either on top or no lower than
third place in farm income by
states. Its 1947 farm income was
nearly 2*4 billion dollars.
Iowa was settled by hardwork-
ing, rugged stock who thought
farming was a privilege and fer-
tile soil a heritage. They settled
for keeps. In time a progressive
agriculture college was establish-
ed to train farmers and develop
research, and a high percentage
of farm boys goes to this college,
then returns to the land for keeps.
They say an Iowa farm is plan-
ned meticulously from back door
to back fence, the soil studied for
what it will produce best, seed
planted that will yield best.—

*‘I place economy among the
first and most important virtues,
and public debt as the greatest
dangers to be feared. To pre- |
serve our independence, we must
not let our rulers load us with
perpetual debt. We must make
our choice between economy and
liberty, or profusion and servi-
tude. If we run into such debts,
we must be taxed in our meat and
drink, in our necessities and in
our comforts, in our labors and
in our amusements. If we can
prevent the government from
wasting the labors of the people
under the pretense of caring for
them, they will be happy. The
same prudence which in private
life would forbid our paying our
money for unexplained projects,
forbids it in the disposition of
public money. We are endeavor-
ing to reduce the government to
the practice of rigid economy to
avoid burdening the people and
arming the magistrate with a pat-
ronage of money which might be
used to corrupt the principles of
our government.’
Thomas Jefferson said it. He
was the father of the Democratic
party. Some people insist that
he fathered true democracy in
this country.
UP IN IOWAY
Rural mail carries have been
given an increase in salary of 1
cent per mile of route traveled
for the next two years. Recall-
ing their experiences in attempt-
ing to render service in January
and February, the increase was
more than justified.
Workmen are now razing the

as a grade school for the City of
Dallas. It was in this building
the editor of this newspaper
learned the three R s. Probably
didn’t do a very good job of it,
as he was more interested at that
age in saddle ponies, bird dogs,

jack rabbits, Cornish Gune roost-
ers, and money with which to buy
shot gun shells.
Fools who part with their mon-

The important thing about an

both sides aired, but many other

But last year in Iowa 8.000 fann-

several made more than $50,000.
Abnormally high prices were

Travel broadens a man, but
look what it does to his pocket-
book. Furthermore, he is lucky
if he escapes the dangers of a fast
express at 90 miles an hour, or
the automobile at 75 and the air-
plane at 300. When he arrives
(if he ever arrives) it dawns on
his jittery brain that there is no
place like home.
