trade and export war may be carried
on.
At the board of trade the returns
show that the scale is already turning
favorably and that exports are stead
lily increasing and the heavy trade
balance against England steadily go
ing down. On practically all the ar
ticles usually sent to America the ex-
ports kept steadily dropping off last
year. This is what has given point to
the present movement to concentrate
all attention on essential industries.

srsts Action and Now Declares He
Is Loyal to United States.

Webster City. May There was a
threatened strike at the Brown skate
factory when the men became dis
guGted at the pro- German talk OF
Henry Breiteukamp, one OF the en-
ployes. and served notice upon the
managers that they would not work in
the shop with him any longer. Ac-
cordingly. Mr.. Breitenkamp was dis
charged and everything at the factory
Is peace and harmony again. Mr. Brei-
tenkamp told Manager Brown that he
did not realize the real meaning of his
attitude He explained that he had
been bitterly opposed to England and
strongly In favor OF Germany from
the beginning Of the war and that he
had not appreciated the full differ
ence Of the situation since the United
States became involved. He admitted
that he had talked too much and de-
clared that from now on he was for
the United States, first, last, and all
the time.
Mr.. Breitenkamp has lived in Web
ster City for perhaps forty years He
has always been a good citizen and
an industrious man and his friends
regret that he has allowed his at
:acfmert for the fathe-land to lead
him into compromising statements.
Now that there Is war between the
United States and Germany there Is
but one course open to American cit
liens Of German birth or extraction
and that is loyalty to the flag of their
adopted country.

Miss DoIliver Gets Medal to Keep.

Fort Dodge, May For the second
successive year. Margaret Dolliver, the
silver tongued orator of the high
school, won the state discussion con-
test which was held at the local high
schol. She was given first place by
two of the judges and second place by
the third one. Miss Dolliver won the
trophy for the high school and also the,
gold medal for herself.
On April q Walter Jessup, president
of the University of Iowa. selected five
questions for the contest. The con-
testants studied the questions without
bias or prejudices: drew their own con-
clusions. and decided for themselves
upon which side Of the question they
would speak. At 1880 p. M, the day
set for the discussion President Jessup,
by telegraph announced the subject
that had been selected for the final
contest. 1t so happened this year that
the preliminaries held week ago were
on the subject that was finally chosen.
The subject of the evening was:

service, is the best means for I'M

Blanchard of Davenport and Joseph
Kelley Of Grinnell, all tied for second
place A vote taken on these three
resulted In second place being given to
Chester Falkenhainer. third to Joseph
Kelley and fourth to Joe Blanchard.s
The second prize was silver medal
and the third and fourth prizes were
bronze medals.
Chester F'Alkenhainer easily deserved
second place for he had fine argu-
ments, good delivery and voice, and
his stage presence was exceptional.
Joseph Kelley was one of the most
polished speakers of the evening.
At the opening Of the program the
high school orchestra played the over
ture to the Contest Of Nations, the
operetta which is to be given by the
seniors this month. Rev. w. Oscar
