IOWA CAN NOT EXCEED PRO.
pUcTIoN OF LAST SEASON,
SAYS PRESIDENT LEWIS.
YEAR oNE.FoURTH GONE,
PRODUCTION FALLS DOWN
Government Call For 100000 Tons
More Of Coal Not to Be Attained
May Resuit In Ships Being Tied Up
in Harbors and Allies and Soldiers
Suffering For Food.

Des Moines, June 4.-With three
months OF The spring already gone
March, April and May. and coal pro-
duction falling down appallingly, 1t
will be physical imposstbility for
Iowa to exceed its coal production this
season as compared to year ago.
This Is the conclusion Of j. c. Lewis,
president of the United Mine Work
3ers of America in this district.
The government has pointed out,
however, that coal production in Iowa
this present season must exceed that
OF a year ago by at least 100000 tons.
Since the government made that esti-
mate all hard coal has been shut out
of the state thus requiring all the
more soft coal.
It means paralyzed industries, ships
held in the i1arbors for lack OF coal
when our allies are in desperate
straits for our help, homes without
fuel and much suffering generally.
Gust imagine the effect it will have
on the American soldiers in France
when the inevitable happens and they
hear that the industries Of this coun-
try are tied up for the want of coat
as they were curing the period Of Jan.
19 to 20 Of last year" Mr.. Lewis de-
ciares in a statement pointing out the
great need for early storing Of coal.
As a result of DR.. Garf1eld's orders,
notwithstanding he is criticised from
orls ssTT1a of tie country 10 the other,
$50 ships carrying over 100000 tons
of food, fuel, ammunition and. other
war supplies were sent from our ports
between Jan. 10 and 20. after being
tied up for some time as the result OF
nos being able to get coal. Yet with
these conditions staring us in the face
we are indifferent"
The present week is fuel week and
every person is urged to order his
next winters coal supply at once II he
has not already done so.

chairman, and from the City Fedora
ton, of Boone, by Mrs. Frances Mason.
and from Mrs. II. NJ. Read, of Waterloo.
are in the hands of the press chairman.
These were published in the middle of
the month"; sort of continued story.
A notice must be given of the con-
tinued effort of the Iowa clubs toward
doing their full share towards the FUR
Tough homes. More than $4,000 was,re-
ported to Mrs. Homer Miller at Hot
Springs. Many of the clubs are ex-
pecting to earn the necessary ST. per
member by some form Of entertainment
to be given this summer II any club
has especially good plays, or other
forms of entertainments, 1t will be a
favor to all clubs II accounts ~ these
may be sent to the press chairman.
To Aid Furlouoh Homes.
Mrs. Homer A. Miller, chairman Of
the wonen's unit of the council Of ma
tional defense. is making an appeal
thru the local club organizations Of the
city for 81 gifts to the furlough homes
for our boys across the water. Should
the women of Iowa succeed In raising
the necessary sum for the equipment of
a "home" they will be permitted to
call the same for their own state If
they so desire.
When one knows of boys. who have
spent their furlough in stable after
strenuous weeks of trench duty. and
that this was the only available place
for them to rest, there is no doubt AZ
to the necessity of the establishment
of these homes. especially when they
are indorsed by the government.
Women may economize on their vaca-
ton plans and send at least 81 to help
| swell tho fund.

Quaint Iap.nesa cu.tom,

1t Is part of a polite education in
Japan to understand the art Of knot
tying. In that land knots take the
place Of buttons. hooks and eyes,
buckles and other devices Of civiliza-
ton for fastening the complicated
clothing OF today. The Japanese de-
pend upon cords and knots instead
which is an equally satisfactory way
and permits Of more artistic effects.
But the knot has much greater sig
nificance in Japan. In fact. each knot
has some special meaning, many Of
which SO back 10 the time when his

Red Cross work misunderstanding

complete Belgian layette, made twenty
four kits and filed them for Christmas

our own modern writing. 1t is easy to
see that n knot could have quite as
much meaning as the figure of an ami :
NAL. Tied one way 1t might indicate
victory and tied another way it would
signify defeat. 1t was simply ques-
ton of adopting a certain kind OF knot
as the image Of a particular thing And
all the languages, written and spoken
are merely a collection of images.
A Japanese sending holiday gift to
friend knots the cord In certain
way. signifying well wishes, affection.
A funeral wreath would be tied with
another kind of knot, meaning sorrow.
sympathy. And every step between the
two cases illustrated would require a
particular sort OF knot. So the study
of this quaint art Is by no means so
easy as 1t might seem.

Club Summaries.
Very many Interesting summaries
Of the years work have 'heen received
from clubs al, over the state. War
work, both thru the Red Cross and
council Of national defense, has held
first place. but IN few clubs has 1t abb
sorbed all the activities OF the women.
As the war goes on We will find here
as has bee.l found in other warning
nations, that some respite makes for
greater efficiency in our more serious
occupations.
In this connection the work OF
the natural scenery division Of the
conservation department comes TO
mind as a point Of evidence. Mrs. G.
II. McNider CT Mason City Is the
conseryation chairman and her In
terest lies strongly in the direction OF
q preservation Of Iowa's beautiful
scenery as well as in making veget-
able gardens and in conservation Of
foodstuffs. There is little magazine
called Iowa Conservation which is de
voted to the protection and preserva-
ton of the natural assets Of a great
