unpatriotic action rests no more
against the farmers who bought their
coal than against all others who filled
their bins.
why not get at the meat Of the mat
ter instead OF seeking a scapegoat on
the farm? There is no lack Of coal In
the Iowa mines. AS the mayors as
sembled at the conference referred to
put 1t, there has been too much
passing the buck" The committee is
reported as having expressed the opin-
ion that apparently the miners are
willing to work If permitted to do So"
Best investigate the mines and oper-
alton of the mines before suggesting
that the farmer shall pick up chips
where he cut down the willow hedge
three years ago. Pass the buck to
the place where it belongs. AS Gov
ernor Frank Lowden, Of Illinois, is in
Des Moines today Iowa might receive
much valuable suggestion and along
this line by consulting him. Lowden

for the entire nation was $50 per capita
and Iowa actually responded with $40
per capita, Iowa is financially able to
do its full quota OF S55 per capita
and should have done so. FIT. Dodge
and Webster county are typical. There
half of the people of Webster county
live in TT. Dodge and half outside but
the farmers outside are much more

nine tenths of the population OF any

SECS. 400, There are 1904 farms in
Webster county and the average from
each farm was little more than 500.
Any farmer in Webster county could
have borrowed that amount from his
bank at per cent on the bonds and
the bonds would have paid 4 per cent
so the average net contribution to help
win the war was 81 per year loss in
interest for each quarter section farm
in Webster county worth $4,000 OF
any real estate mans money to buy.
What was true Of Webster county
was true of rural communities all over
Iowa altho there were notable eXcep-
tons. Wherever a village banking
community met its full quota or more
its duty was discharged honorably but
wherever il failed its people should
feel ashamed Of themselves and Of
their neighbors.
There is another bond issue coming
in February. Then the Iowa farmer
will have gone to market at war prices.
His war profit will be safely in the
bank. If any rural community fails to
meet its full quota of war bonds then
it will deserve a land tax and a re-
duced price on hogs fixed by the gov
eminent as its penalty and congress
will be in session to see that something
of the kind is administered.

efficient advertising as tremendous

A good many newspapers of the
country, at the risk of being thought
merely greedy, advocated before the
second bond issue was put on the mar
ket a nation wide campaign OF adver-
tising-newspaper advertising ana

the government to act on the sugges-

but carried in it's newspapers paic ao-
vcrtisements Of the Liberty loan. In
some cases they were paid FOR by ousi-
ness firms or by individuals having no
close connection with the selling cara

business men who headed selling corn
mittees bought the space. Always the
motive was the same; IL was the con-
viction of patriotic men. based on bust
ness experience, that the best possible
publicity for such a proposition as the
Liberty bonds. without even excepting
publicity in the news columns. was
the kind that could be procured thru
forceful newspaper displays"
The newspapers gave all possible
free publicity to the loan. There never
was any intention Of holding back in
that regard. There never will be. But
the Journal. for one. wishes to go on
record as being of the belief that one
of the very helpful factors in Liberty
bond campaign was the newspaper ad-
vertising that was done. 1t Is still OF
the opinion that instead of leaving this

tr.ots 1t ought to be at least directed
by imaginative. expert advertising men

And to the extent that advertising
proves effective 1t ought to be employ

In Sioux City 1t Is to be noted that
the Liberty loan team which raised by
far the greatest sum was the team
which made by far the greatest use OF
advertising space. That does not nee
essarily prove everything, but at least
it raises the suspicion that men and
women who know how to get the mon

the success OF national war loans. The
newspapers realize the necessity OF
winning the war perhaps better than
the members OF any other class. They
are disposed to give space, cash. every

not the least inclination to place minor

EASTERN PROVINCIALISM.
TBurlington Hawkeye.1

Little they know. 1t seems to be
largely a matter of guess work. Some
body from the east comes to Iowa and
stays here a few hours and then goes
back home, and tells them down there
| how there is no enthusiasm in Iowa
| and the middle west. And then some
other easterner ventures into the far
west, discovers Iowa. remains in the
state few hours, and then goes back
home and tells the people there how
the middle west is to be depended upon
and is now doing more than her share.
Gets to be bit tiresome. Just like
the fellow who is ever talking Of his
patriotism. Just as II anybody had
doubted it. Must be moved to speech
by his own doubts.
IN CENTERv1LLE COAL FIELDS.
tCenterville Iowegian.1
Following the announcement OF
| Monday that coal has been raised 40
cents on the ton, local operators were
| wondering whether or not this raise
would effect the local coal field. 1t Is
the general superstition among opera
tors here that this will affect only the
thick vein fields, the mines in those
fields can be operated at much less
expense than the mines in the thin
vein regions, such as the field here.
1t is of a general opinion that the OPP
orators here will be allowed at least
6O-cent increase over the present
minimum price whenever the new
wage scale, which is now under ad-
justment, goes into effect. The fact
ale - ho< al In
crease Is granted. the operators must
either run their mines at a loss or
cease operation. There Is no mine
run coal in this field, but under the de-
mands of the miners they must be
paid on a mine run basis, which
boosts the mining cost of about $l.55
per ton. In addition 10 this there is
| Increased wages OF the day men and
| operators feel that they can not oper-
ate their mines at smaller figure.
| This would make the minimum price
| to the consumer 81 per ton. Opera
| tors point out that they are at an
added expense on account Of being I'M
able to get miners. Some Of them
have their day crews reduced TO .

holsters and car leaders busy. Under
working rules a man can not be
changed from one task to another For
instance a driver is a driver, and can
do no other work. II there Is not enough
men to keep him on the cars, he must
sit until he is called. One mine in
particular reports that last winter they
ran on the average Of 160 to $50
cars a day. This winter they are run
ming from 100 to ITO cars a day. with
the same day force. Shortage OF
miners is the only reason for these
conditions, and there seems no way to
relieve the situation. Some operators
are Of the opinion that the government
is intending. thru the measures they
are enacting, to make inducements
so strong for the miner that many
will leave other vocatlons to enter the
mines, and thus relieve the situation
This. however. is merely conjecture
but seems reasonable.
