Good Old Iowa.

Sioux City Journal: The best
place for the average man is the
place where the land is the best.
A good many people have made
money in Iowa and gone away with
it. The Pacific coast and Florida
have offered temptation. When the
temperature in Iowa is hoverir .
around zero wealth of flowers is
attractive to the eye. A rosy pic
ture is presented. 1t is made to APP
pear easy to live in a bower. The
advertisement is the work of ex-
perts; and it is accompanied by
views. No samples of soil are sent
along, and figures on the cost of ir-
rigation are sparingly given. But
the climate is lovely. Vines are in
tangle over arbors of splendid ar
chitecture, and people in good
clothes are out of doors without
wraps. Iowa people are made dis
contented. Their discomfort is
stimulated by transportation COM
panies, and everybody is advised in
bewitching language to get a move
on himself. 1t is a good thing that
the fathers were left to their
own devices, and that is true, also,
of the fathers who pioneered in
Iowa. No one has yet found it pos
sible to live on climate, although
1t has become fashionable to advise
the uneasy and the ailing that if
they want to live, a change of eli
mate is of imperative Importance.
Many influences are at work to
nourish discomfort. The very best
medicine for the average man is
contentment. There is no place on
the earth that is perfect, and there
is no place on earth that can re-
deem a promise of heavenly transfer
on flowery beds of ease. Nature
is prolific in good gifts, but it is a
great equalizer.
The average Iowa climate for a
twelvemonth is as good as any on
the market. 1t is a healthgiving
climate, and it is a climate that
yields abundantly in the company of
industry. There is nothing better
in all the world than a field of Iowa
corn ripening for the harvest. 1t
is the winter security to man and
beast. Flowers are pretty but the
corn is pledge against hunger with
something on the side for the saw
ings bank. And Iowa has its flow
ers as we'll in their season. They
are nourished at the roadside. and
the unplowed field is billowy with
them in the gentle spring time.
The best opportunity for a living
is where the soil is willing to enter
partnership. There is no better
state than Iowa.

MARKET LETTER.
From the Kansas City
Market.

Kansas City Stock Yards, Feb. 20.
"A little more than ten thousand
of stock and feeding cattle were
bought here last week and shipped
to the country. This was four thou
sand head more than were taken
out the same week last year, yet
the trade was called quiet, as COM
pared with the two or three weeks
Immediately preceding last week.
Prices on country kinds did not
change any last week, and averaged
about 25 cents per cwt. higher than
the same week last year. The run
here today is small for Monday,
5000 head, account of big snow
storm all over Kansas City territory
Saturday and yesterday, which ham,
pered loading. The market is about
steady today Net many stock
steers sell under $500, and the
best bring S5.75, feeding steers at
$40 to $685. and stock cows and
heifers are held at stiff rates, $3.50
to $4.75. Killing cattle are weak to
10 lower today, partly under the
bad influence of big run at Chica-
go, and partly because buyers be-
lieve there will be good supply
later in the week. Top fed steers
here today brought $685. bulk to
1915 to 6.25, and quarantine fed
steers sold at $5.15 to $500 here
today. Native cows bring 1878 to
1928, bulls $500 to $5.25, calves
$500 to 1925. Portions of Okla
homa and Texas that have had no
moisture for many months received
good rains last week and grass in
south Texas is getting a nice start.

"A Bad Habit.

There is a habit common among
the young men much more danger
Gus than it appears and which may
lead to results extremely disastrous
the habit of borrowing money. 1t
is habit contracted with great ease
and once started there is no know
ing where ii will end. A few dol
lars are borrowed to please some
passing fancy with every intention
of returning the loan in a short
time. But the thoughtlessness which
caused the purchase of an article
beyond ones means likewise allows
the interval to elapse without any
provision having been made to meet
the obligation. Perhaps half the
debt is ready, but more money is
borrowed from another friend to
complete the amount, and so it con-
tinues indefinitely. Soon a num-
Der Of debts are contracted and how
ever small they tend to burden life
and make it unpleasant and almost
invariably lead to dishonesty.
Young men with small salaries
should by all means avoid the
habit. To do so will necessitate
perhaps many sacrifices, but no dan
gers are run in living within ones
income. And, besides, the habit of
economy and frugality learned
when the income Is small will bear
fruit IN abundance when it is larg-
err. 1t IS safe rule in youth at
least to borrow not"

THE FARMERS WIFE.

Few realize the important part
that the farmers wife has taken in
the country's development. Her
work, her patience, her encourage
ment, her children have made pos
sible the splendid development of
today. When the farm was start
ed, likely on the frontier, with per-
haps but little to start with, she
helped her husband; she managed
the home, cooked, sewed, mended
for the family and at times for the
hired man. In busy times she Of
ten helped with the milking, cared
for the milk, made butter, raised
chickens, managed the garden, Of
ten supplying the necessary grocer
les and clothes with the eggs and
butter money. When hired men
were scarce she even would take a
hand in the field work. No work
was too hard, no trials too severe.
When husband was discouraged she
furnished the hopes, the cheer, the
inspiration to go on. Mortgages
coming due, crop failure, a horse
dying, husband sick. Give up? No,
she never gave up and seldom COM
planned.
By the hard work of husband,
wife and children as they got large
enough to help, and that was almost
as soon as they were able to toddle,
the debts were paid; big barn re-
placed the straw shed or perchance
sod stable; then came the big house,
and often with all the modern con-
veniences-more to care for, but Off
set by hired help. To turn work
over to help is hard for one who has
been used to doing it all herself.
The old memories often come
back; they were happy days-days
Of achievement, days of accomplish
ment. Now John is old enough to
go away to school, and he takes up
medicine; Henry studies to be
lawyer and Jane takes up teaching,
while James has gone to town to
go into business. The old folks are
alone again, except for the occasion
al visit. Soon they bring families;
the home is again the scene of chill
dren's activity, bringing back the
memories of the time when John
and Henry were tots and in all their
activity, mischief and work. Friends
come out from town and from the ad-
joining farms to visit and enjoy the
nice lawn, the inviting shade, the
fruit the roast chicken. They ad-
mire the fine buildings and the splen-
did farm.
We hear much about what the
boys from the farm have done, and
statistics show that 92 per cent of
our presidents have come from the
loi anu do OHly OhC-lhilu VI thC
people live on farms that means
that the farmers wives have fur
nished thirty-five times as many
presidents as the wives in the cities,
twenty-four times as many COVER
nors, eighteen times as many cab
met officers, and so on through civic
and industrial life. Go to any bust
the farm is usually in charge. SO
the farmers wives have been the
mothers of most of the leaders. All
honor and credit to the farmers
wife. Her work, her sons and daugh-
tiers, are her great monument.

Washington Company expected to leave

Inflated Federal express, which met with
disaster early the next morning at

The great disadvantage of the mac
adam system of road construction is
that such roads are peculiarly susceptible
to disintegrating influences-such as
horses hoofs and steet-tired as well as
pneumatic-shod wheels. The only reason
horse-drawn vehicles do not infiict the
greatest damage on all roads, as they
still do on some, is that there are so few
of them, comparatively, now in use.
Until roads are constructed especially
for automobile traffic there will be dust,
and plenty of it.
