PLUM BLOSSOMS.

PLUM BLOSSOMS.
The angel of earth's spring cam,
down,
From fields of Paradise,
And called unto the meadows brown
"Ope now your violet eyes"
The meadows sighed, then whispered
low,
We fear the winters wrath.
His blighting breath doth coldly blow
Above the aftermath !"
The angel smiled, then softly sang
OF golden days to be;
And bark. the woodland echoes rang
The mock-bird's threnody,
The March skies heard the enchanting
sound
And smiled with keen delight;
A thrill went through the pulsing
ground,
And 10, springs banners white
Unfurled in camp imbrowned we're
seen,
While bugle calls rang sweet
From lips of south winds Ger the
green,
To winters swift retreat.
Geo. e. Tack in the Royal Blue.

the richest in the world She has
more tillable acres than any like area

The state was paradise for the red
men before the whites came For The
white race she has been the center
from which has radiated a leaven of
brain, Drawn, beauty, wealth and

And now in the morning of another
bountiful season we are lazily and
slowly awakening to the fact that
while we are feeding world of peo-

the country with prominent citizens

scratched the surface of our boundless
resources
We have been sleeping all unmind-
full OF the rich stores In our soil, OF
the beauty of our woodlands, orr
streams and our fields and meadows,
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 rich
ness to chase rainbows in other lands
But now there Is coming better
day We can beat the world raising
apples and some other fruits. No
land can compare with us in the quail
ity and quantity Of our corn, our cat
tie and hogs and vegetables Our
climate is manly and healthful. 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 possibili-
ties ard the glories of the old Hawk
