on an average of three cents a word.
Both pay three dollars each for the

There is good money in syndicate
writing, if you have a line of stuh

national appeal. There are several
reliable syndicates. Two of the top
notchers are The George Matthew

Newspaper Syndicate, both of New
York. They make yearly contracts
with writer's, who must furnish Ger
tain amount of copy" each day. The
copy" is sent to the syndicate about
a month in advance, and is there pu

and sent to the publications over the
country who have agreed to pay 81

IOWA NOTED
FOR AUTHORS
There are Many Of Them and the DUAL.
ity of Work is of the Highest
Order-Statc Rivals
Indiana.

The reputation for literary output
which the state of Indiana has so long
enjoyed is apparently being rivalled
by that of the state Of Iowa. Every
three months the State Historical So
ciety publishes in the iowa Journal
of History and Politics. a list of re-
cent publications by Iowa authors, and
this list is increasingly long and nota-
BILE. A perusal of these pages leads
to some interesting conclusions. The
quality of Iowa writing is as notewor-
thy as the quantity. One is surprised
to find that many of the writer's whose
names are familiar to everyone in the
country, are Iowa men and women.
Hamlin Garland and Octave Thanet
are Iowans and have written of Iowa.
Emerson Hough and Randall Parrish
and Edwin L. Sabin came from Iowa.
Besides contributing novelists whose
books are listed among the six best
sellers, Iowa has developed historians
and scientific writers, has fostered
poets like Arthur Dawson Ficke and
Edwin Ford Piper, and added humor-
lists to the mixture Bob Burflette
reached fame through the columns of
the Burlington Hawk-Eye. and Ellis
Parker Butler was born and grew up
in the state of Iowa.

One institution here in Keos
kuk started a year ago to do
this. It now has boy groups all
over town. It conducts it's
work with every boy in town
entirely gratis to him, and
makes it interesting to the real
boy.
So interesting that its facili-
ties and plant have been
swamped in one year. 1t has
to spend thousands of dollars
to keep up this work another
year and into the future. This
is not a private business.
It is the business of every

the value of a boy and his
rights to have all the tun and
activity he can.

into charging it's facilities for
