Il was not born in Iowa." writes G.
r. Wrage, of Gladbrook, but l know
a good thing when I see it,"
Then Mr.. Wrage goes on to express
himself like this:
| Advertise Iowa? What for? To
whom? Why our reputation has been
Established. Ever since Marquette set
his foot on this virgin soil has the
world been told and retold of this
wonderful state. It's natural resources
] are not deep in the ground thank the
Lord. We do not have to send out
special "windjammers'' to tell the I'M
sophisticated what our soil contains
1,SOO feet down. We do not need any
blowers to tell the agriculturists that
Iowa's soil is superb over anything yet
discovered. We have all that is needed
and it is in sight.
If Iowa people just would stick to
Iowa and its possibilities they would
he blessed for all time to come in
their efforts. Jump in to the fivver
and take spin on any Of our Won
derful highways. Behold the prom
Used land! The pictures filled with
the best grazing cattle getting ready
for market and hogs by the thousands
trying to consume last years immense
corn crop. but unable to do so and no
wonder we call them grunts. And corn?
Wherever you go and wherever you
look.
Why that is why Iowa needs no adj
vertisements. 1t requires no human
effort. Corn does it and does it on
such large scale that the specialist
advertising managers could not draw
any salary in Iowa for such pur-
pose. The writer was stranded" some
years ago and came to little town in
Colorado trying to cash his check, and
the country banker looked him over
and asked "Are you from Iowa?' Yes"
Corn fed - Yes" you can have the
money" Why, bless you dear reader,
our reputation is established.
1t is true. we have no oil except
that which we buy of the large round
wagons and if Iowa people would take
cur advice whenever they want oil, to
buy of those large round wagons. we
would not have had financial string
ency. We need no biologists to ascer-
tain. our wealth, no chemists to tell
us what per cent is good and what is
impure. 1t lis there IN sight of every

which she was popular and enthusias

She was ambitious to have an edu.

was worth while and therefore after
her graduation from high school, she

course and she returned home to recu-

We sometimes wonder why life

~ this same question. Realizing that
her days were numbered, she had said
several times during the last year. ever
before going to California, that she
was ready to go and prepared to die
She had no fear of death of the bod!
and expressed a faith that had beer
planted in her young life through the
influence and teachings of the late Mrs

teacher. Even after the dread spinal
meningitis set in, on Friday before hel
passing away, she told her mother, who
was at her bedside constantly, that she
was glad to 60.
ooh, not in the churchyard do we lay
our dead,
There only the body whence the soul

Why think we so much of the buryine

The Old Hymns.

There's lots Of music in 'em-the hymns
Of long ago,
And when some gray haired brother
sings the ones used to know
days gone by
"On JOrdan's stormy banks ] stand and
cast a wistful eye!'
There's lots of music in 'em-thOse dear
sweet hymns of old,
With visions bright of lands of light and
shining streets of gold;
And l hear 'em MISUNDERSTANDING where
Memory dreaming stands,
From Greenland's icy mountains to
midas coral strands"
They seem to sing forever of holier,
sweeter days,
When the lilies of the love of God
bloOmed white in all the ways;
And want to hear their music from the
old time meetin's rise
Till II can read my title clear to man
sions in the skies
We never needed singin books in them
old days-we knew
The words, the tunes of every one--the
dear old hymn book through.
We didn't have no trumpets then, no
organs built for show.
We only sang to praise the Lord from
whom all blessings flow"
An so l love the good old hymns and
when my time shall come
Before the light has left me, and my
singing lips are dumb
If l can hear 'em sing them then, I'll
pass without sigh
To "Canaan's fair and happy land,
where my possessions lie.''

LEG BANDS TO KEEP TAB
ON WILD DUCK TRAVELS

Z 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 \ 4 4
When wild duck decides to move
from his summer home in Canadian
wilds he neglects to leave forwarding
address to indicate where his winter
quarters are to be established. The bu-
reau of biological survey, United
States department of agriculture, is
working on method to Offset the ducks
!carlessness. This consists of system
Of trapping the birds and marking them
with aluminium leg bands that carry
number and the legend "Biol. Surv..
WASH, ID. c." When banded duck is
killed, the hunter removes the band and
returns it to the biological survey with
information showing when and where
the bird was recovered.
During the past autumn Canadian
collaboration Of the survey, III. S. Osler,
operated duck trap at Lake Scugos,
Ontario, where he captured and banded
over 200 black ducks and mallards,
with a few ring necked ducks and blue
winged teals. Some of these We're killed
near the place where they were banded,
hut others were from such localities as
to indicate approximately the route
taken by these birds in their journey
to the southland. In all, about %
Ct Mr.. Osler's ducks have been killed
and the bands returned from points in
Ohio, Indiana, Kentucky Tennessee,
Arkansas, Mississippi, Louisiana. and
Texas. One of the blue winged teals
was killed near Port of Spain, Trinidad,
British West Indies. more than $500
miles from Lake Scugog, where the band
was attached.
The systematic banding Of birds, as
undertaken by the biological survey,
will furnish cOnservations with much
valuable information.

Jewell Notes.

Jewell, July 16.-A Sunday school in
stitute will be held in Jewell Thursday
July 81. Two sessions will be held
afternoon and evening.
Rev. G. A. Mckinley, Congregational
pastor, has been elected scoutmaster OF
the Jewell Boy Scouts, and he an.
nOunces that Scout meetings will be
held regularly every Thursday evening
at the scout house.
Oilstock statesmen, land agents and
the like, it would seem, have taken an
enforced layoff. These birds are scarce.
" seen any more and when you do run
across one, he is about as laxative or
communicative as a jackass. They have
undoubtedly concluded, and rightfully
so, that the present at least is no time
to play their graft. Just now there
seem to be no more worlds to conquer,
no more suckers to skin. Ho, hum!
If you are doubter and don't be-
lieve that Jewell has about the best
band in central Iowa, just come to Jew
ell next Wednesday evening and look
and listen. Our band is a solid organi-
zation, built up from the ground, and
IL you don't find that the music It, dis
penses is at par with any music OF the
same strain that has been waited on
waves of air, you can call this para
grapher confirmed prevaricator. But
come early before the big crowd ar
rives, SO you'll be able to find place
to park your hat.

ney, Buffalo county, Nebraska, at 80

every reason to believe that Doc was

 To begin with. Larry takes the re- nection of his sweetheart in big mirror for the real girl. and. rushing at it. he strikes the glass. Then, when the little lizard hidden unoe- known to him in the bouquet be brought. crawls down the back of the girls mother. there is a tremendous ly striking scene in which Larry is the thing struck.

When the immortal swimming hole, around which James Whitcomb Riley wOve his famous poem, had been per fected by Charles gay for the pie turizaticn of the Riley classic, the youthful star insisted on being the first to take dive into its cool depths.
 Charlie made the dive from a fine old sycamore tree which overhangs the pool. As he emerged from. the placid waters, the mOny boys who were assisting him in the filming of the swimming hole sequence called out-"What is it like?"
 Gee. it's cOld-but it's good WhereupCn a dozen of the huskier youths piled in and soon forgot the chilliness of the water in the fun they were having. When Charlie made for the bank. he remarked that ii surely reminded him of the days gone by and that he would be sorry when the filming of the Riley poem was over

heart-to-heart talk between the Brit ish and Irish leaders at tn capital of the empire. augurs we'll for what he will be able to accomplish in the future.
 It is extremely doubtful whetneel the Irish leaders would have agreed to go to London without guarantees from Shuts that the British govern ment was prepared to discuss a set clement upon basis far more lib eral in it's terms than any it has ever proposed to the Irish direct
 There is strong evidence that the liberality of these tentative terms is due largely to the pressure put upon the British government by Shuts and other dominion prerhiers who have been attending the inlperial con fereneeu in, London during the past few Weeks.
 Assiiihing the correctness of this in- depreciation of the situation, the fi- nal settlement, if there is one, may be expected to give to Ireland the same position in the empire held by Australia, Canada and the other do- minions.
 Two things are clear. First, the British government will not consent to the withdrawal of Ireland from the empire and the creation of an Irish republic. Second, the Irish leaders have finally become convinc- ed of this and also of their inability to accomplish their complete inde- pendence by force.
 If, as seems likely. Shuts has con- vinced the Irish leaders that the po- sition of Ireland as a self governing dominion will carry with it certain advantages that would not attach to Ireland as an independent republic, and that in any event an Irish repub- lie is not within the possibilities. the greatest obstacles to solution of the Irish problem have been removed.

It is a catchy title fora picture sounds like it should be a typically Mary Pickord picture-and it is, from all reports received. It is not a pie ture full of hairbreath escapes 0, tense, dramatic moments, but a good, wholesome, well-balanced and highly interesting feature, one that will go well whether it is warm outside or whether it is raining.
 Pictures that movie levers enjoy seeing in summer are scarce. But in "The Love Light" Mary Pickford ap- pears in a role that shows her lov- able self at her very best, and it is an "easy" film to watch. Winsome Mary has never appeared in a film that Jagged, for that matter, but "The Love Light" is just a little bit more enjoyable and comfortable to watch than even some of Marys other pie lures.
