LAUNCH CANNING CAMPAIGN
"Can All You can," Slogan of State
Wide Canning Campaign, Now
On

A state wide canning campaign
comprising some 1000 canning dem
constructions that will reach every COM
munity in Iowa, was begun the past
week when IS specially trained young
women staged the first series of two
weeks demonstrations in as many
Iowa counties. The demonstrations
will reach 100,OuO persons at the low
est estimate and will result in the
formation of at least 1000 community
canning clubs.
Each demonstration will conduct two
demonstrations a day for two weeks
in 20 different communities in the
same county. They will then move
to different counties until the entire
state has been covered. The demon
strations will be of the new cold
pack" method of canning. Besides
the county demonstrations, extra
demonstrations will be given in the
larger cities of the state.
Some idea of the far reaching ef-
fects of the whole campaign may be
had from the results of the first can
ming campaign just closed in Black
Hawk county. There S,532 people
we're reached; 1853 demonstrations
held; GA clubs formed with member
ship of 1,1OO. The demonstrators trav-
eled 1856 miles in conducting the
campaigns. The counties in which de-
monstrations are being held the first
two weeks are Clinton, Buena Vista,
Emmet, Kossuth, Wapello, Wright.

BUILDER OR CoURTiER, WHICH?

The attitude of congress in favor
ing Gen. Goethals rather than Chair
man Denman in the shipping contro-
versy is thoroughly representative of
the feelings of the country. The Am
erican people knew Goethals as the
man who built the Panama Canal.
They knew Denman as the man who
was thrust into Bernard Bakers job
by the insistence of Secretary Nc
Adoo. The two men, therefore, may
be judged by their credentials as well
as by their achievements. The judg-
ment of Europe, we venture to think.
will be like that Of America in this
matter The people who have the
most at stake in the course which
the shipping, board shall follow are
the people Of Europe whom the jitney
fleet of American merchantmen will
feed If those people could vote and
were to be limited to choice be-
tween Goethals, the Panama canal
builder, and William Denman. the ia
vorite of McAdoo, what do you think
the result would be?

SCHOOL ELECTION. y.
UP TOMORROW.
Election Held for Purpose Of Ratify
ing Contract Made Between Dis.
trict and College Association
ALL SHOULD VOTE IN FAVOR
II Proposition Should be Turned Down
Much Money Would Be Spent
for School Facilities

We desire to call attention to the
school election to be held on Thurs
day. the 14th of June. This election
is held to enable the voters of Den
ison and the independent school dis
trict to ratify the contract made be-
tween the Independent district and the
Denison Normal college by which the
college property Is to be. leased to the
Independent district, the beginning Of the
lease being on the 18th day of June
and continuing for one year under a
nominal rental with the privilege given
the independent district at the
end of the year to purchase
the property for public school pur-
poses, and at the same time to serve
those students who may wish to take
up studies outside of the regular work
of the high school. We cannot suf-
ficiently. emphasize the Importance Of
this election and its influence on the
community. The schools of Denison
have grown so rapidly and to such an
to provide other buildings and facili-
ties than those which the district now
affords, and the arrangements made
to take over the normal college prop
erty is a complete solution of the
question. We do not know of any
organized opposition to the plan and
do not believe there is any, because
we cannot conceive of any reason why
q fair-minded person would oppose the
taking over of the property by the
independent district.
We most earnestly beseech every
friend of education and economy to
vote in favor of the proposition. If
the proposition should be turned down
it simply means the investment OF
100000 or more to provide school
facilities adequate for Denison. This
means an amount at least four times
greater than will be required to carry
out the plan of taking over the col.
lege property. Weibelieve in. the long
run that the work which the college
has been doing will be furnished un-
der the. new arrangements and that
every friend OF the college will find a,
disposition on the part of the Denison
school board to carry out both the
letter and spirit OF the contract, which
will insure every facility for the
young men and women Of the COM
munity being furnished with all the
opportunities which they have enjoy
ed in the past.
! Again we repeat, let every voter in
the city, not only vote at this election.
but in addition use his influence to
see that the election carries.

FLOOD WATERS: Wa E || l..
P'RED0MlNA'T|ED
Terrific Rainstorm, Which Approached
A Cioudburst, Wished Crawford
County Last Friday
BRIDGES AND cULvERTs GO OUT
Railroads Suffer More or Less, as
Did Many Fields Of Corr'-Some
Damage at Manila

MANILA, Ia, June "a terrific
rainstorm, which approached cloud
burst, visited Crawford, Audubon
Greene and Carroll counties Friday
afternoon, causing serious damage to
the crops. delaying railroad traffic
and washing out numerous small
bridges and culverts. Old residents
here say that they never knew OF
the water in Mosquito creek to get
as high as it was here last night, a
few hours following the rain
Several heavy showers in the fore.
noon were followed by a steady down
pour in the, afternoon which, accom-
panied by a strong wind from the
north, reached its height at about $3.50
O'Clock. The. streets and roads be-
came rivers and were impossible I'M
til some time after the rain had
stopped about 5&o'clock.
In the country much of the hillside
cornfields were washed out and SER
iously damaged and on the lowlands
thousands of acres were inundated.
While there is still time for replant-
ing some varieties of corn. some Of
the lower fields will not be drained
and dry enough for working until too
late.
The Milwaukee railroad east of here
suffered a bad washout near Bayard,
tying up the traffic for about six
hours. The station agent would not
attempt to give time of arrival Of
any of the trains from the east and
those from the west left here with
the passengers knowing that they
would be delayed at Coon Rapids un-
til repairs were made. Work trains
were sent out in both directions from
here supplied with lanterns and lights
to work all night. Other trains were
sent from Perry, working west, with
track men to go over all culverts,
and through all cuts.
The flood water in Mosquito creek
was several feet deep on the main
road running west of the depot to
and was within a few
feet ,-of the tor, of the. nosth track
on the Sioux City branch. The water
reached from the hills. to the Mil
waukee grade, as far north and south
as one could see. This water reached
its crest about 10 o'clock and began
to fall about midnight Further flood
ing of the Mosquito creek valley from
Yorkshire south. below the end of the
new drainage ditch, is expected when
the flood water pours into the al
ready bank-full creek.

that the northerners can not stand the
heat. We have not had any rain
for about three weeks but it does not
matter for it is all sand and as soon
as it quits raining 1t is dry enough to
run ten ton truck over it so must be

HOW HE FEEDS FOR PROFIT,

A profit of $530.SO from rs Angus
heifers tells the four months feeding
experience OF Will Beattie, of Henry
county.
Beattie bought the 25 head for $S87.
During December they were run on
stalks and put on feed Jan. l, continu-
ing in the feed lot 1O1 days. The Jan
uary daily ration was bu. corn. SO
lbs. cottonseed and $50 lbs. silage with
hay at free will: February daily ra-
tion: bu. corn, SO lbs. cottonseed, 500
lbs. slage and hay at free will. The
cattle ate very little hay the first two
months. Thru March, 5 bu. and SO lbs.
of corn were fed each day, 100 lbs.
cottonseed and 240 lbs. silage with
some little increase in hay April 1
addition of 2 bu. oats daily. The last
s days daily ration was 4 bu. oats, 4
bu. corn, 100 lbs. cottonseed with hay
in addition. Stalk pasture cost $12.
About 2 tons of hay we're fed costing
$12. Including hay and stalks. the to-
tai feed bill was $619,S2. This, added
to the, cost of the cattle makes
$1,6O5.32. Net returns were $3,136.12,
leaving a profit of $530.80.
The heifers were more than average
in quality and were good doers SfrOm
start to finish. Their average net
weight in the Chicago market was 799.
ers of less quality and breeding 1t Is
doubtful if the same results could
lhavc been secured.

The First Test.

The first test to which the admin

of war against, Germany was in the
recent special election to fill vacan

can. Only. once in twenty-seven
years-and that in the year of Re
publican division-has it sent Dem
ocrat to- Washington. Last fall it re-
electedthe late Congressman Sullo
way by plurality of more than two
thousand. 1t went for the Republican
candidate for Governor by nearly four
thousand. Though Wilson carried
New Hampshire by ffty.six, this Dist
riot went for Hughes by twenty-five.
1t was Republican territory. Left to
itself, it would have gone Republican
without question.
Yet the President who is crying for
non -partisanship, because he has not
kept us out of war;" was unwilling
to allow this normal Republican Dist
riot TO- pursue its political way in
peace. He raised a partisan issue, he
sent partisan agents there. he caus-
ed partisan campaign to be made.
His spokesmen,t alleging that they
spoke by the Presidents authority.
made the astounding assertion that a
vote for the Republican candidate
would be reckoned as a vote "for
Prussianism and the kaiser.' In the
face of the record Of opposition to
the Presidents war programme which
the leaders Of his own party have
made in Congress, these emissaries
Of the administration had the ef-
to plead with the New Hamp-
shire Republicans to desert their own
party as a means of displaying their
loyalty to the nation and to send an
other Democrat to Washington to
stand by the. President
The specious argument, failed. The
District failed to respond to the plea
that it was unsafe" to elect Repub-
lican to represent a Republican con-
Though the vote was light,
the percentage of Republican prepon-
derance was maintained In the first
test which the Democratic party, at
the Presidents instigation, sought to
make upon false issue its failure was
The false issue, "he
kept us out of war, succeeded last
November. The false test, Stand
by the President" finds no reaction of
success now The first attempt to
capitalize the war for partisan uses
has met with disaster. 1t is a good
omen. gs
