"The bureau has the foolish habit
Of issuing, every years or so, an es-
innate Of the population of the vari-
GUS states Of the union, basing its es-
Inmates on the showing of the last
federal census.
TT happens that the federal census
Of 1910 showed that Iowa had lost a
little in population since 1900 So
the census bureau, estimating the
population of Iowa at present takes
it for granted that this loss has con-
tinued, and issues an estimate OF
Iowa's population as smaller than In
1910.
The fact is that the state of Iowa
took a census last year and found
population of 2,35s,062, against that
Of 2,224.771 of 1910. Here was clear
gain of 133 ,291. But the federal cen
sus bureau seems to prefer to recog-
nize nothing but it's own out-of-date
figures of five years ago: and will
probably continue to estimate Iowa
population on the basis of an annual

state Of iowa in the past five years
has been 1925. or this amount
about 10000 has been in the cities
and towns and 1900 in the rural dis
tricts, according to figures now at
hand. Iowa's agricultural output has
shown tremendous gains in recent
years. Not only has the grain output
of the state increased, but the num-
Der and value OF the live stock has
grown steadily. This big gain in agri-

OF THOSE WHO WALK ALONE.
Women there are on earth, most
sweet and high,
Who lose their own. and walk be-
reft and lonely,
Loving that ono lost heart until they
die,
Loving it only.
And so they never see beside them
grow
Children. whose coming is like
breath Of flowers;
Consoled by subtler loves the angels
know
Through childless hours.
Good deeds they do: they comfort
and they bless
In duties others put off till the
morrow:
Their look is balm, their touch Is ten

To all in sorrow.
Betimes the world smiles at them, as
'twere shame.

But in Gods Book they bear another
