IOWA SCHOOLS IN
NEED OF TEACHERS
At Opening Of Fall Term on Monday
Several Districts Were Short
of Teachers.
IOWA EMPLOYS $4,000
| TEACHERS IN PUBLIC SCHOOLS
Fifty Consolidated Districts Have
Been Added to List During Past
Six Months.

When the schools of Iowa opened
Monday for the 1851 term, some
of the districts were without teach
|ers. Appeals for help have been re-
ceived by the superintendent of pub
lie instruction from a number of
counties.
O'Brien and Osceola counties re-
port a shortage of teachers. Some
of the schools in those two sections
could not be opened until later, ow-
ing to the lack of instructors. A
number Of other counties have ask
ed the state officials to aid them in
securing teachers. They were re-
ferred to a county in Indiana which
reported more instructors than could
find work in Indiana.
The school year in the rural dis
tricts and in most of the cities and
towns of the state began Monday.
Labor day is not observed as rule
except in the larger cities of the
state, and therefore it is not holt
day in the smaller communities and
does not interfere with the opening
of the schools.
There are POI consolidated schools
which started out the new school
year Monday. This is an increase OF
fifty in the last six months. The
growth Of the consolidated idea has
been gratifying TO the state officials
AS the number of schools increases,
the general movement is speeded up.
1t is expected there will be a greater
number of new districts formed IN
the next six months than in the per-
iod just closed.
Iowa employs nearly $1,000 teach
ers in the public schools. The eff
| ficiency of the teaching force has
been improved each year. However,
for the last two years there has been
shortage of instructors at the be-
ginning of the year. Special exam
nations have been ordered to be held
in some of the counties where there
are applicants for teachers certifi-
Gates, and in which there, are vacan-
cies to be filed.

HIGH FOOD PRICES.
Staples Are Jumping on the Produce
Exchanges.

The government crop report issu-
ed few days ago is ominous in it's
suggestions as TO prices of food sta
pies. Staples are jumping on the
produce exchanges, and the poor
man will be squeezed before another
spring.
The abundant crops of the past few
years had no appreciable effect to
lower prices. The surplus was TAX
en- by fighting Europe. Europe is still
bidding high for cereals and there is
a shortage of production here. L.
may reasonably be expected that
wheat and corn products will go to
the highest figures ever known.
The injury to the corn crop makes
the cost Of feeding hogs high. Pork
and bacon, the poor mans friends,
will again be away up. Beef already
sells at nearly prohib!tive prices for
working people.
Or course the country as a whole
is prosperous. Millions of working
people have had their wages raised
in late years. But it is not enough
that they should be able barely to
meet expenses. A family life is not
securely established unless it has a
Lank account and constant margin
between income and outgo.
The pinch comes in host of fam
lilies that are suffering from some
form OF misfortune. In many the
bread winner is the victim of acct
cent or disease. In others drunken
ess and other vices have sapped
the earning power, leaving wives and
children to shift for themselves. In
all such homes the rising cost of food
products means q lack of nutritious
food.
1t is time for small economies
and the teaching of intelligent meth l.
eds of food preparation. 1t is often
remarked that a French family
would live on what an American
household throws away. Teaching a
poor family how to get the most
nourishment out of given supply Of
foods is a better form of charity than
giving money outright.

FEDERAL HUNTING LAW.
The New Law Defers Beginning OF
Water Fowl Open Season.

Hunters who planned and were up
with the sun Friday for the begin
ming Of the state open season On mi
gratory birds, violated a federal law
if they shot ducks or other water
fowl or marsh birds. The new feder-
al law protects migratory birds fif-
teen days longer in the zone which
includes Iowa.
The new federal law was signed
by the president on Aug. 81, and be-
came effective on that date. The
idea of extending the open season il
the northern states is to prevent the
slaughter SO early of young ducks
raised along the rivers, bayous, and
lakes of those states.
About the lakes and marshes of
the northern states many young
ducks are Matched and raised. The
department of agriculture, which
has been responsible for the federal
migratory bird law, believes that
Sept. l is too early to permit the
shooting of ducks and other migra-
tory fowl, and for that reason has
set ahead the open season in the
northern states. The date of the open
season for Iowa, Illinois, Kansas,
Nebraska, Michigan, Kentucky, Ohio,
and Indiana has been fixed at Sept.
| 16, and the season closes Dec. 81. In
Wisconsin, Minnesota, North and
South Dakota, Montana, Idaho, wy
oming and Colorado, the season
opens on Sept. Z, and closes Dec. 20.
Throughout the entire country a
two years closed season has been
placed on band tail pigeons, cranes
wood ducks, swans, curlew, willie
and upland plover. Jacksnipe are
placed in the same class with ducks
and can not be shot until Sept. 16.
In outlining the law the depart
ment OF agriculture calls particular
attention to any provision which
may conflict with the laws of the
various states, in that the federal
law might declare open a season al,
ready closed by state law. In this
event the state law is to govern
But in cases where the federal law
declares closed a season scheduled as
Iopen by any state, as is the case in
Iowa, the federal law governs.
Consequently, if hunters do not
want to get into trouble with Uncle
Samuel, put the guns away until the
morning of Saturday, Sept. 16.

High Priced Automobiles.

Makers of high priced American
automobiles are meeting a new kind
of competition from abroad. This is
in the form of secondhand cars of
foreign make which are being i'm
ported here in big numbers. One
English and one French dealer on
automobile row are said to have a
virtual monopoly Of this foreign
business. When the war stopped
these two men canvassed Europe for
high-priced European cars. They
paid good prices and holders were
willing to let them go. One well
known car of English make, which
sells for about $4,000 in England
when new, was brought over recently
and sold to an American for $4,000.
Investigation showed that this car
had been in operation since 1911.
New cars of foreign make can not
be obtained now at any price and
this has stimulated the business In
secondhand cars. In this business,
automobile men say, the vanity of
rich Americans must be satisfied even
If eXorbitant prices are demanded by
the secondhand dealers.
