SAVE SUGAR !
Continued from last week.

Continued from last week.
4 Are there no supplies Of sugar
in the East Indies?
There are quantities of sugar in
Java and some in other islands; but
ships can not be spared for trips to
Java while sugar can be obtained
elsewhere by one-third the haul.
5 WHY'S there need to conserve
sugar now in this country?
To meet the Allied shortage.
To release ships formerly used in
the sugar trade to carry soldiers
and supplies to Europe.
To make up the loss of beet SUI
gar lands and factories captured or
destroyed by the Germans in Nor
thern France and Italy.
Ships which would have kept up
the flow of sugar have been sunk.
Twenty-six thousand tons of sugar
were lost recently in submarine
raids upon our Atlantic Coast.
Fifty thousand tons of sugar-car-
rylng were transferred to meet the
requirements of Belgian relief.
6 Is there danger of sugar
| famine?
| No; but there is shortage as
compared with the pre-war days
when Americans used more than
80 pounds per capita per year. If
our people will con6ne themselves
to the quantities allowed under the
Food Administration rulings-large
by comparison with those of Eng
land, France and Italy-there will
be sufficient sugar for our needs.
SUGAR DISTRIBUTION
Z How much sugar can. each
person have?
Not more than Three Pounds
per month per person for house,
hold use and limited supply for
the necessary preservation of fruit
and other foods. The Army and
Navy must receive their ration.

TINE TO SPRAY .l2! FOR
CABBAGE WORMS

War gardeners who are growing
cabbage and caulifower and who
have been troubled by attacks of
the green cabbage worm are ad-
vised by the truck corps men at
Iowa State College that a spray
might yet be applied to plants to
combat the worm. This worm often
appears in large numbers and will
destroy or render valueless the cab
bage and the cauliaower crop,
White hellebore should be used for
spraying after the heads have begun
to form. 1t can be applied in the
strength Of one ounce to 3 gallons
of water. There is no danger in us
ing it as its poison effects will not
be retained by the cabbage. Get af-
ter the cabbage worm NOW.

he could make go better interest
by doing SO.
F. Citizen of Crawford county,
town of Charter Oak. 27 years old.
Born in Germany. Purchased $3.50
+! worth of Liberty Bonds in three is
sues. Traded some in on a purchase
of $3125 in stock in Sioux City
company on the argument that in
this way he could get 100 cents on
the dollar for his Liberty bonds.
This mans subscription to the Red
Cross amounts to SIS, to the Y. M.
G. A. SIS and he has purchased $50
in War Savings Stamps.
The above cases are similar to a
great many others of which | have
knowledge in this district and | ask
that you Immediately call to the
attention Of the War Service Coun-
Gil of your county the following
! facts:
First: That any man who bought
bonds in. the First, Second and
Third issues and traded same on
stock purchase purely as an invest
ment, will be expected in the
Fourth Liberty Loan to buy an
equal amount in addition to his
regular quota so as to make up for
the bonds he has traded. In other
words, we must maintain the
amount of bonds held by the citi-
zens of this district at a certain lev
ell. If anyone sees fit to trade these
bonds for another investment, it is
no more than fair that he shall be
asked to replace the amount thus
disposed of. This, of course, will
be done on the Fourth Liberty
Loan Campaign.
Second: Where person has
made an investment of so purely a
speculative character as purchasing
Estocksin new companies or old COM
panies expanding or enlarging at
this time, it is only faif that any
note which the purchaser gives as a
part payment for this speculation
shall not be taken or recognized by
the War Service Council as a La
bility when the quota Of the Fourth
Liberty Bonds is being made for
this particular individual. You will
note in the above cases that in ey-
cry case the purchaser Of stock bot
from five to ten times as much
stock as he had purchased Liberty
bonds in the entire three issues. In
other words, this very act proves
that it is most fair for the Liberty
! Bond Committees to expect them
to purchase at length as many
bonds in the next issue as he has
/ invested in stocks since the last
bond issue.
Thild: If fevery person who has
bought bonds in the previous issues
had done as the men above mem
toned have done, where would we
be from financial standpoint in
the war against the kaiser? | GER
tainly have no desire to interfere
with the business of any legitimate
concern in this district, but it
might just as we'll be understood
now as next October that the mon
ey and credit Of the people living
in the Fifth District should be
ready for Uncle Sam when he calls
for it. consider it absolutely un-
patriotic for anyone to dispose of a
Liberty Bond unless it is necessary
for him to do so.

TO M|SUNDERSTAAD
The Fourth Liberty Loan which
will be offered to the public through
the War Service Council Organize
ton in your county sometime in
October, will be for not less than
six billion and possibly eight billion
dollars. 1t is unnecessary for me
to call your attention to the fact
that this offering will require the
united support and most generous
subscription Of each citizen in the
eleven counties of the Fifth Dis
trict. To the end that there may
be no misunderstanding on the part
of future subscribers as to- what
will be expected of them on this
Fourth Loan, l desire to present to
you the following information and
make certain suggestions relative
thereto.
STOCK SALES
The state Of Iowa is flooded with
schemes to sell stock in every con-
ceivable kind Of company. Many
of these are succeeding and proba-
bly, many of them are worthy Of
honest consideration as safe invest
ments. We have discovered, how
lever, that on the part Of some Of
these companies there has been a
deliberate attempt made to sell
stock to persons of German birth
Or descent, who own Liberty Bonds,
offering to take as a part of the
purchase price of said stock, such
Libertys Bonds as the purchasers
own. In order that there may be
no discussion as to this condition,
/ present herewith few cases,
(which, the Bureau Of Military AT
fairs has investigated and the testi-
mony regarding them as given un-
der oath before proper witnesses.
A. Citizen of Crawford county,
town of Charter Oak. Born in Ger
many. Purchased $3, coo worth Of
Liberty Bonds under pressure, in
the last Joan. Traded them to sol
letting salesman onfsa purchase Of
|s3l25 preferred stock in q Sioux
City company promising .7go.. In
this case the purchaser, the man
who introduced the salesman and
the president of the Stock Com
pany were all born in Germany.
G. Citizen of Crawford county,
town of Charter Oak. 20 years old.
Born in Crawford county. Parents
born in Germany. $500 in Liberty
bonds on the three issues. Traded
these in on a purchase Of $3l25 Of
stock in Sioux City company.
Told by salesman that he could
make 29o by getting rid Of his
bonds and that he was not doing
anything against the government
by turning the bonds in.
G. Citizen Of Crawford county,
town,of Charter Oak. 26 years old.
Class four in the draft. Has
bought $3.50 worth of the Liberty
Bonds in three issues. Traded them
in on the purchase Of S3125 in
stock in Sioux City com
pany on the argument: "They told
me would get full value Tor my
bonds and big interest" J" In an
swer to the question, Would you
prefer to buy $4,000 worth Of Lib
erty Bonds or be put in Glass One
of the draft?" he replied, II would
sooner buy the Liberty Bonds.
D. Citizen of Crawford county,
town of Charter Oak. 81 years old
Born in Germany. Purchased $500
worth of Liberty Bonds in three is
sues. Traded them in on pur-

| The present German retreat will go
to the Belgian frontier. Whatever the
| temporary pauses. such as we haSe
seen at the Vesle and the Canal du
Nord. there can be no permanent pause
| for the Germans now short of the
i line of Lille-Valenciennes-M -Maubeuge-
| MeziereS and the Meuse from MeziereS
to Verdun.
! The advance of the British and par
/ fticularly of Horne's First British army
astride the Scarpe has been decisive.
BY forcing the Drocourt-Queant line
! the first army has insured the fall of
Douai and of Cambria, and with them
will go the safety of all the German
| line between Lille and Nerdun.
Lille Is Threatened.
Nor is it by any means certain that
the Germans will be able to hold Lille
and the Belgian coast for the balance
of the present campaign. for the situ-
alton about Lille is becoming very
grave and the possibility of the loss of
the southern defenses of. the city from
) Neuye Chapelle to La BaSSee is plain.
The truth is that the German sltua-
tion on the whole western front from
Rheims to Lille is highly critical ana
Foch has it still in his power to widen
| the area of active operations by at
tack between Nerdun and Rheims or
between La Bassee and DlXmude
Successive attacks on the fronts OF
three German armies have alreaay
produced a dslocation of the front
from Rheims to Lens, but the dlslo-
cation is extending northWard ana
westward rapidly.
The decisive thrust of what has
now become the battle OF northern
France was Horne's. A simple fig
ure illustrates the episode The Ger
man front hangs between Rheims and
Lille, much as hammock hangs
from two posts. The attacks from
the Somme to scissors were to be
compared with the operation of push
ing. a hammock with some one in it,
{ backward. Always there is chance
that the hammock will sway forward
again. But Hornes push was like
LAYING an AK on the rope between
the hammock and one post. To cut
the rope was to bring the hammock
down, and the rope has been cut.
Moreover, Mangin has been cutting
the other rope toward scissors. al
though he has been less successful.
Rut one. rope gone upsets the ham,
mock and spills its contents.
Will Cut Railroads.
Laying aside all figures. what has
happened is clear. Striking at that
portion of the Hindenburg line east
of Arras. the British have driven
through all systems of defense and
are rapidly approaching Cambria and
Douai. When they reach these towns
they will have cut many important
railroad lines serving the Germans
both to the south and to the north.
and will directly threaten the remain
ing lines on which.th Germans from
Laon to st. Quentin depend for sup
plies. The threat moreover will COM
pei the Germans to retire to the Bel
gian frontier to re-establish the Sc
curity of their communications. In
other words. they must get north of
the point which the British are ap-
/ preaching their main lines of COM
municationI with Germany before tho
