When $50 hogs near Central City

Those 2 so hogs had possible po-

The actual damage could have been
no more than that sustained by the

have been one quarter so much, but
the thing would have called together
the scientists of North America to
speculate on the underlying causes
that failed to be self-supporting.
Had these twelve farms sustained
from wind a total loss of $500, the
news would have been carried by all
press associations and special report

articles and photographs galore. And

The damage would have been done

In the case of hog cholera the dan

What quarantine regulation may pre-

IOWA FARMS IN The MAR.

Hoover appeals 70 the Iowa farmers
TO raise more hogs. The world needs
the fat that the hog supplies and Mr..
Hoover assures the farmers OF the
state that feeding the crop into hogs
is the best way to utilize corn this year
Perhaps there is need Of urging the
farmers to feed hogs for some Of them
are wondering whether it would ne
most profitable to sell the corn or feed
the hogs but the farm. with the hogs
will fatten th1m whether Messrs.
Hoover or -I-. Deems advises one way
or another. And the farmer whose pigs
failed to materialize or were swept off
| he will have no hogs to feed and be
unable to get them. Moreover every
| farmer will strive to have his compile
uent of hogs next season. The Iowa
farmer is a hog feeder, especially if he
owns his farm and lives on it. If he
hasn't hogs he will take on a car or
two of cattle, # he can get the feeders
at the right price. Those who 90 not
feed sell most of their corn to those
who do feed. 1t is certain that most
of the Iowa corn crop will go into meat
right in Iowa feed yards.
| II is the way 10 sell the corn crop
at the best figures. Europe is asking
for all the meat we can spare and will
take it as fast as we are willing to let
loose of it. But Europe has never
| learned to eat corn. The demand will
for meats and lard.
| Moreover the Iowa farmer does not
change his system readily and he has
always raised hogs. He will pursue his
system generally and his system Is
10 have hogs to feed. 1t is not likely
that he will attempt to overstock his
hog lot whoever suggests that he
should do so: but he will raise hogs.
He always has raised hogs and he al
ways will; for if pigs is pigs hogs is
hogs on the Iowa farm.
There is not likely to be any great
change in the methods Of Iowa farm
ers There isn't need Of any great
change The Iowa farm has been pretty
fairly productive Of late. Next year
however, thousands OF Iowa farms are
preparing to sow ten or more acres OF
wheat as a patriotic proposition. not
that they expect to make as much
money out of the wheat as they nigh,
from the same acreage of corn fed tc
meat producing animals but because
the world needs wheat
It is well to counsel with the lowe
farmer He Is ready to meet and dis
cuss propositions. But in the end HI
inclines to run the farm himself

great importance, and OF some danger,
which may explain the protest.
We fear it will be difficult to arrange
this war to suit directors. They do not
want to dig graves because 1t takes
them away from home and they might
get hurt. They will not act as stretch
er-bearers--indeed, they would prob
ably be Of little use there-because 1t

hospital assistants because some of the
men whose lives they would help to
save might go back to the trenches;
better let them die. They do not wish
to rustic supplies behind the lines be-
cause that Is aiding the armies-be-
sides being work.
What the DIRECTORS desire Is to
stay at home, protected by our fleets

moral and intellectual leaders of the
country. And they cannot, poor fell

After all. unless they wish to be more

GERMANS AND LOYALTY.

webster City Freeman -Tribune.1
| II you stand very erect and speak
right out in defense Of Uncle Sam and
this war you are told you might offend
some German and you are also ac-
cused of clustering and parading your
patriotism. But that doesn't matter.
Red blooded Americans are going to
stand up for Uncle Sam Just the same,
and they are not going to care a rap
upon whose toes they tread. either.
The fear that the goading Of disloy-
al Germans may curb the patriotism OF
loyal Germans need not deter anybody
in the goading process.
The idea that an American citizen
must speak softly about patriotism
and condemn treason in whispers Is a
new idea and 1t doesn't go in his
sanctum. The kind of loyalty the Free
man Tribune likes is the kind possess
ed by such men as c. wack Of Mans
field H.. Mr.. Wack has owned farm
four miles southwest of Webster City
the past thirteen years and Is here
closing up a deal for its sale. Every
drop of blood in Mr.. Wacks veins Is
German, but he is a loyal American
citizen and is not slow in stating his
position.
.Ir. Wack was in the Freeman -Trib-
une office yesterday and the first thing
he asked was: Have you any pro-
Germans here7" He was informed that
there were a very few in Hamilton
county. but that nearly all Germans
were loyal. Then he proceeded to tell
how they sent German sympathiZer
from his town to the federal prison at
Leavenworth and how they put anoth-
er one under $4,000 bonds to keep the
peace The Freeman Tribune man VEN
tured the opinion that they were serv-
ed right
Mr. Wack replied with considerable
warmth: well. If had my way that
rich German who was put under U.s.
900 bonds would be deported and ev-
cry dollars worth Of his property con-
fiscated. He came to the United States
without cent and came to escape the
conditions against which the United
States Is now fighting. II he doesn't
appreciate this country he ought to be
sent back TO Germany and be made to
fight for the kaiser"
Mr.. Wack said much more along the
same line. He doesn't believe in hand
ling traitors with kid gloves. We have
some Germans right here In Webster
City Just like Mr.. Wack. They are 10y
al to the core and have no hesitancy
in hitting the snaky head Of treason
wherever it is reared above the sur
fare

he permits himself to undertake the

admirers as almost inspired. so long
as he confined himself to occasional

everybody else did and said sGbs'ah-
TALLY what others were saying. ana MS
C,onmoner has never been quoted
above other newspapers Of its class.
Senator LaFollette has had much
the same experience as Mr.. Bryan. IN
the senate and on the stump the SEN

Follette's Weekly the senator is mere
~ one of thousands Of writer's on puo-

IOWA OPINION AND NOTES.

1t is astounding what men will do
to get exempted from the draft-how
they will perjure themselves" says the
Mt. Vernon Record. THE most out
landish cases are being brought to
light every day. But that is not SO
astounding as the reckless way friends
or business acquaintance Of men have
perjured themselves. An affidavit that
white Is black and black Is white would
be solemn truth compared with some
of those that have gone to the district
board at Waterloo. Should that board
ever take it upon itself to prosecute
for perjury, there would be a great
cleaning among men whose names are
supposed to carry influence.
