Further, he cries the oft repeat ed fact that when land is broken in fall or V. inter there is time for it to firm down by planting sea son. It is a well established fact that neither cotton nor any other crop does well on a loose seed bed. The very surface must be we'll worked and fine at time of planting to permit soil particles to come in close contact with the seed and the soil below must be firm, not hard, to make the young plant come up quickly and grow rapidly. Corn, wheat, oats, alfalfa, and all other grain, hay. or pasture crops should be sown on a firm, not hard. seed bed. Flow as much land now as possible if you expect them to grow off rapidly.

Champ Clark on Food Prices

Speaker Clark has taken his turn at the high cost of living It is his right, since it is the chief topic of discussion in the country topic that for the time being has overshadowed the sub marine warfare, woman's sui frage, national prohibition or the eight hour law.
 And the speaker declares that initiative can do much, which is true. Even the poor of the country are wasteful. The rich are scandalously SO The housewife of old knew how to avoid waste; the housewife of to day buys extrayagantly and manages wastefully.
 On this Thanksgiving day there was enough food wasted in America to feed the German em- pire luxuriously for a single day.
 Champ Clark says: Buy some laying hens and eat more corn products and rice" Pass up the hen suggestion. Buying laying hens at this time of the year is easier said than done.
 MBut corn products and rice constitute a food supply which the American people do not ap. preciate. Corn is as versatile as wheat, Tn the matter of supply ing the table with food. The trouble is. the old time art of pairing corn foods is about lost.
 Corn meal mush. corn mullins, hoe cake, egg bread, corn meal griddle cakes and even genuine corn dodger can't be beat. The trouble Is that the old negro cooks of the south have about passed away and the new gener- ation has permitted a rare art to lapse into decay.
 Give Mexico plenty of corn and the price of wheat would never disturb the serenity of the people of that unhappy republic.
 And rice? The Post published Sunday forty recipes of rice dishes. most of them worth while.
 The evil of high prices can be greatly mitigated by first class management in the home, but the trouble IS too many homes have hauled down their standard in favor of boarding house and
 
 restaurant life. There is too much kitchen en-sidestepping ev- erywhere. A rehabihtated and rejuvinated home life in the Uni ted States would knock the high ost of living full of holes.
 Admittedly the situation is bad. There is something wrong with the distributing end of ii but there is also something wrong with the individual end ot it, and it is rroper for the indi. vidual to understand that much of the trouble so far as he is con,

NOT ALL |: ON 4 ACCOUNT
Of THE 5. SHORT ] SKIRT
Webster City Dealers Say Many
Things Tend to Increase Cost
+ of Shoes.

According to information furnish
ed by Webster City shoe dealers,
there. are many things beside the
short skirt which tends to increase
the cost of shoes. The generally re-
ported scarcity of leather and in
creased cost Of tanning since the
war, combined with an enormously
increased demand for leather, all ac-
count for the advanced cost of foot
wear. -@.r .5.,. ~
Millions of pairs of shoes for the
European armies have been and still
are being made by American shoe
manufacturers On the average
these army shoes consume one and
one-half as. much leather as the av.
erage American mans shoe. KNAPP.
sacks, saddles, harnesses and other
material for the armies at war and
a general increase in equipment Of
the American army and state militia
account for still further demand
on the none too large supply OF
y ather. Munitions plants have call
d for thousands of feet of leather
betting and the general picking UP
of business has started thousands OF
factories wheels and greatly aug
mented the call for betting. 4
Autos have also made great and
Increasing inroads into the available
leather supply for upholstering.
Leather is a by-product. The supply
cannot be Increased at well as crops
and metals are, but is dependent on
the hide supply; and cattle are not
Killed, primarily, for their hides;
The latest census reports show
that the cattle population has de-
creased 20 per cent in the last ten
years, and the population has in
creased the same percentage.
Shoes, therefore, are to be more
expensive 1t is said that the in
crease for the present will besabout
20 per cent, hut will likely be more
by next fall. -
