Iron is a fine conductor of heat.
Therefore, when an oven warns up
the hot iron conducts great deal of
the heat to other parts of the stove
and radiates it into space. AS as
bestos is poor conductor of heat, a

Deyoe Advises Agriculture.

To young men and young women
who do not know what to prepare for,
A. NJ. Deyoe, superintendent Of public
instruction, is giving the advice to
study to become teachers of agricul-
ture and manual training. The de-
mand for competent teachers in these
lines has increased SO that next year
it viii be difficult to fill the places
which will be open.
The consolidation of country schools
is creating many new positions which
require trained teachers. Mr.. Deyoe
states that there will be sixty consol-
dated schools and 160 manual train
ing high schools in the state which
will need instructors.
A few years ago there was big de-
mand for teachers Of domestic sci
ence. The result was that hundreds
OF young women specialized along
that line, and the Iowa schools now
have no difficulty in getting compe-
tent teachers. The school officials
hope that the demand for teachers
of agriculture will be supplied in the
came way.

How License Money is Spent.

The hunters license fund now in
possession OF the state contains 1885,
600, 1t has grown so large that many
OF the state officials are wondering
whether the state expects to continue
to collect the hunters tax OF 81 year
for each license issued. No change
could be made, however, until the
session of the legislature next Janu-
airy, 1t is said.
AS an example Of how the hunters
fund is being used, the executive coun-
Gil has bill from the fish and game
department showing the expenditure
of s90.25 for cooking utensils and lin
ems for the fish car. 1t took nine and
onehalf dozen napkins at total Of
1927 or ia napkins. Thirty-two
sheets were purchased at cost OF
S22.0S and thirty-two pillow cases at
a cost of $3.50. Practically every
thing known in kitchen equipment was
placed in the car. The ordinary kind
of dishes were passed over in outfit
ting the car. The set Of china bought
cost the state $21.sS. Possibly this
bill of goods will be framed so that
the hunters OF Iowa will know where
some Of their money has gone, It is
said.

FOOD PRICES SHOULD FALL

New York World: If merchants
in the eastern states are making an
excuse of the war to charge higher
prices for good, they will perhaps
be made later to listen to some ele-
mental truths by having stock left
unsold upon their hands.
War produces at the same time
famine in market lands and glut in
producing lands. Food is contra
band 1t can be shipped to England
or France only if the sea is success
fully patrolled and at buyers risk.
1t cannot be shipped to Germany at
all, and German cities already feel
the pinch of want. 1t is the price
they pay for permitting an auto
crat to make war over their heads.
Railroads refuse to bring food here
for export. 1t is clogging up some
where, waiting for peace. Imported
groceries and supplies, German beers
and French wines together with other
like commodities may for a time sell
higher, and legitimately so; the stock
once exhausted cannot at present be
replenished. But no foods raised on
American soil have any reason for
showing scarcity prices unless that
reason existed two weeks ago.
Later, when an impoverished world
takes up the task of paying for wan
ton destruction, it may be different;
! but just now let there be no nonsen sc
about raising the price of American
food to consumers. Food prices
should fall, not rise.

HER BOY

I hear the b1aring band go by;
hear the marching feet;
All day they drum their dreadful
dirge along the dusty street.
1 hear the crowds give cheer on cheer
of fierce and delirious joy.
And wonder if they see him there,
my little, little boy.
A baby only yesterday, with soft and
sunny hair;
So helpless and so innocent; so frag-
lie and so fair.
So strong l felt to shield him then,
safe sheltered in my arm,
1t seemed to me the whole wide
world could never do him
harm.
And oh, the long, long nights
watched beside his trundle
To fright away the pain that racked
his little fevered head.
I fought his battles for him then; he
leaves my side today
10 QSnL lar greater ones alone, and
oh, so far away!
| The little dimpled hand that lay so
trustingly in mine
Must grasp a rife barrel soon along
the firing line.
Ny baby boy I held so close felt his
! futtering breath
Has left me empty-armed and gone
to see the face of death
And never mothers voice to soothe
nor mothers arm to shield,
From all the direful perils of the
smoke-hung battlefield
Oh, why must mothers stay behind
Is not mothers place.
Beside the baby that must look il
deaths remorseless face?
The years have wrought change il
him that only others see
For all his soldier uniform, he's still
| a boy to me.
Sent forth to kill he knows not why
a kings insensate toy,
While must wait and pray at HON
: my baby, baby boy!

AMERICANS SHOULD
INCREASE THEIR ARMY

Savannah News: Preparation for
war in time Of peace does not mean |
continued peace. That is shown by
Europe's distressing situation. It
does not follow, however, that lack
of preparation for war would mean
continued peace. That it would be
fatal for any large European nation
to pay no attention to navy and
army building nobody doubts. 1t
would not ward off war in that way.
Its stronger neighbors would be only
too willing to take part of it's terri
tory or it's commerce. If is thought
nothing of possible war but directed
all its energies to building up a great
and profitable trade it would be
tempting it's stronger rivals TO de-
stroy its commercial prestige by
force of arms. The conclusion from
all this is that neither preparation
! for war nor lack of preparation pre-
vents war
| But the nation that is best pre-
pared for war suffers least from it.
| Hence, preparation, so long as other
/ nations are prepared, is a simple
necessity. That fact and the war
that is being waged in Europe gives
| especial weight to an interview give
day or two ago by General Leonard
! Wood, former chief of staff of the
UNITED States army, and the man
who would likely be commander-in-
chief of American armies in the
field in the event of a war in the
next few years. He said our army
was inadequate; that it should be
considerably increased; that guns
and ammunition in much greater
store should be prepared as their
manufacture in large quantities re-
quired time. Admiral Dewey thinks
the navy is too small; that there
should be one capital ship for every
state in the union.
This is a good time to boost the
movement for a larger army and
navy, for the public, reading war dis
patches from Europe, begins to see
the folly of an inadequate land and
sea force. Before the European con-
fiict is over it will see the crushing
of armies of the nations that have
failed to get ready for it during the
years of peace. The little army
and little navy" men are likely to
find themselves in the minority. Yet
the ''big army and navy" people
might do well to follow President
Wilson's advice to the country and
keep their heads
Until that dreamed of but far off
time when there will be a great
world court to settle all information
al disputes in peace the nation that
fails to prepare itself as If it expect
ed war need not hope for peace. War
may be waged, as Alfred Noyes
wrote, "for a port to export prunes, I"
or for any of great variety of rea-
sons, or for no reason at all except
that the nation that begins it thinks
it can win and thus remove a rival,
but it certainly is not prevented by
that rivals helplessness.

port that the Germans have landed
10000 men in Finland. Judging by
the reports that have come from Fin

man army would he received in that
country with open fins. And 10000

considerable trouble. Come to think
