MAKING THE
 REAL HOME.

Some one has called the real home a happy combination of conditions" It is just that. No one thing alone makes a home, but various elements happily combined.
 Naturally factor in the combination is money. It is not so much the possession of money or the lack of it that counts as the way in which it is used
 Generally speaking. men are the money getters, and women are the money spenders. This system puts a great responsi- bility on the women. The woman is. in the final analysis. the home maker, and if her home is to be a real one she must spend the family income wisely. be it great or small. There is no surer way for her to make each dollar bring It's full value of comfort and good cheer than by keeping herself informed as to what is in the market. where it is to be had. and at what price; by reading each day the advef- tisements in THE BULLETIN
 and other geed news papers.

They Crossed the Southern Part OF
the State in 1886.
1.-THE year 1886 was marked by a
treaty for the departure Of one race
from western Iowa and by the perma :
nent advent of another. Before the
exit of the Pottawattamies came the
Mormons fleeing from their enemies.
These refugees traversed the southern
part of the Territory of Iowa, thru the
settled counties and then the remain
ing two thirds of the distance over a
roadless. bridgeless, unpeopled stretch
of country.
1.-The Mormons encountered no OPP
position; they passed the Indian viii
lage in what is now the western part
of Cass county. and when they reached
the Council Bluffs agency in June. they
were welcomed in a most friendly man
ner, winning the hearts of the Indians
by giving a concert at their agents
residence. Opposite Bellevue. at Trad
er's Point, the Indians had cut an APP
proach to the river and established a
ferry: they now did big business
carrying over, in the fiat bottom boats
the families and wagons. and the cows
and sheep of those Mormons who were
to spend the next few months at Win
ter Quarters Con the site of Florence

kEokUk SEVENTY YEARS AGO.
Was at That limo Only . Small VII


lage.
At this time when keokuk. Iowa,
Is attracting so much attention on ac-
count OF the recent opening OF the
great dam across the Mississippi 1t Is
interesting to note how the Gate City
looked to q traveller seventy years ago.
In September. 1S43. James Harlan. who
later became United states senator
from Iowa, took II trip from Indiana
into what was then the Territory of
Iowa. He kept a diary and the fol-
lowing extract descriptive OF keokuk
is printed in biography of Senator
Harlan which has just been published
by the State Historical Society OF
Iowa:
1.-The town Of keokuk at this date
was not attractive. The bluffs were
precipitous, and approached so close
to the river as to leave room only for
very narrow wagon road. located
close up to the waters edge, and one
somewhat long row of buildings on the
other side of this driveway, where
they seemed to be engaged In a sort
of life and death struggle with the
rugged hills to secure room to stand on.
This only business street was undu-
lating. crooked. and unimproved In any
way. The houses were small and prim-
tive and only one story in height.
One of them only was made OF bricks:
a very few were frame. and the resi-
due were constructed of logs. The
residence part Of the town was To-
Gated on the bluffs. and was even less
inviting in appearance than Its bust
ness street."

Campaigning in Early Days.

strenuous business even in these days

Is rather tame now compared with
what it was In the early days in Iowa.
when there were no railroads and when
roads were uncertain and bridges few.
In biography Of James Harlan. writ
ten by Mr.. johnson Brigham, state
librarian, which has just been pub
lished by the State Historical Society
Of Iowa. there Is the following account
of Harlan's campaign for state super
intendent In 1s47: r
IAN elaborate schedule Of dates
was arranged and published in the
newspapers. and on the last day of
February Harlan set out from Iowa
City on his arduous campaign. going
FIRST into the southern part of the
state. Hearty hospitality was the gen.
eral rule everywhere. but successful
meeting at one point was often fol-
lowed by disappointingly small au-
dience at the next. Frequently no an
nouncement had been made of the can
dtdate's coming. and long, difficuult
journey was thus made of no avail.
Bad roads were encountered every
where and there was vexations delays
caused by foods and Indictment
