Iowa,s sooosters,

Alton Democrat: Iowa used 70 be
a prairie state, now II is one vast
park. The desire of lowans to pro-
vide shelter and to beauty their
homes prompted the planting OF
groves everywhere, which are now
isolated forests. They not only add
to the landscape, but afford shelter
for the innumerable birds which at
this time render the state a great
song garden. Early in May you may
hear all over Iowa the incompatible
song of the thrush, The musical ditty
of the wren and cheerful chirping Of
robins and meadow Jarks. No song
sters compare with these, whose
threats are unspoiled of the music
master and whose tones carry ma
lures sweetest melodies. The must
cal artists" would have you think
that the rendition of the great songs
is only possible in certain language
and the holy spectacle is presented
of an Irish tenor rolling out his high
"C's" in Italian, with brogue direct
from the old sod! But you do know
that the thrush Is singing straight
from the score nature has written In
the whisperings of the forest, In the
joyful abandon of the tempest's roar,
In the glory of the dawn II the
music schools would only permit 1t
we should get some really good and
unspoiled music from cur singers, but
so long as they persist in singing
jargon which is only make believe
music, just so long we shall prefer
to hear the birds.
