IOWA's INDUSTRIES

At the request of the State cblnci
of defense the Greater Iowa associa
ton is undertaking statewide survey
of lowa;s manufacturing industries. (.
Members OF the Iowa state council
Of defense received request from the
national council of defense asking that
information OF this kind be gathered to
guide the federal government not only
In purchasing of materials necessary
for the equipment and maintenance OF
its new armOry but also with view
possibly to utilizing certain manufact.
uring plants in the production of other
materials for which the government is
In immediate need.
Letters of instruction have gone out
to county and group chairmen of the
Greater Iowa association throughout
the state and already great deal Of
the information has been received and
filed. Any manufacturing institution of
any kind in the state which has not
already been asked to supply this in
formation should communicate with
the Greater Iowa association at Dav.

CANNING FRUIT WITHOUT SUGAR

| WASHINGTON. d. c., June 81
| (SpeciaD-Fruit for use in pie or sal
ads, or as stewed fruit can be put
up or canned without the use of any
sugar at all, according to the canning
specialists of the department. They,
therefore, advise those who, because
| OF the high price of sugar, have been
| thinking OF reducing the amount of
| fruit they put up. to can as much of
their surplus as possible by the use
of boiling water when sugar strip is
beyond their means. Any fruit, they
say, may be successfully sterilized
and retained in the pack by simply
adding boilin gwater instead of the
hot sirup. The use of sugar, of course
is desirable in the canning of all
kinds of fruits and makes a better
and ready-sweetened product. More
over, most of the fruits when canned
in water alone, do not retain their
natural flavor, texture and color as
we'll as fruit put up in sirup. Fruit
canned without sugar to be used for
sauces or desserts must be sweeten.

If you are canning in tin cans, it
will improve the product to plunge
the cans quickly into cold water I'M

of the hot water bath, sterilize for 10
minutes with five pounds of steam
pressure. Never allow the pressure
to go over 10 pounds. .

NO FAVoRITIsM IN
 ENROLLING SOLDIERS.
Detection Will Be Easy and the Pen
 aIty Severe for Convictions.

Washington, May 10.-To dispose of any fear that county and city regis tration boards will exercise favoritism in enrolling soldiers under the selective draft act, Provost Marshal General Crowder issued a statement tonight declaring such practices would be virtually impossible because of the ex- pIicit terms in which the act is drawn. He warned admin istration officials that favoritism easily could be detected and would be punished with heavy penalties.
 Every precaution," said the state ment, will be taken to make it certain that the registration will be conducted with exact justice. The law is specific and allows no latitude to the boards, either in the matter of registration or in the later matter of exemption from service. In fact, the law is self exc outing.
 "The law provides the penalty of imprisonment with no alternative of a fine for any official or any registered man who shall make a false return or connive at such a practice. The safe guards against favoritism or evasion are ample"

MANY DIRECTORS IN HOUSE

kitchin to Vote for 1t Because "the
 Government Needs the Money"

Washington, May 10-The s1,sOO.- 000,O00 war tax, carrying wartime as sessments on a multitude of everyday necessities and luxuries, was taken up in the house today with leaders of both parties behind it but with scores of members objecting vigorously to indi- vidual sections.
 Democratic Leader Kitchin, in a four hour speech, urging prompt passage, said that while some items seemed unjust and excessive when considered separately, the only answer was that the government needs the money"
 T am going to shut my eyes and vote for it." said MT. Kitchin
 The debate developed a dearth of expert information on the question of just what is provided by involved legal language of the measure, and through out the day there was a rapid fire of questions from perplexed members. The income tax section raised such a cloud of confusion that for a time the house resembled a class of higher mathematics, with members of the ways and means committee taking turns in expOunding the intricate workings of the proposed schedule of percentages and uper-percentages.

New York. May 1O.-Herbert C. Hoover, who recently came from London to advise the government on food conditions in Europe. says that without control we may see flour $20 a barrel before the year is over, but that with control the present price Of -four can be reduced 40 to 50 per cent, and at the same time the producer be treated in liberal manner"
 No Occasion For Food Panic.
 MT. Hoover thus outlined food con ditions in a statement to The AssO- ciated Press today: There is abso-
 lutely no occasion for food panic in this country nor any justification for outrageous prices unless the oppOsi- lion of special interests defeats the president in obtaining the necessary powers to control the nations food fully and adequately. Americas
 problem is not one of famine for We
 have now and will have next year d
 large surplus. Our problem is. aft
 CT the proper protection of our own
 people, to give to allies the last
 ounce of surplus of which we are ca
 pable.
 Why Nation Needs Food Control
 Therefore, the nation needs a food control for two purposes-to regulate prices and to increase the surplus. After providing our normal consump- ton we will have. together with Can ada, a surplus for our allies equal to only 50 per cent. of the food they will require from us. If we take broad measures of control, we can. with as { little disturbance to economic machin- cry as needs be. furnish them an ad- ditional 20 per cent. Their loaf even l then will be a privation loaf. and ev- 1 cry ounce we can put on it will d. uinish their privation. The problem | is capable of solution. If, however, i the whole world allied and neutral is to have the unrestricted run of our markets in competition with each oth- CT and in competition with the specu- lator in this country we may exp/ct ! to see $5 wheat before the year is i over.
 Farmers Didn't Profit q am assured that American farm CTS did not realize S1.50 per bushel for f the 1916 wheat harvest yet the price l of wheat in New York today is $3.25 i per bushel and flour is S14 per barrel 1 with all it's attendant hardships and dislocation of social and industrial | life.
 "I have no hesitation in saving that. | If the able. patriotic men representing | the majority of each branch of the food | trades were called in and clothed with | the necessary powers to force the l small minority of skunks that exist 1 that an equally nutritious flour based l oE even S1.50 wheat could be sold in | New York for a good deal under $s per barrel and every trade would re- i ceive it's legitimate profit.

NEWSPAPER PUBLISHERS
 ASK FAIR TREATMENT
Believe Government is Putting Too
 Great Tax on the Business.

Chicago, May 10.-Many newspaper publishers are now on the way to Washington to attempt to procure fair treatment for their business under the proposed war tax, 1t was announced tonight by Hopewell L. Rogers, presi- dent of the American Newspaper Pub fishers Association. Mir Rogers said the publishers would cooperate with E. H. Baker, chairman of the legisla- ton committee of the association. In connection with the proposed increase in postage, President Rogers made the following statement: Tt is difficult to understand the policy of the govern ment, not only in the unfair, if not H. legal, practice of dating taxes back, but also in putting so great a tax on business in any form; and particu- Iarly in placing so heavy a tax on the newspaper business, which has prob ably been more severely affected in the last year through increased prices than any other industry. In time of war newspapers suffer particularly, owing to the enormously increased ex- pense due to the gathering of war news and the increased circulation for increased circulation means in creased expenses.
 "The newspapers fully realize the seriousness of the present situation and appreciate that they must bear their share of the burden, but the provisions of this proposed bill seem more severe on newspapers than on any other line of business and are to this extent unjust and indefensible.' '

RINTELEN NOT TO TAKE
 STAND IN HIS OWN DEFENSE.
It Was Supposed He Would Make
 Some Startling Revelations.

New York, May I0.-With witnesses called in behalf of David Lamar, the defense opened today the trial here of Captain Franz Rintelen of the German navy and five others charged with con- spring to disrupt the intuition trade of the entente allies in this country h. 1915 by fomenting strikes The number of defendants was reduced from eight to seven through dismissal by the court of the indictment against Frank s. Monnett, former attorney general of Ohio.
 Judge Cush1nan ruled that the gov ernment, which closed it's case yester- hay, had not offered sufficient evil hence to link MT. Monnett with the alleged conspiracy.
 It was expected Rintelen would be the first to offer his defense, but his counsel announced that he would not %controvert the governments case fur kher than he has in cross examinatino pr expects to do in summing up.'
 It has been supposed Rintelen would make startling revelations of pro- German activities in this country.
 The unexpected announcement by Rintelen's counsel confused the plans of the defense, as Lamar was to open his case after Rintelen finished. Judge Cushman told Lamars counsel, when he protested he was not prepared to proceed at once, and threatened that he would lose his chance to make a defense unless he complied

 Lamar's counsel called as first wit ness Henry B. Martin, a defendant but on advice of counsel, Martin 6e- clined to take the witness chair until he did so in his own behalf MT Monnett was then called as Lamar's first witness.
 Monnett said that, as one of the at torneys for Labors National Peace Council, he prepared opinions in re- gard to the munitions traffic and as tc the Anglo-French loan from the point of view of neutrality and in regard tc the legality of certain measures the council contemplated.
