JUDGE TowNER,s VIEWS.

In late interview in Washington
Judge H. II. Towner, representative
in congress from the Eighth district
of this state, pointed with pride to
the fact that in all the crash and
smash of things last year Iowa made
til best Republican showing of all
the states on the map. Speaking along
this line he said:
Iowa is really a strong Republican
been somewhat talked about for hav-
for having a slight strain of in
surgency, the usual summing up and
windup shows 70 to be after all the
best and most loyal Republicans,
especially when it becomes time for
national election and for support
of a Republican administration Our
action of last year in electing almost
solid Republican delegation indi-
Gates our Ioyaity.
With a national campaign coming
on, I have no dolbt about the Iowa
Republicans. They will stand pat

Iowa are handing him an unauaIi-
fed endorsement OF his reciprocity
proposition. Rather would say that
the Republicans of Iowa are against
that proposition as the President
urges it, but there is generous gort

sincere ideas on reciprocity We

PLENTY OF HICKORY NUTS.
Trees Are Fairly Overloaded With
Luscious Meat.


+ WINTERSET. Iowa, July 81. Not
in years have the shell bark hickories
been SO loaded with nuts. Every
twig seems to have its cluster and
even now the branches are com

The only thing that could happen to
the hickory nut crop and spoil the
fun of the boys and girls is the con
tinued drought. What effect dry
July would have on a hickory nut is
something that even the oldest set
tier cannot answer. The walnut trees
are loaded even more than the hick.

WHERE THE GRASS is GREEN.
wish / we're where the grass is
green,
Where cooling brooks to the rivers
run,
long for the hills and wales between,
am tired of land that has only
sun.
Tired, so tired OF the dunes Of sand,
The cactus bush and the pepper tree,
The air that withers a burning land
And the hotter air. of burning sea.
Oh, for breath Of the prairies wide,
The dear, wild rose in the cooling
June,
And the change that comes with the
Cbristmastide
And the blessed rays Of a summer
noon.
Tired am I Of the skies of brass,
The burned up rivers forever dry,
Give me the sight of the dear, green
grass,
And the song of the brook that is
passing by.
These, and the smell Of the new
mown hay,
And the dew on the fields when the
night is done;
IT'S there, It's there, would always
stay,
Nor dream Of land that has only
sun.
