The Rural Home.

Des Moines Register and Leader:
The problem of Iowa is presented In
the question with which George e.
Roberts closes long letter to Com
merce and Finance.
AS one man has as good a right to
live in town as another, what can be
done about It?
The answer suggests itself at once
make rural life more attractive than
town life. But between saying thai
and realizing 1t is the distance Iowa
and every agricultural state mus
travel before they have come to the
end of their stint.
The problem OF rural life just al
this time is the rural school, the rura
church and social center, the rura
road. 1t Is the farm renter also.
Iowa should have the ideal rura
home of the world, In our moments
of boasting we speak of Iowa as the
garden spot. Iowa is not garden
spot, but 1t should be, and may be
made the garden spot. Nature has
done her part.
But Iowa will not have the idea
rural home until roads and schools
and social advantages are just as
much the features of farm life as O
town life, and until the farm owner
and the farm renter are men inter
ested in the soil and what can be
done with 1t under intelligent cultiva
ton.
There is no other field in which
Iowa can excel. Other agricultural
states have mines also, and grea
commercial opportunities. Iowa has
only agriculture. Iowa can be tht
greatest agricultural state in the
world Every other door to suprem
acy is locked.
Iowa can turn the townward' trenc
in ten years by setting about it witt
determination and an intelligent ap
probation of just what is involved.
Why should Iowa hesitate to tak'
leadership in movement that no
only means so much for the state, bu
so much for the world?
/ The rural home should be thu
j watch-word of Iowa.

OCTOBER.


The month OF carnival Of all the year.
When nature lets the wild earth on
It's way
And spend whole seasons on single
day.
4 The spring-tfme holds her white and
purple dear;
October, lavish, flaunts them far and
near;
| The summer charity her reds doth lay
] Like jewels on her costliest array;
October, scornful burns them on a
bier.
The winter boards his pearl of frost
in sign
OF kingdom; winter pearls than
Caesar knew,
Or empress wore in Egypt's ancient
line,
October, feasting meath her dome OF
blue,
Drinks at single draught, slow
filtered through
Sunshiny air, as in tingling wine.

Where's Mother?
When Father came from work at night,
Before he'd wash his hands and
face,
Or hang his hat upon the peg,
His glance would wander round the
place,
And if dear Mothers sunny head
Was not within his VISIONS ken,
He'd search for her from room to
room,
Upstairs and down and all, and then
He'd stop and ask,
Where's Motherg''
But if he found her in her chair,
He'd potter off about the lot,
And pick mess Of early greens,
Or fix chicken for the pot;
He'd mend fence, or set hen,
Or do some other homely chore,
With only now and then a glance
Toward the half open kitchen door
That seemed to ask,
Where's Mother?"
When Mother left us sorrowing
He followed her within day:
And while We laid white flowers
around
His smooth-brushed hair, as white
as they,
We could but think that when the light
And beauty of that wondrous place
Burst on his newly-quickened gaze,
He must have raised an eager face.
And simply asked
Where's Mother?"
