l noticed by the papers that the
Government park commission met
recently at Des Moines for the pur-
| pose of preserving the natural seem
cry of our country in establishing
more parks. 1t was the delight of my
life to go picnicing at the Devils
Back Bone" in Delaware County, and
have a specimen of coral found
there in the sos. The place was much
wilder then than at the present time,
and tip overs were not uncommon.
1t is good to know that this Bone"
is to be preserved.
The conservation of our forests,
flowers, and birds is worthy of our
calling for energetic, concentrated
effort and attention. No one can think
upon the geological and biological
history of the earth, of Northeastern
Iowa, and man, without stirring the
deeper emotions of awe and reverence
within him. Surely the earth is the
Lords and they that dwell therein.

les in the heavens above and beneath
this little old earthly ball that wab-
bles around old Sol like babe around
it's mothers skirts. And I know pre-
cious little now about the develop
ment Of the continents and oceans
but have more than vague notion,
that Northeastern Iowa is loaned to
man for utility and enjoyment.
