of the Iowa Soldiers Home where it
ought to be. This magnificent monu-
ment TOW stands on q site out Of the
way, several blocks from a main thoro-
fare In Des Moines and surrounded by
tumbled down stanties in a very much
neglected residence district. Visitors
to Des Moines never know that there
Is such a monument in existence. The
Daily Capital Of that city admits that
cat present there are many thousands
Of people In Des Moines who could
hardly tell where the monument is To-
Gated"
The G. A r. at their state encamp
naent last sumer resolved that the state
should remove the monument to some
site on the river front where people
could see It but the post at Marshall
town has been busy and resolves that
the soldiers monument should be
placed upon the grounds Of the home
at Marshalltown where the state has
erected It's hospitals and homes for the
surviving veterans. bill has been in
troduoed TO that effect and 1t seems to
appeal TO most men. It is said at Des
Mofnes that the Allison monument
may be erected on the river front site
SO there is not going to be serious
opposition to permitting the soldiers
and sailors monument going TO the
soldiers home. Upon the soldiers home
grounds it would be seen and admired
by people who have a genuine interest

struggle and would stand amid fitting
surroundings az q monument of stone

nection with some simple apparatus for

and cause fattening beeves to lay on far

limited and when such as they have Is
given them icy cold.
The economies it Will effect on
