NEW SERIES OF w. s. s.
ISSUED FOR NEXT YEAR

A new series of war saving stamps
will be placed on sale early in 1919.
They will have maturity date of
Jan. /, 1924, and will undoubtedly
be issued on the same terms and in
the same manner las the series of
1918.
The new stamps will be blue in
color and will bear reproduction
of the head Of Benjamin Franklin.
The same thrift stamps and cards
will continue in use and will be eX-
changeable into the new series of
war stamps.
Though peace is assured it is es-
sential that war savings stamps re-
main on sale for at least another
year and not be redeemed.
Since the news of the signing of
the armistice there has been q de-
cided relaxation in the buying of
stamps and the move to cash stamps
is rapidly spreading. While it is
true the government has given the
holder the privilege of cashing
stamps on ten days notice, it is
really of no benefit to the govern
ment to purchase stamps then cash
them while the present need for
funds exists.

SHORT 12,OOO,OOO POUNDS.

Twelve million pounds less of but
ter have been made in Iowa this year
than in 1917 and fifteen million less
than in 1916, when 97,62S,7S
pounds were made, according to lat
est figures. High prices of feeds
and the scarcity of labor, coupled
with the fact that until recently the
prices of dairy production have not
increased in proportion to the cost
of production. have dealt the dairy
industry a more severe blow than
has been the lot OF any other phase
of farm industry i'm Iowa.
But now that the war is over, def
mite plans should be made at once for
the men who are milking for building
up and improving their dairy herds
and getting ready TO put dairying
back TO where it belongs.
Altho. some feeds are high and diff
ficult to get, labor will become more
and more plentiful as the men are re-
turned from the front and canton
ments. AS labor is a large factor in
dairying. the cost OF production will
decrease.
Prices now paid in most places
make it possible for the dairymen to
produce milk at a fair profit. At Mt
son City, the producers are receiving
$3.50 a hundred for So per cent
milk; at Des Moines, $3.50 for 35
per cent milk; at Marshalltown,
$3.50 for 35 per cent milk.
Allowance of five cents is made

angular court, 200 feet by 400 feet.
That the legislature will grant
funds in the future TO roof the court,
is the hope of the University. When
this is done the armory will be com
plete. Plans are for an arched roof
without central support. This would
mean that the arch would have to be
at least ninety feet high or the
height OF five or six story building.
During its occupancy by soldiers,
the inner court of the barracks was
to be used as drill grounds. AS an
armory, it will be useful for indoor
athletics.
University officials are also COZ
sidering a proposition by which the
barracks when completed would be
used as mems dormitories. All fresh
men women are now required to live
in university houses, and it is
thought that such a regulation will
soon be made to include first year
men.
The barracks were to have been
completely finished by Jan. /. Owing
to labor shortage the building will
hardly be completed by that date.
