CLINTON. Iowa, Nov. 1e.-All
began yesterday.
The Greater Iowa association an
Z nounces that it has secured three
hundred and ffty-fve speakers
throughout the state and that these
speakers will avorage a little better
than two meetings each. This makes
something over seven hundred Great
err Iowa meetings which will be held
this week.
Every school teacher in Iowa,
whether in the rural schools, the COM
mercial schools or the colleges or
high schools, has been supplied with
the complete story of the Greater
Iowa association, and what 1t hopes
to do. Through the superintendent of
public instruction, A. NJ Deyoe, this
Greater Iowa story will be placed be
fore every scholar in Iowa during this
week In the primary grades the
matter will be explained in simple
way and SO on until it reaches the
highest education In the state.
Nearly one hundred women's clubs
are going to hold special meetings
during the week and listen to dis
cussion on Iowa and her resources.
Mrs. BENJAMIN B. Clark, president Of
the Iowa Federation OF Women's clubs,
sent out a program for Greater Iowa

The program itself was suggested by
Mrs. w. A. Sanford of Cherokee.
During the past week meetings have

opoly in supplying all such needs at
very remunerative prices? This state
of affairs cannot fail to restore pros
perity to this country very soon as
well as create an investment demand
for our dividend paying securities.
What is needed In this country at the
present time is more confidence,
based on our present superior posi-.
ton and condition over all other ma
tions, and more courage to strike out
and seize the unprecedented oppor-
tunities now offered for expanding.
An important influence in depress.
ing our stock market was the Balkan
war, which at the start was correctly
measured in London, Berlin, Paris
and other European cities, but was un.
derestimated in Wall street. We con-
sidered 1t Of but little Importance as
at that time we were having a boom
In the stock market with everybody
feeling confident Of higher prices,
stand up and take the avalanche Of
securities that was unloaded upon us
at high prices. and this country has
been staggering more or less under
that load ever since. The stocks thus
sold out have never been taken back
on the other side, those who have
dealt in our securities meanwhile
having only made quick in and out
turns. The securities which are now
held abroad are almost entirely Of
the investment grade. No European
securities at the present time can
possibly be as safe as ours for people
on the other side to hold, not only for
Investment, but for fluctuating differ
ences, and this will continue to be the
case during the present devastating
war which threatens destruction In
all directions--which we are out OF
and in which we are not likely to be.
come involved, besides having the
brightest outlook for speedy return
to great prosperity. Why, therefore,
should holders Of our investment Sc
curities abroad sell them at panic
prices, and why should we fear that
they will dump them upon IN to the
extent of hampering us to take care
Of them? There is no justiflable rea-
son to expect such unloading process
which many of the banking people
are afraid Of when the stock ex-
change opens. Let us have an open
stock market and supply and demand
will prove, as is always the case, the
true regulator Of prices. 1t was wise
to have closed the exchange upon the
commencement Of hostilities, and it
will be equally wise to soon open it
again. am in favor of the exchange
opening without much further delay,
after the new national banking sys-
tenn starts, but of course under rea-
sonable restrictions to be imposed at
the start. 1t will be much better to
resume business on the exchange
while prices are down as at present,
than to wait until general conditions
are such that prices would naturally
start buoyantly high. in which case
the advance would be apt to be fol-
lowed by a decline through foreign
stocks being dumped upon us, as high
prices would encourage foreign sell
ing, while low prices would deter
them from doing so.

Planning to urge the adoption of a

pal Research club will shortly inaug-
urate active work on an educational
and publicity campaign to spread the

A special committee is now at work

The movement begun about two
years ago, when Governor Frear

work Of two years ago did not materi-
