IOWA THRASHERS
SAVING MUCH FOOD
FORMED INTO ASSOCIATIONS TO
AVOID WASTE IN THRASHIN0,
BY FOOD ADMlNlSrRA-
TOR DEEMS.

One Of the most important activities
Of the United States food admlpistra-
ton for Iowa, under direction Of Ad-
ministrator J. F. Deems, has been the
formation Of associations Of thrasher-
men in every county in the state.
More than $50 900 farmers and other
workers participate in the harvest In
Iowa every year, and the food admin
istration devised the idea Of amalga-
mating them into associations for their
mutual benefit.
The primary purpose for forming
the organization was to save grain.
The food administration has no other
interest in it. It hoped to save the
wheat and all other grains fit for hu-
man consumption, In order to increase
the food supply Of the country on be-
half Of our soldiers.
Statistics show that from 8 to 6 per
cent Of the wheat harvest has been
lost in former years by careless meth
DDS Of thrashing. Iowa has a 10000
600 bushel wheat crop this Year. By
saving 3 per cent by more effective
methods of thrashing the farmers Of
the state would increase their product
100000 bushels, which at current
prices would mean more than $780,
600 to them. As a matter Of fact, the
saving will amount to very much more
than that.
One question that has arisen among
the thrashermen, with which the food
administration has absolutely nothing
to do, is the question Of prices for
thrashing. This Is matter over which
the food administration has absolutely
no authority and 1t has not permitted
discussion Of the subject In any Of
the meetings Of thrashermen which it's
representatives have attended It IL
q matter wholly for the thrashers and
the grain owners to decide. The food
Administrations interest In the subject
has been solely for the purpose Of saw
ing the grain. s.
The United States food administra-
ton early issued instructions to the
food administrators. giving them dis
erection to increase the supply Of food
for thrashers, In order to make the
conditions Of the harvest satisfa Glory.

Saint venerated Every,.here.

England was not the only nation
that fought under the banner of st.
George, nor was the Order Of the Gar
ter the only chivalric institution in his
honor. Sicily, Arragon, Valencia
Genoa, Malta, Barcelona, looked to him
as their guardian saint. A Venetian
Order Of St. George was created IN
1900, a Spanish In 1917, an Austrian IN
147O, a Genoese In 1472 and a Roman
in 1892. Besides these there are three
of more modern date-Bavaria In 1729,
Russia In 1707 and Hanover In 1889.

MILK FOR KlDDIES
ESSENTIAL; DEEMS
UNITED STATES FOOD ADMINS.
TRAITOR PUTS w. F. HARPER
IN CONTROL OF ICE AND
MILK IN IOWA.

J. F. Deems, United States food ad-
ministrator for Iowa, recently named
w. f. Harper Of Ottumwa as chief of
the ice and milk division Of the food
administration In this state. Mr.. Har-
per has made special study Of the
milk and ice conditions In Iowa and
has been engaged all summer In so
adjusting control Of the Ice business
as to secure an abundant supply at
reasonable prices for Consumers, and
In conjunction with the state food and
dairy commissioner, controlling milk
supplies 80 that there will be no suffer
ing among Iowa babies this year for
lack Of Iced milk.
Mr.. Harper has held 1 number Of
hearings relative to prices fixed by ice
companies for service In this state, and
has recently established reasonable
basis Of charges which has been salts
factory to consumers as well as to
those engaged in business, the expenses
of which have been materially increas-
ed by the war.
Mr.. Harper has issued card Of in-
structions to consumers which en-
bodies all the information which ex-
perts have discovered relative to the
economical use of ice. He has asked
consumers to remember that men have
been taken for United States service
In large numbers from Ice companies.
During the past week six altogether
have been taken from one company.
This condition affects service and con-
sumers are asked to remember this
fact. In this connection Mr.. Harper
directs the attention of the users OF
ice to the fact that the coolest place
In refrigerator is at the bottom. This
bias been demonstrated by experience.
People who put butter and milk next
to the Ice on the theory that that 10
the coolest place are making q mis-
take.
Mr.. Harper advises against the use
Of paper around Ice.
Iowa people who have complaints
with respect to the practices Of the
ice and milk companies may CORE
spond with Mr.. Harper at Ottumwa,
who will undertake adjustments within
the powers fixed by Food Administra-
tor Deems.

Worlds Debt 70 Ar3bians.

The world is indebted to the Ara
bians for a greater number Of sciences
than today is generally admitted. The
Arabs were In some sort the discov-
erers of botany and chemistry. Agrt-
culture was studied by them with
knowledge of climate, soil and the
growth Of plants. From the eighth to
the eleventh century the Arabs estab-
lished medical schools in the principal
cities Of their domlnions and pub
lished valuable works on medical sub
jects.

Stranger than fiction is the story
told in London Of how a missing will

split down the center, and secret
cabinet revealed. There were found

community effort as 1t does to the in
lividual activities. Personal service
and money must be preserved for the
greater needs Of the future.
This idea that community resources
must be protected develops the very
conclusive opinion that frequent cam
paigns in which teams canvass the
community for money must be elimi-
mated. A small group of people can
not indefinitely give so much Of their
time and services. The present system
seems certain to break down or fail
to reach the demands of the future.
Some plan must be devised that will
enlist the support of every individual
or family in the community. Too many

some agency that will capably cO-ordi-

scores of communities in the United
States. Other hundreds and thousands
of cities are coming to this point. The
doubt and perplexity Of the present
must be evolved into enthusiasm and
