believe by publishing a history of a
few of the good honest men and wo-
men with their cuts, also their homes,
we can disrel the present feeling or
doubt and stimulate present feeling
Of altruism for our race. We often
wonder why such false reports, such
caricatures, such ludicrous language
that some of those would be half edu-
Gated white reporters get and print.
Why the managers of those great dali
les will permit this trash to go in is a
wonder to us. Often they know it is
not true. We want the truth, the

Then we hope that this edition will in
duce good, honest colored citizens to

IOWA.

Iowa, the Beautiful Land, the
Home of the Brave and Free" 1t is
the brightest star in the union Of
states The marvellous daughter Of the
mighty west, which was the first state
in the union to wipe the black laws off
of her statute books.
Iowa is first in value of grains and
cereals.
Iowa is first in rank in the number
and value Of its hogs.
Iowa is second in rank in the num-
Der and value of its horses.
Iowa is first in rank in the number
and value Of its cattle.
Iowa is grandly in the lead of all the
states. Illinois is second, but with a
total valuation of s22,000,3S6 less than
Iowa.
Iowa has 3O,591 900 acres of farm
lands, only 16 per cent of which is I'M
improved. Illinois has the lowest per-
centage Of unimproved farms (15),
Iowa second (16), and Ohio third (2D.
In 1850 Iowa's true wealth per capita
was s123.39; in 1900 over 100000
(estimated).
Iowa is central in a blue grass reg
ion of over five times the area of Ken

The fertile farms Of Iowa, having
soil that never sickens, are able to feed
a vast number of factories. A back

Equal promise of perpetuity is in its
coal deposits. Less than per cent of
its known coal fields have been worked
over.

DES MONIES is A CITY OF GER.
TAINTIES.

A little more than fifty years ago,
Des Moines was nothing except wild
hills and prairies dotted here and
there with few trees, running rivers,
creeks and Indian huts. Not the sound
of an axe or anvil was heard; nothing
save the sharp shrill bark of the wolf
and the cooling of the prairie chicken;
the Indian hut gave away to the log
cabin and OK team. Now we have the
mansion and the automobile. Immedi
ately the building progressed without
booms, riots, conhagrations or excite
ments and were transformed into the
thriving, substantial, prosperous me-
tropolis of the richest agricultural
state of the American union, with her
paved streets, her towering office
blocks, her magnificent public build
ings, her beautiful parks, her many
large department stores, her palat!al
residences, her numerous churches,
colleges and university. One cannot
but feel sure that truly Des Moines is
the Hub of the Middle West. While
we do not belong to the boosters COM
mittee, yet we desire that the public
may know the plain truth. To pros
pective emigrant or visitor we would
invite you to visit our magnificent
state capitol, historical building, cost
ing $3OO,O0O,0O0. Our court house,
costing about 100000. Our free city
library costing 100000. The Y. Nj.
C. A. building; the Coliseum, seating
5000 people. Our fourteen colleges
and universities, our ga churches, our
IS hotels, our great military post, Fort
Des Moines. Our state fair exposl-
ton; our many parks. Then take
drive cut Grand avenue, University
avenue, and you will see city of
MAGNIFICENT homes. We have the larg-
est number of home owners Of any
city of its population in the world.
One of the largest seed stores west OF
Detroit, and the largest nurseries IN
the west In fact our location and ad-
vantages geographically cannot be ex-
celled; nearly midway from ocean to
ocean and nearly central from the
great lakes to the gulf; located in the
heart of the most happy, industrious
and contented people in the world.
Equal advantages granted to all races.
We invite you here to see the superior
advantages of this, our Greater Des
