mo IRISH NEED APPLY"
GDes Moines Capital.1

Years ago there was a song sung
entitled no Irish Need Apply" Just
how it originated or what occasion
there was for It. none Of the present
generation know. But they do know
that whatever fault the Irishman found
with Great Britain, or whatever hate
he treasured in his heart against the
British government, he never sought
to get up rebellion in the United
States. When the Irishman came to
America he came to sta and he be-
came an American citizen at once. In
attaching himself to the United States
by oath, the Irishman did not forget
the ever green isle; he did NOT forget
the lakes of Killarney. He still bore
memories OF the river Shannon. He
never weakened a particle on Old Ire
land. To him. the old sod remained a
dream. He never boosted that lie
came to this country to better the
country. He was willing to admit that
he came to better his own condition.
He never allowed any government on
the other side of the water to cause
him to blow up railroad bridges. depots
and factories. The Irishman blended
e Pluribus Unum with Erin go Bragh.
He found that the two sentiments
blended all right. The Irishman has
been wdllful; has been self-assertive'
but ne has never defied the constitu-
ton and laws. The Irishman has been
an example to other men who come 70

Winter Potato.. BY HON. storas.

Save late Irish potatoes by storing
them in room in the cellar, OF In an
outdoor storage bank or pit.
When stored in cellars, the potatoes
may be put into barrels. boxes, baskets,
crates, bins, or on the floor, but must
be protected from the light.
Select a we'll drained location, make
a shallow excavation about inches
deep, line it with straw, hay, leaves or
similar material, and place the pota-
toes in conical pile on the lining.
Make the bottom of the pile about the
same size as. but not larger than, the
bottom of the excavation.
Cover the potatoes with the same
material as that used for lining the
bottom of the pit and carry it up sew
eral inches above the apex of the pile
of vegetables, having 1t extend thru the
dirt covering. This serves as venti-
Iating fue. and it should be covered
with piece of tin or short board as
protection from rain.
The dirt covering should be two or
three inches thick when the vegetables
are stored. and it should be Increased
as severely cold weather approaches
or sufficient to protect from freezing.
In finishing the pit, the dirt should pc
firmed with the back of the shovel IN
order to make it as nearly waterproof
as possible.
The shallow trench around the base
of the pit should have an outlet Tor
carrying off the water. Supplement
the dirt covering with manure, straw
corn fodder, or other protective mater
ial Use several small pits instead Oh
one large one. as vegetables keep bet
ter in small pits, and the entire con-
tents can be removed when the pit Is
opened.

TEN ACRES OF WHEAT.

Ten acres on each farm for wheat
is the slogan of Governor Harding and
is backed up strongly by the Greater
Iowa association in its matter fur
nished the press.
The suggestion should be. given hon
est attention by every farmer.
There's a reason. The shortage in
wheat is already known. Wheat is
short in this country and in other
wheat producing countries by reason OF
short crops. war and the destruction of
wheat supplies en- route abroad. And
the one food that the world knows,
Graves and insists upon having is
wheat. The Caucasian is wheat eater.
Bread is the staff of life.
In Iowa we raise corn and feed it to
meat producing animals. We shall
certainly not fail of our corn acreage.
We plant corn without being urged.
There is no danger of a lack of corn.
But shortage of wheat is certain. We
need the wheat for our fighting men.
1t is the one grain that can be made
into bread and biscuit that can be kept
Indefinitely. We must have it. There 5
a reason why every Iowa farm is be-
ing asked to put ten acres in wheat
Perhaps the ten-acre wheat field will
not return as much as the same area
in corn: but farm returns are beyond
computation as they are. The vast
sums that are to inure to the farms
are beyond common comprehension.
Then why not ten-acre patch pri-
rarily devoted to wheat as contribu-
ton to the necessities of the war?
1t isn't a question precisely as to
whether theswheat or the corn and the
hogs shall pay best on that ten acres.
It's question of wheat supply.
Arrange to plant the ten acres in
wheat. At the prices for that cereal
nobody can lose. And We need the
wheat to win with.

e.
The pioneers had no coal And they
had way Of helping themselves. They
knew how to help themselves. At
times. it may have been hard scratch
ing but they always pulled thru and
they were rather proud OF the fact that
they knew how to help themselves.
The new generation knows nothing
Of the hardships that the pioneers
weathered and in which they actually
sloried. and evidently they have for
gotten how to help themselves Other
wise they would have undertaken
something, would have found some
way of protecting and insuring them
selves against the danger Of the coal
famine which Is ever with them.
1t appears to the looker-on that
the states that have no coal, shouold
have devoted much attention to for
estry. and should be growing fuel Per
haps the belief has been to the present
that they could not afford anything Of
the kind. 1t has only quite recently
dawned upon many Americans that we
are immensely wealthy. and that we
can afford anything that we really
need.
And it appears as II there were no
other thing that the northwest needed
so urgently as protection agains fuel

ENHANCING PRICE OF DOLLARS.
-. fSiouX City Tribune1

The prime purpose Of the food con-
troll bill is to make a dollar worth more
than it has ben worth. 1t was imma-
terial how many dollars man received
in wage. before he could spend it the
store keeper had increased the price
Of his goods SO that the buyer obtained
less for it than he had before received.
1t is Mr. Hoover's job to boost the
value of dollar, until those who earn
dollars can live on them.
It is mans size job all right. but
he has more chance to do it than by
making the dollar cheaper. which was
favorite plan few years ago.
