HOW TO GET SUGAR FOR CANNING.

One of the best moves the federal food
administration has MADE is the orlieI
permitting the immediate purchase OF
% pounds Of sugar by families under
certificate pledge that il Will be stored
and used for canning purposes only.
Let's go into that sugar question a
little way Sugar is short in the
United States, so short that we are lin
tied to pretty purchases Of sugar where
We we're wont TO buy it in 100 pound
lots for home use. Sugar is short.
Not that there is a world sugar famine
but that we are short in the L. S. We
shall he able 10 get sugar from Cuba
If we can find the ships to bring il
We could get sugar from Java-if the
ships were available The ship is the
nub OF IT. So we must do the best we
can with the sugar we can get. We
must start now to accumulate sugar to
do our canning with.
This can not all be accumulated in
the warehouses of wholesalers and
job.her and IN the retail stores. The
homes must help. First there is no
surplus in the east or anywhere else
but in the west. Second Il takes a vast
amount OF money 10 carry this load.
There is small profit in sugar for the
man who handles it The wholesaler
gets what would be practically com
mission of per cent He can scarce
~ be expected TO pay from 10 ! per
cent for the money to carry a canning
stock from now until the canning sea
son. The retailer gets cent a pound.
He doesn't break even on his sugar
sales at and 70 pounds. He can't be
expected 10 borrow money at per cent
to carry sugar at a loss. It is reQuir-
ing vastly more money 70 conduct
business. He is up against II for capt.
Al. And there is the situation Of the
trade on the sugar question.
So the home is to assist in providing
this canning surplus. Il is 70 invest
S2.25 or thereaoout IN sugar TO be laid
away for canning purposes only. It is
% pledge itself on certificates to use
it only for canning Multiply the num-
Der Of homes in Iowa by 1925 and see
the financial relief thus afforded the
storage relief. Also the money thus
paid for sugar surplus in the homes
permits the wholesaler the joober the
retailer 20 lay in another supply. 1t
brings the sugar into Iowa. Il makes
the surplus we must have. It saves the
fruit.
Buy your % pounds gratefully and
gladly. Lay It away. Use under your
pledge for canning only. When II IL
done you can get another % pounds the
same way with the same relief to the
situation. We can all see it and see
the necessity Of IL
Help yourself and the government
aand the transportation and the trade
by carrying your % pounds Of the
burden.

John T. Adams. of Dubuque, who

dexterous use of ro-German letters
written by him before America went
to war, recently made a public decla-
ration OF his loyalty and devotion to

as his patriotism had been put on

mand in Dubuque compelled II. has
caused his friends some disappolnt-

have seen Clark nominated and elected
president in 1912, when the election of

We have believed all thru the years of
Wilson's admin stration that Clark
would have made much better presi-
dent and we believe now that he
would be a much more creditable
leader for the nation in its present
emergency. We do not know at what
stage of the great war Clark would
have reached the conclusion that 1t
was necessary for the United States
to get into the war but whenever he
should have reached that conclusion he
would have recognized the war as
something to be fought out and not as
something to be talked eloquently
about. He would not have insisted
upon being the whole thing in all OF
the war business. He would have ac-
cepted the counsel Of other strong
men. and he would have thrown the
strength of the nation where 1t might
have been made effective.

WHAT OF THE NAVY?
Sioux City Journal

In particular. the west needs to
know about the feet. There exists a
general lack of comprehension Of its
work which tempts US to class it in our
suhconsciousness as somehow second
airy, as less than the army, when that
is far from the truth. For the future
as we'll as the present let the work of
the navy be made known. 1t is ex-
tremely likely that Americas security
in decades to come will be based first
of all on her fleet. 1t is extremely de-
sirable that the people even of the Mis-
souri, river valley come to look upon
their fleet as the Briton has looked on
his-as the bulwark of all against ev-
cry aggression. An understanding of
the feet and a devotion to it is far
more important TO the country than
universal military training. Yet we
near much OF universal training and
little about the fleet.

THE FOURTH LIBERTY LOAN

The campaign for the Fourth Lib
erty Loan begins September % and
closes October 49, While the amount
has not yet been announced, it is gem
orally conceded it will be for larger
amount than any of the preceding
loans. The American people, there
fore, are called upon to raise a larger
sum of money in a shorter length of
time than ever before. There is need,
therefore, for prompt action-prompt
and efficient work and prompt and
liberal subscriptions.
We have great inspiration for
great effort. The news from the bat
tie front inspires every American
heart, not only with pride and patriot
ism but with a great incentive to do
his or her part. There is no Sinking,
no shifting of the individual burden,
no selfishness by American soldiers in
France; there should be none here.
We are both supporting the same
country and the same cause - our
Army in one way, ourselves in an
other. Theirs is the harder part, but
at elast we can do our part as
promptly and Loyalty and efficiently
as they do theirs.

SMALL BOND HOLDER
MISSES BIG FEATURE
Does Not Realize That All Issues
He Owns Are Free From Tax

Financiers studying the market con-
ditions with regard in particular to
Liberty Bond figures find that great
many Of the bond transactions are in
itiated by persons who do not under
stand the statutes which safeguard
the various issues OF bonds.
For instance, small holders have
been selling their 4 and AZ per cent
bonds in order to buy the 3M per cent
bonds Of the First loan, because the
31ss are completely exempt from tax.
AS a matter of fact, for the small in
weston, the As and AIS carry the same
freedo1hS from taxation, practically.
No tax now in existence or later to be
levied can affect the As or Ans unless
the holder owns $1,000 worth or more.
Hence, the great majority Of the
small investors pay no tax on the
bonds of the Second or Third issues.
The Wall Street Journal recently
said:
More to be deplored is the general
lack Of appreciation \of the ultimate
value of the Liberty Bond, no matter

les Of war and finance point to govern
ment bonds as the most far-slghted
and soundest investment a person can
make during these times. Investing in
government bonds now is buying with
cheap money call on dear money in
the future"
The Journal says further that the
Treasury Department is watching with
keen eye every piece Of legislation
which has to do with government
finance and nothing gets its approval
which would have any tendency to
make anything more desirable as an
investment than the Liberty Bonds
The trend in market quotations on
Liberty Bonds, relatively few Of which
are being sold, has been steadily
toward higher levels.
