STORY ON CALIFORNIA
Because 1t Tells About Losing Money
Out West. -
All is not gold that glitters.

All is not gold that glitters.
A copy of the San Francisco Cali
fornia) Bulletin of the date OF April
90 carries story which very seldom
gets into eastern newspapers. Those
Californians are wonders in keeping
to themselves the news which they
do not want the result of the world to
know and at the same time letting
all the rest Of the world know the
other kind Of news.
Here is the story from the "Bulle.
tin" of April 90:
$40, 900 CITRUS LOSS
WEEKLY FROM DECAY
"Los Angeles, April 23.-Decay Of
oranges and lemons, due mostly to the
almost universal washing of fruit on
account of inroads Of scale the last
two years, is costing citrus growers
of California from $4,000 to 100000 a
week. according to statement by G.
Harold Powell, general manager OF
the California Citrus Exchange"

had crop failure in Iowa?

JUST A LITTLE tight

Real Advertising.

agreeably surprised at the Iowa Build
ing" said VIM +. Ray, banker OF Ali.
son, Iowa, today, who with Mrs. Ray is
taking in the exposition.
81 knew that some Of. the wide,
awake business men of the state had
passed the hat around and Clipped in
some $4,000 to build this building but
the Iowa Building shows UP very well
in comparison with some OF those that
cost twice as much.
at is really hard to understand just
what is the matter with the Iowa leg
islature. With business conditions not
good on either the east coast or the
west coast, and with Iowa enjoying
one OF the very best years of it's his
tory, there is still that ever.present de-
sire on the part OF the Iowa legisla-
ture not to spend money for real de-
velopment measures. Some day we
are going to outgrow that and when
we do we are going to begin to make
wonderful strides toward a greater
Iowa.
81 have been down>in southern Cali
tfOrnia for month and have been talk
ing with people who have visited the
exposition. When | asked them the
principal features to be seen they in
varably mentioned some Of the big
exhibit palaces and then told me to
be sure to see the Canada building.
Canada has spent half a million dol
lars in an exhibit that conclusively
answers the question, why have
Iowans left Iowa" What Iowa should
have done was to have made good
appropriation two years ago and en-
abled the commission to put up build
ing and equip it with exhibits of
Iowas resources and development so
that every visitor to the exposition
would have come away saying, BE
sure to see the Iowa Building and its
wonderful exhibits.

State Until Heard of Iowa.

San Francisco, Cali was born In

California, and up to within the last

preston that California was the great
est state in the Union. But l doff my
hat to Iowa since have learned that
her agricultural production is approxi-

This is the way VIM. II. Crocker.

cific International Exposition, began

members of the Iowa commission.
Mr.. Croker is the head of the IA

came through the Palace of Agricul
ture and noticed new booth, at least
one had not seen before. 1t was not
altogether completed and I did not
see the name of the state, but / did
see one sign in great big gold letters
than caused me to stop and think.
''The sign read, Iowa, the only bill
lion dollar state. Agricultural prod
0cts alone approximate $1,20O,O0O, OOO.'
"A billion dollars a year does not
signify very much to the average
mind. because not so very many peo-
pie are on intimate terms with bill
lion dollars. But when l sub-divided
1t into monthly earning of 100000
900 l began to appreciate the enor-
nifty of Iowa's agricultural production.
II compliment the state upon its
participation in this exposition and
upon its sending men out here who
for the first time, to my knowledge,
are telling the world some real facts
about state which for so many years
has been hiding its light under a
bushel basket. When it comes to pro-
viding the real necessities of life Cali
fornia yields to Iowa."

San Francisco, ECal.-"Yes, it is real
corn" said healthy looking farmer
who walked up to the Iowa booth in
the Agricultural Palace today. picked
up an ear of that bright yellow corn
and proceeded to shell half Of it and
put the kernels in his pocket.
This Smelling process is getting to
be serious problem with the Iowa
Commission and the Iowa exhibit.
While that great, tremendous pile OF
corn, which seems to have about 1000
bushels in it, only has maybe 400
bushels made over great framework
of wood, this constant Smelling by the
visitors is eating into the supply so
that those in charge of the exhibit
are afraid the corn will not last out
the season.
More than ten bushels of this corn
has been shelled by the admiring

ENVY IN CALIFORNIA
Flowers in Golden State" Are Pretty
-Yes-But Odorless.

San Francisco, Cal.-"When we
brought flowers from Iowa to be used
in the dedicatory exercises for the
Iowa Building at the exposition. we
opened the eyes of great many Cali.
fornians," was the parting comment
OF w. G. Haskell, of Cedar Rapids, one
OF the commissioners from Iowa, when
he left today for home.
"Why, those Californians didn't
know until they got the perfume from
those Iowa roses that flowers main
tanned their fragrance more than two
or three hours after being cut" con-
tinued Mr.. Haskell. THE flowers we
had were cut on Saturday and
shipped from Council Bluffs on Sun
day morning. They got here Wedpes,
day noon and all day Thursday the
air was heavy with their perfume. @
Il was down town at noon the day
of the dedicatory exercises and bought
a large bunch of violets from peddler
on a street corner. They looked like
violets and smelled like violets when
! bought them. ! brought them out to
the building and presented them to
the ladies who were in the receiving
line. But when ] got them out here
they still looked like violcts, but they
had no fragrance at all. | discovered
later that the flower peddlers down
town continually spray the violets
with some kind OF perfume. One good
breeze from the Pacific and the per
fume is gone.
Down at Palo Alto the other day |
saw a very beautiful magnolia tree in
full bloom. A gardener was fussing
around it and went over and tried to
find out what a California magnolia
smelled like.
""They are pretty to look at said
the gardener, but they haven't any
odOr.'
"And thereby we disprove the theory
that q rose Tan Iowa rose) in any
other place would smell as sweet"
