Special to Times Republlcan
Des Moines, July 19-There is a
falling off in butter production
in Iowa this season as COM
pared to last of from - to 20 per cent.
This is the report Dairy Commissioner
W. B. Barney has just made to the food
conservation department under Herbert
Hoover at Washington.
Complete returns are Of course not
in from the state for the first six
months Of this year but a sufficient
number have come in to warrant the
above estimate. This shortage of but
ter comes in the face of high prices for
the product and abundance of grass
and season generally favorable
to dairying.
Cows have been sold off more closely
in this state than usual as they have
in all sections of the country. High
prices for all kinds of cattle and the
fact that the average farmer can
make money easier and more readily
out of grain than out of dairying is an
other reason
Buying Eggs For Storage.
Commissioner Barney says further
that it is being rumored that the cold
storage man who are now buying eggs
at from % cents to % cents per dozen,
farm price, are counting on selling
those eggs at around so cents per doz
en- this winter. They anticipate making
big profits on the storing of eggs this
next winter just as they did last win
ter.
Attorney General Havner has asked
county attorneys to look in the matter
Of local combinations to control the
price Of food stuffs, the state council
Of defense is looking into the cost of
coal production and the government is
threatening food price control. but as
yet nothing tangible has come out of it
all. Evidence continues to pile up, &C
cordins to reports coming in to the
state offices, that prices will continue
to be unprecedentedly high and as yet
there is but little evidence that any
thing is being done to control them

BALFOUR POINTS
THE WAY TOWARD

Intimates That Wilson's Plan
Against Future AggreS-

Will FIGHT HARD
BY ROBERT J. BENDER

WASHINGTON. Jan. 1S.-England
has pointed the way to President VIII
son for continuing his work toward
a lasting peace, according to official
belief here today In the supplement
tary communication forwarded to this
government from Lord Balfour. Off
cials have drawn the following con-
clusions:
The Entente is fighting to prevent
future aggression. She feels Presi-
dent Wilson can do much toward
evolving some plan for an interna-
tional preventive force to limit future
wars, and by intimation has convey
ed the suggestion that he pursue this
course.
While the President is working out
this plan and gaining sympathy for
il as one Of the prime requisites for
general peace discussion, the Entente
Will fight on In an effort to crush, or
at least weaken the military power
and prestige Of her enemies.
Balfour, It is pointed out, lays para
mount importance on the necessity
for halting future aggressors. He said
that an effort while territorial read
iustnents sought by the Entente
Powers might allay future danger
somewhat they would provide no suf-
ficient security against recurrence Of
war"
such security, he concludes, is pos
sible only with some form of in
ternational sanction 10 stand behind
international law and treaties for
preventing or limiting hostilities.

Miss Bissell discussed the proposed

outlined is not to have a board Of cen
sors, but to prohibit the showing of any
picture In the state that does not bear
the seal Of the board Of censors Of

In case a picture comes TO Delaware
uncensored before II could be shown It
would be necessary under the provisions
Of the proposed bill 10 send il to Penn

most Of the pictures that are shown in

that many that are shown In different
towns outside Of Wilmington are not
