THE MAN FROM UTAH.
By George Wood Anderson.

Written especially for Public Opinion
The man from Utah, who, in re-
turning from a visit to Europe, in
passing the statue Of liberty, said:
If you ever want TO see me again,
old girl, you will have to look the
other way" expressed loyalty for
home and native land that is most
refreshing, to say the least.
He had been drawn to Europe with
wondrous tales of strange sights,
pleasing climate and fascinating joys
among peoples of other tongues, but,
disguised with the hardships Of
travel, and finding nothing to COM
pare with the granduer of the rugged
Rockies or the sun-kissed skies of
Utah, he returned to the scenes OF
his boyhood, every heart-throb being
a song of pride and loyalty for the
place he called home.
Loyalty to our homes, loyalty to
our neighbors, loyalty to our town,
state and country, is one OF the
mightiest factors working to make
America the greatest nation the
world has ever known.
In days of old, every city and ham
let needed the physical loyalty of all
its people; today the financial 10y
atty is in need as we'll; for the days
of small principalities are gone. Old
methods of warfare are past, but the
spirit of conquest remains the same.
Never satisfied, it still reaches out
for other worlds to conquer.
The spirit of conquest remains. A
merchant loses his trade to skillful
store general in another town or city,
who, marshaling his forces, boldly
seeks to enlarge his kingdom.
The only defence against such as
saults is constant, judicious adyer-
Using. He who neglects will certain
ly fall before the mighty advance
ment of these more active forces.
Loyalty to his home should make
every man an advertiser.

WHAT IN HARVEST OF LOVE.
husbands Make a Big Crop Fol-
Women, But a Skittish Crop
as Rated.

A husband is woman's desire I'M
til she gets one and tribute to her
powers forever after.
Husbands may be procured tall
and short, however, that a tall hus-
band will become short after he has
been married while. Young hus-
bands are considered easier to train
than old ones, and for this reason a
to compensate.
Husbands appear at receptions,
bridge parties and weddings and are
usually allowed the run of the prem
lses, provided they amuse themselves
n harmless manner and are not
noisy. Meanwhile their wives gather
the news.
Husbands are presented with neck
ties, shaving sets and coupon brand
cigars at Christmas and receive the
bills for the same the first of Janu-
airy. Sometimes they are presented
with twins. In these cases the bills
are more regular feature.
Husbands brag at the Office of
their masterful methods, and then
agree perfectly with their wives
views upon returning home. Many
husbands with good department
marks are allowed to remain out on
Saturday evenings untii 900 o'clock.
If the weather is chilly this outing is
often accompanied with toothache,
and the husbands arrive home smell
ing strongly of Glove. In such cases
the wives are afflicted with equal
parts of sympathy and suspicion.
Husbands should remember that
wives are fond of books-check
books and pocketbooks. In double
harness high checks are favored over
low ones, and the reign is often in
the hands of the woman.-Satire.

INCREASE IN FARMERS.
Farm Population of Iowa Shows Big
Gain During Past Twelve
Months.

More farmers are moving into
Iowa than are moving out of the
state, according to the railroads.
While statistics show that several
hundred carloads of household effects
have been moved out of the state,
the Rock Island and other roads
have figures showing that Iowa has
gained more farmers in any given
year than it has lost, although a diff
ferent impression prevails.
A. w. Eberhart, division freight
agent for the Rock Island, and one
o the best railroad men in the west
on this subject, said that there are
three classes of farmers. Those are
the pioneer who takes up land, next
the man who buys the land for from
$40 to $50 per acre for speculative
purposes, and third, the man who
settles down to stay.
The farmers who move out of the
state are of two classes, the renters,
who with a small sum of money can
get farm in new country at
moderate price, and the man who
finds that he can sell out to good
advantage and who believes that he
can raise more crops and make more
money by buying a larger tract in
new country
The latter class do not farm the
land closely. They prefer to realize
! from acreage rather than from more
intensified farming. They sell at an
advanced price to the man who farms
every inch of ground and gets all he
can out of the SOIL Iowa soils where
properly farmed, declared Mr.. Eber-
hart, are as rich as any in the coun-
try. IF the new territories were
| farmed as closely as the old ones
when a scientific man gets on the
property" he said, there would be
no need of going into new territory
to get more land"
Sometimes a farmer finds a family
of children growing up whom he
feels he must give a start later in
life if he hopes to keep them inter-
ested in the farm. He sells his own
farm at an advanced price and buys
section in the northwest. This is
cultivated by the family and when.
the children grow to mans estate
the farmer has valuable farm which
is cut up into smaller sections and
given to the children.
There is in the spring large
movement of renters out of one Sec
ton of the state into another. One
class of renters is always on the
move After living year or so on
place they tire of it and hunt up a
new farm on which they hope to do
better. This movement from one
section of Iowa into another gives |
the impression that there is large |
moveemnt of farmers into other Sec
lions of this country and Canada.
1t is the history of farm land that
it is cut up after few years into
small farms and passes into many
hands, only to be eventually bought
up again piece by piece to pass into
the hands of few of the weather.
