Iowa's Wealth Is Staggering.

In the July American Magazine
Herbert Quick says:
Iowa 5 wealth is staggering. Her
farms are worth more than all those
of Maine, New Hampshire, Vermont
Massac husetts, Rhode Island, Connec-
ticut, New Jersey, Delaware, Mary
land, West Virginia, South Carolina,
Florida, Alabama, Arizona, Utah, Ne
vada, New Mexico, Montana and Wy
oming combined Her farm buildings
are of more value than all those of
New Hampshire, Vermont, Rhode Is
land, Delaware, Florida, Louisiana,
Montana, Idaho, Wyoming, Arkansas
New Mexico, Utah, Nevada, Washing
ton, Oregon, and West Virginia CON-
hinCd. The live stock is worth more
than all that of Maine, New Hamp-
shire. Vermont, Massachusetts, Rhode
Island Connecticut, New Jersey, Della
ware, Maryland, Florida, Arizona,
Utah, Nevada, West Virginia, Louisi-
ana and New Mexico combined.
She is fifteenth in population
among the states and twenty-third IN
area; but she ranks first in total
value Of farm products, in value of
live stock. in value of farm property
per farm, in percentage of farm prop
erty improved in percentage of total
area in farms. in number of auto-
mobiles per thousand of population
in the value Of her horses, in the
value of her cattle, III the value OF
her swine, in poultry, in egg produc
ton, in farm implements, IN tonnage
of forage crops-in spite of the aifal
! fa of Kaosa, apI the WeSt-in corn
production. Her wheat crop is OF
greater value than that of all Canada
or the Argentine. Her corn croI
is worth more in money than all the
iron ore or anthracite coal, or copper
or silver of all the United States
| The cattle she markets every year are
worth more than the whole tobacco

times quite effective. The second way,

Cotton for Kid.

Copyright, 1916, by the Mcclure News
paper Syndicate.)
Do you remember that once the
term kid glove" stood for a certain
indication of elegance and richness?
1t was probably long before your time,
but that significance of the kid glove
is one that is sometimes met with in
books of fifty years ago. A man who
wore kid gloves in those days was re-
garded. especially in rural sections, as
something of n dude, at least person
of fastidious tastes. Except in sum-
mer. when silk gloves were worn as a
matter of comfort no carefully
dressed woman would wear any kind
of gloves but kid gloves. Cotton gloves
were to be had, but they were coarse
and cheap. One almost would have
preferred to wear no gloves at all to
cotton gloves.
| Then came fabric gloves, which won
popularity and favor in Paris long be-
fore they were accepted on this side
of the Atlantic. And every year they
have been spreading in popularity till
now they are perfectly well accepted
substitute for the usual sort of kid or
chamois or doeskin gloves. Now that
the price of kid and skins of all sorts
is advancing and seems likely to ad-
vance even higher, we may have rea-
Sous to wear more of these fabric
gloves than ever before, for they are
extremely desirable as to fit, they are
fast of color and they wash with some
what better results than do most of
the wash kid gloves.
This winter fabric gloves are es-
pecially attractive. They are present.
ed in many of the shops in a very good
quality-so that they may cost, if you
choose, as much as $1.30 pair. They
are made in grays and tans and
though they do not pretend to initiate
chamois gloves they are made of such
closely woven fabric as not to suggest
the old time cotton glove in the least.
| Especially for women whose hands
perspire these gloves are a good in
vestment If you carry a muff in the
winter you have perhaps found that
your hands become overheated when
you wear the usual air-proof kid
gloves, and you also notice no doubt
that unwashable kid gloves become
soiled very soon when worn with a
muff.
The only real disadvantage in wear,
ing the fabric glove is that it is In
clined to wear out at the finger end
rather quicker than the glove of kid or
skin, though Of course it never breaks
at the seam as is sometimes the case
with the other sort of glove. If the
gloves are washed so frequently that
they do not remain soiled for any
| length of time you will notice that
they wear much better, and of course
much can be done by way of increas-
ing the life of any glove by persistent
ly making up your mind not to rub
your finger tips more than need be.
