599.4H2. as compared with $169,S4l,-

consideration that this total includes
only donations of public character
which have been made public. If we
could add all that is privately given
and never appears in print il is safe
70 say that this total would at least
be doubled. OF the total amount,

DEAR OLD IOWA.

OGNh OLO IOWH'
Ga Iowa! Dear Iowa!
Fairest sister of the fold,
My heart goes out to thee today
From this treasure land of gold.
/ see again thy placid streams,
That flow outward to the sea,
catch the scent of clover bloom
And l long to be with thee.
Since first l saw thy lovely face,
All aglow in virgin bloom
Full fifty years have passed away,
Yet, dear heart, l call thee home.
What mighty changes years have
wrought
Growth in beauty, strength, and
pride,
Thou art more lovely now than
then"
Sings true lover to his bride.
Gone are thy early cabin homes,
Hands that built them are no more,
Yet the stranger still can find
The latch string on tae outer door.
hear again thy plowman's voice
And thy song birds mellow tune,
! see thy herds OF hogs and kline,
And tiny fields OF corn in June.
l count thy wealth of harvest yield,
Richer far than mines of gold,
love thy people, rich and poor,
With a love that ne'er grows cold.
Oh Iowa! Dear Iowa!
Just as thou art, no other plea,
Even thy storms and winters chill
Bind my human heart to Thea.
