involve buying summer goods little

against stocking up and holding over

investment.

PERMANENT ROADS

Almost half million of money re-
, sulting from the payment OF auto IL
censes has been sent to the different
counties, under the law That is about
half of the amount collected for the
period April to Aug. l. The other
half goes into the permanent road
fund to match funds set aside by the
national government for the purpose
of aiding in the construction OF perma-
nent post roads in Iowa. Under this
policy results will be noted. II some
thing of the kind had been in vogue
ever since the auto license fund was
created, there would be much more to
show for the money, than was possible
under the system that has heretofore
prevailed. Between the government
funds and the state auto license
fund, there will be close to a million
Of dollars available for permanent road
work. And that is something that
ought not be overlooked by the en-
thusiasts who are forever complaining
that nothing is being done along the
line of permanent roads in Iowa
LET THE RETIRED FARMER BAT.
Rockwell City Advocated
1t would be interesting to know jus;
how many retired farmers are In
Iowa today. The last decade has wit
messed a widespread movement Of
men from farm to town and city.
Some, it is true. are past the turn in
life when laborious and long contin-
ued effort is possible; but large por-
ton Of those who have retired to mu-
nicipal life are strong, hearty and fully
capable Of making full hand in the
fiel6s.
These men can render valuable first
aid to Iowa this season In her time OF
need. Farming, let it not be forgot
ten Is skilled labor, quite as much as
any other line of endeavor. Iowa needs
skilled farm labor as never before. Il
Is all right to encourage school boys to
go forth in the fields and 10 their
Bit" but it Is not enough. They can
learn and will learn. - But farms can
not be successfullysworked can not be
brought to desirable state Of devel-
opment by people who know nothing
about farming.
1t is the day Of opportunity for the
retired farmer. He knows the work
in all it's details from the terminating
of grain to harvest time. He knows
how to handle farm machinery and
power, whether horse or tractor. A
company of such men Is worth reg
iment Of unskiiled workers.

BEWARE OF FRAUDS ON CHARITY

a lamentable truth that takers, those

so willing to give, who are so anxious
to relieve suffering and distress that
they do not question the integrity OF

Action Taken to Wage Full
Economic War Against
Germany
All Countries Affected
Rules Are Announced; Lists
of Articles and Countries
Are Proclaimed

WASHINGTON. Nov. 2s.-President
Wilson tonight extended to imports
the same measure OF control the gov
eminent since early in the war has
exercised over exports by issuing
proclamation requiring the licensing
of most of the chief import commodi-
ties.
Action was taken under authority OF
the trading with the enemy act, which
gives the Executive power to prescribe
such regulations governing imports as
the public safety requires. Import
licensing will De put ir the hands OF
the War Trade Boord, which, under
authority given the President in the
export control act, issued all licenses
FOR exports.
Assumption Of control over imports
gives the government another power
full weapon, which will be used to its
fullest extent in the economic war on
Germany. 1t adds greatly to Americas
commercial power, already the greatest
of any nation, and puts this country in
a position during the war almost to
direct the trade Of the world. If
minded to use it in that way, the
United States could let it serve as the
heaviest kind Of pressure on neutral
traders suspected Of using American
goods TO supply Germany.
Controlling both exports and i'm
ports, the government is in position,
too, to demand of other nations the
kind of supplies it needs in prosecu-
ton of the war.
One of the chief advantages Of i'm
port control is that it gives the gov
eminent larger measure OF super
vision over shipping. If tonnage vitality
needed for war purposes is being used
to transport to this country commodi-
ties regarded as nonesseLtial the gov
eminent can decline 70 issue import
licenses and thus divert the tonnage
10 essential trades.
The so-called conservation lot of ex-
port commodities, for whose shipment
license is issued except under special
regulations. was increased by Presi-
dent Wilson to-day by the addition Of
a long list of goods including many
kinds of ores, chemical compounds,
iron and steel products. many food
stuffs, surgical instruments and lum-

No Peace Until Teuton Hordes

TORONTO, Nov. 28.-EmphaslSlng
the necessity of unison in the war
against German autocracy and urging
complete obedience TO the laws and de-
.isions made by democratic govern
ments in order that this end may be OBJ
tanned. Samuel Gompers, president oil
the American Federation OF Labor de-
livercd a patriotic address to large
audience here tonight. The meeting
was primarily on behalf of the Victory
Loan campaign, and before closing his
speech Mr.. Gompers appealed for gen.
erous subscriptions.
After a reference to his pacifist lean
ings some years ago and his visions OF
international peace, Mr.. Gompers de-
nounced the German government for
its treachery, stating that the socialist
philosophy which it fostered was
merely a subterfuge and one Of the
means by which it hoped finally to at
tain power. He entertained no hatred
for the German people. but maintained
that their salvation lay in the ultimate
crushing of the militaristic menace
Having entered the war, he said, the
democratic countries must fight until
the Germans have been driven back
into their own territory and differ
ences of politics must be forgotten in
order that victory may be won.
