Suddenly he tore the mask from him and tossed it to one side, closing his arm fiercely about her waist and drawing her soft cheek against his swarthy one. Together they stared into the ball, his eyes luminous with wild love, hers moist with mingled sympathy and fear. Gently she disen- tangled his fingers, surprised at the numbness of them, the ease with which they responded to her will.

 If women go into farming more they will be turning from callings that are overerowded, into one in which the whole world is crying for the product. It always pays to work in a, field where the demand exceeds the supply.

IN THE MATTER OF IOWA LAKES.

The Fort Dodge Messenger has
to, around and from Lake Okoboji.
calling Okoboji the playground of
Iowa and declaring that the state
should exercise more authority and
shoulder more of the responsibility" for
making Improvements and enforcing
regulations at the resort.
The appeal of the Messenger is too
narrowly localized. Why Okoboji and
not other lake resorts and lakes of the
state?
There is very definite sentiment
favoring the preservation of Iowa
lakes large and small and no doubt
this sentiment would extend to Ger
tain Improvements or at least state
aid for such Improvements as roads
and drives There is no sentiment how
ever that is likely TO devote state
funds to local improvements in one
spot or TO the advanta ge Of one resort
over another.
The suggestion should be extended
to cover all lakes and water resorts in
Iowa and discussed judicially and with
out The assistance of interference Of
realty owners here or there elmina ting
local and personal advantage to be
gained by special favor. Iowa has few
resorts of any kind where outings and
boating and fishing may be INDUCED.
The state should take over the shore
lines and control them leaving suffi-
cient space about each lake for the
public to camp upon. Under such
conditions there would be small dis
satisfaction with reasonable expendi-
ture of state funds in lake shore i'm
provement On the other hand if the
improvements We're especially bene-
fetal to private realty owners the dis
satisfaction would be widespread and
justified
The matter of the Iowa lakes has
just begun to interest the state and
its people. Not of one lake but of
all our lakes.

vice is still good. 1t has the backing
Of President Wilson.
This Is a melting pot of nations.
Let us remember that the German
American saved Missouri to the repub-
lie when civil war came to America
Let us recall that Meagher's Irish
brigade lay in windows of dead heroes
before the stone wall at Maryes Heights
for the integrity of this country as one
nation and the supremacy of it's consti-
tuition. English, French, German, Irish,
they were all ours then. Let them be
all ours now when they ask for even
handed justice and American neutral
ity, individual and national, each for
the men Of their blood.
No race or nationality worthy of in
corporation into that type of Ameri-
can which is to be created out of the
mingled virtues of all people forgets
its nativity readily. To be faithful to
ones own blood and proud of ones
own ancestors is an essential to true
citizenship
Don't take sides. Proclaim personal
neutrality. Be fair to all sides. Grant
to each of the nations it's sense Of
patriotism. For they are all of our own
house and of our own people.

WILSON'S PLEA FOR NEUTRALITY.

It is human nature to take sides. 1t
is the conclusion Of experience and
common sense to be neutral If possible
and act fairly between quarreling
neighbors and warning nations.
The president expresses we'll the
thought which has been expressed
many times by the thoughtful advisers
since the war broke out when he says:
I speak a solemn word of warning
to you against that deepest, moss
subtle, most essential breach of neu-
trality, which may spring out of par
tisanship, out Of passionately taking
sides. We must be impartial in thought
as we'll as in action, must put a curb
upon our sentiments as well as upon
every transaction that might be con-
strued as a preference of one party to
the struggle before another. My
thought is of America.
Today the mails are burdened with
explanation and protest from German
American citizens and associations
asking fair play for Germany in the
minds of the American people. caution
in conclusion, request Of Americans
not to take sides, plea for neutrality.
These excellent citizens Of this country
have felt 1t necessary to establish bu-
reaus Of publicity.

the Times-Republican, dealing with the
outbreak of hostiiities attempted to
advise individual neutrality. The adj

The head of the most widely spread

have risen from obscurity to eminence

a life story that will have a peculiar
appeal to Americans of all creeds.
Personally of a most kindly dispo-
sition and anxious TO influence by his
authority to peace and human good will
the war and his own helplessness TO
avoid or check it seems TO have ac-
centuated the weakness of long illness
and to have FASTENED his death. No
doubt he longed for the olden days
when the word of the papacy was po
Genital in councils of nations and the
will and authority Of the pope sufficient
TO check war declarations.

IOWA'S PLAYGROUND.

Those who have been at Okoboji re-
Gently have been greatly impressed
with the number of automobiles which
are there with their occupants from all
over Iowa and adjoining states. So
fast has the auto jumped into universal
use that the roads leading to and from
the lakes and around them are fairly
choked at times with the F'ords and
their bigger brothers and sisters.
On Sundays the sight of cars shut
Ting to and fro is one not soon forgot
ten by the witness.
There is no small amount of danger
connected with the gathering of so
many automobiles with drivers of
greater and lesser skill. 1t is desirable
that there should be good. wide roads
to minimize the chances of collisions.
The state of Iowa should exercise
more authority and shoulder more OF
the responsibility for the proper reg
ulation of traffic as well as in some
other things at this spot. II is the play
ground of Iowa: our summer land.
Okoboj: itself-that is, the settlements
about the lake-is made up of scat

interest such as is taken in most cities
by their population. The cottagers, as

and they occupy their summer homes
but a short time each year. They can
not be expected to supply the funds
that are needed to make proper roads

should be fine road all the way

patrolled by guards in the season who
will check too rapid speeding by cars.
