MAJORITY OF IOWA COUNTIES

Dies Moines, April 7.-Twenty-four
Iowa counties. with hills and valleys
and rich plains covered with a soil as
fertile and productive as any in the
world. are today inhabitated by fewer
people than dwelled within them twen-
ty years ago. They are: Adams, AL
lamakee. Benton. Cass, Cedar. Clarke.
Clayton, Davis, Fremont, Guthrie, Hen
ry. jackson, Jones' Keokuk, Lee. Lucas.
Madison. Marion, Ringgold. Shelby.
Taylor, Union, Van Buren,, Warren and
Winneshiek.
AS compared with ten years ago the
population today shows loss in sew
enty-one OF the ninety five counties.
According to the last census only twen-
ty-eight Iowa counties gained in popu-
lation during the last decade. But it
is encouraging to note that the i'm.
mense loss in the seventy one counties
was almost made up in the twenty
eight that gained and that the net loss
for the state was only 1852.
Big Cities Grow.
It is interesting to note. from an
examination of the latest census fig
ures, that the greater cities of Iowa
have grown steadily since 1890. Coun-
ties without cities adjoining those pos
sessed of them have lost in the same
period and this loss has occurred al
most entirely in the ten years.
An analysis OF the present situation
shows two facts of absorbing interest
One is that twenty-one Of the twenty
eight counties which increased in pop
ulation in the last ten years contain
cities of 5000 or more. The other is
that the eight most noTthw esterly coun-
ties of the state have all grown in pop
ulation.
These eight growing counties are
even yet sparsely populated as COM
pared with the older sections Of the
state. But they are slowing catching up.
Within all their territory, which Is vast,
Sioux City Is the only metropolis. The
counties in question are Cherokee,
Dickinson, Lyon, OBrten, Osceola, Ply
mouth, Sioux and Woodbury..
How Counties Gained.
Urban counties that have gained and
the city that has in each case made the
gain possible are a. follows: Appa-
moose, Centerville; Black Hawk, Wa
terloo; cerro Gordo, Mason City; Clin-
ton. Clinton; Des Moines, Burlington;
Dubuque, Dubuque; Jasper, Newton;
Johnson, Iowa City: Linn, Cedar Rap

Of extra ordinary interest. For instance,

pressed upon H. Graham and Bert
Nickkerson Thursday when they were
fined s25 each for permitting their team
to mutllate trees about the G. W.
Baughman property. Graham and
Nicaerson are employees of the city
water works and while placing a meter
in a house their horses gnawed the
bark off tree valued by Mr.. Bauzh-
man at $40.
In imposing sentence Judge Caldwell
remarked that it was the height OF
carelessness for any one to let their
horses wander along united to damage
and mutilate shade trees that were
planted for the Identification OF the
city property and highways: that the
second offense would mean q fine of
$50 and a third would draw the limit
Of 500.
The fines Of both men were guaran-
teed by J. p. Berry. superintendent OF
the water works, who will remit by
check next Saturday.

Successful Jewish Colonies.
Both the Zionist movement and the
Jewish Colonization Society have es-
tablished colonies in various parts OF
Palestine. Their contention that some
what of the ancient fertility and pros
perity of the land may be restored is
doubtless correct. Better government,
and better agricultural methods will
revolutionize conditions here, as else
where throughout Turkey. But thus
far there has been no conspicuous
success attending the purely agricul-
tural colonies. The Jew has been too
long away from the soil for that. In
the best of the farm settlements, near
Jaffa, the colonists make use Of Arab
labor. Their own aptitude is for
trade.
At Zamarine. in Galilee, one of the
old Jewish settlements, which has
been in existence for more than TWEEN
ty years, the people, mostly Rouman-
ians, are on basis of self-support,
except for some slight assistance for
the school. Their industry is wine
making. They have quite an Euro
pean community in the midst of Syria.
| The order and cleanliness is in sharp
! contrast with the conditions in III
berias. However, the latter is deeply
religious, whereas one old Hebrew
! told me that the Zamarine colonists
have no religion. Surely, though,
there was nothing less than a relig-
! ious motive back of the words of the
village druggist as he told me that
| the people made q modest living; mot
| SO good as we could make in America,
but then, we are in the Promised
Land, you know"
There are now about two-score Of
Jewish colonies in Palestine, not to
mention those in adjacent lands. The
most successful of all is in the Island
Of Cyprus. The leaders are giving
more and more attention to the crea-
ton of self-supporting bodies, in an
effort to restrict the hurtful effects of
indiscriminate charity. These leaders
are too powerful to have all that they

steadily increase. AS one said to me,
rather cynically, "There is as much
bribery as ever in Turkey, only the
prices come higher" This l hasten to
explain, at least in part, on the ground
that the Young Turks are obliged to
work with the tools that they find
ready to their hands.
The natural increase of the Jewish
population of Palestine must be COM
paratively small, as so large a percen-
tage of the colonists are old people
who have come here to end their days.
These are the more religious element,
and they are largely Spanish and Rus
sian and German Jews. The number
of old persons to be seen in Jerusalem
is a sight full of significance and
pathos.
Jewish "Portons" and Paupers.
That religious zeal is a prime factor
in the Juuaizing of Palestine is evil
silent at glance. Tie men wear dis
tinctive garb, of which the round felt
hat, worn in the hottest weather, with
a white cap underneath, is the most
characteristic feature. This is also
worn by the boys. Even more strik-
ing is the curl in front of the ear,
which is in compliance with a rabbi
nical teaching against trimming the
hair. 1t must be confessed that this
gives a decidedly other-worldly ap-
pearance to the male Jews, especially
since they generally affect the long
cloak or gaberdine.
Most of these persons depend upon
aid from outside of Palestine for their
maintenance. 1t is a very small al
lowance, and SO most of them live in
very meager style. The statement has
been repeatedly made to me in the
Holy Land that Zionism has pauper-
lied the Jews. Certainly their ply
siognomy does not reveal the traits
Of alertness and aggressiveness which
characterize the American Jew. If it
be true, as commonly stated, that ev-
cry Jew here receives his portion, -
from abroad, the effect has been mani
testify deleterious. Able to subsist on
a pittance, the incentive to indepen-
dent labor is removed, with the result
