next spring and summer? More men are in the army
more men are in factories fewer will be available for
farm work.

spring greater crops will require bigger
buildings The old hog house is no longer safe or too
much labor goes into the cleaning of wood floors In
stable, hog house and chicken house.
tbs MONTH AND NEXT YOU CAN BUILD SAFELY
improvements made now will cost least and later
labor shortage will not force you to let construction go
over for a year.
You need improvements to take care of bigger
crops and reduce costs.

ton work being done by Prof. Macy
Campbell Of the State Teachers col
lege, Cedar Falls, and II. NJ. Gaines,
organizers respectively of War Savings
Societies In the schools and in the in
dustrial establishments Of the state,
Iowa stands an excellent chance Of
creeping into second or even first place
among the states in the formation Of
War Savings Societies.
Mr.. Gaines now is on II tour of the
state in the work of organizing So
cieties in the labor unions and factor
les. He already has visited four cities

wards of fifty societies, has left be-
hind him In each place men who will
carry on the work of organization.
Prof. Campbell is reporting the or

week in the schools of the state.
Iowa's quota of societies is 1922. At
the rate they are being formed it will
not be long before the quota is reached.
Prof. Campbell predicts that it will be
doubled.

SLUM IS GOOD ENOUGH
FOR MCINTYRE GIRLS.

Stun for the last couple of weeks was
the way the Salvation. Army sisters
Misses Gladys and Irene Mcintyre OF
Mount Vernon, N. ", replied to the
question as to whether they had good
food ut the front.
Miss Irene, with her sleeves rolled
up to her elbows and -four spattered Ov'
er apron, did the talking, as she rolled
doughnut dough and cut out dOughnuts
while Miss Gladys fried them in the
outdoor kettle they had arranged over
an open fire. They had no stove at this
hut
I'VE had to make the most of the
situation out here" said Miss Irene.
when we came out there, was nothing
to cook with at all. So we built sort
of campfire place. We haven't made Il
pie for three weeks because we haven't
any oven. Wen be forgetting how, il
they don't get us an oven. But the m.s
here get lots of dOughnuts.
'.It's little harder work here than
where we were before. In the daytime
the only road to this little taxered
town is under constant observation If
the boches, and it's impossible to rrins
supplies except at night. They don't
bring any more than necessary. SO we
have had little fresh food or canned
fruit-it's mostly Stun, just as the boys
have, but it's plenty
'.Slum" is army stew. The sisters
could have had special food. a fact they
neglected to tell. But they refused it,
when the soldiers were denied 'resh
food. "Slumv was good enough, they
said.

Food Administration Gives
Out Fall and Winter
Food Program for
More Economy.
ASK. FOR COOPERATION
New Kitchen Card to be Dis
tributed About Oc-
tober 20.

Mrs. Alexander Groves, county chair
man of the womans committee OF the
council of national defense, is in re-
Ceipt of the food administrations fall
and winter program, which is admit
teddy far more difficult this year than
last. The program, in sentence, is to
reduce the consumption of foOdstuffs in
this country all along the line to the
actual maintenance of health. In other
words, activities,are to be devoted en-
tirely to the suppression of over eating,
unnecessary eating and all waste of
foodstuffs.
Inasmuch as the housewife has prac-
tically the control Of the use of food
stuffs iii her household, it is essential
that she be awakened to- the necessity
of guarding the consumption Of food
stuffs along the lines indicated. In so
fur as food activities are concerned, the
following schedule has been prepared
and State Food Administrator Deems
solicits the consideration and whole
hearted support Of it:
Food Schedule.
j, IA new home card, sometimes
known as the kitchen card, is now in
the course of preparation and will be
distributed to all housewives OF the
state through the organization Of the
woman's committee. The cards will
be ready about the Goth of October.
In the distribution Of these cards, it
is earnestly requested that the, mem
bers of the county organization person
ally visit each housewife in her limited
district and hand this card to her with
an explanation as to its meaning. The
administration asks that this personal
visitation be made because it knows
that only by personal visitation and
discussion can this message be impress
sed upon each housewife with sufficient
weight that she will take cognizance Of
it and will the more readily yield t.

countys quota is 1850 pounds and this
mount must be collected during the
next day or two. The campaign for
raising the ten million pounds Of old

Save On Sugar.

Are you using more than two pounds
Of sugar per person per month or are
you saving from your due allotment of
sugar? Do you still use two teaspoons
of sugar in your coffee and let one
teaspoon Of it go into the dish wate.'?
Some people are at the present. time
asking why we must save on sugar and
why can't we have all we want? Over
seventy-five per cent Of sugar used in
the United States is delivered by ships.
The total consumption of the U. s. is
about 100000 tons raw sugar which
means 4.25O,OOO tons of refined sugar.
If our coasts were blockaded as Ger
many's now are, we would have for
the use of people of the United States,
one pound of sugar for every four we
now USE Reducing the sugar con-
sumption here means that we help sup
ply the great need Of France, England
and Italy. 1t also means the cOnserva-
ton of ships. The army and navy
have sent an S. o. s. call for ships.
Save our ships to transport troops
and munitions so as to keep the fight
ing front where it is and not allow it
to extend to our own homes" is the
message. There is ample sugar in the
world for all requirements-in fact,
there is a large surplus but on account
of the ship shortage it is not available
for use in this country. In Java there
is Is per cent of the worlds cane crop,
but it is too far removed to be of use to
the z. S. or to the Allies. 1t requires
$50 to 100 days for Il ship to go to
Java and return.
We as citizens of the U. S. sent 14O,-
100000 bushels of wheat from our
savings to our Allies. Can we not do
just as well if not better with the
sugar? England serves no sugar at
her hotels. If people want it they must
take it with them. France had before
the war G25,OOO acres devoted to sugar
production but now about twO-thirds
of that land has been destroyed by the
Germans. We can and we will help
make up the needs of the Allies in tn:
sugar situation.

Delivers Fine Sermon at I'm
ion Mass Meeting at
Methodist Church
Sunday Evening.
THE CHRISTIANS DUTY
Christians Should Stand by
Allies in Great
Struggle.

A union mass meeting was held at
the Methodist church last evening as
the final meeting Of the Iowa confer
ence OF the y. b. church, which had
been in session here since Wednesday.
Bishop Kephart of Kansas City, father
of Mrs. J. w. Stiverson of this city and
who presided at the sessions Of the
conference. preached the sermon. The
church was packed and an overflow
meeting was held at the Christian
church.
The meeting at the Methodist church
was in charge of Rev. Stiverson, who
read the scripture lesson. The opening
prayer was made by DR.. Drury of
Cedar Rapids. Following song by
the male chorus, an offering was taken
which went toward defraying the ex-
penses of the conference.
Bishop Speaks.
Bishop Kephart took as the subject
for his evenings discourse, THE
Christians Duty in the Present World
Crisis" He held that the world is now
passing through two-fOld crisis. One
has to do with the political, civil and
religious life and the second is strictly
military. But more significant Just
now is the struggle Of ideas. We no
longer discuss the responsibility for
the war; We know. We have seen.
We know of the kaisers dream of
world empire and Neitzche's doctrine
Of the German superman. The allies
are confronted by a philosophical sys-
TEN, the most diabolical in civilized
time and more dangerous to morality,
and civilization than the utmost mill
tary preparation. No place in the
world is safe while this teaching is
abroad.
Christianity Opposes.
Against s....;: Gerfhan teaching. the
allies. through their spokesman, Wood
row Wilson, have set forth the highest
idealism of Christian civilization. It
is kulture VS.. Christianity, hate VS..
love Before us, if Germany wins, lies
/ blacker and darker age than the
world has ever known. And il Ger
many fails the coming age will he one
Of the greatest in light, which is re-
aected in the cross of Calvary.
The Christians duty is to stand by
the allies until complete victory is
won and our flag floats over Berlin.
All honor to the boys who give their
lives to protect all that the world holds
dear.
The Christian must also stand by the
government. This is no time to be
rocking the boat" Every effort
should be put forth to make dominant
everywhere the ideals of International
justice. Churches need, as never be-
fore, to pray and strive for the spirit
that was in Christ Jesus.
Following another number by the
male chorus, DR.. Il. T. Chipperfield
pronounced the benedictiOn.
