FOR IOWA
Boosters of the State in Movement
to Help Iowa.
BUY GOODS MADE IN IOWA.
Iowa Manufacturers to Hold Monster
Exposition to Exploit Iowa
Goods to Iowa
People.

government and political, is about
to blaze the trail for sister states in
an industrial and commercial cam
paign which will have for its object
the education Of its own people to
the use of Iowa made goods. Within
the past two years Iowa has develop
/ ed into booster state and effective
booster organizations have been
formed in many Iowa municipalities,
all amply financed and all making
excellent headway.
The new move is made In Iowa
Campaign" and as usual in Iowa,
unique methods are going to be en-
ployed. Instead of the time worn
custom of calling together the citi-
zens of a town and preaching to
them the necessity of patronizing
home industries which
usually resolves itself into sermon
delivered by some local merchants
Iowa is going to have a series Of
Iowa made expositions. The plan
has not been definitely decided on
but it is proposed now to organize
an exposition company mot for
pecuniary profit" and arrange with
as many Iowa manufacturers as are
willing to cooperate in this move
ment to prepare an exhibit to be
used consecutively in the larger
cities of the state. The only reason
the expositions will not go into the
smaller towns this year is because
the smaller towns have no buildings
large enough to house the exposi-
ton.
A special effort will be made to
get together all of the manufacture
ers of commodities which are used
by the average citizen, such as cloth
ing, food products. household uten-
sils, etc. When it comes TO the
larger products such as steel cars,
wagons, automobiles, locomotives
and a. host of other big things which
Iowa manufacturers, it will be Inn
practical to transport exhibits all
over the state and for this class 1t is
proposed to arrange Photographic
exhibits.
The best salesmen that the respec-
tive manufacturers employ will be
sent out with the exhibit and in this
way it is hoped not only to acquaint
the people throughout Iowa with
those products made in Iowa, but in
cidentally, to actually sell goods. the
profit on which will at least pay for
the entire enterprise.
The results will be three fold-ad-
vertising for the manufacturer, a
better sentiment throughout the
state and probably a profit on the
goods disposed of. No goods will be
sold from the exhibits. but orders
will be taken for delivery from the
factory or through jobbers and re-
tailers as the case may be.
The idea originated with the
Greater Davenport Committee and
the first exposition will be held In
Davenport. The time for Holding
these expositions has not been de-
cided, but Davenport is working on
the scheme in the hope of starting
the series of expositions in January
or February.

objection to this lies in the difficulty

Winter rye may be profitably grown

Much may also be accomplished BY
narrowing spring grain. The grain
may be narrowed two to four times
with much profit to the grain and with
great injury to the thistles. 1t Is not

they FURNISHED with pebble-polishers

But they were beginning to know
