow
that Furnishes the sewage. A few dry
seasons like the present may thus be
the cause OF terrible epidemics, and
they may likewise start iowa on the
right way and start it away from the
habit of making sewers Of our beauti-
full streams
It is going TO cost money. But again
i, will be in the line OF prevention OF
disease to stop poisoning our streams
And after all, the cost will be as moth
ing, when compared for instance with
what an epidemic might and probably
would cost the state. Iowa has been
marvelcusly free from great epidemics
these many years. But that is not
saying that Iowa is immune. Some
