waxed fat in Iowa, to go to California
to assist in improving and developing
that state What makes the wild cat
wilder, is to have the citizens of Cali
fornia crow over the great improve
ments in that state and fail to give
Iowa capital credit for making much
of it's improvements possible. In
way we are to blame for it, because
we are too backward about speaking
out in meeting. and telling the world
Of our great natural advantages and
singing it's praises in season and out
