IOWA a RICH MANS STATE.
Also the Poor Mans, for 1t is the
State Where the Poor Become Rich.

Some men were sitting in a North
western car yesterday looking out at
the passing panorama of fields and
farms The talk was worth listening
to. They had been on an extended
business trip which had taken them
over Indiana, Wisconsin and Illinois.
Along over in Northern Illinois these
men concluded that they had seen no
country which gave such evidences of
prosperity and of excellent crops. 1t
was certainly a fat land and the men
from the wooden nutmeg state and the
stony New York hillsides agreed that
they were looking on the ultimate of
fertility and prosperous farms. But
the train ran on and crossing the riv-
err rushed into Iowa. Along at Dewitt
the Fasteners began to exclaim. AS
they came on west and the marvel of
Iowa production unrolled before their
eyes they exclaimed to one another as
low country people call to one anoth-
er when they first see the mountains.
At Marshalltown they had changed
all previous impressions for one def
mite conclusion that the garden of
Eden simply could not have been more
fruitful or better adapted to human
habitation and happiness. But
broke out one of them, this can be
no poor mans country. What does
this land sell at an acre?' And the
reply, which put the price of farms
around 5000 an acre settled his con-
viction that this is rich mans coun-
try.
as we'll. He did not and probably
could not understand that men start
without dollar and buy and pay for
Iowa farms at the high prices the
kind of men who deserve such farms
as he saw by reason of business abil-
ity, industry and frugality. He saw
the farm worth a kings ransom and
failed to see the quarter of century
of patient toll and careful manage
ment which has gone to paying off
the mortgages. He saw the completed
fact and not the ever present possible
ity of the poor man with lifetime
ahead of him and the ambition and ca
pacity to make good.
Iowa is an object lesson in prosper
| ity Nothing should make the Iowan
better satisfied with his state than
this comparison with other states
which is never odious to Iowa what
ever it may seem to its sisters. Mar
