This is not going to be a pieca
„f literary work, but if you care to
publish it, its all right with me, in
fact it suits me fine and dandy. I
j,/ wish you could show It to Rann and
although it won't come up to any
of his works of art. I'm safe in say
ing, that it is the real goods and that
I am going to send clippings .along
to substantiate what I say in: this
letter.
A As a state for old people who want
to come here in the winter and live
.In a steam heated flat It's all right.
Some tourists made a holler that
all of the apartment houses and hotels
should be steam heated, and after
talking the matter over between them
selves, the proprietors laughed at
them. But I notice that a lot of pieces
are fixed up with steam heat, and
nearly every house has either a fire
place, stove or some means of heat.
They call it Sunny California, but
say boy, Old Iowa has more nice
sunny days in winter than. Sunny
California, or at least it did this year.
They say this was an exceptionally
cold winter out here, but I know of
several parties that say that they
have had enough of Sunny California.
They say -advertising pays. It sure
does, but you can fool some of the
people' some of the time, but not all
the people all the time. My mother
has been sending me the Press and
Democrat all the time I have been
out here so I know pretty near how
things have been at home and you
can bet I'm going to pick on Old
Iowa for mine.
I complained of these meat market
men about their meat being tough,
strong and tasteless. They said where
are you from? I said, Iowa. They said
that explains it. Out here they feed
them, the horses, on cactus, back
there on corn.
Every time strangers come through
the camp grounds my boy yells out,
"I'm from Iowa" and that starts
everyone talking.
There are only a few good strips
"^hland In California and the best one
is around Whlttier. All the land in the
orange and lemon countries are the
best In California, but they are all for
•ale.
As for the swell roads you hear
talked about, Just glance at this clip
ping I am sending. They built them
for tourists to look at, but they won't
stand up under traffic. I tell them
that when Iowa does build her roads
the taxpayers will be satisfied that
the Job was done right.
Long Beach is known all over as
the Iowa town. One merchant told
me that some day they would call it
Long Beach Iowa. It is the Eastern
business men that have made the real
business houses in California. A man
from Iowa is spoken to with a whole
lot of respect, and I am glad that 1
have taught my boy to say, "I'm from
Iowa."
By a California paper, statistics say
that Texas is first and Iowa second
In agricultral line. If Iowa farmers
would spend as much time tilling
their lands as they do in California, no
other state in the U. S. would come up
Things are getting cheaper out here,

'In your papers have been cheaper
right along. If you want to get any
where you have to make them think
you are a Native Son. I won't, I tell
them I am a Native Son of Iowa. Then
they turn around and say, "That's
where the tall corn grows."
Well I can't think of anything more
so will close,

Kerer Defused Ink"
Jffed Kelley in The Nation's Business
^Writes:
Not long ago, at the most famous
hotel in the United States, the cashier,
an Irshman, hesitated about cashing
a check lor a newcomer. The guest
indignantly showed his handsomely
engraved business card which indi
cated that he was a president of a big
sounding corporation—The North and
South American Development Com
pnay, or some such name. Still the
Irish cashier hesitated. Smilingly he
tapped the engraved card with his in
dex finger and sagely remarked:
"Paper never refused ink."
There's a deal of philosophy in that
The remark should be remembered by
all business men who are too easily
impressed by a pretentious letterhead,
or by a beautifully printed stock cer
tificate.' You 'can say anything you
wish to on paper and the paper can't
help itself.
A woman who is one of the most
successful chiropodists in New York
always wears low-heeled, roomy
shoes at home or on the street, to
avoid having corns. But at her place'
of'Tiusiness she invariably wears the
most extreme French-heeled, pointed
toe slippers she can find. Because she
knows it is good business pbyctology
to give her customers to understand
that with lien feet properly looked
after, she can wear any kind of shoes
she desires.—The Nation's Business.

THE PNEUMONIA MONTH
March Is atypical pneumonia month
and usually gives a high rate of
mortality for the diesase. After a
long and hard winter, the system loses
much of Its resistance and people grow
careless. When every cold, no matter
how slight, is given prompt and In
telligent attention, there Is much less
danger of pneumonia. It should be
borne In mind that pneumonia Is a
germ disease and breeds in the throat
Chamberlain's Cough Remedy is an
expectorant and cleans out the germ

a cold but prevents Its resulting in
pneumonia. It Is pleasant to take.

BRILLIANT CHICAGOAN
FO& OUR CHAUTAUQUA
Quin O'Brien, Noted Orator, To Ap
pear Here this Summer.
Word has just been received from
the Redpath Vawter offices that Quin
O'Brien of Chicago, is to be one of
the lecture attractions on Chautau
qua this summer.
Mr. Q'Brian is widely known over the
middle west as one of the ablest
and most brilliant lawyers in America.
Last season he consented to fill a
few dates on our Chautauqua circuit
"farther on down the line", and the
reports are that the towns fairly went
wild over his work. Without exception
they requested his return for another
year.
The late Elbert Hubbard said of him,
"It is quite possible that there are
not half a dozen public speakers lu
America with the linguistic skill and
the phosphorescent purview that Mr.
O'Brien possesses. He has the grace
of person, the ease of manner, the
bubbling wit, and the intellectual
challenge that command respect, ad
miration and love. Mr. O'Brien is the
up-to-date model of American orator."
Only last week the Chicago papers
carried a long story on Mr. O'Brien's
address before the Covenant club of
the city in which the eloquent attor
ney assailed Henry Ford's attacks on
the Jews. "I have often heard it said,"
said Mr. O'Brien, "that it is a waste
of time and energy to reply to the
vicious attacks which.Henry Ford has
been making against the Jews. I don't
believe this any longer, even If I did
at first, there Is nothing so Injuriously
prevalent in American life today, noth
ing so thoroughly un-American, so re
prehensibly un-Christlan, as this all
prevading class, race and religious
hatred. Washington and Lincoln were
the greatest of American, and neither
was a bigot neither was even ortho
dox. I assure you, (gentlemen, the
fete of the nation hangs on noth
ing more surely than upon the remov
al of this vile blot on our escutcheon."
The subject for Mr. O'Brien's ad
dresses this summer is not yet an
nounced. It will be one of current
Importance.
