TCedar Rapids Republican,

rCedar Rapids Republican,
A fine black crowned night heron
was brought to Cedar Rapids Mon
day by Earl Lehr Of Stanwood, Iowa
The bird was in the splendid early
spring plumage with two silvery
aigrets growing from the back of its
head. These are grown by the birds
every spring during the mating sea-
son and are dropped later in the
year.
The bird was taken to the Cedar
Rapids Tanning company, where it
will be mounted. These herons are
rare in this part Of the state, altho {
colony OF them nest every year in
the woods near Lake Okoboji, in the
northwestern part Of the state.

IS LABOR SHORT?

AS for the shortage of labor. are
we quite sure that this shortage is
real? Suppose everybody should sud

to work the way Americans used to

nobody, In factory or mine or office,

make up for the lack Of millions of

Suppose in the early stages II

while Hoover gains, what would the
Iowa delegation do; and especially in
case a situation developed that
Iowa's twenty-six votes would start

Of Iowa. The presidency never came
west OF the Mississippi river. Under
such circumstances the pressure to
get into the Hoover vehicle and push
him across would be pretty strong.

Iowa: A recent editorial OF yours
set me remembering when and how
I lived. as a child, In Marshall county.
And I submit the following with due
apologies to Thomas Hood and his
memories:

A garden where potatoes grew
And thrived, row after row.
And with them there were squashes,
Beans, cabbages, and beets,
Cucumbers, pumpkins, onions,
And lots Of other eats"

That helped to fill our cellar:

The barn, where dwelt our COW,
The pen of pigs to furnish meat

for this district. The production Of
wine in the district during the
season 1919 was 2.114,ss0 hectoliters.
There was no increase in tho area

crease in wages OF laborers and the
uncertainty regarding prices which
would be received for wine.

IOWA OPINION AND NOTES.

"One reason there are SO many
Iowa people ready to run for ONCE
on the democratic ticket is that they
do not have to give up their paying
positions to get their name on the
ticket" explains the Story City Her
aid. Mr.. Herring and Mr.. Rude VIII
both be devoting all Of their time TO
the distribution of Fords after the
election"
The Monticello Express says, THAT
childish poll Of the state on guoer-
material preferences to which syn
dictate Of state papers started peter
ed out as anyone might have expect
ed. Some wag stuffed the ballot box,
and 1t was all over"
TT stands to reason that there
must be a touch Of hard times before
we ali come to our Senses" asserts
the Des Moines Capital.
SOLDIERS as q rule. we believe, are
not asking for a bonus. but this does
not relieve the country Of the duty OF
rewarding them in some substantial
way. It should come spontaneously
and without bubble. and If the coun
try is confronted with deficit, con-
gress should practice economy in the
places where there is admitted ex-
travagancc and waste" says the
Boone News Republican. mo money
would pay for the sacrifices made
by the soldiers and take the place OF
the badge Of honor which they have
already earned, but they should be
rewarded and reimbursed by an ap-
preciatiye country. which was restor-
ed TO psace and prosperity by theil
unselfish service"
! "Just what you would look for: the
Homestead that supports the Non
partisans Of North Dakota, is for the
election Of Brookhart over A. g.

ments Of progressive citizenship to
