MANY IMPROVEMENT AT IOWA
STATE FAIR GROUNDS.

Those Of Iowa's citizens who by an
nual pilgrimages to the State Fair and
Exposition have kept tab on the
changes and improvements from year
to year will find that the march OF
progress has not been interfered with,
nor has It been idling by the wayside
since the fair OF 1914. The first thing
that will meet the critical eye OF the
visitor who enters the grounds by way
of the Rock Island gates is the new
sheep pavilion, erected the present
summer It stands inside the gates,
directly across Rock Island avenue
from the swine pavilion and south OF
the big horse barn. 1t is Of the same

What to do with tainted money is
40 puzzle to Mrs. Mary Fels. She uses
It to combat the source of the faint.
Nearly $4,000 realized in recent
land deal will be spent in an effort to
make land speculation improbable.
The land in question was eleven
and a half acres at Sixtieth and
Kingsessing streets in West Philadel-
phia. The late Joseph Fels, soap
manufacturer and single taxer,
bought it for $4,000. 1t sold, with
out further Improvement for $780,
600. A house that stood on the prop
erty was used, during his ownership,
as a working girls home. Part of the
profits have gone toward a new
home. The bulk of the money will
be spent in educating toward an in
crease tax on site values.
Fels entered into the transaction

Korea, Subject Of Lecture.
The lecture for the evening was by
Homer B. Hubert, A. NJ, F. r. c. S.,
a man who was for twenty years in
the employ OF the Korean government
and a personal advisor of the en-
peror Of Korea up to the time when
he was forced to abdicate in 1907.
Mr.. Hubert was bitter in his denun-
citation of the Japanese and contrast
ed them with the Chinese, much to
the disparagement of the former. In
passing he criticised Theodore Roose-
welt and Elihu Root, who were presi-
dent and secretary of state at the
time the administration of the u. S.
removed the American legation from
Seoul. Mr. Hubert came to the Unit
ed States as the personal ambassador
| from the emperor of Korea, with a
personal letter written by the emper-
| or himself to President Roosevelt. He
said he was kept waiting on the white
house steps for three days. until the
officers Of state should receive a mes.
| sage from Japan, In which interval OF
time Japan had forced the Korean
emperor to abdicate. The nation in
tervened to stop the atrocities which
he says japan meted out to tho
Koreans. Mr. Hubert was charged
by the Japanese as being party to
the assassination of Prince Ito, and
because they suspected his guilt he
was cordially hated by the Japanese
and was forced to leave Korea and
the eastern territory.
Bound Up with East.
He says the economic destiny OF
the United States IS bound UP with
the far east and that China Is the
best market today which the United
States has for her products. He gave
graphic picture of Commodore
Perry's opening OF Japan to the world
and said that the Japanese took tip
from the United States and sailed
across to Korea and asked them to
make a treaty, using the same tone
Of voice which Comm odore Perry had
used on them. But the Koreans said
Never" and the Japanese then re-
sorted to every measure known to a
crafty Japanese to force them to come
under their power.
In extenuation or explanation of his
prejudice, as he calls it, against Japan
and in favor Of other eastern countries
he said: There are just two kinds
of men who do not take sides on
question: man who is omnicient
and man who knows nothing. Now
am not omnicient. but I do>know
something about this eastern question.
T lived in Korea twenty years from
the inside and / do know something
of the situation and this knowledge
is what I am giving you in these lee

against "unearned increment" Why
not make increment finance its own
destruction Also he used the tract
in question as platform illustration
of what he was opposing.

to say. II did not do one stroke Of
work to improve it. The growth and
