TRAMP AND STACKER a COMPARISON.

The Sioux City Journal tells story
of bum which by virtue of COM
parison is worth retelling. The fellow
had managed to get hold of dime and
was torn between hunger and the ap-
petite for smoke. He unbosomed
himself to the man in the cigar store.
He didn't know whether to buy some
thing 10 eat and go without a smoke
or buy the smoke and go without
something TO eat. Just then he noticed
the flag decorations on the smokes for
soldiers" barrel and asked what the
decorations were for When it was ex-
planned to him he bought a can Of
tobacco with his dime. threw it in the
barrel ana went cut hungry and
smokeless.
Now that was a "bIeary, unkempt
tramp" outside the respect of man
kind, perhaps without friend as with
out cent.
The comparison forces itself between
the tramp and the wealthy Stacker
who refused 10 contribute to the war
funds OF the y" and the X. c., who
denied the liberty loan and withstood
solicitation for the Red Cross. II is
com parison that crowds itself for
ward. and will not be denied. Such
com PARSONS make themselves
Settle the status Of the two in your
own mind. There they are, the tramp
and the miser.
Somehow they bring to mind the
thief on the cross and those who cast
lots and quarreled over the garments
al it's foot.

ticularly, and we do not commercialixt
It as do some Of our sister states, but
what would we be worth without 1t?
1t Is climate which produces red
blooded boys and girls-men and wo-
men of the highest type Of citizen
ship--to say nothing of the magnificent
crops of corn and hogs and other
things. Every month Of the year is

and charm, golden September being no

WHY NOT INVEST PART OF TT?
ICedar Rapids, Republican,
If Iowa puts ten per cent of her big
crops into Libtrty bonds 1t will mean
the floating of big issue in this state.
And Iowa, it seems to us cannot only
afford to do that, but it will be wise
on the part of the people to do So.
The government bonds will be as sta
BILE and as safe as Iowa lands and
the yisiI CT even three per cent with
out taxes is not at all bad as money
lending with the chances involved
goes. It would be most prudent as
well as patriotic thing to do for the
people OF the state. to invest liberal
supply of their surplus money into
such bonds. If it is not done the
chances are that a great deal of our
prosperity will not be conserved that
is saved up for future use. but more
Of It will go into more expensive liv-
ing and for luxuries that at the end
of the year will amount to little
enough What is prosperity such as
we now have in the rural districts good
for If 1t is not to get something laid
aside for the leaner years that may
come. II a man gets $4,000 this year
for his products, the products Of his
soil and labors, where he would only
get $4,000 under ordinary conditions,
why should 1t not be wise to lay
$1,000 of that away as permanent
investment drawing interest? That
makes capital And wha/is better
investment or a more patriotic one
than a government bond sold to get
money on the part OF the government
to carry on the war for world liberty?

n. prior to the war none would sufrer

LOOSE REASONING.
Iwaliaces' Farmer.l


Some Of the folks who are deyotinS
SO much time and breath to solving
our food problems, use funny argu-
ments sometimes. We quote from a
document recently received:
The cost of a breakfast OF grape
fruit converted into oat meal and SUI
gar and cream, would sustain life ten
times as long.
Two boiled eggs for breakfast do
you more good than twelve times their
cos: Invested in strawberries
"The price Of an oyster cocktail in
vested in Goldfish buys twenty times
as much body food.
Mushrooms at so cents the portion
would buy ten loaves of bread. with
forty times the nutriment.
"Sixty-five cents paid for a modest
amount OF asparagus tips would buy
twenty FIVE times the nutriment, IL
spent for baked beans and bacon"
What are We trying to get at any
how? We are told that the trouble is
the high price of bread, meats and
other food necessaries. The reason
that prices are high Is because the
supply is short. When the supply is
short the less we eat, the more there
will be for other folks 70 eat There
fore. il rich folks are willing to pay
fancy prices for grapefruit, straw
berries. oyster cocktails. mushrooms,
asparagus tips, why discourage them?
II they will I'll up with these things
they can not eat as much bread, meat
and potatoes, and consequently there
vv-tty ~.
for the rest Of us, and the price ought
to be cheaper. We ought to encour-
age the folks who can afford it to live
entirely on the fancy things that the
rest can not afford to buy. Such
stuff as we have quoted above ought
to be suppressed by the censor

TINE GENERAL BUSINESS FIELD.

Waiting Is still the rule in not rev
,,,rtars tho in the main business Is
rather less hesitant and the aoVahcins
season is calculated to stimulate those
branches which have experienced the
usual summer hating.
With lower temperatures, worhins
conditions are also better: but the en-
llargement of manufacturing capacity
does not in all cases assure augmented
outpr1ts for the labor problem grows
more difficult with the draft in opera
ton, and even where supplies OF raw
materials are adequate, the obstacles
in transportation not infrequently I'M
pede their movement to points OF aes-
tination. That many OF the mills ana
factories continue to run actively on
previous orders, and will be thus en-
gagged for some time to come, is gen.
erally known: yet Of new contracts
from regular channels there are fewer
on the whole. and purchasing as the
necessity arises stands out as a more
prominent feature not only in the east
but also in the west and south.
After many months Of extraordinary
demand and great rise Of prices, such
symptoms were to he expected, and it
is significant that many buyers now
hold off as far as possible in antici-
patton of more decisive readtustments
in commodity markets, or because the
outlook in this respect is clouded. Yet
that existing uncertainties, and the en-
HANGED cost Of money, have not seri-
ously deranged business is made clear

smallest in number for the month of

Ch!cago.-Wmie general business ac-
tivities maintain d strikingly high ag-
gregate, the momentum IN some in
stances eases off cliSntly because OF
uncertainties which become more evil

The large Withdrawals Of men from

ties is responsible for much interrupt

branches Of production and, even witah
improved methods adopted to keep up

directly affected. The scarcity OF ma
ter:als and danger of further traffic
congestion also add to the problems.
Confidence, however, remains mistaken
and the basic conditions generally are
regarded as encouraging.
acknowledgements OF fall mer-
chand!se are heavy. and sales in most
lines continue considerably ahead Of
corresponding period last year.
Wholesalers report orders satisfac-
tory. and manufacturing continues
heavy. especially in machine shops and
steel plants, and skilled labor is well
employed. Department stores report
good sales and retail trade in all lines
is holding up we'll. Collections are sat
isfactory.
ST. Louis-Trade conditions, on the
whole, continue favorable. tho some
lines are still handicapped by uncer-
tainties as TO future prices. and there Is
hesitation in entering into new com
mitments.
Kansas City.-A few branches Of
business show improvement in some
but there is no increase
in general activity and the SITUATE
as whole, is still quiet.

Their Eyes Speak Of Home.

something is in their eyes that speaks
of home,
And when they whistle something
trembles still
Upon the lips that try so hard to smile
Far as our eyes can see them DER the
hill.
They lift their heads unto the sunlit
dome
And swing their arms and chant a
ballad bright;
But somewhere along the memory
halted mile
They'll pause to think again of home
tonight.
Their khaki's new, and it seems fine
just now
To don the raiment that has made
them men
But an, dear soldiers, thru all life,
somehow,
Something still speaks of home,
sweet home, again.

Tho announcement Of fixed policy

has yet been put into effect IL means
that the enlisted men OF the nationai

army will have every opportunity w
u. themselves for commissions. All
additional officers needed will be FOUND
in the various branches OF the army.

there will be established at each al

the ranks who show specia! quaiiiica- :

He is an extra good individual and
represents the most popular breed in
the country today His pedigree repre-
sents the best blood of his breed. His
quality is unsurpassed and he has the
best disposition of any stallion in the
country. He transmits this disposition
70 his colts. He is a tried horse and a
sure foal getter. His colts are easy to
sell and bring good prices; they have
high life, plenty Of vim, but are easy to
handle. He will stay here and give you
a chance to breed to him again,
We will exercise. the greatest care in
handling mares, but will not be respUn-
