@PLEAsE PAY Up'

This is the subject OF an advertise
ment appearing in today's paper on
the subject of SO much interest 10
those who have been doing business
In the South this year. It is a sub
ject which one may we'll consider.
For the first eight months OF ths year
contracts were made and debts con-
tracted with view of paying out of
q bountiful harvest, and at q good
price. Since that time the European
countries have been plunged into the
most gigantic warfare that the world
has ever known, and while the United
States has not been directly concern
ed In this war. there have been many
indirect results. chief among which
are the disarrangement OF our CON-
merce. and the rreadjustment OF in.
ternattonal affairs. The effects OF this
disarrangeroent falls heaviest upor
the South, and we feel II most down
here where cotton IN king.
The South, therefore. has q problem
sll her own. We must resort to meth:
DDS We did not think were necessary
several months ago. and do things we
d.d not think we should ever have To
do. Not the least Of these Ia TO pocket"
. considerable loss ON our, cotton
crop. This we hate very much to do,
and we fell rather indignant at having
to do II. Asswe have tried to point out
In AZ fair manner as we know how,
we must not sit dpwn because because
there IS loss, but we must consider
what our duty Is in regard to these
new problems and perform that duty
patriotica,ly- and we say this adyis-
ediy. 1t Is q patriotic duty.
The farmer will have loss, The
business man will have q loss News
papers. even viii have g loss. some
thing for all Of us 90 do is to make
extraordinary Efforts to meet the
changed conditions. and 50 ARRANGE
shat We shall not have this to DO again.

To the farmer 1t will mean sacri-
fee Of part OF his crop; to the mer-
chant 1t will mean p sale Of goods at
q lower profit; to the railroads 1t will
mean loss in freight and passenger
rates; to the newspaper 1t means les
sened receipts from subscriptions and
advertising. But Ws must be game

to providing dinner for,all children
who may be hungry and who have nc

READ clAakE's EXPLANATION.

Governor Clarke in his speech at Sioux
City explained the plan and reasons
for the capitol extension in way that
should convince all reasonable persons
The ground covered by the governor
has all been gone over many times, IN
deed had been fully considered thru
Z half dozen administrations while the
necessity for improvement grew. The
governor simply talked over in busi-
ness sort of fashion with his auditors
the reasons why it should be done now
and the probable expense of the eX-
tension work. 1t was a convincing
talk and every voter in the state should
give 1t full attention
AS the capitol stands the plant is
inadequate to the needs of the state
1t will not house the officers or the
state and a new office building must
soon be erected for the accommodation
of state officers which is the accom-
mediation of the state. Ground for a
new heating plant must be had. AS
the grounds stand there is no place for
the Allison monument or for future
memorials to men and epochs notable
in Iowa history. The state militia has
no proper arsenal and there is prospect
of such building and ground IS
needed for it, And in the face of the
eras assertion and bowling over i'm
mense cost to be created. the governor
explains that the cost of the grounds
will not be above a million, feels free
to guarantee that it will be bought at
reasonable prices and makes the safe
assertion that the land itself will show
a profit We're the state to offer it for
sale immediately after the purchase
papers have been signed
When the truth finally soaks thru
into the general understanding there
will be no general objection against
the capitol improvement. 1t is good
buy as regards the grounds. the build
ings are needed Indeed there is no
serious general objection at present
Certain men are striving to make
political capital for themselves and
embarrassment inside their own party
and naturally the democrats are swift
to seek opportunity and raise issue
which may be water on their wheel.
That is about all there Is to the capitol

was served at once. He grandly sat
down to the table, and raved over the

restaurants and the dining cars. He
was taken to his room, but failed to
observe that a hard wood floor, new
rug and new furniture and drap-
cries had replaced the old. He was
called to the telephone. Some Of the
boys wanted him to meet them soma
where. lie promised and went After
that the boys and girls kept him busy.
Mother and the girls packed the
Christmas dainties in baskets and sent
the baskets to the poor; they were not

room looked as tho a cyclone had
struck it: he had come home to dress

mother and the girls received a hasty
peck on their cheeks, and in a minute

tried to grow all his apples to it. The
apple that failed to come up to the
specifications went to the cider mills or
the hoglot. The standard apple was
the only one that paid a profit. Also
it was the only one to get past the
pigs.
