4 NEW INVASION OF IOWA.

Iowa is to be invaved by another
class of boomers. Companies are now
being formed to boom the abandoned
farms of New York and the New Eng
land states. Those lands can be
bought cheaply. The companies are
buying UP some of them and then
they will come to Iowa and persuade
farmers to sell their good lands IN this
state to buy the abandoned farms IN
the east-at two and three times what
the companies are now buying them
IN for.-Cedar Rapids Republican.
It is hard to understand how any
nroposition such as this could interest
an Iowa farmer. In the first place most
Of these tenantless farms Of the east
have been abandoned because the SOL
is barren. An Iowa man, accustomed
to the rich soil of Iowa. would De
driven to distraction when faced VIII
the problem of raising crop on these
abandoned farms.
instead of selling their good lands in
this state to buy land elsewhere the
Iowa farmer should consider the ad'
visibility of dividing up his farm, and,
if he desires to sell, of selling It IN
small farms Of ten, twenty or Iorty
acres If he has sons, then he could
establish these sons on small farms TO
ha onerated by Intensified farming.
Iowa's soil is too rich and her land Is
too valuable to be farmed as the lano

Is farmed. There are examples on
eyery hand where big returns nave
been secured from small tracts, much
greater returns, proportionately, than
are nossible from big farms. The latest
experiment along this line was con
Quoted by the Greater Des MONIES
committee.

puRANo ON ,owA's CENSUS.

p. Dana Durand, director Of the cen
sus. has written an article for an easy
ern magazine in which he makes PLAIN
to the easterner what has been patenI.
10 all Iowans. that the loss IN rural
population in Iowa, instead OF being
due to lack Of prosperity, is IN realty
direct evidence of the unexampleu
prosperity of the Iowa farmer. MIR: Du-
rand declares that the agricultural sta-
tistics COLLECTED by the census bureau
show an enormous increase IN tne
value of farm property since 1891, AM.
show also that the yield OF principal
crops was at least as great IN l9o9 as
in 1899, and the value of that yield Tar
greater.
.Particularly remarkable says d.,
rector Durand, "are the agricultural
statistics for Iowa in comparison with
the population statistics. Despite con
siderable decrease in the rural popula-
ton. the value of farms, including
buildings. increased during the ten
wears to no less than 117.3 per cent.
The average value of farm land pc.
pcre Increased about two and one-th1rd
times during this short period. Every
nne knows that the farmers in this
north central section have been grow
ing rich. that their homes are more
comfortable, and that they have more
conyeniences than ever before. Why,
then, is the rural population decreas.
ing?
aPerhaps it may be that this very
prosperity OF the farmers accounts FOR
the decline in population. With the
higher prices which they have received
for their products, they could afford 70
buy better machinery, which reduced
the need for labor. Again, it is likely
that many farmers have felt unwilling
to divide up their land among their
sons. reducing each of them to a
smaller farm than his father had en-
1oyed; instead, they have been able.
BY reason of their prosperity, to send
their sons to newly opened agricul-
tural territory in the west or south
west or Canada, and furnish them the
means to start for themselves on d
larger scale than would have been pos
sible at home. In fact, not few own
ers of farms in this middle west coun-
try have leased them to tenants and
themselves gone where they could get
more land at low price"
One of the things Iowa must now
consider is that of checking this ten
dency of sending the young man out
from the Iowa farm to begin life on as
big farm as his father had enjoyed. 3

AS Mr.. Kingsley walked with his
visitor to the hall he asked:

"Since the day after the tragedy.

ness at such moment, but he was so
anxious that should take up the
case"
"And do you see him often?"
"Marcadian appeared rather embar-
rassed by the question.

ment's hesitation. Mutual unhappi-
ness creates q bond of instructive
sympathy, you know l have grown

that Lucie We'll will be married to Mr..
Douglass very shortly, and that she Is

Then, changing the thread OF his con-

pause, using my assumed first name.

his shoulders and said disdainfully:

the necessary sacrifice"
And he persisted, his voice taking a

BANKER WALSH IS
GRANTED A PAROLE
An Order From Washington
Reached Leavenworth Sat
urday Morning.

Leavenworth, Kan, Oct 16.-John II.
Walsh. the former Chicago banker was
released from the federal penitentiary
here shortly after noon today. Accom-
panied by his son, Richard, who had
arrived from the north a short time be-
fore. they entered an automobile and
started at a rapid rate for Kansas City,
where they will board an evening train
for the north.
Richard Walsh arrived in response to
word that his father was ILL., He said
he did not know of the parole until he
reached the prison. Young Walsh
failed to bring his fathers clothes and
the latter departed in suit furnished
from the prison stock.
Mr.. Walsh up to tho time of his pa
role, had served one year, eight months
and 26 days Of his Ave year sentence.
When told Of his release, Walsh ap-
peared greatly pleased. Later it was

day. and that the start for home prob
ably would be made late in the after
noon.
Mr.. Walsh went before the parole
board here on September 26, and pre-
scented his petition for release The
board at the same session, heard the
same session heard the petitions of a
dozen other ex-bankers, besides those
of so prisoners serving sentences for
various crimes.
President Ladow and the other mem
bers Of the board. made their secret
conclusions In the cases a day later.
On September 80, Mr.. Ladow went east
to submit his report to Mr.. Wicker
sham. He would divulge none Of the
boards proceedings except. to say that
the treatment given Walsh was exactly
the same as that accorded the other pc
titfoners.
Walsh went back to work st his task
of clipping newspaper articles. 1t was
stated that Walsh plainly had i'm
proved In spirits from the time he knew
definitely that he was to have an op-
portunity to present his petition. De-
spite his age he performed his prison
duties to the last in a cheerful mood.
John r. Walsh, the former Chicago
banker appeared before the federal
board Of parole in session here on Sep
TENDER 26 and presented his petition
for freedom. The last obstacle to the
granting y! the parole was removed In
August, when the 'United States dis
trict Attorney at Chicago requested
that the remaining indictments against
the aged banker he dismissed.
Walsh's son, Richard Walsh, was
expected to arrive at the prison before
noon. He left Chicago last night.
The order for parole was sent by
