PENRoSE WANTS FACTS.
Senator Would Investigate Creel and
His Wordy Embellishments.


Washington July Ex-senator Pen
rose. of Pennsylvania, introduced a
resolution asking for an investigation
Of the bureau Of public information.
of which George Creel is the head.
Mr.. Penrose said he greatly desired
to know about the stirring fight in
which United States naval forces rout-
ed a feet of German submarines on
their way to France with the Pershing
troops.
Il am led to offer this resolution"
Mr.. Penrose said, because Of the
criticisms from all parts Of the coun-
try OF the activity of Mr.. CreeHs
bureau, particularly with reference to
the Fourth of July story, about the al
legged engagements of Americas de-
stroyers with German submarines
while conveying the American trans
ports to France"
Senator Penrose read from news
paper clipping in which it was stated
that no such engagements had trans-
pired, according to the Associated
Press correspondent with the expedi-
Geaves, In charge Of the destroyers,
had reported no such engagements.
This mystery ought to be cleared
up" Senator Penrose said.
The Penrose resolution calls upon
the secretary Of the navy to send to
the senate copies of all official dis
patches relating to the naval expedi- :
ton, including those Of Rear Admiral
Geaves. 1t also asks for the names
of all the persons employed in the in
formation bureau, their salaries and
their duties. and for press censorship
rules that may have been adopted
Senator Penrose asked that the
resolution lie over until today.

ABOUT WINE DRINKING.
Vance Thompson, Who Knows Whereof
He Speaks, Has This to Say:

The greater part of my life have
lived in wine countries. Always one
remembers the best Of life; the dirty
and tragic parts slip out Of mind. And
so with the wine lands. Go to the
real facts Of life. Danish the haze of
poetic fancy, and what you see is not
the cannikin- blinking merriment of
comic opera, but sadder, drearier way
of life.
I am speaking of lands where the
grapes grow. where wine is natural.
pure and cheap" It is there at its
best. The alcohol, always poison, is.
in it's least harmful form. concealed in
the beneficent juice of the grape-hid-
den in suavity and perfume. And what

mata of alcoholic penalties.

He who makes this statement speaks
out of deep ignorance. He has never

wandered over the wide roads Of Italy.
You do not, l admit, see SO wild and

southern drinker, making up in guam

strength of his beverage, reaches the
same stage of physical impairment. be-
gets the same poisoned offspring, dies
in the same kind of alcoholic dissolu-
ton to use the technical phrase. His
moral corruption, as his physical de-
generation, is slower in its progress,
but statistics might be piled hospital
high to show it reaches the sane end.

twenty years the growth of the alcohol

those years the drinking of absinthe
alone rose from an annual consumption
of 100000 gallons to over 100000

gerous deterioration, turned from the
slow poison of wine to the fiercer and

FEDERAL LOAN BOARD ...
GETS GREAT SURPRISE
Hawkeye State Expected to Be Among

of Iowa Not in Need of Assistance
Might Loan to Government.

Washington, July 1o.-The federal
farm loan board in Washington Is very
much excited. When it was decided
by congress to lend national money to
the poor, struggling farmers" Of the
United States. Of course Iowa, was ex-
pected to borrow Its full share.
But these gentlemen were destined
to be greatly surprised.
The first report Of the federal farm
loan board up to and including July l,
shows that every state in the union
has borrowed some money from the
federal loan board-that IS every state
except Iowa
The farmers Of Illinois have bor-
rowed S250,5S0 within the past few
months or since the federal farm loan
board has been in operation. Indiana
has borrowed practically half million
dollars and Wisconsin, Michigan and
all of the other agricultural states have
borrowed on up to as much as $780,
600, which was loaned to the farmers
of Texas. California borrowed a mil
lion dollars and Oklahoma a million.
two. hundred thousand dollars.
& And Iowa borrowed nothing at all.
When the federal farm loan board
held It's first meeting in Iowa about six
months ago, it's members were enter
tanned by the Greater Iowa Associa-
ton. During the course Of the meet
ing Colonel French. president OF the
association, told the distinguished
visitors that while We would extend
every courtesy to them in Iowa, at the
same time he was quite sure that II
the national government had sent a
commission out here to Iowa to borrow
money from the Iowa farmer for the
national government they would make
better progress than II they came out
here Offering to loan to the Iowa farm
er money from the federal treasury.
This remark was greeted quite gen.
orally by laugh from those present
but It begins to appear that Colonel
French knew what he was talking
about.
When It comes to being absolutely
solvent, Iowa Is in q class by herself,
When an Iowa farmer wants to Dor
row money he usually borrows it from
the local bank. And incidentally this
same Iowa farmer usually Is a stock
holder in the bank from which he
borows his money.
