BUSINESS FOR THE PAST WEEK.

| Dun's Review reports retail business
| for the past week as showing strength
| regardless Of the constantly increasing
! effects of war upon all channels of
civilian trade. Enhanced costs due to
! higher wages and raw materials has
| made it necessary to use so much more
capital in almost every line that the
increased demand for money together
| with the governments borrowing has
frightened the money market very
materially which in turn causes mer-
chants to buy more sparngly but
concludes the Review:
With all the present drawbacks
and doubts about the future, and not
withstanding the severe and persistent
depression in securities, the fact is not
obscureG in the main business still
makes Roadway.
Fixed prices for steel and iron which
are made available for civilian business
for the first time now promise a for
ward movement in those trades in so
far as the raw material can be obtain
ed but war orders from the allies have
given big boost to the shoe trade.
The Review reports that:
The magnitude Of recent leather
sales to the British Buying Commission
was a cause for wonder, and these
record transactions have been followed
closely by further heavy purchases by
the same interests, about 100000 feet
OF upper stock having been contracted
for late last week. II is stated that
more than double this quantity was
wanted, but could not be obtained AS

foreign demand. bids will be opened

estimated to involve 5000, 900 pairs and
said TO be financed by credits recently
granted 10 Russia. In view OF these
facts, 1t is not surprising that the
leather and footwear markets display
continued strength.
In dry goods prices are going up
under pressure from war orders and
people must wear less and wear them
longer. Dun's Review says that:
The dry goods markets, like many
others, are steadily coming more close
iy under the domination OF war condi-
tons, and the growing scarcity OF
many classes OF merchandise for
civilian uses is conspicuous feature.

mills can not supply more than third
or half OF normal output TO the
regular trade, and under the circum-
stances Il is not strange that the
price trend continues upward. One
effect Of the extreme prices is seen in
the tendency toward still greater eau
ton in the matter Of credits, and many
jo5bers are endeavoring to keep their
commitments within the closest pos

THE PRESS AND PUBLIC OPTNUON
rSioux City Journal

In the recent Iowa campaign for the
prohibitory amendment almost the
whole body of the Iowa press sup
ported the amendment, for the most
part outspokenly. There was no poiiti-
cal division on the Issue. The news-
papers that opposed the amendment
almost could be numbered on the fin
gers OF one hand. From this circuIn-
stance the yfnton Eagle reaches the
conclusion that the newspapers are
ahead OF public sentiment in this state,
with which the Waterloo Courier
agrees That" asserts the Courier.

publican. however views the matter
altogether differently and In explain-
ing thesnewspapers' loss OF leadership
Il berates then severely. The Republi-
can charges the newspapers with
hypocrisy. Their only DESIRE Is as
serts, was to be on the winning side.

force the so-calIed blue laws and says
that not one editor in ten dared to

Iowa Newspapers
WILL AMERICANS SUBMIT?
fDes Moines Capital.]

A dispatch to the Chicago Tribune
from Elgin, all, says:
Appeals for the relief of German
prisoners in internment camps in the
United States, started by the German
American Rliance of Elgin on the
same day the newspapers printed the
first casualty hist of the American ex-
peditionary force in France, have
wrought up this city"
Otto Pilz, owner of the Elgin book
bindery and Edward Theobald, secre-
tary of the Elgin steam laundry are
designated to receive contributions 10
the fund.
This begging association Is the Ger
man-American Alliance. The secretary
says there are ten to twelve thousand
prisoners in the United States and
adds that everybody must help, even
If it is only twenty five cents. Every
gift, no matter how small. is welcome
and not one cent is lost. 1nasmuch as
all the committee members are doing
their work out of love for the cause"
This movement is an insult to the
patriotic American people.
Every German prisoner in the United
States is being taken care Of better
than he was taken care of in the Ger
man army or navy or in his own
home, II he were a private citizen.
These German prisoners are 50 well
taken care of that they have nothing
TO do bat lie in the sunshine. They
have plenty Of food; they have every
comfort.
This movement for the help OF Ger
man prisoners in America Is back
firing enterprise to make the people
forget Belgium and Poland. Armenia,
RCmania, Servia. etc. There Is no
place on this earth where German
authorities have treated prisoners as
If they We're human beings.
Captain John MacVlcar who was on
duty for time at Fort Douglas. Utah.
says every American soldier in that
locality was Disguised because the
United States government treated the
German prisoners so well, even sub
hitting to insults from them. German
officers are arrogant even in prison
and their wives are stopping at hrst
class hotels IN Salt Lake. And here
is the crime of 1t all. Every German
officer OF the army or navy who Is IN
a detention camp receives his wages
every month from the United States
of America. 1t Is related that this Is
law and that Germany
will be expected to refund these wages
after the war IS over provided she
does not decide to consider the inter-
national agreement scrap OF paper.
II there is any courage or life in tile
government Of the United States some
of these insults to the American
people ought to come to an end.

Multiplying the Farm in War.

Much complaint is registered, and
naturally too, from the farmers whose
sons are drafted to the national service
and who at the same time are called
on to increase the product of their
farms. This rs difficult task; for one
can not send a physically fit farm boy
away and I'LL his place with a sub
standard man ignorant Of agriculture.
LOSS OF farm help ordinarily means loss
Of farm product. When the boy leaves
have to lie fallow.
This is true. but 1t is not all that Is
true in the case. There Is a reserve
OF power on the farm as everywhere,
that has not yet been called into action.
and will not be except by emergencies.
Few farmers have ever worked them
selves or their equipment UP to the
reasonable limit of their power. The
farm is proyerbially wasteful OF power
because 1t is usually unorganized. Each
farmer Is his own manager, and COM
paratiyely few are skilled managers OF
labor.
The great labor loss on farm comes
from the lack Of plan for the year and
for the day. Lack of forethought when
going aAeld. and the resulting retrac-
ing Of steps. idleness Of men and teams
from little ayoidable accidents or de-
lays OF forgetfulness: lack Of conven-
lent arrangements about house and
barn all nibble away the working
hours and cut down the product.
II directing head is left on the
farm from which the boy has gone to
war, the farm may yet be made to yield
we'll. High prices are squirting people,
old and young, to work as they have
never worked before. Women and boys
are helping in the fields. Comparative
ly few men have been working up to
the hit OF their energy. Certainly too
