MAKE CIDER VINEGAR
OF UNSALEABLE APPLES

Iowa farmers lose many thous-
ands of dollars each year by per
uniting unstable, low grade apples
to decay in the orchards" says Dali
~ and Food Commissioner Barney
In a bulletin that he is issuing on
the subject of farm made cider vi
negar.
The bulletin gives plain and ex-
p1icit directions for making vinegar
that will not only comply with the
Dairy and Food laws, but will com
mard a better price than the ayerag
factory product
For several years, Iowa jobbers
have been compelled to purchase
Of vinegar from the cider mills of
Michigan and New York to meet
the demand, which should be SUD-
piled by the Iowa FARMERS. By pro-
per encouragement, we believe that
Iowa farmers will utilize their Low
grade apples and convert them into
readily salable cash product.
The State Dairy and Food law
requires that cider vinegar be made
solely from the apple cider without
the addition of any other substance
and contain at least four percent
of acetic (winegar acid.) AS a
means Of assisting the farmer i'm
telling the strength of his vinegar,
the Dairy and Food Commission will
analyze. free of charge to determine
the amount of acid they contain.
The Bulletin on Cider Vinegar,
which is known as Bulletin no. IL,
will be sent free of charge to any
citizen of Iowa. Simply send your
request on postal card to w. B.

THE NEXT DAY DRIVE

The Prohibitiorists have decided
that the time has come to leave off
merely asking and to demand what
they want The success with which
the dry movem emit has met, in prac-
tically all the states except Ohio
and California, has convinced the
church people who make up the ma
jority of the dry forces, that they
can have their way completely if
they absolutely insist upon it.
Therefore they have determined to
enter the next national conventions
with the democratic, republican and
progressive presidential candidates
absolutely pledged to be unequivo-
cally for prohibition. They say that
they hardly expect ito have ma
jority in either of the conventions,
but that they are likely to have a
vote large enough to exercise a do
minant Influence over the fortunes
of any candidate who does not meet
fheir requirements.
The fact has transpired that an
effective organization already has
been completed to look after the e.
lection of delegates to the conven-
lions. The drys in all three par
ties are combining to send enough
delegates, they say, to see that on
ly prohibitionist is on guard at
the white house. Then they will
turn their attention to the senator's
and representatives

TELL YOUR FRIENDS
WHAT YOU ARE DOING

The state of North Dakota has be
gun to put into operation plan
which should bring thousands of ne
settlers Within next year. The le-
Stature has appropriated $500
for the promotion of immigration
in the next two years. R. f. Flint
commissioner of agriculture has Civ
en- an impetus to the plan by ask
ing the cooperation of all the coun-
try newspapers in state to ind uce
their readers to write personal let.
tiers to old friends ''back home.
Those farmers who ale ell situat-
ed and who have prospered are
urged to write their friends a2l rel
atives in the older states, in the
cities and in Europe, too, telling
them of their success, of the re
sources of the state, how they raise
corn, clover, alfalfa, cattle and hogs
and in fact, to try and induce those
friends to break away from the Cit
les and the older communities and
settle in North Dakota.
The plan seems to be a good one
and doubtless will result in a great
gain in the population of North Da-
kota. But the plan need not be COM
fined to that state alone. Amy pros
porous rural community can bene-
fit itself if lis energetic men and
women will help to spread the Cos
pei of country life. Almost every
one Of our readers can think
of some friend or relative now
stru gglimg along i'm some town Or
city who, il transplanted to mod
est farm, would be healthier, HAP
pier and more prosperous than
they are at present. Let our readers
try the North Dakota plan. Write
to your friends, tell them what you
are doing and what you mean to do
point out to them that farming to-
day is not wha lis was 40, 80 or ev-
en- 10 years ago. Write to your old
home town newspapers and let your
old friends know how we'll you are
getting on. Pass a good timing along
You will be doing your friends a
favor and you will be helping the
community.

WATER PIPE LEAKAGE
SHOULD Be REPAIRED

A card issued by the Council
Bluffs water works department in
forms its patrons of the COSTLY mat
ure of leakages of the pipes. 1t
says, the leaks of various sizes at
the average pressure Of the system
80 pounds, during the period of 80
days lis as follows) 1854 inch, size
OF the finest cambria needle 1892
gallons. 1882 inch, size of pin,
1913 gallons, Lie inch 41,O4O
gallons. Is inch, 164,16O gallons.
Id inlah, 664,69O gallons
AT Council Bluffs rates, these
leaks would cost the consumer from
80 cents to $9S.50 per month.
From which it will be seen THAT
water consumers should have ALL
repaired. The leakage goes through
the meteor and the consumer must
pay it.
Water consumers of Extra should
likewise see to 1T that all known
leakage be repaired as soon as dis
covered.
