Wedding Guests Required to Bring
Bread Cards.

In such sorely pressed neutral
countries as Sweden the war has re-
suited in rich and poor alike being
subjected to many restrictions here
tofore unknown, says the January
Popular Mechanics Magazine. An IL
lustration of this-not without its
humorous aspects found in a Swe-
dish wedding invitation recently re-
ceived in this country by friends of
the bride and groom. The latter were
members of two wealthy families in
Stockholm, and the handsomely en-
graved missive included an invitation
to a banquet at one Of the finest ho-
tells in the Swedish capital. 1t was
in a notation at the bottom page that
the hand of war manifested itself,
in these words: please bring your
bread cards" This meant, of course
that well-to-do hosts at wedding
could not provide their guests with
bread, except il restricted amounts
and in the manner prescribed by law.

IOWA BORROWING
FROM The U. S.
The Federal Farm Loan Board Get
ting Many Applications From
State of Iowa.
LOANS COMING IN
RATE $1,OOO,OOO WEEK
Iowa Promises to be One of the Ban.
ner States Under the Whole
Farm Loan System.

Washington, d. c., Dec. 24.-Iowa
which at first seemed to be the state
least disposed to take advantage OF
the federal farm loan act, now
promises to become one of the ban
ner states under the whole farm loan
system.
A report, just made to the federal
farm loan board, by the federal land
bank of Omaha, says that loan APP
pl:cations are coming from Iowa at
the rate of $1,000,000 a week. The
applications from chartered farm
loan associations now exceed $3.50
600 and more than S2,000,000 of ad-
ditio1al applications are pending.
The report says that almost every
county in Iowa now has one or more
national farm loan associations com
pletely organized or in process of or
ganization.
The federal land bank of Omaha
made no attempt to organize farm
loan associations, or (obtain appli-
cations for farm loans, in Iowa dur
ing the spring and summer. About
the middle of September campaign
was started, mainly through local
banks, which has met with very
great success. Arrangements were
made whereby a membership fee OF
one-half of 1 per cent of the loan
should be paid by the applicant for a
loan, and the local associations auth
orized to pay such membership fee to
the secretary-treasurer as compensa-
ton and for the facilities furnished
by his bank for the transaction OF
business.
According to the government sta.
tistics there are nearly $500,000,0 600
worth of farm mortgages in Iowa.
Iowa exceeds, in farm mortgage vol
ume, any other state by large mar
gin, because of the great value Of the
land used as security. But Iowa, on
account of it's high priced land, has
enjoyed a very low interest rate. Since
the war, there has been general stiff
fleming of interest rates with the re-
suit that Iowa farmers are looking
more and more to the federal farm
loan system for financial aid.
Under the farm loan system, loans
are now made at " per cent, the
rate having recently been raised from
5 per cent. These mortgages are made
on the amortization or installment
plan, running for thirty-five years,
with a fixed semi-annual payment
just large enough to discharge the en-
tire Indebtedness in the thirty-five
year period. The borrower has the
privilege of prepayment at any time
after the debt has run five years.

Got the Packages Mixed.

An ardent lover recently accom-
panied his sister on an afternoon
shopping expedition, AID while the
sister was buying herself pair OF
hose he bought the other fellows
sister a pair of kid gloves. Of course
the clerk wrapped the articles In
similar packages, and the brother
who carried them home got the pack
ages mixed When the object of his
affection received her package and
found therein a pair of long black
stockings, she blushed. Then she
opened the accompanying note and
read the following tender lines: Il
am sending you a little present. Oh,
how | wish that no other hand than
mine would ever be permitted to
touch them after you put them on.
But alas, score OF fellows may
touch them, when / am not by your
side and other eyes may see them
when you are on the street or at
parties. / bought the longest pair
could get, and II they are too long
you may let them wrinkle down. A
great many girls know wear them
at parties. / want to see how they
fit when 1 call Tuesday evening. You
can clean them easily, dear. with
benzine, II you leave them on till they
dry. l hope they are not too small.
Blow in them before you put them
on" The young man called Tuesday
night "to see how they fitted" but
it is understood that he failed to win
a home.-Ex.

FROM ATTILA TO WILHELM.
Cedar Rapids Gazete.)


They salt the root of the vines;
they cut the threats of American and
Canadian prisoners; they bayonet
babies torn from the breasts of their
mothers; they cruelty the aged and
infirm; churches that were born al
most with the birth of Christianity
are wrecked; woman is violated;
men, women and children are drag
ged into slavery, all by whom-the
Huns. Yet there are the weak
kneed and the soft-voiced who pro-
test that these vandals should not be
called Huns. What in the name of
God are they? Are they pious? Are
they fighting this war like warriors
or like barbarians? 1t was Attila who
said there should not spear of grass
grow where once his warriors had
tread. Wilhelm has gone Attila more
than one better. He has said that no
living thing shall survive where his
Huns have tread, and the Huns have
followed and obeyed the advice of
their master. Nothing has been spar
ed where they have tread. Witness
the stories that have come from Bel
GUM and France regarding the at
rocities which have been committed
on an innocent people. Witness the
poem of hate that was printed in this
journal last Saturday written by a
Bulgarian-the poet laureate of an
ally of Wilhelm, the Hun. 1t is in
stilled in the followers of the three
kaisers that it is glorious to commit
atrocities on the defenseless that
their God blesses those who stain
their hands with the blood of the in
nocents. Shame be on him who as
al American believes that these rul
ers, these gods by might and not
right, rulers of men, have the right
to STAY utterly defenseless people
who dare raise their hands in pro-
test when the barbarians sweep over
their nation and crush them like the
dust Of the earth. Attila may have
been a savage, but if he was any
worse than Wilhelm, Charles and
Ferdinand, history has failed to re-
veal that side of him. 1t was Will
helm himself, who, when he sent his
soldiers to China during the Boxer
rebellion, called them Huns, and if he
has the right to so designate his bar
barials far be it from us to clothe
them as chevallers or bold and brave
knights who fight for womans hon
or and the glory of their nation. Will
helm invented the word Hun" as
suitable to his fighting mongrels.
Would that some inventive genius in
vent a more approbrious title than

DISASTER AFTERTHOUGHTs.

The fearful disaster at Halifax. N
y. has many suggestions for our peo-
pie wherever located. With condi-
lions as they are now, it is a time to
foresee all kinds of mishaps and dis
asters, from more or less serious fires
to explosions with terrible loss of
life.
A network of spies and plots ex-
tends its ramifications all through the
United States. They are working at
lonely prairie stations where food is
stored, as we'll as on the water
fronts of the ports where munitions
are going out When anything like
the Halifax calamity occurs, it is
ones first thought to attribute it to
the plot system. OF course it is diff
cult to believe that the plotters could
have made two vessels collide in a
harbor. Yet these fellows work with
such desperation aid ingenuity that
1T is not safe to assign any limit to
their operations.
They are looking everywhere for a
chance to destroy munitions, food,
and other war supplies, railroad
bridges and terminals, mines, etc. 1t
is time for keeping close watch ov-
er every bit of property connected
with the war. A great deal Of work
VIII have to be done guarding such
property, and as much of it should
be volunteer work as possible. Police
forces should give first attention to
protection of property having war
value, even if they have to neglect
some of their other functions.
Another afterthought relates to
the necessity Of care in handling ex-
plosives. Most people who have it to
do become careless. They forget all
about the hazard of it and some day
there is a fatality. Every railroad
train, ship, and truck carrying ex-
piosives should be handled with the
maximum Of care.
1t is not likely that all these disas-
tiers are caused by spies Some OF
them are due to carelessness. 1t IS a
time for rigid supervision of all
such work and for a great deal OF
Safety First talk.

THE GOOD FAIRY

Once upon time there was lit
tie princess named Dollylocks. Her
home was in beautiful castle just
at the edge of a great forest. She
was very pretty girl, but like all
children, she would sometimes get
into mischief
Dollylocks had been told by her
kind mother many times not to walk
into the forest by herself But one
day she went out to gather Wild
flowers and was so delighted with
their beauty that she never once
thought how far she was going
Suddenly she was startled by a
strange voice speaking to her.
Looking around she spied an old
woman looking at her from behind
large tree. This vas an Ogre who
lived in an old hut in this forest and
spent her time trying to rob kind
mothers of their little ones. The
Ogre picked Dollylocks up and car
ried her into her hut.
The little girl cried for her m6th-
er SO hard that soon she was car
ried into happy dreamland. When
she woke up she saw a dainty little
fairy standing beside her bed She
was dressed in dress of sunshine
cloth trimmed with dew drops. On
her head she wore a tiny crown
made of violets and rose buds. In
her hand she carried a little golden
wand. The fairy was so pretty that
Dollylocks told her how badly she
wanted her mother.
The fairy said that the fairy
queen had sent her to take the little
girls home who had been stolen by
the dreadful old Ogre. The fairy
lifted Dollylocks from her bed and
carried her outside where she
placed her on a piece of golden
carpet. The fairy said a few words
and at at once they started to fly
upward Just then the old Ogre
stuck her head out of the door, but
the fairy waved her wand at her
and she fell over dead.
Dollylocks and the fairy still rode
on until they came into the yard Of
the beautiful castle. She stepped
off their chariot of carpet and after
kissing Dollylocks goodbye the
fairy disappeared in a streak Of
sunshine
All at once Dollylocks found her
self in her dear mothers arms.
While crying she said, ooh, NAM
ma, ! never will be naughty again"

BOY TAKES WHOLE
FAMILY TO CIRCUS

Once there was a circus coming
to town on Saturday. Everybody
was going to see it. A little boy
who wanted to go so much, could
not for his father had not enough
money.
So this little boy thought he
would get a job carrying water to
the elephants. He went to. the
manager and asked for work. The
manager told him he would give
him enough tickets to see all the
shows if he would water the ele-
plants and horses.
The little boy was very glad to
do it, and worked as hard as he
could and soon got enough money
for the whole family to go. The
little boy was very glad he did this
and had a fine time that day. 1t
made him feel happy to be able to
have his parents and brothers and
sisters with him.-Clarence Hawk
