IOWA FAMRERS NOT RICH.

Waterloo, May Farmers Of
Iowa are not rolling in the wealth
of bulky incomes from the land, ac-
cording to J. J. Rainbow, county
auditor who says government in
spectors sent here to check up agri-
cultural returns are finding few till
ers of the soil who must pay an in
come tax.
The reason that incomes on the
farm rarely rise above $4,000 a
year, he says, is due to the fact that
on many farms the tax amounts to
81 an acre, farm help commands
large wages, all kinds Of feed is ex-
pensive and mortgages must be re-
duced and the interest paid
The inspectors check over the tax
rolls, the crop returns and any 9TH
err sources which might be valuable
in showing a farmers income.

DOG ATTACKS CHILD.
Tears OF Large Chunk of Skin From

Dickens, Ia, May 14.-Last Tues
day while Ted Weber, living two
miles east of Dickens, was in the
barn doing his chores his little son,
Forrest, who was playing outside,
was suddenly attacked by their dog.
Swapping at the boys head, the dog
tore the flesh from a part of the scalp
and down in front of the ear. Mrs,
Weber heard her son screaming and
rushed to the little fellows rescue
and Mr.. Weber came running out
of the barn They soon had him in
their car and hurried him to Dickens.
Here a physician was called and
all hurried to Spencer for a consul
tation with Spencer physician.
Twenty-four stitches were taken in
the little fellows head and at pres
ent he is doing as we'll as could be
expected from so severe an accident.

MAKE SOUP BEANS SEED BEANS.
With Present Bean Shortage, Gro
ceryman May Become Seed
Man.

Because many seed men are limit
ing buyers TO one peck of bean seed
apiece on account OF the shortage,
the experiment truck crops man at
Iowa State college advises patrons
who plan to plant beans this year to
make a visit to the nearest grocery
and stock up there, in case the seed
company cannot supply them.
Grocery beans in most instances
will provide as good seed as those
bought from seed companies, he
says, but they should be tested be
fore they are planted. To do this, buy
a few, place them between moist
blotters and place in warm place
for a few days. If from 50 to so per
cent of the beans sprout it is safe to
buy seed from the lot. Be sure to
get small white navy beans, some
times called soup or pea beans, as
they mature better in Iowa than any
other variety.
Beans should not be planted be-
fore June, warns the truck crops
man. They should then be planted
on a SOL not too rich, but light or
sandy. Newly turned sod ground Is
good Do not plant beans on rich
bottom land.

TO REGISTER ALL

Governor Harding Plans to Make

Complete.
HOPES TO GET EVERY
ONE ENGAGED IN WORK
May Decide to Have Woman Regis
ter-Usefulness i'm Any PatriO-
tic Work During War Time
Will BE Considered
Badge of Honor in
Later Years.

Des Moines. May 14.-Governor
Harding has announced that he will
make an effort to secure the regis
tration of all of the men in Iowa be-
tween the ages of sixteen and sixty
five years and have them put down
in writing what kind of work they
can do. In this way he hopes to get
everyone engaged in something
which will count during the war. If
they can't shoulder a musket and go
to the front they may be able to help
produce stuff or do work outside
which counts. He says he is not sure
but that he might require the wo-
men also to register,
The governor told the food and
dairy inspectors in a brief address
he made to them that this nation is
facing the worst condition ever
known in it's history. He declared
that people in general did not real
ize the crisis which was upon this
country and those who have been liv-
ing in the lap of luxury may come
face to face with the agolies of war.
THE real patriot is the man who
is willing to go out and work any
place or do whatever he is assigned
to do" said the governor. In the
next three or five years it ought to
be a badge of honor for a man to be
engaged in useful, productive work.
The Germans with the submar-
ines are destroying more tonnage
than all of the allies together can
produce" he continued. 1--WE are
facing this problem of overcoming
this submarine warfare.
This is a time when there should
be absolute harmony between the
government and the state" he con-
tinued. This emergency should
bring the two together as never be-
fore
The governor emphasized ilcreas-
ed production as one of the essential
things now and urged the inspectors
of the dairy and food department to
use their special knowledge in aiding
in larger production of foodstuffs.

REGISTRATION DAY.
Many States Plan to Make 1t Day
of Fetes and Demonstrations.

Washington, d. c., May IL
Many states plan to make registra.
ton day for the new army conscrip-
tioa the occasion for fetes and patri-
otto demonstrations, according to
reports reaching the war department
today
THE spirit of patriotism seems to
have entered into the arrangements
for the occasion which have been
made by many of the state officials -
says war department statement is
sued Friday.
In one state, for instance, the
occasion in large part is to take on
the nature of a patriotic demonstra-
ton, sort of national fete day. In
many parts of the state there will be
barbecues and like affairs to draw
the people, so that those upon whom
the duty OF registration devolyes
will know that they have the sup
port of their fellows of all occupa-
tons, and of all ages.
"A report from another state is to
the effect that it hopes to clear up its
registration duties in such short or
der that it may lay claim to being
first in a race prompted by patriotic
duty. The men who must register
in accordance with the requirements
of the law will find registration easy.
THE questions which are to be an
swerel involve comparatively few
subjects: The name in full, the age
in years, the home address, the date
of birth, the quality of citizenship,
natural born, naturaliZed or the con-
dition of declaration of intention,
the place of birth, trade, occupation
or office, employment and by whom
employed, dependents if any, mar
ried or single, race, former military
service and where it was rendered
and lastly, claims of exemption from
draft with the specific grounds there
for
Several of the states have re-
lieved the government entirely OF
expense connected with the work OF
securing complete registration; in
fact, helpfulness seem to be common
to the country"

COLLEGES HIT HARD BY DRAFT.
Many Schools Practically Will be
Disrupted Under the Law.

Early consideration of the con-
scription bill makes it appear that
colleges and universities will be hit
harder than any other unit under the
draft of men from 81 to 80 years old.
1t seems probable, according to uni
versity men here, that many schools
for men will be practically disrupted,
while co-educational schools will
practically become schools for wo-
men.
At the University of Chicago, L.
600 men out of 1900 at the school
are eligible, while about $50 have
already enlisted in the officers corps,
militia or marines. At Northwestern
university more than so per cent of
the male enrolment of about 5000
are estimated to be eligible. The Uni
versity of Illinois has an eligible list
of approximately 500 now and 1000
men, approximately, have withdrawn
from school for military service since
April l.

WINTER EGGS AT SUMMER
PRICE.
Preserving Eggs by Waterglassing Is
One Step i'm Thrift Program.

One step in the thrift program
which can be taken right now by the
housewife is the waterglassing of
eggs to preserve them for winter use.
suggest the poultry men at Iowa
State college. 1t costs but a cent a
dozen to preserve eggs by this meth
cd, which will keep them in good
condition for more than a year. They
can be used to replace strictly fresh
eggs for nearly all purposes.
Buy waterglass, which costs from
6Oc to 81 gallon, at any drug
store; stir l part by measure into II
parts of boiled water, either hot or
cold. If mixed hot, allow mixture
to cool before using. Use only fresh
clean, unwashed, sound eggs; infer
tile eggs are best. The best quality
eggs are aid in April and May. Dis
card all dirty, stale, cracked and
thin, shelled eggs and all eggs that
float in the mixture.
Use an earthenware, glass or
wooden, but not a metal container.
Scald the vessel with hot water be-
fore using it. Then fill it about half
full with the waterglass mixture and
carefully lay the eggs in this. Keep
the liquid at least two inches above
the eggs at all times. Place in ga
cool, we'll ventilated place, such as a
cellar. One gallon of waterglass
will nike enough mixture to pre-
serve 70 dozen eggs.
