Unless something unforeseen in

is way above the average Of what
was known In the days of the old

Lake Cooper being practically q

The lake did not freeze over until
considerably later, also.
1t is reported from the weather; Of

The depth of the ice further up the

Iowa County Decreases.

Iowa county did not make good
showing. 1t fell from 2,75G to 1864
in the last two years. Muscatine
county did not hold its own. 1t now
has 2,303 compared with 2,525 two
years ago. Clinton county almost
broke even. 1t has 1850. Two years
ago it had seventeen more men than
it now has. Monona county suffered
big slump, too. 1t dropped from d.
931 to 1924.
These figures do not indicate that
the population of counties has in
creased or decreased in the same pro-
portion as the number of fighting
men. The state department points
out, however, that 1t is the young
men who make progress and that the
best development may be expected
from the counties having the great
