Agricultural Exhibits at San Francis
co Fair Prove This Fact.

Evidently Iowans visiting at the
Panama Pacific international expo
sition are having lot of fun at the
expense of the other participating
states, at least as far as agriculture
is concerned.
A letter received by an Iowan from
w. l. Atkinson, Speaker of the
Iowa House of Representatives, in
dicates there is great competition at
the exposition for second place. Mr..
Atkinson is visiting the fair.
of course there is only one grand
prize in agriculture" says the
Speaker, land that has been given
to Iowa. The other agricultural
states, including Illinois, Ohio, Mis-
souri,. Wisconsin, Kansas and Indi-
lana have received some gold medals
land few medals of honor and some
silver and bronze medals. Indiana
has two or three more gold medals
| than Ohio, but Ohio has eight or ten
more silver medals than Indiana.
The same condition exists as be-
tween Illinois and Missouri and so
on all the way down the line.
lone state argues that the num-
Der of gold medals should determine
second place, another insists that
the medal of honor takes precedence
even If there were fewer gold mdals
and the other states insist that four
silver medals are more to be desired
than one gold medal. And so they
go, all fighting amongst themselves
as to who gets second place.
In the meantime the members of
the Iowa Commission are smiling
and sitting tightly on the grand prize
content that the boast of the other
agricultural states exhibiting at the
exposition is that they rank second
to Iowa"

Swat the Mud Road.

Good roads are coming in Iowa. II
is simply a matter of time, says the
Hardin County Citizen. Gravel is
good enough in nearly every in
stance. A we'll prepared, graded
drained and graveled road, with a
caretaker at $500 per year for every
ten miles of road (many states have
adopted this plan) would insure good
roads in Iowa the year around. And
it would be cheaper than the pres
ent system, too
