IOWA LUMBER PRICES HIGH

Altho Iowa is very. peculiarly stu
ated with reference to the sources of
timber and lumber for ordinary build:
ing purposes and should logically en-
Joy the comparatively low PRICES which
result from real competition, yet pres
ent lumber prices in the state indicate
that the ultimate, consumer is. not be,
ing greatly benefited and that, an ad'
vantage is being largely absorbed by
distributors of the products, says the
forestry department at Iowa State col
lege. .. ... .-.s.-.. .s.-....,
Between $4,000 and $4,000 cars Of
softwood lumber are used in the state
annually. Thirty-four percent of this
comes from northern forests, "a per.
cent from western forests, and 90 per
cent from the south. AS a result, com
petition in the sale of lumber should
be keen and prices should be very rea'
sonable. Whether or not the consumer
reaps any benefit as a result of Iowa S
unique location in the lumber world
depends very much upon the attitude
of the retailers from whom they buy
That at present, the consumer In Iowa
is doing very little reaping is the opin
ion Of the foresters Of Iowa State col
lege.

usually from five to thirty dailies,
or their equivalent in weeklies, for
each member-to be paid for by the
state. The papers SO received were
then mailed to constituents or resi-
dents of the, various districts. The
postage for the purpose Of sending the
papers out over the state was also
supplied from the public treasury. The
Importance Of these items is suggested
by the fact that the appropriation act
of 1856 provided $13.021.15 for postage
and $17,190.40 for newspapers; while
at the following session $16,267.94
was voted for postage and $23,321.OO
for newspapers. In addition to news
papers and postage the early legis-

THE OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES.

It is impossible to ask German
Americans not to feel bitterly about
our break with Germany. There are
fighting in them the instincts of ma
tivity against the oaths of allegiance.
No one can doubt which will win. An
inconsiderable few, perhaps, will be
unable to control themselves. But
the vast majority will show, them
selves to be Americans as true as
their fathers and grandfathers in the
civil war.
The feelings which are tearing the
souls of SOL large a body of Americans
impose a Serious duty on the rest OF
us. There is no place today for the
staggering, suspicion mongering patri
ct. 1t is Americans of heredity other
than German who must guard their
tongues and control their answers
They are not troubled with any duality
of feeling and if their passions against
'Boches are intense they will be well
coined at any recruiting, office.
Of course, there may be cranks,
highly emotional individuals, among
these Citizens who will do outrageous
things. Such individuals will have to
be locked up. There is no other way
out. But it is the duty of every good
American Of whatever birth not to
confound these individually with any
class of American citizens. =
For it is the primary duty of every
citizen Ito avoid every word or act
which may make the United States
any less a unit. Since August, 1914,
there have been forces in this country
busily feeding prejudices. insistent up
on; hatred Of one side or the other. The
'split is not serious: we are still all
Americans; it is solely as Americans
that We must act. .,s
The German-Americans are good cit
liens of the United States. While we
are in our right senses we have no
doubt of that fact. We must. see to 1t
that we remain in our right senses.
To lose the German-Americans would
be a greater loss to the United States
than to lose half an army.-Chicago
Tribune.

AMERICAN INDUSTRIES FOUND
EDO REPUBLICAN POLICIES

TOO many of us are apt to think
that we had no foreign trade prior to
the outbreak of the European war;"
says Doc Pratt, of the department OF
commerce, in a ranked statement to
the whole United States relative to
farm machinery. CAS- matter of
fact" he continues, "the United
States stood third among the export
ing nations Of the world and the re-
cent great growth in our trade is real
'ly lthegclimaX of q development which
has been going on for several de-
cades." Well, for several decades,
except for one or two temporary in.
terruptions, the United States has
been operating under protective tar
if law. The democratic near free
trade law went into effect Oct. 3, 1913,
and had free swing until July 81, 1914,
when the European war broke out.
During that ten months period our ex-
ports decreased $159, 100000, COM
pared with the similar period October,
1912, to July, 1913 under the repub-
lican law. Today u per cent OF our
exports are properly classified as war
munitions-shoes, steel products, am
munition, foodstuffs, clothing, animals,
etc. The capacity to handle our enor-
nous war trade was developed under
republican policies. The fact that our
producing classes have handled it is
ascribed by the democrats to demo
cratic policies. N...-.
! AS strictly agricultural country
the development of Canada was slow.
But she instituted protective tariff
policy and manufacturing industries
began to spring up. Her capacity,
however, at the outbreak of the Euro
pear war, had not sreached the apoint
that would permit her to handle the
vast orders which England would 9th
erwise have placed with her, and SO
they came to the United States, along
with millions upon millions of dollars
worth of other orders. And We have
handled them and the democratic tar,
| if policy has been temporarily offset.
So, after all, if any administration
could be credited with our war order
prosperity it would be the republican
administration under which our indus
tries had grown to such size that they
were able to handle the first orders
that came in, enlarging their plants
as those orders grew in volume.

of the measure. Considerable opposi-
ton was developed and it may not
get votes enough to pull it through
although the 50 farmer members OF
the house are generally for it. State
Game Warden HinShaw is opposed to
the bill and he says it's passage Will
mean an annual loss of 100000 to his
department.
Back to the Old Plan of Making Ex-
aminations.
John w. Rowley is father Of a bill
that has for it's object the placing OF
the marking of examinations for GER
tificates in the hands Of county super
intendents instead of having this done
by the state department in Des Moines
He claims it will save $4,000 to the
state. The department of public in
struction declares that it will not save
a cent as the expense of the readings
is paid from the enrolment fee which
is the same now as under the old sys-
tenn. Half of this fee goes into the
county institute fund and the other
half comes to the state office to cover
the cost of reading examination pa
pers. Under this system certificate
is good anywhere in the state and 1t
has proven highly satisfactory to the
teachers who pay the bills.
Changing School Names.

Domestic Science and Living Cost

Domestic Science and Living Costs.
The former attitude of the women
toward homework was much like the
former attitude of the farmers toward
agriculture. The farmers said that
they learned all there was in farming
from their fathers, and consequently
did not need any further training. They
laughed when the agricultural college
experts came around and tried to tell
them new ways of doing things. Now
the farmers are learning that by at
tending scientific farming schools; TAX
ing short courses. reading bulletins
of experiment stations, attending de-
monstrations, ETC.. they can greatly
Increase their production. Many of
the corn club boys can beat their
fathers In corn raising.
Similarly women said they learned
all there was in housework from their
mothers. Frequently however, their
mothers gave them no instruction in
homework, preferring to give their
daughters a free life of society. They
thot the girls could pick up housework
after they were married. Today many
girls come home from the Domestic
Science schools and can show their
mothers how a losing home can be
run at profit On the husbands in
come.
1t seems wrong that girls are turn
ed out from so many high schools and
academies with their heads full of
French, algebra, and literature, yet
knowing nothing about the basic tasks
of the household on the efficient per-
Torrance of which their marital hap
piness will depend. Happily classes
in home economics are now being
formed in many high schools and even
the lower grades, to instruct girls in
household tasks.
Also there is reported from the Do
nestle Science schools great inter;
est among factory and store girls in
learning homework. Very frequently
now, classes are formed of girls who
are engaged to be married, who will
take course of study in cookery and
home economics. A prospective hus-
band would we'll afford to pay high
tuition costs to have his bride elect
take this study.

RATHER LATE, BUT INTERESTING

than the school year 1912. Though
many states have in the meantime In
creased the average length of the

fore, somewhat misleading, they are
the latest the bureau can give. The
states, in the order of the average
length of the school year, are as fol-
