food regulation board of the empire That the assertion
may be classed campaign material" may
be judged from advces from other sources that Ger
many this year has abundant crops and that tllable
bit of land is being neglected
1t is known too, that Germany is cultivating every
bic of those captured portions of France and Belgium
which are susceptible of raising crops; that many
thousands of cattle, hogs and sheep fattening
the enemies land and that Turkey is to some extent
assisting the German empire with food supplies from
Asia Minor Besides all this, it is matter of belief
that Germany is also drawing supplies from occupied
portions of Russian Poland.
Therefore while there may be shortage of certain
articles of food while beef and milk may continue much
than the empire wishes; while the populace
may be subject certain privaons to the extent of
being obliged plenty of foodsuffs in
place of others which they would prefer, ap
pears that Germany is not to be starved out for
another u months.

think, on the whole, the committee
left Denison with a very favorable i'm.

claimed is to govern in the selection

This committee. after viewing the sew.

the college. will make report to the
general committee at Des Moines,
whep the matter will be disposed of
and a-site selected.
We cherish the hope that Denison
will win in the contest because the
arguments in favor of the city are
conclusive and unanswerable.

novel one and unlike anything ever
held in that city before.

Mr.. Shaw is one Of. the great cam

he goes he gives the highest satisfac-

addresses throughout the middle west

is to speak. We predict that this ad-

Of the city, but from other towns in
the county who will be pleased to hear
the brilliant speaker.
We should mention that the meet

opera house will be in use by other in

suggest that people should keep in
mind that in order to secure good seats
they should be in the opera house not
later than S:45 in the evening.

Moral Standing Commented Upon

A committee representing the col
lege interests of the Baptists of Iowa
visited Denison on Friday morning
with view of canvassing DenisOn as
a suitable place for the location of q
college, which is to be located at
some point in Iowa in the near future.
Not long ago the Baptist colleges at
Pella and Des Moines were consolidate
ed with the understanding that the
assets of the two colleges were to be
combined and q college located at
some point in Iowa to be selected by
a committee representing the Des
Moines and Pella interests. in con.
junction with committee from the
American Baptist association.
These three interests were repre-.
sented by the committee which visit
ed DenisOn on Friday morning. A
committee from the Commercial club,
made up of eight or ten active mem
bers Of the club, met the visiting COM
mittee and took charge Of them on the
arrival Of the early morning train.
Automobiles were provided and con-
siderable time spent in driving about
the city and out to the college grounds
and other points Of interest, after
which the members OF the several COM
mittees returned to the Commercial
club rooms and spent an hour or more
in considering the merits of the prop.
ositions which Denison offers in the,
way of buildings and grounds for 10.
eating the Baptist college.
Our people were told by the commit.
tee that the object was not to secure
money alone and indeed, that was not
to be the chief consideration in gov.
erning the committee in its determi-
nation to locate the prospective col
lege, but that the prime object was to
find location where the largest num-
Der OF people could be accommodated.
Denison seems to offer inducements
growing out of the fact that large
territory. embracing Minnesota. South
Dakota and eastern Nebraska, as we'll
as the state of Iowa. could be accom-.
modated here and no other point IN
Iowa which has been considered OF.

son in these RESPECTS.
