The damage caused by the sleet and

ern and eastern Iowa the night OF
March IL and the following day cost
the Iowa Telephone company more
than SITS. 900, according to state
ment by Vice President and General
Manager w. G. r. Belt.
The sleet storm extended west as
far as Fort Dodge, south to Des
Moines and east to the Mississippi
river. In that territory the telephone
company had more than 1,60O poles
snapped off and over 10000 breaks In
In its long distance wires.
On the night of March IL the mist
began to fall and freeze as it STRUCK
the wires. BY the following morning
the circuits were weighted with ice
nearly an inch thick. This load alone
broke many Of the wires, but with the
rising wind the next day and the fol.
lowing night the poles began to snap
off until so many circuits were down
that it was almost impossible to get a
long distance call through anywhere
in the district covered by the storm.
As soon as It was learned what
damage the sleet was causing. the
telephone company rushed men here
from Minnesota, western Iowa and
Nebraska, and within twenty-fouf
hours hundreds were at work through
out the storm swept area repairing
the damage.

Money The First Essential

When war comes to . nation the
first essential is money! We must
keep our soldiers and sailors armed
and equipped with the best that
money can buy and American skill
devise. We must constantly pro
vide them with necessary clothing
and food; we must pay their wages;
we must as a humane and Just Ma
tion, support their dependent fami-
lies while they are risking and Civ
ing their very lives for us; we must
supply them with reasonable a
mount of life insurance.
The. first duty of the Nation to
it's gallant sons who go forth to die
upon, the field of battle to protect
your lives, your property, and your
honor is that it shall restitute to
them what it destroys when it
drafts them into service of their
country or when they volunteer to
go into the service OF their country
when the Government reaches
out it's hand and takes the young
man who is earning 1920. $500,
$2.4OO, 5000 year, more or less, it
not only says, You must put your
life in the balance and give it, If
need be- but it conscripts that
mans income and earnings power
down to 1896 year, because that is
all it pays to a soldier.
The Nation also destroys the in
suitability of that man. He finds
instantly that no matter how
healthy his sinews, nor how strong
his heart, no matter, how good
risk he would be in peace time, he
can get no insurance. With his
earning power reduced, he is at the
same time unable to make any
sort of insurance provision for those
dependent upon him.
rs it asking too much of the gen.
erous, just, and humane people of
America to restitute also the in.
suitability of that soldier, to give
him the opportunity of buying in
surance from his own Government
at reasonable rates, SO that he may
make the last loving provision that
every man should make for his
family If he has to face death?"-
