faeturers.

There does not appear to be very
great interest among the manufacture
ers of the state, in the Panama expo
sition at San Francisco. Very few
local manufacturers, for instance,
have SHOWN any interest and express
ed their intention to be represented
and to use space In the big buildings.
1t begins to look at the present time
as if Iowa would have space to burn.
so to speak. and Mr.. Woodwork Clum,
the secretary Of the new Greater Iowa
association, seems to be cup stump"
on this proposition. Mr. Clum has
established headquarters in Clinton
and is anxious to hear from prospec-
tive exhibitors. Some $4,000 square
feet OF floor space has been reserved
for the Iowans, and Of course Mr..
Clnm is anxious that the space be
used and good showing be made.
Tt is very necessary for those who
contemplate exhibiting at San Fran
cisco to get in touch with our COM
mission at once" writes Secretary
Clum '.The original contracts which
we secured last April expired July L..
Realizing that It would be impossible
for us to canvass the state for ex-
hbits by July first, we induced Com
missioner George e. Wilson, ST., to
proceed to San Francisco and to take
the matter up at once with the ex-
position authorities. looking to an sx-
tension of this time have q tele-
gram from Mr.. Wilson today, saying
thof of IL he hnC
extensions on all contracts until Aug
ust first.
In other words, we have Just about
four weeks in which to ascertain from
manufacturers and others just who
will exhibit in San Francisco. There
Is absolutely no charge for space but
the exhibitor must pay for the erec-
anxious to hear from those who
would like to exhibit their products |
Possibly we could arrange to combine
two or three small exhibits in one
larger exhibit and thus reduce the
relative expense to each Of the ex-
hibitors.
1T would be too bad II after all the
work the commission has done in Sc
curing this free space and having il
reserved, that Iowa would not take
advantage Of her opportunities. On
the swing around the circle made by
the special train two months ago,
President Marsh Of the commission,
closed his speeches with the express
sion, Gods most gracious gifts are
not in things but in opportunities
This is the opportunity we have tried
to place within the grasp of Iowa.
BY all means let us have representa-
tive exhibit.''
The space reserved includes 5000
feet in the machinery palace, 1000
feet in the transportation palace, 81
700 feet in the palace Of mines, 1000
feet in the liberal arts palace, $500
feet in the palace OF agriculture and
an unlimited space in the live stock
division.

for Farm Land at Time OF
Journey to Promised
Land.

Real estate is the only security that
cannot dissolve and the real estate
profession, which caters to mans de-
sire for land possession, Is one Of the
most venerable and honorable Of pro-
LESSONS. according to N. T. Mcmillan
in an article In the onlcial publication
Of the National Association Of Real
Estate exchanges. MIR. Macmillan
takes up the subject from an original
standpoint, quoting the Bible to prove
that real estate is the oldest OF pro-
fessions.
In the minds OF many, real estate
is a mode OF profession, but as a
matter OF cold hard facts 1t Is one OF
the earliest Of which we have reliable
record, and probably antedates all
other professions and businesses.
Back in the early days when this
world was a one-man Institution. We
find authority for this statement, the
article explains. The first event after
the creation was real estate trans
action, in which fine tract Of real
estate, "The Garden OF Eden" was
given to Adam and Eve without even
the customary one dollar constdera-
ton.

Desire for Possession.

The brief possession Of their landed
great love for the land and for the
freedom and independence which It
alone can insure. This tendency has
been passed on from generation to
generation, 50 that it has been and
still is the desire of most men to
possess a portion of Mother Earth
which they can proudly term, my
land and my lot" This tendency Is,
OF course, natural, as man Is by-pro-
duct of the SOLVE are supposed to
be made OF dust, which is dirt; some
having more of the ingredient In their
makeup than have others.
Following this soil tendency through
the ages, we see the gradual building
up Of the real estate profession itself.
To others than members OF our order
who are not familiar with their Bible
history, would cite the thirty-second
chapter Of jeremiah, to show that IN
those days land was bought and sold
and also town lots, and that the same
tendency prevailed, somewhat as
now, to load your relatives up with
real estate. Hanameel, Jeremiah's
first cousin, came to him and said,
"buy my field, buy 1t for myself" He.
you see, believed it was a sure money
maker and he did not wish jeremiah
to let anyone else in on 1.-THE stock
argument of the aggressive real estate
salesman.
Jeremiah says, "And / bought the
field Of Hanameel, my uncle's son,
and weighed him the money. even
seventeen shekels OF silver. and SUBJ
scribed the evidence and took the wit
nesses" In our terms, paid his
money and got his transfer" There
was none OF the ''think-it-over" strain
in Jeremiah's makeup He was a
quick trader, which usually means a
shrewd one. Then we are told he
took the agreement and put it in an
earthern vessel-that seemed to con-
stitute their land titles deposit vault;
but it was still savoring of real es-
tate. as 1t was an earthern vessel.
Quotes the Bible.

inherited a legacy from deceased
aunt Years before a professional thief
had found the two in want. and cared
for them and taught them his trade.
They are now trying to break away
from him and live respectfully. As
last venture of the old life, the brother
and his former pal undertake to rob a
house, but are seen by the owner, a
young widow. The brother pretends to
be at the place as a defender of the
property instead of thief, and during
his explanations, the other man gets
away. Here the detective. the, plain

is a love affair between the newly rich
man and the widow, and the detective
falls in love with the sister, who Is al

A minor love story is enacted by the

to Topeka people, for Mrs. farrell was
brought UP here, and has been sue

drama for a good while. Her ability in
handling dialogue in her stories has
been much commented on and this fact
first suggested to her the idea of writ

success of her first play with much in
