insure the calf you must tie him reasonably

beast. The Gate City is wondering II 1t is not
really coming that way very fast with the pro-
fiteers. They surely have had g. loose run
They gouged Uncle Sam during the war; but
the people were not over-eXclted about these
war profiteers. They very wisely calculated
that if the government spent too much time IN
determining the relative percentage OF wool and

And so that has all gone by in the public
thought But the postwar FRANKS OF prohteers
are a very different thing. They are playing
perdition with the public peace Of mind; they
are setting up screens IN every community IN
which the films Of industrial and social falacles
are displacing from the eyes Of the people every
thing which experience has proven to be good
and true and Of good repute The hopeful fea-
ture of the present situation is that they have
over-reached themselves They have appar-

COLES HISTORY or IOWA

Ottumwa Courier: Cyrenus
Cedar Rapids Republican, is tell
ing New Workers about Iowa: He
is in an admirable ambassador,
and when we consider the. ex-
tent to which New York knows
nothing about Iowa it seems an
ambassador is needed down
there. Although Iowa has been
state since 1910, big proper
ton of the nations citizenship
doesn't even know how to pro-
nounce the name of the common
wealth. Easterns call it 1-o-a,"
accenting the co." and western
ers or southerners say "I-o-way,"
stressing the final syllable.
These little things don't worry
Mr.. Cole, however, as much as
the casts tendency, as he sees
it, to think of Iowa as ''savoring
of the odor of the barnyard,"
and to associate the state always
with the "clink of the cash
register.
Mr.. Cole blames the Iowa
speakers and writer's who are
accustomed to boasting too loud
ly OF the states corn and hogs,
and he is publishing history OF
Iowa which he hopes will con-
vince it's readers that Iowa has
aesthetic tastes and is gratifying
them. He demands that the
state be judged by spiritual
achievements and not alone by
material ones. He says we have,
Jared badly in fiction. Says Mr..
Cole in a recent interview In
The New York Times:
For US no skies look down on
the mountains, and no mountains
look down on the sea, but all over
Iowa the sun is mingled with the
soil in faithful production, and
the heavens are of one pattern,
one texture and one love, with the
fields of emerald and gold. Iowa
the land where men look up and
God looks down.
'In writing the history of Iowa,
l may say that l have not been
unmindful of some present patri-
otto needs. A state history har-
monized with that states part IN
national history is, perhaps, the
readiest gateway to these new
endeapors. And SO l have tried
to write history that / hope may
interest the young as well as
those who are older.
"The need of such work was
made manifest to me recently. A
niece one day ushered in burst

'.And yet the lessons of human
courage and wisdom, of national
greatness and grandeur and on
life and duty to ones csountfy
could have been taught IN part,
at least, from the history OF Iowa
as we'll as from the story OF the
babes who were sucked by
wolf on the banks of the Tiber OF
from those who made many need
less wars in the puissant name OF
Rome. But those four girls were
not to blame. We are to blame.
We have been too silent, and per-
haps, too modest. We have not
enough expressed ourselves in
seng and story and history to
acquaint the children OF Iowa
with their own heritance from
the past.
I'm the form of written history,
Iowa, / realize, is somewhat han
dicapped by the fact that the state
has been universally sane and
uniformly prosperous. If not
happy. The man who lives bliss
fully with his own wife and rears
decently his own children seldom
fills newspaper space. But that
the state is lacking in materials
susceptible to historical treat
ment is not true"
Mr.. Coles history of Iowa will
do a service for which the state
should be grateful He is right
in his assertion that Iowans
themselves should know more
about their state. He has hit
upon a fundamental truth in edu-
cation: Americans should know
more of their country. Our do
nestle history in its relation to
patriotic training has been sadly
neglected in most of our schools.
Massachusetts affords a notable
exception. There every school
boy and girl must learn the facts
about the events of revolutionary
days which are so important a
part of the history of the nation
as well as that of Massachusetts.
Connecticut also has a state in
structor in patriotism. The plan
is a worthy one.

at it's best, so noble a thing, except

the utmost advance in artistic sug-

Alas, however, very few of them do
this. The vast majority are content
