What Fioureheads Mean.

When the wall of city was built

was laid in ancient times men used
to supply the edifice with guardian

regarded as mascots.

FIRST BOOK ABOUT IOWA
Written by Albert M. Lea and Pub
iished in 1896.

What was probably the first book
devoted entirely to the Iowa country
its people, and its resources, was a
little ffty-page book called Notes on
Wisconsin Territory" It will be re
membered that in 1885, just before
this book was written, the Iowa coun-
try became a part OF Wisconsin Ter
ritory This explains the title OF the
booklet, for the contents have to do
solely with the country now embraced
in eastern Iowa. The writer was Al
bert NJ Lea, after whom the city of
Albert Lea in Minnesota was named.
He was well acquainted with the Iowa
country which he had traversed dur.
ing the summer OF 1885 with a com
pany OF United States Dragons.
The book is exceedingly rare Only
a few copies are known to be in exist
ence, one Of which is preserved in the
library OF the State Historical So.
ciety. There are three chapters in
the little volume, the first containing
a general description Of the Iowa
country, its climate, soil. products,
population. commerce and government
Chapter two deals with the rivers and
creeks: and the third chapter is de
voted TO the early towns and villages,
some OF which are now cities. while
others have long since disappeared

THE IOWA WOMAN.

Marshalltown Times Republican:
Why all this worry over the Iowa wo
man? She has never disgraced the
state. Why worry?
An Iowa woman now and then plays
the fool Iowa women are not all
perfect. II they were they couldn't
live In the same state with Iowa men.
Every now and then some Iowa man
plays the fool. The fact is that more
men than women In Iowa make fools
OF themselves.
The Iowa suffragist is pretty fair
match for the average male voter.
She has quite as much sense Of pro
priety and is to be trusted quite as
far as the politicians. She may not
know as much about politics" as her
contemporary of the other sex, but
she may know more politics. The
women's clubs in the towns accom-
plish about as much as the mems
clubs do and don't cost q third OF the
money.
When the Iowa women are to be es-
timated for their public worth base
the estimate on the ladies' aid so
ciety. That's where women have had
full sway and swing. It has been her
main organization. And it is the big
gest winner of any organization In
town. any town. It accomplishes more
with less and with less fuss than any
he outfits in the business. 1t says 1t
will raise SO much money and raises
it. 1t starts something and finishes 1t.
When the women break into public
life on an equality they will do lot
OF things that mere man has figured
out as impossible. And they viii dc
1t without turning the town upside
down or fighting in the streets. When
they start out to get money they'll gel
it. When they start to get action
through city officials they'll get what
they go after or know the reason why
Let's quit worrying over the Iowa
woman She's worth worrying about
but there's no need of it. 1t is Dor
rowing trouble. She always has TAX
en- care Of herself and managed us
and little thing like the right to yota
isn't going to change her much.

1t is unlikely the temporary invali-
dalton OF the law will make any
change in the vice situation in Iowa
cities. There is a possibility the SUI
preme court will condone the faults
