PASTOR TALKS OF LIFE
AND SOUL INSURANCE

Life insurance was the topic of Rev.
Craig S. Thoms. pastor of the First
Baptist church, last evening in his
sermon, which was one of a series.
Life insurance was described as a
preparation for the exigencies of the
future. Soul insurance, the speaker
said. was even more important. He
urged his hearers who had not done
so TO look TO the future of their souls.

blue field. representing new constel-
lation." The thirteen stars were ar
ranged In a circle to symbolic the
perpetuity Of the union OF the states.
Vermont was admitted to the
union in 1871 and kentucky in 1879.
II was felt that these two new states
ought to be recognized on the flag,
so In 1874 congress passed an act
making the flag fifteen stars and fif-
teen stripes.
This remained the flag Of the Unit
ed States throughout the war OF 1872.
until there were twenty states in the
union. In 1916, an effort was again
made to modify the flag so that all
the new states would be represented
on 1t. To be continually adding
stripes would make the flag very
awkward In shape and appearance, -
after arguing the matter for two
years, congress decided to return to
the original thirteen stripes and one
star for each state. Congress has
never determined the arrangement OF
the stars nor the shape and proper
lions of the flag and there has been
great variation, especially in the
grouping OF the stars. There are still
many who believe that the symbolic
circular grouping Of stars should be
restored.

suNsTRoKE AND IT'S TREAT
MENT.

Hippocrates, who lived 300 years
before Chris, had very simple
method OF treating people for sun
stroke, says DR.. J. H. Kellogg In the
Battle Greek Idea. His plan was to
have one person pour cool water on
the patient while two or three others
rubbed him vigorously. The applica-
ton of cold water alone is dangerous
because it drives The blood inward.
If we apply cold water to the skin, and
and at the same time rub the surface
vigorously, this brings the blood to
the surface and keeps it there and the
body is rapidly cooled.
Sunstroke is very dangerous acct
dent. And is likely to prove fatal
without proper treatment; but by the
use of water poured from a height OF
FIVE or six feet and with two or three
people rubbing the patient vigorously
we may expec. cure in nearly every
case. Especial pains should be taken
to wet the head and back Of the neck,
and keep these parts cool. Continue
the rubbing until the skin Is well
Redeemed and consciousness restored.

IOWA IS PROSPEROUS

Along with Iowa, northern Missouri
and eastern Nebraska have unusuai
promise of big crops this year, but
they lack somewhat in financial stand-
ing owing to short crops OF last year.
Minnesota and Wisconsin. wheat pro
ducine states are said to be looking
forward to the greatest returns me
farmers have ever known.
The secretary says that Oklahoma
needs $4,000 men to harvest Its crops.
Missouri needs 10000 men. and Kan
sas has asked for 10000 men IN the
wheat fields, he declares.
Regarding conditions as whole,
the secretary says:
money is not SO scarce anywhere
that banks refuse legitimate borrow
ers. The reverse is true. We have
sent large sums abroad OF late with
out cramping our financial resources,
It comes to me from more than one
quarter OF the country that men who
are pessimistic of speech are pros
porous in pocket"
Howard N. Whitney of the Iowa de-
partment of agriculture asserts that
Iowa's business supremacy is due to
the vast amount Of wealth created
here in the agricultural district. In
1918 the field crops OF this state, to-
gether with the poultry, wool ana
dairy products, amounted to $522.474,-
227. Added to the value of live stock
ON farms Jan. 1, 1914, the total
reached $685., 476,227. Or nearly one
billion dollars. No other state ap-
preached that remarkable record.
In the matter OF hogs. although
Iowa lost one-fourth OF its swine by
hog cholera last year, 1t still had more
hogs left than any other state. Iowa
had 6,976,000 head on Jan. l. 1914,
valued at $s7, $4,000. Illinois was
second with Ass, 600 head, valued at
s47. O66, 900. Iowa had $40,0o0,000 hogs
than Illinois, after losing 1000, 900
by hog cholera.
One OF the material signs Of lowa's
prosperity Is the increase in number
of automobiles purchased by Iowa
farmers. w. s. Allen, secretary OF
state, has issued licenses to more than
80 600 automobiles this year, $4,000
more than were issued during the en-
tire year Of 1918. And the registra-
Itions are continuing a. the rate OF BOD
a day or 5000 week. The depart.
ment is unable to predict what the
total for the year will be. Long age
lit said that the number would exceed
100000.

Business conditions In Iowa are ON
the highest wave OF prosperity accord
ing to Secretary of Commerce Red
field. There are only two other SEQ
tinns OF the country where conditions
ara as good. These take in part OF
western Texas and eastern Arizona
ON the southwest, and parts OF Geor-
gia, North and South Carolina In the
southwest.
In telling of the business atmos-
phere OF the country. Secretary Red
field In an address at Raleigh, n. e.,
used terms TO make up comm ercial
weather map. BY this system he de-
scribes conditions In Iowa and tbs
wheat states as high pressure. This
territory includes the lake country
where the automobiles are made and
sold. Minnesota and Wisconsin are
credited with unusual business fevors.
Just outside Of the high business
pressure zone is another strip OF ter
ritory In the middle west where con-
ditions are described as good and
with no unsettled conditions. This
strip extends from Montana southwark
through western Dakota, Nebraska
and Kansas. through central Missouri
and Illinois. Outside OF that zone IS
another where conditions are normal.
This includes the great cotton states
OF the south and extending up to Mon
tana. The southwest and the south
east have high pressure business con-
ditions, while the northwest and north
east are said to be feeling business
depression.
The low point IN business. the sec
rstary says. is IN the east, around
Boston where there are extensive In
vestments in stocks. Conditions i'm
prove by tenths OF degrees in tina
zones outside OF the low area. New
York shows fve-tenths better than
Boston, but normal is not reached
until striking western Pennsylvania
and eastern Ohio.
Iowa's prosperity is so marked that
it stands out In the business world.
The remarkable agricultural returns
Of 1913 placed this state In the first
rank in the producing states with
crops and live stock worth billion
dollars. This year the prospect Of
AGRICULTURAL blessings were never bet
ter The planting season was ideal.
Plenty OF rain has been falling where
needed, it is said. Bankers and bust
ness men look upon Iowa as the rich
est Of territory owing to the posi-
bility Of newly created wealth this
fall.

ELECTRIC RAILWAYS PLAY NEW
PART

In discussing the relations OF cleo
trio railways to agriculture, as set
forth in recent meeting Of the
Massachusetts Street Railway asso-
citation, the April issue Of Aera says:
The mere laying Of SO many miles
OF track in, or the operation of so
many cars each twentyfour hours
through, any given territory does
not end a railways duty. either to
itself or to the community. Business,
II it exists, must be stimulated, IL 1t
does not exist, must be created, In
order that the railway secure all pos
sible returns. To the casual observ-
er much of the territory through
which the roads, whose officers took
part IN the Massachusetts, associa-
tons discussion, operate seems a
particularly barren field for the de-
velopment Of trafic. Yet, by care
full study of conditions. by determ-
nation of the kind of traffic which
might be developed and by the choice
|of well-devised methods OF building UP
such traffic, both the companies and
the communities have been material
lily benefited.
Consumers are continually COM
planning Of the high cost OF farm
products. Farmers are equally insist
|ent that their profits are not large
and all statistics show . marked dis
|crepancy between the price at the
farm and the price at the kitchen.

Ier in touch, with the elimination or

The national foreign trade conven-
ton, representing hundred leading
commercial and Industrial organiza-
lions OF the country, has just come to

suggests a timely inquiry:
Which side Of the foreign trade

credit or the debit side? For years.
under republican protective tariff
law. the United States has been on
the credit side, with plenty OF gold
piling ND in our vaults instead OF in
foreign banks.
But now,
Reports show that America is send
ing a great deal Of gold across the
seas. Whether this gold Is going to
pay for the heavy imports under lie
democratic tariff law. we must, with
perfect fairness, Say Il yet 70 be seen.
But this is true right now; We have
plenty OF gold here in America and
the reason we have plenty Of gold IL

M. Browns Change Of Mind.


Burlington Hawk-Eye: Mr.. w. G..
Brown, former president OF the New
York Central railway, who used to be
opposed to government. regulation or
railroads, announced to the state
bankers meeting at Clinton that he
mas changed his mind and now is in
favor of It. Mr. Browns attitude,
says the Clinton Herald, SIS typical OF
a change Of attitude manifested by
railroad men throughout the country.
They recognize now that railroads are
quasi-public institutions, and that the
owners are In reality the custodians
Of a delegated power OF the govern
men., that of providing for means OF
transportation. There Is no essential
difference between a railroad and a
country road, save that railroad can
not be operated without great ex-
pense, and consequently must make a
charge for its services. The power is
delegated for the sake Of eficien.
management"
Conditions have changed very ma
terially since the agitation for govern
ment regulation was begun by the
granger movement back In the 70's.
Nearly all lines of business are now
subjected to governmental supervis-
ion patterned somewhat after the
practice by the monarchical and semi
republican governments Of Europe.
This has gone to such an extent that
it would be anomalous to make rail-
roads an exception to the general rule.
Whatever OF good and whatever of Ill
is to flow from pa.ernalistic policy
remains to be tried out; with the
hope that the salvatory qualities OF
the human judgment will work out OF
the economic maelstrom solid and
final basis of worldwide prosperity.

Your flag and our flag,
And how it floats today
Ger your land and my land,
And half the world away.

Sky blue and true blue,
With starts that beam Alright;

A shelter through the night
Your flag and my flag
Oh, how much 1t holds.

Secure within it's folds.
