In this state In q few years, was the
statement Of Mr. Harlan. Iowa offers
fertile field for poems similar to
those of the favorite poet, and one who
took the time to investigate some OF
the opportunities would find it easy
to put into poetry some of the Incl
dents in the early history of the Hawk

could easily have been written in Iowa,
said Mr.. Harlan, and "Hiawatha, one
OF Longfellowts best known poems. was
really written from an inspiration
gained in this state. as at the time the
boundary lines Of Iowa and Minnesota
were not clearly defined. Mr.. Harlan
was scheduled to speak to the society
