nMoTHER is GONE. Bull

An amusing legend greets the tour.
Sal on signboard near Thornburg. On
what was formerly the entrance gate
TO a fine old-time country school house
the name still remains. Prairie Belle
Some wag with a most artistic touch
of the paint brush has added below
the name: Mother is gone, but am
still here" The sequel to the legend
lies in the fact that several districts
voted to build large consolidated
school house in Thornburg. Friends OF
Prairie Belle opposed the consolida.
tion but were out-voted. When the old
school house was sold they asked that
the name be left on the gate. This
was done to heal the sore spot, with
the above results.

LET The GOOD WORK GO ON.

1t is to be feared that some of our
good Iowa people have failed to ap-
preciate the true spirit and purpose
of the Red Cross association and
much less the magnitude and import
ance of the work it is undertaking
to perform in connection with the
war.
Iowa has a population of two and a
quarter million people. These peo-
pie have more wealth per capita than
those of any other state in the union.
We have more automobiles per cap
tia than the people of any other
state. Because we lead all other
states in the production of foodstuffs
we are making more money out of
war prices than any other state ex.
cept those in which ammunition fac
tories and steel plants are located.
Corn is worth around $1.65 now and
hogs bring $3.50. Beef, wheat, po-
tatoes and other produce of which
we have large excess for sale are in
the same price class.
The Red Cross association recently
asked the people of the country to
see what they could do in the way of
raising one hundred million dollars
in a weeks campaign. This gave
the erroneous impression to many
that this was all the money the as
sociation wanted or could use. AS
matter of fact this was Just test
to determine whether or not the Red
Cross association could go ahead and
make plans on the promise that the
American people were generous and
would support the association. The
association could wisely use ten
times the sum asked for and il will
do so if the war continues and the
people will respond. Every dollar
contributed to this association furn-
ishes ii the means with which to as
sist in repairing the damage done in
the war. This damage is in part ir-
reparable. A destroyed life cannot
be restored. But broken men,
broken hearts. destroyed homes and
disease ridden communities can be
improved and helped. This is the
mission of the Red Cross.
In the weeks campaign the Off
GERS of the national association fixed
one hundred million as goal to be
attained that week. This was In no
sense designed as finality--it was

oskALoosA STANDS ALONE.

"Oskaloosa is the only county seat
town in Iowa which maintains com.
plete laboratory" says the Deep Riv-
er Record. 1T is more efficient in
that respect than Des Moines. In
this laboratory the city's water is
tested and posted every day, den
tai department is maintained and
one day each week doctor is present
to treat free of charge the teeth of all
children who can not afford the lux
ury of dental parlor treatment.
This is fine and shows spirit of
helpful progress on the part of the
city. 1t is reaching right out into
the realm of human helpfulness and
establishing precedent which every
city and town in Iowa should emulate
as far as possible.

that they are by no means certain OF
getting that many unless the dry vote
turns out in force.
Walter Anderson of Greens county,
another prominent dry" is also some
what doubtful as to the result of the
vote in October.
1.-The vote must be gotten out in the
dry counties in order to insure a vic
tory for the amendment" says Ander-
son.
Dean C. F. Curtiss, of the Iowa State
College at Ames believes that the
serious thinking people will see that
the amendment is carried because OF
the good effects of prohibition, and
the war.
1--WE have never had a state fair like
the present one, and the absence OF
booze has been marked in its effect
upon the crowds.
State fair jags instead of being
numerous were few and far between
and we have never had as prosperous
looking bunch before"
Smith Brookhart of Washington is
confident that the amendment will
carry. I'VE will sweep the state by
big majority" he declares. In my
part of the state the amendment will
carry two or three to one all we have
got to do is to get out the vote too
cinch the booze question for all time. y

CAUSE FOR WAR.

The new German policy swept ev'
cry restriction aside. Vessels of ey,
cry kind, whatever their flag, their
character, their cargo, their destina
ton, their Grand, have been ruth,
lessly sent to the bottom without
warning and without thought of help
or mercy for those on board, the
vessels of friendly neutrals along
with those of belligerents. Even
hospital ships and ships carrying re-
lief to the sorely bereaved and strick.
en- people of Belgium, though the
latter were provided with safe con
duct through the prescribed areas by
the German Government itself and
were distinguished by unmistakable
marks of identity, have been sunk
with the same reckless lack of com
passion or of principle. I" 80
81 am not now thinking of the loss
of property involved, immense and
serious as that is, but only of the
wanton and wholesale destruction OF
the lives of non-combatants, men, wO
men and children, engaged in pur.
suits which have always, even in the
darkest periods of modern history
been deemed innocent and legitimate
Property can be paid for; the lives
of peaceful and innocent people can
not be. The present German sub
marine warfare against commerce is
a warfare against mankind. Wood
