that their convention was to be held

informed at headquarters that the

These.
ABOUT HolovER's WORK
It Must be Backed by People Who

Work Hard to Accomplish
Right End.

Iowa needs no apologies, j. +.
Deems, member of the Hoover 1000
committee told an audience at the Keo-
kuk chautauqua tent this morning. he
gave some concrete reasons why the
Hawkeye state is the best in the union
that fairly made one puff with pride to
think he was a native of this great
state. And then Mr.. Deems turned
his attention to the national Issues
and urged every man and woman IN
the state to do his and her share to-
wards paying for this war. Because,
as he said it wouldn't cost half as much
to pay for it now, as it will II we
should dodge our responsibilities ana
the kaiser should come over here, anu
dictate our indemnity.
Our duty in every way is to inspire
a patriotism Of deeds, not Just words.
We must have the combined efforts OF
all in the United States" he said
Perhaps it would not be a bad IDEA
to go back to the patriotism of rs ana
81. We should have a patriotism I'M
tainted by petty politics; patriotism
of high resolves of duty and service.
We should have a patriotism without
a hyphen, and any man ashamed of be-
ing an American without a sut1ix and
a hyphen should go back across the
water where he came from. No man
likes the one who bites the hand that
feeds him, and blieve If the signs OF
the times are right that the day is at
hand, when the hand that leeds will
be the hand that smites and will smite
with vengeance.

Spend Money for War.

I'VE must pay for the war, all Of US
must pay. II we don't do our duty and
buy bonds, then the government Will
have to tax us. If we dodge our
taxes successfully then the govern.
ment will be short of funds, and we
will lose this war, and then that blood
stained man eating ruler OF Europe
will come over here and dictate, yes
assess the indemnities against US, and
We'll have to pay twice as much. And
believe me I'd rather pay now, and go
without and then be able to spend my
money in the good old way under
Uncle Sam, than to have to watch a lot
of Germans wink one eye at u.s. and
spend those good old dollars Of ours.

Or the Hoover food commission, Mr..
Deems said it had no secrets; that it

EFFORTS TO DISPARGE
MAKES USEFUL DISCOVERY

Atlanta, Ga, October 22-An en-
terprising Atlanta citizen has discov-
cred a way to beat the high cost OF
coal and like all great discoveries
hme gives his formula free of charge
for the benefit OF suffering human
ity.
Here it is:
Fill fireplace about half full Of
coal, and on top of the coal place
two or three short sticks Of green
wood, preferably oak but green llick-
DRY if oak cannot be obtained. Get
thecoal fire going good and strong,
and let the green wood burn.
In the course Of thirty minutes to
an hour the green wood will dry out
and begin to burn, and will form into
a solid coal, and burn for two hours
or more, giving out great deal
more heat than a fireplace filled with
coal
This mixture Of coal and green
wood will reduce the the consump.
ton OF coal about 50 per cent and at
the same time will produce greater
heat than an. all-coal fire.

Country to See Greatest -
Athletic Activity During
The Next Twelve Months

DR.. Joseph E. Raycroft, director of
Princeton, predicts year of unusual
athletic activity among the army train
ing camps. He says: There will be
more real and widespread athletic ac-
tlvity in this country during the next
twelve months than ever before in our
lifetime
Doctor Raycroft is a member of the
war departments commission on train
ing camp activities.
"rhat the colleges have abandoned
athletics Is entirely a. false notion tIiat
has attained too general circulation
and acceptance" says Doctor Raycroft.
1.-THE colleges have not and will not
abandon athletics; what some Of them
did abandon was intercollegiate COM
petition.
Take Princeton, for example. OF
our student body of some 1000 young
men. nearly 800 promptly enlisted for
war service and at once began training
for it. 1t left them neither time nor
opportunity to engage in competition
with other college athletes, and we
therefore made virtue of necessity"
Doctor Raycroft disagrees with the
popular notion that American expert
ness In baseball throwing will prove
a distinct advantage in the hurting of
bombs. Trench experience, he states,
has demonstrated that the most effec-
tive results with those deadly little
missiles is obtained by a forward and
thrusting throw, as in shot-putting or
the Ehort-armed bowling throw which
prevails in cricket. Information OBJ
tanned from those who have had ex-
perience with boyuhs and grenades on
the battlefields and in the Canadian
camps indicate that the free overland
baseball throw is too prone to over
shoot the mark to be Of such pro-
nounced advantage, as most Americans
have fancied must prove the case.
Practically every branch of sport
will he encouraged in the training
camps, but it Is probable that boxing
will play leading part.
