SPRING MUD.

Spring brings the wet and helpful
rains the cioudburst and the food;
and then the broad and fertile plains
are plastered thick with mud. We
journey forth from our abodes, i'll
wagon. boat or cart, ana we gel stuck
In muddy roads, which breaks the
human heart. We spend about ten
million bucks each wear to AK the
pike. and in the springtime only ducks
along the same can hike. The farmer
stays away from town and doesn't blow
his scads, so we And commerce sag
cling down in all our western grads.
The autos are no longer run, dead are
their wonted fires: so worthy dealers
take no mon for gasoiene or tires. All
trade in grim stagnation stands: It's
this way everywhere: and merchant
princes wiring their hands, and rend
their robes and swear. The roads are
just long streaks of mud. warning
and a fright, and with the old accus-
toned thud the mules sink out OF sight.
We spend some forty million bones,
each year. TO fix the pike; go forth, l
say. in thunder tones. and see what
they are like. Go forth when tides are
ebbing low. survey the dismal scene;
and II you're wise. when forth you go,
you'll use a submarine.

farmers are half the people Of state
like Iowa But, then, the farmers are
get around TO the bond matter after
awhile. And why shouldn't they loan
money to the United States for the
conduct of this war? A United tSates
bond is the best investment on earth.
1t Is better than the earth itself just
now because Il IS backed by govern
ment that can tax the earth, its crops
and even it's farmers until the bond
is paid. Nothing but defeat in war
could make the bond unsound and de-
feat for Uncle Sam in this war would
make the American farmers part OF
the earth poor piece of property it
sell.
Furthermore, there is money in 1t for
the farmer to loan to the United States
at 31z per cent interest with full ex-
emption from half Of one per cent
taxes on other kinds Of credits. The
average farmer In Iowa raises forty
acres Of corn. II it goes seventy BUSH
els to the acre he will have $500 bush
els. It IS worth today IS cents per
bushel more than 1t was last year. II
this war profit lasts until his crop goes
to market he will have $500 more

A NEEDLESS WORRY.

The Marshalltown Times Republican
has fallen from grace. 1t is advertising
a Milwaukee, made substitute for beer
that looks like beer. smells like beer
and tastes like beer"-but But in
Buena Vista county they have stopped
the sale of such beverages because they
contain one-tenth of one per cent al
cohol The T.-R will get in bad with
the Holy Trinity of Iowa newspapers
if it does not be careful Of its adver-
Using columns--Manson Democrat.
The T.-R- has no excuses to offer for
advertising a temperance drink, one
which tastes like beer. smells like and
! looks like it and stops right there. The
main and only quarrel the T.-R- has
had with intoxicating liquors is that
| they are Intoxicating. When the alco-
rel is over.
Beer without alcohol in ii has as
much right to respectable consideration
as other soft drinks. It was the alcohol
that made the trouble. poverty. crime.
| Whenever the Democrat brings evi-
dence Of wife murder starvation. debt,
disease and general destruction of men
against the non alcoholic beer whether
it is root beer or ginger ale or the
product that looks and tastes like the
original family destroyer but has been
dehorned the T.-R. will not only deny It
space for advertising but take off It's
coat and help do to It what it helped
TO the stuff that made the children
wear old clothes and go without shoes
and beat the grocer out Of his pay.
Another thing-when the sale Of
non intoxicating beer is general as that
| Of root beer and the like the so-called
near beer saloon Will not be able to
| exist-which is a contamination de-
voutIy to pc wished-for these imita-
tons Of the old time doggeries are
neither necessary nor a part of the
city beautiful

as it pleases. so long as it stays nom

non alcoholic beer in the celebrated
baseent on that occasion made motor

paign nobody would have heard Of the
indicident and nobody would have paid
any attention to 1t if he had.

BOY AND GIRL FOOlISRNsSS.

The arrest of students in eastern col
leges, charged with conspiracy to de-
feat the selective Consumption and the
statement made in the news reports
that an Iowa educational institution
IS named as having, students who hold
membership in the league which is
| charged with making plans against the
peace and dignity of the United States
and conspiring TO induce divers per-
sons whose names are unknown" to re-
fuse to register next Tuesday, is the
more astonishing because the colleges
have led as colleges always do in en-
listments and practical patriotism.
However this alleged conspiracy,
while it annoys and disgusts us with
the youth involved in it need bring no
alarm. II is probably a bunch OF school
boys and siris theorizins and seeking to
pose as leaders and perhaps contem-
plating a mock martyrdom. That they
should be incontinently spanked by
the government is proper and needful.
Say to them that it hurts us worse
than it hurts them and firmly apply
the ancient remedy. These children
OF a larger growth will think different
y after the slipper. Children always
do
And if any divers persons" have in
mind refusal to register as commanded
and required the sooner they put that
0ut Of mind the better for them and
all OF us. For the Stacker on June )
and the other Stacker who opposes the
CONSUMPTION will sup sorrow He is
merely sweeping back the ocean with
broom. Forget the foolishness and get
in line. 1t is at once the patriotic
thing 70 do and the only thing to do
whether inspired by patriotism or fear
of consequences. For there will be
consequences and plenty Of them fol-
lowing failure or refusal
In the meantime spank the young
idiots who imagine they are cutting an
intellectual and political swath when
they are merely acting foolish.

profit in corn than he had last year.
$4,000 more than when corn sold for
so cents.
The average farmer can split his war
profit on corn hfty-fifty with Uncle
Sam and take Sans note for the gov
ernments share if he loans $1,000 on
government bonds. He will then have
left $1,000 more in cash than he ever
made before on corn and he will have
the bonds besides. If every farmer in
Iowa would loan $1,000 to Uncle Sam
the farmers alone would take $211,000.-
900 whereas Iowa has been asked to
take only $46,000.000. We raised S77,-
O00, 900 bushels of corn last year? If
the market stays up our farmers will
take down s0o,O0O,0OO excess war pro-
fits on corn more than they took in
last year. why shouldn't the farmer
put some of it in government bonds?

BORDERS ON SHAME.
Manson Demncrat.l

Manson is the fourth on the list Of
Calhoun county towns in Red Gross
membership. Rockwell City leads. Lake
City is second, Lohrville is third and
Manson a weak fourth. This is not al
all as 1t should be. 1t is condition
bordering on shame that Manson
should have less than $50 members OF
the Red Cross, when Lohrville, a town
of only one-half the population Of Man
son, has over 200. while Rockwell City
with only 500 more people than Manson
has a membership of over 500. While
several life memberships have been
subscribed for in other towns, Manson
has not a single life membership. What
is the matter here, anyhow! Is that
dollar of yours so dear to you that
nothing will get it away from you--not
even the Red Cross. the greatest nu-
manitarian society the world has ever
known! Is it possible that Manson has
thousands of church improvements,
church donations and churchism in
general and not one cent for Red Cross
work? It costs only dollar to join the
Red Cross and that is all--no dues, no
graft, no comeback. That dollar goes
to outfit nurses and surgeons for the
great humanitarian work in the war
zone It may help to pick up poor
German soldier with his legs shot away
and put him in hospital and care for
him and buy him comforts; it may
soothe the aching brow of fever Graz
ed English soldier far, far from home
and loved ones: it may pick out Of a
trench the form of a dying French SOL
der and carry him to where he can
receive the solace of his religion as he
closes his eyes to the scenes of earth
and gives his soul back to God: it
may bring back to health some Yam
kee nurse girl, racked with pain and
sickness from overwork in the hospi-
tails of the soldiers of foreign lands;
1t may do any one of thousand things
for charity-"and the greatest of these
is charity" II it will do You any goof
to keep your dollar away from any of
these charities. keep it and may the
Lord prosper you. If it will do you more
good to hang onto your dollar and
watch it grow while the walls and
groans ofeanguish from civilized beings
Is ringing in your ears. hang onto it.
And while you are saying your prayers
where Your neighbors can see and
hear you. keep feeling of that dollar
IN your pocket-but do not give it to
the Red Cross. 1t might make some
body comfortable or happy

plight. from which neither Germany
nor the allies can extricate them. On
the one hand the. allies are demanding
ships from the neutrals and on the
other Germany Is demanding food. The
neutrals have neither ships nor food
to spare, but they run grave risks II
they refuse to grant any demands that
can be granted. Holland and Denmark
see the horrible fate of Belgium and
dare not invite attack from the Ger
man hordes that are lined along their
frontiers. Sweden and Norway are al
most as open to assault. Yet all OF
these nations must grant favos to the
allies If they are to obtain sufficient
food. The screws are turning more
tightly evey day, and soon the United
States must give them another twist.
The neutrals must lend ships or cargo
space to the allies, whether Germany
retaliates upon these neutrals or makes
allowances for the necessities of their
predicament.
Since Germany has not shown the
slightest consideration for any neutral
nation when her own interests were
affected, it Is probable that the north
ern neutrals will be forced into war
on one side or the other. Sweden's
people are inclined to go with the al
lies, and might do SO if the fear of
Russian aggression were removed.
Norway is anti-German, and so Is
Denmark at heart. Both are tied to
Sweden by diplomatic agreement that
may be ruptured by the force of war.
In which case Denmark, like Holland,
might decide to join Germany rather
than be overrun and devastated.
Spain and Brazil are drifting rapidly
toward war against Germany In each
case the prorecation is becoming too
strong to withstand without danger of
internal disorder. The people are in
famed and will not be satisfied with
out some kind of drastic action against
Germany. Both of these nations have
ships which can be of good service to
the allies, and both would be better
off in the war on the winning side
than out OF it.-Washington Post.

In the meantime the war is assum-

One thing bugs out Of the Sunday
closing controversy; the newspapers
might have done more good when the
question Of repeal and adjustment was
before the legislature than now if they
had then said the things about the
laws that they are saying now.
The man who buys liberty bond
knows he's going TO get his money
back with interest. The soldier doesn't
know whether he is to come back or
not. The farmer knows that he is to
profit hugely by the war. The soldier
knows that ne can not profit but must
give the time ne devotes to the ser
vice from his future. The soldier is
no Stacker. The wealthy man and the
