Council Bluffs Nonpariel: Her hills,
valleys and woodlands are the rich
est in the world. She has more till
able acres than any like area in the
world.
The state was paradise for the
red men before the whites came.
For the white race she has been a
center from which has radiated a
leaven of brain, Drawn, beauty,
wealth and character to bless and
benefit all the sister. states in the
union.
And now in the morning of an
other bcuntiful season we are lazily
and slowly awakening to the fact
that while we are feeding world
of people and furnishing other sec
tions of the country with prominent
citizens and officers, we have as yet
but scratched the surface of our
boundless resources.
We have been sleeping all un-
mindful Of the rich stores in our
soil, of the beauty of our woodlands,
our streams and our fields and mea-
dows, rich in luxurious abundance.
And while we slept our young men
have been lured from their native
heaths by the siren songs of the
cities and the ever appealing lure of
the golden west. We have ignored
our own richness to chase rainbows
in other lands.
But now there is coming a better
day. We can beat the world raising
apples and some other fruits. No
land can compare with us in the
quality and quantity of our corn, our
cattle and hogs and vegetables. All
we need to do is stop shutting our
selves up in stuffy rooms and away
from the Iowa ozone which reddens
the cheek as it does the surface of
the Jonathan apple.
We are waking UP to our posi-
bilities and the glories of the old
Hawkeye state. Wherever our sons
have roamed they still love and still
cling fondly to the memories of the
old mother state, and wherever two
or three are gathered together they
organize an Iowa society. To be
born in Iowa is a badge of honor
the world over. We should not be
less loyal at home than our sons are
abroad. Let us boost for Iowa. Let
us stamp made in Iowa" on all our
NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. stamps the
brand our our corn, cattle and
swine as it stamps "W" on the wings
of the locusts-and in this manner
turn streams Of gold toward our
borders as in years past they have
flown from us.

Gallup and Verde Oil Prospects

Gallup and Verde Oil Prospects
 A report from Gallup says that the oil industry at that place is in- creasing in importance every day. It is said that the quality of the oil produced is excelled no where in the country and that it is far supe- rior to most of the southern Cali. fornia oil.
 It is thought by many that the Gallup grade of oil will be struck in the Verde country as soon as sinking begins. The interest in the proposed industry in that section has uot abated. Locations have been made from Box canyon on the north to a point near Camp Verde, strip 30 miles long, averaging over two miles in width and ap- proximating 50,000 acres in filings. Even the agriculturists have for saken the blow to set up monu- ments of the many locations. It is thought that large portion of the locations are not in the mineralized belt. Three large companies have been formed to operate in the valley.
