COFFEE COOLERS.

The man who doesn't boost knocks,
That's human nature.
II you want 10 help the kaiser,
knock the government. Knock the
president. Knock congress. Knock
conscr,p,5on. Lay off the loan.
There's only two sides to this thing.
We are either on one side or the other.
We have to be. It has gone beyond
any individual choice. We are either
actively supporting America or mega
lively supporting the kaiser. II we
knock every movement Of the govern
ment in this war We are active agents
Of the kaiser. We may not believe it,
may not realize it--but it's so. The
analysis proves it as plain as any
chemical reaction ever attained in the

cooler and the enemy the enemy held
the greatest respect Of the real men.
Ask any old soldier about it.
Those fellows were "deadwood.'
They were in the way. They ate a

They were worse than useless. They

INSURING THE SOLDIERS.


So much is to be said in favor of
giving the boys an insurance policy at
a low premium cost rather than to PEN
sion them. it is to be hoped that Secre-
tarv NcAdoo will be able to finance ais
government insurance company.
Our own experience With pensions IS
that they can not be made to fairy
care for the disabilities Of the soldier
nor TO provide fairly for those depend
ent upon him. They are distributor 100

those who receive them.
Secretary McAdoo proposes 10 issue

And when dear, kind Uncle Lucky

Of his bedroom window and called
down.:

But hate to have you blue,
How can you smile when mile on mile
You've tramped the whole day thru.
I'll toll my trusty Japanese
To make for you q cup OF tea,
And give to you a bone or two.
And then you won't feel quite so blue"
And then that yellow tramp dog
barked with Joy and this made the Jap
smile and he took out OF the icebox
whole leg Of roast lamb and gave It
to that poor. hungry tired yellow dog
tramp. Wasn't he generous with dear.

IOWA MILK PRODUCTS.

In the report Of the census depart
is offered which shows that the total
value Of products for dairy industry
increased from s15,O2s,32s in 1904 to
s27,SO5,s6S in 1914 or S3.7 per cent.
Iowa was the leading state in the
rnaAsfa cture of butter in 1899 while
N 1904 it was surpassed by Wisconsin.
In 1909 and 1914 Iowa ranked third in
the production of this product, Wis
consin and Minnesota ranking first and
second. respectively in both years.
As the manufacture Of butter pre-
dominated among the dairy industries
of the state, it is natural that the use
OF cream reported as material should
greatly exceed that OF milk, since Dut-
ter is a cream consuming branch OF
the industry. For convenience OF
transportation and ease in handling, it
lent for the farmers to send the cream
instead CT the ilk 10 the butter factory.
Of late years this has been greatly
facilitated by the hand separator"
the use Of which has become very gen.
erai.
The output of butter increased from
71,lS1,766 pounds, valued at s14,330.754
in 1904 t. 92,405,S pounds valued at
s2J,011.327, in 1914, the percentages OF
increase during the decade being 29.S
and 745, respectively. OF the total
quantity of butter manufactured in
1914, the amount packed solid-that is
but up in firkins or tubs-contributed
II per cent; however, this variety
shows a slight decrease during the five
year period 1909-1s14 while that in
prints or rolls shows substantial in
crease.
There was a considerable decrease in
the production Of cheese, during the
decade, 19o4-1aI4' which decreased
from 2,82s,745 pounds, valued at $751;
O7S, in 1904, to s55,19S pounds, valued
at s125,171, in 1914; the percentages of
decrease being Co.'S and sos per cent.
respectively.

LOOKING AHEAD.

| The farmers Of Iowa should read the
remarks of the president of powerful
banking Institution in Chicago and see
| the nature of the demand that is TO be
made upon congress in December to
reach the farming classes with more
taxes in case the Liberty Loan goes
slow in the rural districts.
E. D. Hurlbert, president of the Mer-
chants Loan and Trust Company, Of
! Chicago. is quoted in Chicago news
! papers as saying:
The one weak spot in the situation
is the attitude Of farmers. They will
neither buy Liberty bonds, pay taxes.
sell their produce, or fight. l have
asked many out of town bankers who
have called here about farmers paving
! taxes, and ! have learned of but one
instance in which a farmer has paid an
income tax. They have prohted thru
out the entire period of the war. but
are unwilling TO help the government
in any of the four ways mentioned.
The controller Of the currency has
estimated the gross income OF the
United States TO he about $4,000. 0oo,-
coo. OF this he estimates farm produce
and animals to bring a gross return o.
about ST. 1000 600 600 The farms rs, &C
Cording 10 this estimate. are getting
42is per cent of the country's income
and giving nothing out OF II. II is left
:or the government to raise taxes and
sell its bonds 10 the remaining 51i2 per
cent while the class which as whole
has prof;ed most escapes any huTd Il.
The farmer has been pam pered oY
politicians until ne seems 10 feel he is
in a preferred class, and, as l said. he
doesn't want to buy Liberty bonds, he
doesn't want 10 fight, and he avoids his
income tax Il Is about time the farmer
should appreciate his position in the
country and help do his part in a war
as much for his benefit as for those
who are putting up the money and do
ing the fighting for him
Many farmers can justly re-
sent the charge OF Stacker hurled at
them by this man powerful in finance
for many Of them are buying
Liberty bonds. they are meeting the
consCription and they will pay their
income tax nov that they have tax
able incomes bu. the rich men Of this
country have been hit hard in the new

congress is to be over ways and means

country who prove to be slackers on
the bond issues. Since these enormous
war taxes have been levied upon swol-
len incomes the multi millionair>s
have been driven out Of the bond mar

to pay their taxes. The people at

QCedar Rapids Republican,
A life insurance investigator SAYS
that ninety-two out of 100 women who
are left life insurance lose every cent
of It within seven years. and many
manage TO lose much earlier in the
game. They lose 1t because they at

do not understand. We were once told
about Cedar Rapids woman who had

along and told her that she was nor

were making :. s. and even 10 per cent.
She was persuaded almost to believe
that her bankers even had been de-

Of the man who came along To tell her
fairy stories Of finance. and within two

Investments that were not safe. she

That Is one thing about govern
