The harvest field is more profit

men to work off their surplus en-

The state of New York in recent
years has issued $10O,0O0,00O worth
of bonds, the proceeds being used for
road building. And the people of
the state seem well satisfied with
what they got, despite the fact that
graft and pelf ran riot while the
work was in progress. Iowa ought to
do something of that kind, but it
ought to see to it that all graft is
kept out.

No, the country doesn't want any
special session of congress at this
time On the contrary, if it could
be done the country would be
mighty thankful if President Wilson
would postpone a meeting of the ma
tional legislature until the Euro
pean war is closed.

Romania, with a population OF
about six millions, is reported to be
mobolizing her army and it is said
she can put 100000 trained and
fully equipped soldiers into the field.
1t is astonishing how many fighting
men the little countries of Europe
can supply. 1t is said that Switzer-
land, with less than three and a half
millions of people, can raise an army
of 100000.

The deficit of the United States
treasury for the eleven months end
ing June first is over $107, 100000,
but the west is prosperous just the
same. In fact, the condition of the
national treasury has little influence
upon the business situation out this
way.

That it would be shelving sena-

According to advices from Ger
many many Americans, some of
whom have resided in that country
for years, are going to Switzerland
for safety. The feeling in Germany
is strong against all Americans and
they are leaving through fear that
there will be violence.
Sioux City turns the $1,000 point
in her population and has 7S7 to

second city in the state, we believe,
and it is not many years since the

Sioux City is entitled to the honor
that is hers for what she has made
of herself.

Italy, too, was forced into the war
and has issued a statement to prove
it. Up to this time she has been
making a good record against Aus
tria, but when the Germans and
Austrians get through chasing the
Russians back into Russia they will
give more attention to the Italian
invaders. Then look out. The Ital-
ian army will have all it can do to
maintain it's gains, and some author
tiles predict it will have more than
it can do.

In the Balkan states is where the
present European war really started
and the indications are now that all
of them will be in the fight before
the conflict ends. The allies are u.s.
ing every influence to get Romania
involved and if Romania gets in it
is almost certain that Greece will
follow. Then Turkey will be up
against the real thing and Constan-
tinople must soon fall.

The census returns show that Bur-

The Marshalltown Times-Republi-

The republican publicity associa-
ton, Senator Bourne president,
headquarters at Washington, is do
ing some good work for republican
ism. This fact is being emphasized
by the unjust and unfair attacks be-
ing made upon it by the democratic
press of the country. The associa-
ton is non-partisan, so far as men
are concerned. In other words, the
organization is not, and gives assur-
ances that it will not, permit itself
to be used in the interest of any can
didates. Democratic partisans are
trying to make it appear that the
association is going to boom candi-
dates for the various offices, prior to
nominations, but the association has
done nothing thus far to warrant
such assertions and until it does re-
publicans generally will accept its
pledges not to do so at par value.

The Washington correspondents,

The Washington correspondents,
who always think they are smarter
than anybody else, have few more
guesses coming on the German stu
alton. They were cock-sure that
the Kaiser was going to bow to the
demands of President Wilson's note,
but the bow was so stiff and straight
that the Kaiser almost fell over
backward. 1t would be just as we'll
for the regulations of the Washing
ton correspondents if they would not
assume to know so much and did not
know so many things that are I'M
true.

FOR ARTS SAKE.

Mere technical skill at the piano
did not go very far with the late Ra-
fael Joseffy, says the Literary Digest.
There is a story related by one of his
pupils which touches on that point.
She was playing, as she thought, very
correctly, but the great instructor, so
like a dynamo, seemed like a dynamo
about to burst.
"Get out of here" he stormed, "and
do not return until you have been in
love-"
This particular pupil must have had
temperament" Anyway she managed
the order very expeditiously. Out she
went into the hall and sat down fol
fifteen minutes and thought with con-
centration of her latest love affair
Then she returned to her lesson, and
sat down at the piano.
Joseffy did not speak until she had
finished the nocturne. Then:
"Ah, that is it Never play that
nocturne again without the proper
preparation"

81 AssoCIATEp Press.

Rome, uly 24.-The special COM
mittee of technical experts appointed
to deal with the problems of provid-
ing an adequate supply of ammuni-
ton for the Italian army has just
held its first meeting in Milan. The
committee is modelled after similar
committees in England and France.
1t plans to effect the greatest posi-
bic corporations between the mill
tary authorities and the manufacture
ers of arms and ammunition, to set
tie any questions that may arise with
the least possible delay, and to assist
financially or otherwise manufactur-
ers who wish to adapt their factories
to the making of munitions.
The committee will also advise and
assist in the procuring of special ma
chinery and raw material for manu-
facturers who are just taking up the
production of munitions.
Although the committee has the
sanction of the government, service
upon it is honorary and unpaid.

AMERICAN LEGATION AT
BERNE IS IMPORTANT PLACE

Berne, Switzerland, July 24.-The
American legation here has become
an important diplomatic center. The
American ambassador at Paris and
American consuls in France communi-
cate with their colleagues in Germ
any and Austria through the Ameri-
can legation at Berne. When Italy
entered the war the state department,
which formerly communicated with
Constantinople, Vienna and sometimes
with Berlin through Rome, had this
route cut off and the kilograms are
therefore exchanged through the le-
cation at Berns. The legation also
handles great deal of money for
prisoners-of-war and has the delicate
task of preventing the violations of
neutrality by vigilance in checking
any spies trying to slip through into
belligerent countries with American
passports.
