Iowa Too Modest

I'VE have been too modest-too
content to accept the prosperity which
a wonderful soil and a pretty good
climate have brought us. We now in
ten to put some energy and ingenuity
into a campaign that will increase op-
%portunities for our farmers, Jul i've
stock breeders, and our manufacture
ers. When we have done this we have
automatically increased the business
of our merchants and presented to
the sons and daughters Of Iowa op-
portunities for profitable employment
within the state.
so we want the people of Iowa to
know that the exposition is merely
one of the duties we have assumed.
While we are preparing for that we
are going ahead with all the other
branches of the work. 1t takes some
time to lay the plans for a campaign
OF this kind-but We are making frog

During the two-year period there
were charters given to 81 savings

the banking institutions organized
under state laws gave up charters,
some by merger and others by becoul-
ing national banks. The net gain In
the two years was therefore 9s.
