Cedar Falls elected him TO the school

money. Cedar Falls and the rest of

Now this was 40 more than Henen-
way ought to do. He owed IT. Given
natural ability and ambition Of his
own he still must acknowledge that a
vast part OF his success Classics as

made him. Whatever talent and sa-
sacity he may have displayed the COM

the account were strictly drawn and

fine thing about Henernway is that he
Acknowledges the obligation and is
paying off the mortgage
There are vast number Of men IN
Iowa who are under moral mortgage 10
their communities and have hidden that
mortgage as tax dodger hides his
wealth. The history OF Eemenway re-
peats Itself IN practically every Iowa
community. In each there are men
who have fourished, been honorec,
grown rich and attained large success
partly by reason Of their own ability
and largely by the opportunity afforded
by others. 1t Is a great pity that so
few of them are Hemeaways. There
are men in every community who owe

kind or another.
Hemenway, let Us hope, will live
many years to wtach the merry chill

Ancient Needle Factory?

The discovery Of prehistoric

reused much interest recently. The
dwellings were placed on mounds Of
clay raised above the level of the wa

loom was found under one mound. and
the number of broken bone needles
and bone splinters discovered in an
other mound led the explorers to think
that it may have been the site of an
ancient needle factory.
