our earnest and patriotic attention.
Our own beloved America Is in war
with a foreign country. 1t Is the
duty of every boy and girl, in stirring
times like these, to volunteer their

assist in the growing of food stuffs

those who actually do the fighting In
all the ways of modern warfare.

bring this production up to the
highest possibility, we need the help
o,eFery boy and girl in the state. We
need your individual help. You can
help, and in so doing you not only
serve your country, but yourself as

for you to plant a garden. give it good

harvesting. SO that the fruits of your

in this splendid task and in addition
the state stands ready to give, through
its various agencies, all the assistance
you may command. The state can do
much for you by furnishing informa-
ton of the latest and most improved
methods of food production and har.
yesting.
Therefore, by virtue of the power
IN me vested as Governor of the state
of Iowa, call upon every boy and
every girl in the state to enlist in

supply, and in accordance Herewith

DON'T SELL YOUR BROOD s0Ws; RAISE MORE MEAT

Clemson College, 8. C-The hog
situation at present indicates good
prices for next year. This years
sales to date at eleven Of the leading
distributing centers of the United
States show decrease of about one
million hogs as compared with the
same period last year. Some farmers
may be 80 near sighted as to sell their
breeding stock on account of tho good
prices hogs are now commanding.
Don't let these high prices persuade
you to dispose Of your breeding stock.
Bear in mind that the brood sow Is
the source Of next years supply. 1t
seems certain that there will be a
strong demand for pork next year both
in America and Europe, regardless OF
whether the war continues or not.

1t Is probable that two large pack.
Ing houses will be In operation In

and naturally this will create a better
home market for our surplus meat an.
imals than we have ever had before.
Therefore, hold on to your brood
sows; breed them to good pure bred
boars; prepare In season for suitable
forage crops and. grain that the pigs
may be pushed rapidly in their devsl.

What the British Fleet Mems.
(The Worlds SVOrl,.)

If by hook or crook the Germans
could destroy the British heavy bat
tleship fleet in night, the whole
direction and destiny OF humanity
would be changed. The fate of this
world rs 1t Is organized to-day
hangs on that little group Of engines
Of war off the north coast Of Scot
land and the men who control 1t.
They mean more to us and to DOS
terity than any one quite realizes.
Should this little group of floating
gun platforms fail in It's appointed
task, we would feel the effects, next
to Great Britain, more than any
country or people inathe world. 1t
would mean that England would be
starved into submission. 1t would
mean that wo would probably lose
all the money that we have loaned
to England and all that she owes us.
1t would mean financial panic such
as the world has never seen. Credit
would dry up. Exchanges would
break down. All the fabric OF inter-
national commerce would be de-
stroyed. All the relationships that
have been established between nation
and nation and people and people
would have to be reconstructed on
new basis. 1t would mean nothing
less than the reconstruction of the
civilization Of the whole world.
