great work of humanity. Sunday
schools, the churches, women's clubs,
lodges ministers, teachers press and
the great hearted men and women
of this country are pushing on the
work. Whatever is done must be-
done quickly, as there is a certain
time that everything, money or
clothing, must be at the collecting
centers il, order that that great
ship can sail on it's errand of mer-
cy. This is not to be old clothing.
In many places the school children
have candy sales, entertainments,
penny boxes are established in
schools but in such a way that no
ONE is embarrass ed about the CIV

cities i'm the domestic science class

With election only a few days a
way ti.ere is still no show of in
terest among voters.
Not rlany are hazarding a guess
as to the meaning of the remarka-
ble pre- election quietness. Whether
it is due to actual indifference, as
whether It is the quiet arising from
certainty of mind is a rather puzz-
ling question. especially to those
whose names are on the official bal
lots.
Is the democratic administration
at Washington to be indorsed by
the people?
Are Pres. Wilson and Sec. Bryan
to be upheld in their PEACEFUL way
of handling Mexican affairs? Or is
the administration to be censured
for a tariff bill which seems to
discrimmate against farming class
es, and which has had to be supple
menied by a hundred million dollar
war tax i'm times of peace? These
are questions which no one is able
at present to answer dntelligently.
In state affairs, Governor Clarke
seems to be a winner. The cry "a
gaingt capitol extension has moi
much impression, 1T seems upon
Iowa voters.
The fight for the state representa-
tiveship has, taken no definite form
Perhaps the only issue of immediate
interest to voters is that of altering

A LIVE TIP FOR
LIVE JOURNAL READERS

Look here, good friend, can't you
see that 1T is necessary for you to
become thoughtful student of the
Great European War?
Why?
Because it is to your interest to
do so
What, for example is to deter
mime the prices of your produce
while this war lasts?
The war, itself of course The
greater the armies in the field, the
greater the number Of untilled
fields, and the greater the number
of other fields laid waste the
greater the stream of gold that is
coming to Iowa and her good peo-
pie.
It is true, isn't it?
And how long will the Great Wal
last?
Don't you wish you knew?
A careful study of the maps of
European nations right now throws
some valuable light on this import
ant question. In no other way can
you interpret the real meaning oi
the news of the day. One place Looks
like another in the news dispatches
but they look very different when
you hunt them up on the maps
knowing where, the great battle line
are drawn, and how each place won
or lost must bear on the final resul
No matter who you are, if you
have any material interests in life
whatever, you need the Journals

HERE TWENTY ONE
YEARS AGO

Mr.. and Mrs. Walter K. Humphry
and little grandaughte Irene of
Fayette Iowa, who have been on a
visit to brothers and sisters in Col
orado, came here to visit relatives
while on their return trip.
NJ rs. Humphry is sister of Mrs.
A. Siebert while Mr.. Hunlphry is a
cousin of the editor of the Journal
1t is twenty one years ago when
last Mr.. Humphry was in these
parts In the early eighties he owned
land i'm the north part of this cour
jty which he later sold and bought
an heirship farm of several hun
dred acres in Clayton County Iowa
where he lived and accumulated
fortune. Retiring from the farm a
few years ago he moved to Fayette
Iowa-the home of The Upper Iowa
Uniwersity-to educate his son
who has not yet attained his ma
jority and finding retired life too
tame he bought mercantile es-
ltablishment there where he is elr.-
joylng fine trade.
! Their stay has been one round
of pleasure and reminisence. 1t
was when he was eight years OF
age that his parents with the
rest of the family of four children
all told made our old home in En-
gland visit which eliminated in
our voyage to the United States
with them, and to Iowa where WE
have since resided. The new home
i to us in Iowa was the farm MIR
Humphry now owns, a beautiful
farm nesting between the hills
near the beautiful village OF
Volga in Clayton county where ON
the 5th day of May 1867 we firgt
beheld an Iowa snow storm. 1t was
a real contrast to the sweet scent
ed hedges, adorned by nature with
lovely flowers and primroses parti-
eularly IN profus:on, and vegetables
of all kiEde on the market just
three weeks before. The snow did
not last long.

or abolishing the new road law. On
this matter candidates have not
made known their positions def
nitelyEzIt is a'matter of Importance;
since 4owa's chance of securing ulti-
mately really good dirt roads seems
to depend upon the men who are
sent to Des Moines this year. Voters
should know whether candi dates in
tend to amend the present law, re-
moving its defects, or whether they
are bent on repeating it altogether
and going back to the old road sys-
tenn, which never did and never
would result in anything but bung-
Ling work at road making.
AS for Co. offices the only sign
by which to judge is the record of
the past. While Audubon county is
normally republican, it has general
ly kept one or two democrats in the
court house. he "unwritten law
which our voters seem to have OBJ
served in the past is that the best
man should be chosen but that with
equally good men on the two tickets
the republicans should have majori
lty of offices but mot all of them.
Whether this rule will be observed
this year remains to be seen. lon
one point however most people agre
viz, that neither party should be-
given exclusive possession of the
court house.

EXTRA SHOULD Be
50 FAVORED

About 5000 bass cropperies and
blue gills were berated into the
slough near Dedham Last week. The
fish will not be large enough to
catch for three years. State Fish
Warden Henshaw of Spirit Lake la.
anG his assistants did the work.
Extra needs just such a number
to replenish the Nishna. For some
time we ave beel a.kin and have
had promises of them but nothing
further develops.
We have natural protection for
young fish and by right ought to
have them, and by thunder will kave
them, there now. Let us all pull to
gether, and give the old fish warder
a jar. What is good for a Dedham
slough is gcod fer our river.
