dent has named and to examine the

In the circumstances We can hardly
expect that the German Government
will help to hang itself by promoting
the publication of the Presidents
peace terms, but soon or late the
meaning of his message is bound to
make it's way into the minds of the
German people, In the meantime the

It is necessary only to read the COM

VIE FOOD PRODUCTION LAW.

On the 10th Of last month the Presi-
dent signed the Food Production Act,
which is quite different law from the
Food Control measure which is being
administered by Mr.. Hoover.
Under this Food Production Law the
United States will employ county
agents for nearly every agricultural
county in the entire country. The
vast sum Of 1,346,40O has been ap-
propriated to stimulate the produc-
tionsand conservation of food stuffs.
1owa's share of the appropriation
may amount to 100000, or even more.
There are 80 counties in this state,
and 100000 equally divided between
them would give each county more
than $4,000.
And this new law also provides for
the employment of women county
agents for demonstration work in the
homes of rural communities, and sim
liar agents are to be placed in towns
and cities for the first time.
Hog and poultry production is to be
stimulated as far as practicable. And
the increased production of dairy pro-
ducts is to be encouraged. Steps are
to be taken to help combat the ami
NAL and plant diseases.
Farmers are to be assisted in the
marketing Of their products, so that
producers and consumers can be better
informed as to the supply and deman4,
and enabled to buy and sell to the
best advantage.
Iowa is an agricultural state and
it's people are vitality interested in this
new Food Production statute. 1t be-
hooves all of us to get busy and get
to know more about what the Federal
government is trying to do for us.

WE ARE COMING.

We are coming, Woodrow Wilson.
Ten hundred thousand strong,
To drive the tyrant from the sea
And right a worldwide wrong.
We hail from old New England,
From Dixie and the West,
And if you'll furnish sword and gun
Well guarantee the rest.
We are marching in the morning
With knapsack and canteen,
AS happy as an Irishman
A-wearin' of the green.
We are marching in the darkness
For freedom and the right,
With the stars upon our banner
Our only beacon light.
We shall go where duty calls us,
Our standard high unfurled,
An emblem of goodwill to men,
The freedom of the world.

DAIRY SUPPLY SHORTAGE.

The Food Administration has is
sued the following statement on dairy
conditions:
Milk and butter supplies are de-
creasing in the United States, while
our population is increasing. The
dairy herds of Europe are dimini III
ing rapidly because of the conditions
being created by war. and there is
no probability of Improvement in
these conditions. The dairy prob
lem in this country. therefore, is not
only a war emergency problem hut
one that will continue after the war.

SOME POLITICAL ECONOMY.
(From Official Bulletin

(FrOm Off1clal Bulletln.)
The argument has been advanced
that the wealth and resources of the
United States are impaired to the
extent of all the money spent by the
Government for war purposes. The
argument is very unsound. There
is sharp contrast between cost to
the Government and cost to the peo-
pie of the country.
The United States has sold $4,000
900 900 worth of liberty loan bonds
to the people of the United States and
therefore owes $2,0OOO00,000 more
than it did few months ago. When
the money for the bonds has been
collected in full and been expended
in full the matter will stand in this
shape:
The people of the United States
will have loaned to their Govern
ment $4,000, 100000 in return for which
they will have received $2,0O0,000,-
900 worth of liberty loan
bonds, which is as valuable Sc
curity as the world affords. More
over, they will have in their pockets
or banks the $2,Ooo,Ooo,o0O which they
loaned their Government The Gov
eminent will have expended a part Of
this money itself, and those Euro
pean nations engaged in war with
Germany, whose obligations our Gov
eminent has purchased with part Of
the money realized from the sale OF
liberty loan bonds, will have expend-
ed the other part, and all OF 1t will
have been spent in America for Ameri-
can products and in payment of
American wages.
The resources of the Nation, it's
capital stock, so to speak, will not
have been impaired at all. Our
farms, our mines, our factories, in
fact all of our fixed property and in
dustries, will remain intact. Our
people WILL SlLup1y nave oOlO oOAAO u
the annual products Of the country,
the products of its mines, and pro-
ducts of its factories.
Thus, the Government Will have
value received for the money it bor-
rowed from the people and the peo-
pie will have value received for the
money they loaned the Government
and the products they sold their Gov
ernment and the European nations
engaged in war with Germany.
OF course, the United States is go
ing to pay these bonds at maturity
and is going to pay interest on them
in the meanwhile. It is going to pay
part with the money it will later col
lect from our debtor European Gov
ernments engaged in war with Ger
many; it is going to pay part with
money raised with taxation. 1t Is
not going to pay them out of the
capital Of the people of the United
States. The money is to come from

the annual income and production Of

$50, 900, 100000 and the mineral pro-
duction $4,000, 100000. The profits of
converting raw material into finished
products amount annually to 100000
100000 These are just some of our
sources of annual income.

EDITOR REWARDED FOB PUBLIC
SERVICE.

Abraham Simmer, the noted lover Of
mankind who recently died in Dubu-

ties during his life.
In like manner he disposed of hun
dreds of thousands of dollars by his
will, making one exception in favor
of the editor of the Bremen County
Independent. This is the exception
to which reference is made:
Il give and bequeath to Joseph F.
Grave, of Waverly, Iowa, Of the Bre-
mer County Independent, the sum Of
$1,000 as an earned reward for his

TO THE GERMAN PEOPLE.
(From New York Worldly


Nominally President Wilson's reply
to the vaticans peace proposals is ad-
dressed to the Pope, but actually it is
addressed to the German people.
It is to them that the President has
spoken, and the first question that in
evitably arises is whether the German
government will permit the publica-
ton throughout Germany Of the full
text OF the note.
When the President delivered his
War Address to Congress, reciting the
crimes committed against the United
States by German autocracy and the
aims and objects of this country in
accepting the challenge to war, only
one newspaper in Germany printed the
address, and that was done many days
aftey N was delivered. The others
published abbreviated and garbled YER
sions, and the great mass Of the Ger
man people are still in ignorance Of
the exact reasons why the United
States went to war.
