greases II to make 1t lay back over
his head. These and other shafts OF
ridicule the Arrow sends hurting
against the rah rah boy, his clothes and
his hair. Boob" says the Arrow
why doesn't he braid it?"
The archer of the Arrow should go
| back TO mothers old album and dig
| up some of his own Sinking photo
graphs, those he had taken In the
period OF his adolescence and about
the time he was beginning to fuss
around among the girls. There is
nothing so remedial for an attack like
tina. the Arrow is suffering under as
the evidences of the old family photo
graph album There isn't much doubt
| that il would display pictures of the
Arrow man, smirking, self satisfied
pictures that college youth would
scream over Perhaps he had little
strip Of down below each ear and stood
in what he fancied was a. position OF
elegant negligence before a back
ground of luxury painted on screen
the photographer used to stand up be-
hind the victim preparatory to the
commission of the crime. Maybe he
lolled with his legs crossed in big
arm chair. Anyhow he had been 10

VET and plastered down on his head
eli
is more than possible that he had 1t
combed down in a cowlick over ms
forehead and 1t is dead certainty that
he was making a hit with himself and
that the snirk of self satisfaction and
conceit was on his face. Maybe he
might dig up that bridal photograph
where he sits in majesty and she
stands with one hand on his shoulder.
L, need not cause astonishmenr If the
incest presents were grouped and In
cluded in the picture. All the Arrow
man need do Is to take the old album
and do some looking and remember
as ridiculous as the college boy he
lacks the reconstructive capability Of
Cuvier who could take bone and re-
construct the animal II came from
But these college boys with their
ridiculous yells and extraordinary
clothes and hair combed in a fashion
that displeases the Arrow aren't boobs
by long shot That's easy to find
out. Just mix with them. The fact
! is that they know about twice as much
as we old fellows knew at their age and
| that most Of them have wider outlook
and as strong purpose as any Of us
had in our period Of pupase. And as
Illustrating this let the following sent
| TO the T.-R. this morning by manu-
facturer who sells his own goods on
the road be offered in evidence:
The writer was some time ago. a
passenger on an Iowa train, IN the
northern part Of the state. We were
! passing thru a country unparalleled for
| beauty. Soil and Improvements. Ele-
| giant farm houses and outbuildings.
! fine Shor.horn, Galloways and Durham
cattle passed our view. Farmers had
practically gathered the golden harvest.
Autumn was al its close and the har-
oinger Of an Iowa winter was making
! it's appearance.
| Incidently, young man fresh from
! the soil boarded the train a. some
wayside station. He took a seat along
/ side Of me. His outside appearance
i indicated prosperity. The travelling
| bag wae Of leather. the suit Of latest
design. and would have been the envy
| Of any knight of the grip. smooth
shape, a pretty stud in a somewhat
/ loud tie. and still this lad was not
acting the dude or like q fool. He
1 conversed intelligentiy on every sub
/ ject pertaining TO state or nation. Ex-
pressed his approval or disspproval or
matters political, social. moral or re-
religious. Told the writer all about
scientific cultivation Of Iowa soil could
boost Iowa better than any Of tbs
Greater Iowa committee.
