DID CLARK TELL The TRUTH

Champ Clark speaking from the
chautauqua platform or firing the
hearts of Bowling Green, No, to vote
the democratic ticket early and often
is one person and Speaker Clark giving
oupt an interview in Oklahoma Ciss
before making a Liberty day speech
there is another. In either case he
may be expected to back up his state
ments with fact when he accuses any
combination or class of attempting to
make the Liberty Loan a failure
Speaker Clark is quoted as having
stated that ring of New York finan-
ciers were hampering the government
IN the campaign endeavotring to make
it partial failure sac that the next
loan would bear higher interest. Con-
tinuing as quoted he said:
These men are the spiritual descend
ants of the ring that operated in just
such an emergency during the civil
war. and by their methods forced the
price Of war bonds 10 30 and so and
one day to SO. 1t Is the duty off every
citizen to make this loan a success in
spite of these New York traitors. |!
positively refuse to divulge the source
from which obtained the information
upon which l make this accusation.
Secretary McAdoo made especial re-
quest that any interference with the
bond sales should be directly reported
to him. That request was spread wide
by the press. 1t cowed many a little
knocker into quietude. Interference
with Is a crime in law and by patri-
otIc Interpretation traitorous against
this country.
The statements made by Speaker
Clark In Oklahoma City are respect
fully put up to Secretary McAdoo as
handy information. Also to the con-
gress Of the United States for inquiry
and investigation. Also the attorney
general of the presidents cabinet and
the district attorney of New York II
such a gang exists as Speaker Clark
assured does exist 1t Is more dangerous
than a German army corps. Its mem
bers belong in prisons and before Ar
ing squad or in the hands of hang
men.
If Speaker Clark Is in possession Of
facts warranting such direct charges
as those made in that interview why
dose lie conceal it from the govern
ment; or If the government is fully in
formed as Speaker Clark appears to
be why should it frighten small fish
and permit sharks full liberty? And
If it isn't true why not touch Champ
up?
1t seems to be up to Speaker Clark
and the administration Of which he Is
a partisan part.

Billy Bunny and His Friends

Jump UP beside me" said the kind-
hearted old dog, and away they WENT
rattlety bang over the stones and the
rough places, and guess some Of the
stamps nearly came on the letters in
the canvass mail bag.
'Prsbty rough going. ehf" said the
old dos, and he took his pipe from his
mouth and knocked the ashes out Of
the bowl, and then he put it in his
pocket, for ne didn't want to smoke
any more Just then.

bit. ITS not ~ easy - Uncle Lucky's

Ard just then, Ill Of q sudden, a big
horse fly stunS one OF the billy goats

angry that he stood up on his hind
legs and tried to butt.

1--WE get very good food at some OF
the farm houses. In fact, It seems
quite too bad that common farmers
should have such an abundance, when
city people have to pay so much for
what they eat. I told some Of these
farmers that they should not eat pota-
toes while they are so high. ! also
found farmers wifes quite extravagant
with milk and cream. They use cream
in coffee and upon berries and fruit.
Some of them even feed milk to calves
and pigs. Some Of the women use but
ter in cooking, and even fry potatoes
In butter. They will not be allowed to
do that long. however, for have d.
rected that hereafter they use lard for
cooking grease. Many object to 80 d.
ing because lard costs them 80 cents
a pound at the store. and the same
storekeeper pays only "a cents a
pound for butter; but told them
that the farmer Is not to consider dol
lars and cents, bue the requirements OF
people in the city.
Tt has rained most all the week.
and many farmers have taken the
weather as an excuse for keeping out
OF the fields. I succeeded IN driving q
few Of them out. altho they claimed
that It would damage both lands ana

that II will take continued and per-

SEEKING A Stacker LAW. ,
KNOXVILLE .Journal1

The need for some legal method OF
drafting wealth into the military SER
wise of the nation just as the men are
drafted IS becoming more and more
apparent In every township and prac-
,tically every neighborhood there are
one or more men who are refusing TO
do their share in the matter Of buying
bonds In many instances they are the
wealthiest men in the community.
Their refusal to carry their fair share
of the burden discourages and en-
bitters the people of smaller means.
The Journal believes that such men
should be compelled to do their duty.
The government compels the man OF
military age to accept service In the
army It should compel the man with
large means or small to buy bonds in
ratio to his ability.

IOWA OPINION AND NorEs.

Government Harding Ii not going
to call q special session Of the legis-
lature to repeal the prohibitory stat
term" explains the Waterloo Times-
Tribune,
1T appears that the vets will vote
for a wet, regardless Of party. II this
is SO, and the vets are half Of all the
voters, then either party can win with
a wet candidate as against dry cam
didate in the other party. because
many Of the drys in either party viii!
stick to their party candidates for
party reasons" says the Jefferson Bee.
I'm other words, the vets put the wet
issue above party. but the drys do not;
and this being the case, the outlook for
a dry candidate for governor is not
very promising"
Governor Harding also missed his
guess. He, too, thought the temper
ance issue was forever settled in Iowa,
but it isn't by a jug full says the
Coon Rapids Enterprise.
I'VE are not as old as a certain man
in the bible who got to be around 900
before he cashed in" says the Mount
Pleasant Press, but we have lived long
enough to know that not all men tell
the world how they vote. especially on
the booze question"
The Denison Bulletin says the result
Of the amendment election proves that
while all men do not vote as they talk,
many OF them will in secret vote as
they drink. The Bulletin adds that the
prohibitory amendment would not have
been submitted If all the members OF
the general assembly had voted in the
legislature as they drink.
The Humboldt Independent suggests:
And when 1t Is all said and done.
would it not be a good thing to let the
government take a look at the tax re-
ceipts and the incomes and apportion
the bonds where they belong? That
is. why not conscript, wealth just as the
soldiers were conscripted7 1t Is the
only fair way"

ALONG THE HIGHWAY.


Some OF the solicitors for the sale of
government bonds who were out along
the highways and by-ways the last Of
the week. in the country. had some
queer experiences in endeavoring to
persuade some Of the farmers to buy 1t
develops that there are more tenants
Of farms In this section that is COM
monty credited; for instance, on one
side Of the road for distance Of half
dozen miles. where one Of the ten COM
mittees canvassed, there was but one
farmer who worked his own land: the
owners had gone into retirement-and
this suggests the thought. why not
solicit for the sale Of bonds among the
retired; they have a sufficiency OF the
worlds goods, and the fact of their re-
tirement is prima facie evidence.
One young farmer who has thousand
dollars to raise by the first OF the year
to pay his rent and who has been
sick for nearly two years, saw the gilt
ter Of life sufficiently to subscribe for
one bond. Another who was approached
could not be persuaded. altho he ad-
mitted that he had $1,000 In "a bank"
but was holding II to pay his part Of
drainage ditch that wouldn't do him
dollars worth Of good" according to
the story. Another renter with a more
cheerful note-he too had a thousand
dollars to raise; he was obliged to
keep out some feed for the chickens
and the chickens had quit laying eggs.
Must be German chickens on the side
OF the kaiser, and should be ded
forthwith. yes II my chickens would
start laying eggs. could take a bond"
he said. The renters who were solicit
ed were all from Germany or Of Ger
man descent and there was not one re-
fusal to buy one or two and further
promise OF doubling the purchase.

TowA's PROSPEROUS FARMERS.
fSioux City Tribune.1
Louis Murphy, internal revenue coll
lector for Iowa, in an authorized in
terview, says that agents from his
Office have uncovered 5000 farmers
subject to the income tax law, and
that his office has collected from them
approximately $4,000 in taxes and
penalties. He expects to unearth 5000
more and to cause them to disgorge
about the same amount pro rata, thus
bringing the total collection up to in
the neighborhood of three quarters of
million dollars. -
This is quite a handsome sum and Is
a slight indication of the prosperity of
the Iowa farmers, for, bear in mind,
thousands of Others had already paid.
Again. bear In mind, this tax is taken
largely from those with incomes, in ex-
cess Of $4,000. Next year the incomes
in excess of $4,000 will be caught. 1t is
probable then the returns from the far
mers Will be double because SO many
more will be liable.
1t has been known for some years
that the farmers of Iowa were pres
porous, but just how prosperous there
has been no means of ascert3ining
definitely. With Uncle Sam actually
or the trau for needed revenue. it is
possible we may at last gain some
idea Of the wealth the farmers have
actually accumulated and learn they
are not the poor, down trodden crea-
lures they have led their city brethren
to believe they are.

MERCANTILE COOPERATION.

A cooperative mercantile company

in the hope OF reducing the high cost Of
of living. Tn capital stock Is $4,000.
Thirty or more years ago. when the
Grange was in its glory, cooperative
stores were organized In many towns
of the state. Many offthem were short
lived and there are probably but very
few OF the enterprise alive now that
were started in those days. But in
recent years cooperative stores and
