THE FORTUNATE ISLES.
You sail and you seek for the Fortu
nate Isles,
The OLD Greek Isles of the yellow
birds songs?
Then steer straight through the water
miles,
Straight on, straight On and you can't
go wrong.
Nay not to the left, nay not the right,
But on. straight on, and the isles are
in sight,
birds sing,
And life lies gift with golden ring.
These Fortunate Isles, they are not
so far,
They lie within reach Of the lowliest
door;
You can see them CLEAN by the twi-
light star,
You can hear them sing by the moons
white shore
Nay never look back! Those leveled
grave stones,
They were land steps; they were
steps unto thrones,
OF glory for souls that have sailed
before,
And have set white feet on the For
tunate Shore.
And what the names Of the Fortunate
Isles?
Why, Duty and Love and large
content.
Lo, these are the isles of the watery
miles,
That God let down from the nrma-
ment.
10! Duty and Love, and true mans
trust;
Your forehead to Coo though your
feet in the dust;
Io. Duty and Love, and a sweet
babes smiles,
And these, o friend, are the Forum
ate Isles.

MAKE SANCTUARY
FOR WILD DUCKS
Resort for Mallards on
Lake Cooper.

has reached the wild duck In his ma
tive haunts, this city promises to add
a few millions of ducks to its show
features. The idea is to make the
lake above the Keokuk dam specially
attractive to the ducks.
The water-power installed here In
the Mississippi river conserves many
million tons of coal every year; con-
ssrves the fruit crop along the shores
Of its lake; conserves navigation to
the extent of over sixty miles OF deep
water navigation and millions of dol
lars to the war department.; is con-
serving many square miles of low
land always overf1owed during high
water stages-and now the society at
tending to the conservation OF game
birds is planning to utilize 1t for the
special good OF the wild ducks.
Congress has already made 1t I'M
lawful to shoot ducks on the upper
Mississippi river at any time. Game
wardens enforce the law strictly.
Hunters who formerly dined on mall
lards now watch immense focks of
ducks ny over the water OF the Mis-
sissippi while the double baTrelsd
shot gun gathers dust in the attic.
Prominent members Of the society
which accomplished all this have
passed along the shores Of the Lake
above the Keokuk dam. It is lake
of hundred square miles area. The
duck conservationists quickly saw It's
wild ducks. For ons thing it would
save the ducks journey Of several
hundred miles to their present feed
ing grounds In Wisconsin and Mime
sofa.
The plan now under way is to SOW
wild rice and other duck food In all
the shallow waters along the shores
OF the lake in the Mississippi hers.
The lake shore generally shelves on
quickly into deep water, but there ara
several thousand scattered acres
available for duck pastures. Il the
United States, or the states Of Iowa
and Illinois, will SOW this acreage to
wild rice, it is believed that the lake
will be fairly alive with wild ducks
during the springs and summers.
Local hunters object to the plan.
They do not want to be tantalized by
a million wild ducks in sight from
bluff with the shot gun In the attic.
The United States government has
given a good deal of attention TO
utilizing the lake created above the
big Keokuk dam. Some millions OF
young bass have been placed there
under especially favorable conditions.
Recent onicial reports say Illinois Is
already the second state in the union
in the value of its fishing industry,
and it is believed that tbs lake ere
atea by the Keokuk dam Will greatly
increase it's output Of fsh. Iowa also
will benefit In this respect.
The lake which covers with many
,est OF water the formerly impass1Dle
Des Moines rapids In the MISSISSIPPI
has its surface kept nearly at con-
slant height, lessening food varla-
tons and making easy the constr uc-
Hon OF terminal docks for It's cities
which formerly was almost impos'
sfble
