BUILD A siLo NOW.

Last nights frosts. on low ground
and in spots over the state, are by
way of warning TO the farmer who has
not yet erected Silo. 1t is pretty well
settled that the best corn on the low
lands will have to meet fortunate
like fair crop of fairly respectable
corn and much of the crop on the low
er levels is TO be soft and short. Even
the upland fields are in serious danger
OF early frost.
The difference between silo room
for the delayed corn on the low field
is the difference between several tons
of good feed 10 the acre and field OF
dry stalks that wouldn't sell at a dol
lar an acre with the nuhbins on the
stalks. For there are many low helds
where the nubbins will be as scarce
as law abiding citizens In Georgia. II
is the difference between the green
stalk With the nutritious juices re-
tained and the dead stalk in the field.
In short the difference between dol
lar bill and jitney.
II doesn't take long to build a silo.
There should be thousands of them
built within the next two weeks. They
are the best protection an Iowa farmer
can make against a bad season. And
protection of the corn crop is protec-
tion OF the prosperity OF the state.
Especially in northern, central and
western Iowa the silos should null
tiply this year. The crop isn't an Iowa
crop this season. The sections that al
ways have corn and lots Of corn face
a very serious possibility.
Why not play safe, or at least as
safe as can be- Why not save all
that can be saved? Why not build
silo now?

Dor during the crop season and not in
tended as a rest period. His views are
in harmony with the idea expressed by
many educators to the effect that sum-
mer schools for children are a decided
advantage.
Yet this new theory Is not new.
Moreover. it has been used continu-
ously for almost two generations. In
the Amana colonies in Iowa county the
children between the ages OF and IA
go to school six days week and fifty
two weeks year. Perhaps nowhere in
the world are to be found children less
troubled with nervous disorder and ov-
erstrain than in the Amana villages.
But the all-year school there does
not mean a crowded school life for the
children. The day is divided into three
periods. one for study, one for play.
and one for work in the garden OK
house at some form of manual training.
Thus it is that the Amana children
have as much play time as the other
Iowa children, but they enjoy 1t every
day in small periods and not In three
months of idleness during the summer.
II the Sio < City school superinten-
dent secures the adoption OF his plan
in Iowa, we will be merely following
the example of very old settlement
of very good people in this state.
And If his idea proves as successful
elsewhere as it has in the Amana viii
lagos il vii, skew that the modern long
school vacation is device for going
backward in school methods.

something to do with this result, no
such influence can account for the fall
in price Of Canadian per cent stock
from LOT in 1896 to 50 in 1914, altho
redeemable at par in 1888. Hence the
question Is germane to tho fnal out
look Of the price for capital as ex-
pressed by the yield Of typical gilt
edged English railroad security. what
will 1t be in 1915, or whatever later
date may see the end OF the war! The
author OF the article in the Edinburgh
Review" says that 1t 10 difficult to find
an economist in these days who FORE
sees cheap capital after the war. and
that this view is commonly indorsed
by investors who will not as q rule
look at any security unless it Is def
inttely repayable at q certain date,
which must not be too remote. This
preference Is based on the view that
capital is going to be dear. q consider
alton which makes the investor shy Of
placing his money except in stock
that promises to pay 1t back again. and
50 give him the chance OF reinvesting
on the more favorable terms that he
foresees later on. A stock, like Con-
soils. which carries no obligation OF
repayment. Is hence out Of favor. be-
cause II the expected rise in the rate
OF interest earned on capital comes to
pass the only thing that can happen
to such a stock is to fall in price.

Cotton as contraband.

In finally declaring cotton a contra
band of war, Great Britain has re-
yersed herself The precedent was es-
tablished by Russia in April, 1905,
when it added raw cotton to its prev
iously declared list of contraband. Civ
ing as its reason that raw cotton was
used in the manufacture Of explosives,
and that as ii was impossible to dis
tinguish between cotton imported for
the one purpose and that imported for
the other. it was necessary to prohibit
its importation altogether" To this
Great Britain entered strong protest.
arguing that "the quantity Of raw cot
ton that might be utilized for ex-
plosives would be infinitesimal in COM
parison with the bulk of the cotton ex-
ported from India to japan for peace
full purposes, and to treat harmless
cargoes Of this latter description as
Internationally contraband would be
to subject a branch of innocent COM
merce to a most unwarrantdbie inter-
ference"
The American government, in Its
protest against the British action can
hardly do better than to quote these
words out of the mouth OF his majes-
TVS ambassador to st. Petersburg.
The conditions are practically identi-
cal. Russia wanted to keep cotton out
Of Japan: England wants to keep 1t
out of Germany But with England
the shoe is now on the other foot. and
she will probably have as much regard
for our protest as Russia had for hers
ten years ago.
What effect the contraband order
will have upon the American cotton
trade is a matter of controversy among
cotton experts. 1t will, of course. have
no effect on the staple consigned to the
allies or to neutral countries, for a
hostile destination is an essential prin-
ciple of the lows Of contraband. But
Britain may hold up neutral consign-
ments on the theory that their ulti-
mate destination is the enemy, and IL
she can find sufficient evidence to sup
port that view may confiscate them.
The contraband declaration, in short,
gives her somewhat larger police pow
ers and increases the risk of shipments
designed for German consumption.-St.
Louis Globe Democrat.
