AS an aid to good citizenship the
Chautauqua exerts an influence in
our community that is little realized
by most of us. In upbuilding our
town with the view of making it at
tractive to the home-seeker, there is
no single institution that is of so
much importance. Considering the
state of the present Chautauqua
building and the opportunity of get
ting new one that is now within our
reach, it seems to me that it is a
now or never" proposition, and we
must cinch 1t while we can.

7O2 Pound Hog Sells For Thousand
Dollars

West Liberty, Iowa, July 23.-It
would seem that this high-priced-
corn bugahoo is not such frightful
thing after all, especially in view of
the local sale of one of its important
bS-products: A 702-pound Duroc hog
which Nauman and Son and Erb and
Son of West Liberty sold to Swegle
& Schonholz of Steward, ILL.,, for
$1,000 The hog was raised by Erb
and Son, from one of their sires, and
turned over to Nauman and Son to
develop. The animal was year cd
last March The purchasers heard of
the animal through field man, came,
and saw, and purchased. This is the
highest priced hog from local fields,
for many year.

Food Conservation Plans for the State falr

With the consummation of the plans
now being pushed by the Iowa State
Fair officials the state fair this year
will take an active and practical part
In the nationwide campaign of food
conservation. For ten days, begin
ming August %, the fair grounds will
be the headquarters and rallying point
for the workers in the state campaign.
The Iowa College Of Agriculture
will push the work vigorously
throughout the summer and bring It
to focus at the state fair. Professor
Bishop of that institution, at the head
of a stable army Of assistants, Is or
ganizing canning clubs by the dozen
In every county of the state. Canning
demonstrations are being put on In
every town and city and at every
country crossroads point II suffi-
cient number Of interested persons
can be corralled to listen to the new
gospel of food conservation.
A splendid work is being carried on.
The liveliest kind of enthusiasm fol-
lows these demonstrations and clubs
and teams remain to testify to the
worth and value Of the movement. It
is planned to have a canning team
from every county in the state attend
the state fair to take a part in the
grand demonstration Of food prepare
ton and conservation.
The interior of the Agricultural
College building Is undergoing a re-
modelling process to tit into the plans
of the college authorities for state
fair week Partitions will be re-
moved and the booth system of dis
play instituted instead. For instance:
booth will be devoted to cabbage,
showing the best methods of prepar-
ing for market, storing for winter,
etc. Another booth will be devoted
to fruits, showing methods of Grating
and boxing for market purposes;
canning, preserving and drying.
There will be booth devoted to
home-cured meats, demonstrating
dry-curing, picking, smoking, and all
the rest of it. Poultry and poultry

STATE FAIR AUTO SHOW

What an Intellectual, abortiye sort OF
attribute human foresight is anyway!
It is when a man seeks to penetrate
the mysterious shadows of the future
and learn something Of the joys, sor-
rows, blessings and calamities hidden
therein that he realizes what an in
significant atom he Is in the mighty
scheme of the universe.
When Iowa became the owner and
proprietor of the state fair a few
years ago, together with all the prop
erty, personal and real, equipment,
goodwill and appurtenances mental,
moral and physical, the officials
planned for the future on a scale they
honestly believed to be sufficiently
liberal and comprehensive to cover
the next fifty years at least. They
planned we'll, but with all their assur-
ance and optimism, with all their con-
fidence In Iowa's future, they fell la
mentally short of the mark in some Of
their estimations.
The automobile industry might be
cited as an instance. Fifteen years
ago the auto was mere plaything for
those with money to burn, and few
men dreamed of the possibilities
bound up in the suffering, uncertain
contraptions of that day. And any
man rash enough to predict anything
approaching present-day conditions
would have been considered proper
subject of investigation by insane
commissions.
The state fair management took no
thought for the morrow of the auto
industry and that is why they are up
against a most perplexing problem
today. For within the last five years
the auto show has become one of the
big features of the fair. Three years
ago 1t was comfortably accommodated
In the space under the amphitheatre.
Two years ago 1t filled the space to
capacity. Last year 1t swamped and
overlooked the accommodations pro-
vided and what to do with it this year
Is one of the problems worrying the
management. For the 1917 show
promises to Guido the show of 1916
even as that one overshadowed the
shows of previous years.
What the state fair needs Is big
auto pavilion, as big as an ordinary
city block at least, for showing autos,
trucks, auto accessories and every
thing pertaining to the industry. But
as that Ia ,..anifestly out of the ques-
ton at present the next best thing Is
to utilize the means at hand. 1t Is
likely that the space beneath the am
phitheatre will be reserved for autos
only this year, and provisions made
for showing auto accessories In ma
chinery hall, just across the street
from the amphitheatre. This will
make two shows of what perhaps
ought to be included In a single ex-
hibit, but they will be close together
and faiyly satisfactory. Meantime the
fafr mapas cement is looking hopefully
! forward to better facilities In the near
future.

FOOD SPECULATION.
The Government Will Simply Have
to do Something.

Our economic thinkers used to
have comfortable feeling that ev-
erything was regulated for the pub
lie good by the old law of supply
and demand. If prices asked were
too high, other people rushed into
the business and competition drove
them down.
The old laws of trade seem power
less in modern exigencies. Competi-
tio1 does not drive the food specula-
tor out of business. With a supply
of food only just adequate, he knows
that if he boards lot of it he can
force the price up. With a lot Of
people doing that thing, shortage
is created that would not exist ii
these products were being distribut-
ed naturally.
Nor does it seem possible to get the
food Spectator either by threats or
moral suasion. You can't melt him
by appealing the basis of pity for the
poor. 1t has always been held legal
ly legitimate to buy anything you
want and hold it as long as you want
to. He will insist on that legal right
The government will simply have
to do something, even if it cuts across
some of the old economic theories
You can not allow people to starve
while close at hand are locked gran
aries filled with food. They tried
that thing in Russia, and the Gal
was kicked out of the king row
There will be trouble here
1t has come to the point where
the right of any man to lock up and
refuse to distribute food needed for
the life of the people, must be sharp.
ly limited. If the state can con-
denim the land needed to build rail
road, it must have, or must be given
the right to condemn food needed
for the people. And if it comes tc
that, no speculator need think he
will get any fancy prices out of a
jury, like the fancy prices the land
owners have often secured from the
railroads.

"Sans Peur, Sans Reproche."

Il send my love to you," wrote a
young Iowar in the service of
France, to his parents. And then he
added: Believe me, Jimmy isn't for
getting you folks, as he wishes he
was back there about every night -
May every young man who goes from
Iowa have such feelings and may he
live up to them. May he think Of
ten of home, often feel home ties up
on him, and God help him so to live
and so to act as one always mindful
of the folks at home, to the end that
he may return to his own even as he
left his own, whole in body and pure
in heart
Our boys, so clean and strong, so
fit and so willing are going on one of
the noblest missions in the history of
the world. There is no quest that we
have read of in the annals of history
that is finer, higher, nobler They
are going across the seas to do their
bit to make, the world better to live
in fer nations as well as for men.
Throug h all the centuries we have
been tending toward one ideal and
that is self-gover1ment, to be mas
ters of ourselves, not the slaves of
others. Strange that men have had
to fight for that so long without
achieving it. This nation was the
first to set up this high ideal on a
magnificent scale. 1t is now again
assailed by the trained hosts of au-
tocracy, the authority of one over the
other, the arbitrary government of
human beings. We are going forth
as champions of what we have
achieved for ourselves and what we
hope to maintain for ourselves and
to help obtain for others.
Many centuries ago France produc-
ed man who dedicated himself to
the higher service of his fellowmen.
1t was said of him that he lived and
fought and died sans peur, sans re.
proche " without fear and without
reproach." May that be the idea
aid the ultimate realization OF even ,
young man who goes from Amer1.a
from Iowa. May they do their bits
without fear and return from theil
tasks without reproach.--CedarR Rap.
