LAND MILK AND HONEY.
IOwa's Great Wealth Attracting At
tention New York Bankers.

We received a copy of the New
York Evening Post the other day
with the following article marked
It is an advertisement inserted by
the Hartman National Bank, of New
York City, and is certainly great
advertisement for the best state In
the union-Iowa.
1t is always worth recalling that
the origin of all wealth is in the
earth. and it is particularly worth
recalling at this time when the rep
resentation of wealth in the form OF
manufactured goods, buildings,
stocks and bonds is, owing to no
fault of our own, in a somewhat
troubled state.
The middle West, as it is some
times called, is today, as 1t has Of
ten been before, representative In
many respects of the real wealth and
greatness of the United States. Con-
slider Iowa, "The Hawkeye State,
typical of a substantial and prosper
Gus farming industry and manufac-
lures chiefly in connection therewlth.
Do YOU know that Iowa leads all the
states of the Union in value OF farm
products, live stock farms, percen'
tage of farming land improved. hors-
es. cattle, hogs, poultry, eggs, farm
implements, production of corn, oats
and grass seed, in number of auto
mobiles per capita, and takes second
place only in per capita wealth!
The estimated wealth OF Iowa pei
capita is $3,345 or nearly double tn'
per capita wealth of the United States
as a whole. This may fairly b'
considered remarkable showms
when you take into consideration
that Iowa is fifteenth of all the states
in population, and twenty-third IL
area.
The Hartman National Bank be
lieves that these facts are particular
ly worthy of the attention or th'
brick-bound business men or thi
sea-board community. They ma,
suggest something of value, not oni
in business matters, but also as u
who and what the modern tiller o
the soil is, and his real place amon
the foremost citizens of the land.

LANGUAGES IN HIGH SCHOOLS.
Will So-CaIled Dead Languages Drop
Out Of Our Schools and
Colleges?

VIII the so-called dead languages
drop out of our high schools and
colleges? Certainly the records Of
work on which the diplomas are be-
ing awarded, give a little less space
every year to these subjects. Latin
still has large place, but Greek
has almost dropped out of sight.
AS a practical business proposition
it does not seem much use for the
ordinary boy to study Greek today.
French and German help him to
keep closer in touch with the current
of modern life. A business man
finds no Greek in his newspaper, he
is never called on to write a letter
in either that language or Latin,
At the same time, when student
drops the classics, there are certain
losses that are not made good. II
he studies the old languages, particu-
larly Greek, he follows the thought
of certain great philosophers which
must enlarge his conception of life.
The classic world emphasized ideas
that are badly needed today. The
old philosophers dwelt upon the obli-
cation of the citizen to the state,
obedience to law, the necessity of q
temperate, well rounded balance oil
all the elements necessary to sue
cessful life. 1t was healthy mind
ed philosophy. The students thought
is filled with noble images of hero
ism. self sacrifice, and civic spirit.
The student of the modern langu'
ages spends his time very largely on
trivial plays, novels, and conversa'
ton exercises, whose philosophy is
not elevating or ennobling. He is
closer to the current of daily life
but has received no inspiration Of
spirit.
It is of course useless to turn back
the educational tide. The business
man must study the aspects OF lit
that bring him the closest to tht
modern world. But American lii
needs men of thought as we'll as mel
of action. Those who aspire to D.
writer's, preachers. teachers, can no
afford to neglect the noble ideals O
the wonderful old classics.

Farmers Own Half Automobiles.

1t is said that nearly half of the
automobiles in the United States are
owned by farmers and more than
half in farming communities. lime
was when the purchase of motor
car by a farmer was looked upon as
a bit of extravaganza, and even the
banks were pooled to refuse loans 10
men who wanted to make the wheels
eo round But the automobile has
proved its own worth. The fact Is
that a medium priced car can be
purchased and maintained with as
little cost as a driving team and IL
will cover ten times the ground that
a team will cover on pleasure or
business.

ARE AMERICANS FOOLS?

Lafayette Young being the only Iowa
editor who has been to the war VIII
have to serve as our authority for
many things. We have already had
frequent use for his observations and
opinions, but we have found one
more suggestion to which we want
to call attention, since many Of us
have been thinking along such lines.
The American people seem to think
that it is their work to bind up all
the injuries that others inflict on
each other-and often their work
is sorely unappreciated, since it is
offered so freely. Mr.. Young on this
matter writes as follows:
l have been slow to come to the
conclusion, and ! dislike to announce
a doctrine which will sound unsym-
pathetic; but | want to inquire what
right we have to follow all the armies
! of the world and with our women
and surgeons and our money, do all
! the dsagreeable things that are to
/
! insults as we'll / am not prepared
to say that l would stop such work,
! but the general treatment bestowed
upon Americans who are trying to
do good in Europe causes many OF
them to stop and inquire.
In some countries in Europe where
American money is poured out the
sight of an American is as full or
curiosity as the appearance or a
dancing bear in a crowed street. we
have had so much to do with the
war business in Europe that all those
countries feel in a measure that we
are partly to blame. In this respect
I am not referring to Germany alone
We infer that those whom our
women and surgeons are serving
do not always appreciate the servi-
oes they render. We infer also that
Americans may be regarded in some
of the European countries as the fools
of the world. We are afraid that VIC
have within us many of the foliies
that entitle us to be so regarded. We
serve many who laugh at us and
some who despise us as mere money
makers, so much money that we %
not know what to do with it. IL
Belgium, for instance, we have spent
: enough money to support an army
relieving the invading Germans o.
the duty to maintain the people the!
| had rendered helpless to take car
: of themselves.
, We have assumed the role of re
l lieving every sufferer in the world
r no matter where or when it may be
: we are the prodigal knight errants o
: the world. We seem to like to az
that sort of work and we pride. our
a selves on our philanthropy-but w
!, hope others appreciate it as nue.
a as we boast of it here at home. MI
8 Young intimates that the others d
: not uniformly place that high an es
L innate on our services. 1t makes u
i wonder.
