TO CANVASS CITY.
Housewives to Be Asked to Sign Food
Conservation PLEDGE Cards,


The Woman's Committee of the Ma
tional Council Of Defense met Satur-
day afternoon at the public library and
completed plans for food conserva-
ton campaign which will be launched
this week to secure signers for the
Hoover pledge cards sent out by the
food administrator at Washington. The
city has been diveded into sections and
a committee of forty women has VOL
unteered its services in making a
house-t toulouse canvass Of the city,
which began today.
Because of the great agricultural
production Iowa has had more than an
adequate supply OF food to meet its
own needs and the women fail to ap-
preciate the situation in regard to the
world shortage of food. Mr. Hoover
has made an appeal 10 all women of
America TO do their part, and the wom-
ans committee is assisting him to
carry the word to the women Of what
they must do If we are to win the war
with food Instructions for food con-
servation will be sent out from the
food administration at Washington to
all who sign the pledge cards Every
housewife can render her best service
right IN her own home. The committee
in charge Is asking the cooperation Of
the women in complying with the re-
quests Of the food administration.

because the interior was soaked with
fumes from gasolene used in cleaning.
Wild rumors of fighting to save this
building because of the alleged guam
tity of sasolene in il were entirely I'M
founded The gasolene. some 500 or
more gallons, was in a tank buried six
feet underground in the rear of the
building.
Little Salvage in Lumber.
The lumber sheds and stock are a
practical loss. 1t is true that there is
quantity of lumber remaining that
can be salvaged, but the cost of dress
ing the charred ends would probably be
as much as the lumber is worth.
T II. Knutson, the owner was no
more able this forenoon to conjecture
the cause of the fire than he was late
Saturday while it was burning. He
said no one was in the rear of the
sheds. and the barn where the flames
broke out when the fire was discovered.
He was in the office when children
notified him.
The small house just south of the
lumber yard. owned by T. c. Cart
wright, was not damaged.
Ties Up T.-R. Plant
The cutting of power wires. feed
ing the dynamos for linotype machines,
press and stereotyping machinery in
the T.-R. plant, shut 1t down just as
the second edition OF the paper was
ready to go to press. The feed wires
were swung in the alley just west of
the feed yards and between the burning
buildings so that il was not possible 10
resting them until the heat subsidized
so worknen could get up the poles.
Printing was interrupted until s.: 81 and
deliveries were consequently late.
When it was evident that the cleo
trio wires in the fire area would soon
go down the become dangerous to life
early in the fire, Dan Ringer. a former
lineman. now an employee of Central
Foundry Company. volunteered to climb
the poles in the intense heat and cut
the wires. He did so IN two places and
the current was shut off. leaving large
sections Of the city in darkness until
temporary wires were strung.

PRESSURE NOT LACKING.
Lack Of Water at Fire Due to Small
Mater Main.

Inquiry today, regarding the cause
Of what appeared to observers al the
fire Saturday a lack of water pres
sure. seems to show that the lack was
due rather TO the size of the main from
which the water was being drawn
rather than from lack OF pressure at
the pumping station.
Councilman John I. Bell, superin-
tendent of the water department, went
to the pumping station to see that
adequate pressure was maintained. The
pressure ranged, he said>today, at 40
pounds soon after the alarm was
sounded UP to 40 pounds. An average
of $50 pounds was maintained. 1t is
his opinion that what seemed like lack
of pressure was because most Of the
seven lines of hose used on the fire
We're being drawn from one eight inch
main. The large quantity of water
thrown had no perceptible effect on

Feet
The council this forenoon began
making inquiries regarding the Hambel
estate feed sheds as a fire hazard
Chief Anderson of the fire department
is authority for the statement that the
sheds We're condemned by The state
fire marshal long ago, but were never
ordered torn down. The authenticity of
this condemnation Is being inVestigat-
ed. Fire hazards caused by ill-kept
premises in the rear OF store buildings
were being investigated by the council
today.
Chief Anderson today also was in
vestigating a story to the effect that
children had started a bonfire in the
rear Of the lumber yard. and that it
was this bonfire that was responsible
for the destruction Of property. The
investigation at noon had not progress
ed sufficiently to warrant any authen-
tic statement

SPIES AND SABOTAGE
Draft of Regulations Presented at Meet
ing of the Cabinet by Attorney Gem
eneral Gregory-Enemy Aliens
Must Register.

Washington, Nov. President Will
son is expected to issue proclamation
soon requiring every alien enemy within
the United States TO register. as step
toward Kidding the country of spies and
sabotage. The government has decided

for sitting from the 100000 Germans in
the United States the few who are be-
lieved to be causing fires in munition
plants, grain elevators and warehouses
and promoting propaganda injurious to
Americas prosecution of the war.
Attorney General Gregory took to the
cabinet yesterday, for President Wilson's
consideration, draft of regulations un
der which the registration might be car
ried out, following the program adopted
in England and France for keeping a
close watch over the activities of enemy
subjects.
