IOWA STILL LOSING.

Iowsns will find little to comfort
them in the population estimates by
the government census department
published in the Capital recently.
This state is given population OF
2.221,755, a loss of 3 1000 since 1910.
In the past fifteen years, the state
has lost 10000 if this estimate Is
approximately correct.
The Capital in the past few years
has conducted m:ny discussions as
to why Iowa is losing in population.
MANY reasons have been advanced.
One which seems to be the most
common is that Iowa loses because
the people make so much money IN
Iowa they can afford to go elsewhere
to live. Just why people should pre-
fer to live in other states than the
grand old Hawkeye state is a puZzler.
However Iowa faces a proposition.
Fifteen wears ago this state had the
unevitable distinction of being the
only one in the union to lose popula-
ton. Apparently conditions have not
changed. Movements which nave
been launched to advertise the ad-
Vantages of this state to the people
of other states are worthy OF fullest
Endorsement Iowa needs a course
in self education. Her own people
do not appreciate her. The Capital
expects great things from the New
Greater Iowa movement but 1t can
never succeed unless it is supported
sincerely and enthusiastically by ev-
cry loyal Iowan.-Des Moines Capl-

GOVERNMENT OWNERSHIP OR
WHAT?

1t was stated before the Inter-
State Commerce Commission, by
counsel for the railroads asking to
be allowed to increase rates, that
government ownership of the roads
would be a necessary sequence of re-
fusal.
This is a familiar warning, but at
the very worse some other conse-
quence might follow.
1t is obvious that the country must
have railroads, and railroads which
are constantly improving their ser
vice and charging their facilities. II
has become obvious that they are
having increased difficulty in raising
new capital to meet this necessity OF
the nation Possibly this situation
on the basis of existing rates will
grow worse.
If it does, government ownership
may not follow 1t may be that the
public credit will have to step in tc
supply needs which private capital
refuses longer to provide. 1t may be
instead, that the country and con.
gress will prefer to strip the commits.

WHY?

Why is it that we can not seem to
get as righteously indignant over
evils at home as over evils abroad?
Why is there more public excite
ment over the rumored death OF a
dozen American citizens in Mexico
than over the actual killing of nearly
500 persons in a strike war in Colo
RADIO?
Why, when we demand that life
and property be rendered safe south
of the Rio Grande on penalty of war,
do we not also make war on mining
conditions which cause the slaughter
of IFS men in an accident in a
West Virginia coal mine?
Let those answer who can. The
Journal does not pretend to solve
the riddle The Journal knows that
the death record and the strike rec
ord in American coal mines are dis
grace to the nation. 1t knows like
wise that the American people are
humane, ingenious, inventive, cap
able. Why these good qualities are
not set at the task of stopping these
needless killings underground and
needless strife on the surface in our
coal-fields, this paper can not say

THE SENATORIAL SITUATION.

The rank and file of the democrat
ic party are willing that Messrs.
Meredith and Connolly both continue
as candidates before the primary for
the U. S. senatorial nomination-and
why not. Two better progressive
democrats could not be found in the
state and either will make an accept
able candidate, and therein the party
is certainly fortunate. With either
Mr.. Meredith or Mr.. Connolly as our
candidate there is no question what
the final result will be if over-zealous
democrats or mischief making repub-
licans do not succeed in Transforming
what is intended, and should be, a
friendly contest, into a political
wrangle. This is not a good time
for democrats to permit anything to
sway them from the path of duty to
the party, and to the administration,
by allowing their devotion to one
candidate or the other and to lead
themselves to do things and say
things that will require adjustment
after the primaries are held 1t is
= time for sane deliberation and the
person who brings discord to the
democratic ranks at this time may be
held responsible for the defeat of the
democratic candidate for the United
States senate next fall.-Indiano1a

Congressman Maurice Connolly
came back to Washington this week
after hurried trip to Iowa, dur
ing which he canvassed the state and
found strong sentiment in favor of
his candidacy for the United States
senate. He was gratified on his re-

in the house, Senator Ollie James OF

the strongest Wilson leaders in the
senate, and House Leader Oscar I'm

v. r. McGINNIS.

Two years ago V. r. McGinnis, of
Leon, was the nominee for congress
in this district. He made a vigorous
and clean campaign and polled a
good vote. He is recognized as one
of the ablest lawyers Of the state and
a man of splendid ability as speak
er. He has been a working, fighting,
progressive democrat. and should he
be nominated for governor at the
June primary he will meet strong
and we believe a successful race. The
democrats of Iowa could nominate
no better man for governor, and the
eighth congressional district should
roll up big majority for McGinnis.

to advantage, really cost us nothing.
Hang the heads up where the hens
will have to work little to get them
or scatter the seeds in the litter.
If these seeds are fed mixed with
the other grains that are scattered in
the litter, or as change from the
others, it will of course not be nec-
essary to feed so much of the expen-
sive grains.
The small potatoes and the potato
parings and trimmings from other veg
etables used in the house can be
boiled, sailed and peppered, as for
the table, and little bran and corn
meal mixed with them, just enough
to take up the surplus moisture. SO
that the mixture will not be sloppy.
This makes a good, and also very
inexpensive mash food. With it may
be mixed the mcat-scraps.
Beef bones and scraps should be
run through bone cutter, or be chop
ped up by hand into small pieces, be-
fore giving to the hens.
Skimmilk costs really nothing on
the farms, and if the hens have all
of it they will drink, they will not eat
so much other food.
If these cheap feeds are handled
right, it will leave only the last feed
at night to be of the high-priced
grains, and if well fed during the day
on these other things they will not
eat so much of it then.
They should have a good feed of
grain, mostly corn for their supper in
order to keep them healthy and sup
ply bodily heat during the cold
weather.
BY following these directions, the
hens can be almost entirely kept on
the waste products of the farm, and
what is received for the eggs will be
nearly all profit.
If properly housed and given plenty
of warm water to drink, they will lay
we'll on this bill-of-fare, and we can
rejoice over a good supply of eggs
when winter is here and the price
goes soaring.

THE Oriental influence is distinct

another is draped over the silk foun-
dation. There is first skirt of silk
yelled with chiffon. Six narrow
ruff1es are also yelled with chiffon with
q border or tuck of this fabric ex-
tending below each ruf1e.
Over this skirt a tunic of lace is
worn, extending almost to the knees.
One would think this quite enough in
the way of draping, but over this a
drapery of gorgeously embroidered
chiffon is gathered like second tunic.
By way of iurther elaboration a
wreath of scattered chiffon roses on
a fuzzy stem extends from the bust to
the hem of the embroidered chiffon,
and small bouquet at its upper end
finishes the corsage.
The draped shoulder and opening at
the neck are finished with a fine lace
edging. There is narrow crushed
girdle of chiffon.

SEASONS COLOR IS YELLOW

Is Becoming to the Average
Wearer.

Yellow is much seen in these days.
Last spring yellow was first extensive
ly used in lingerie Ribbons of yell
low were run into all sorts Of under
wear and negligees. Then yellow
and crepe de chine were used for the
making of rest robes and petticoats
and chemises and night gowns Vel
low waists of chiffon and crepe de
chine were next worn. And then eve
ming frocks and afternoon frocks OF
yellow appeared. There are even
some yellow tweed street suits. yell
low is usually becoming color, If it
is skillfully handled But there are
not many skins that are improved by
coming into direct contact with yell
low. This fact is now understood by
most dressmakers. In almost all the
gowns and blouses of yellow there is
a generous use of cream of white
tulle at the throat There is usually
touch Of black somewhere on these
yellow garments. A little black vel
vet at the wrist or elbow or belt. or
a knot of black in the drapery of the
skirt, gives character to the color that
might otherwise seem monotonous.

(By l.. M. BENNINGTON)
A man with an active liver is al
ways an optimist.
All kinds of grain, both whole and
ground, are so high in price that it
will pay us to study how to feed the
hens as cheaply as possible and still
secure good results.
Bran is heavy expense, and the
amount used can be greatly lessened
by feeding cut clover, or cowpea hay.
These contain the same elements
as wheat bran and are very palatable
for the hens when steamed.
Cut or break the hay into small
pieces, pack into tub or bucket and
pour over it all the boiling water it
will absorb, then cover closely and
let stand so or 40 minutes before
feeding.
In the winter the hens cannot get
green grass-they relish this very
