Loyalty's Answer
TO
Porter's Appeal to the
DISL0YAL
To the Voters of w

Mr.. Porter Having Modified the Discon-
tented and Disloyal through vicious appeals
now attempts to gain the votes of the Loyal in
Iowa.
Mr.. Porter, having appealed to the disloyal voters Of
Iowa by his accusations concerning the Language PrOcla-
nation issued by Governor Harding, now attempts to gain
more votes by accusing Governor Harding OF failing to
give an Accounting Of the Funds Provided by the last Leg
islature for War Purposes.
Mr.. Porter knows that the same voters who were OPP
posed to the Language Proclamation are opposed to the
expenditure of money in behalf of the Iowa Soldiers and
Sailors, and that these same people object to the expendi-
ture of money for war purposes.
Had Mr.. Porter and his Chiefs of Stats, Nick Reed
and }. W. Reynolds, been as diligent in actually discover
ing what the money expended from this so-called Million
Dollar Appropriation has been used for, as they have been
in mobilizing the discontinued voters for Mr.. Porter, they
would have known that the books are open to every citizen
lin Iowa. They would have known also that on February
20, 1918, Governor Harding sent a letter to every member
of the State Legislature, in which he stated, "in the fund
created by Chapter 207, in which $950OOOOO was appro-
priated for the military establishment, there is a balance
of $685., 1886. TO-"
First:-Why misrepresent the amount involved? Why
not tell the truth in the figures at least?
Second:-Doesn not this United States District Attor-
|ney know public records are open to every citizen?
Third:-Does not this "three times candidate for
Governor know that there has been no opportunity or oc-
casion for Governor Harding to render an accounting?
Fourth:-Is he trying to avoid answering why he fav-
|ors fixing the price of the Iowa Farmers wheat and not
the Southern Planters Cotton.

One artillery unit worked hard dur
ing the afternoon of the second day OF
the attack to get its pieces into posi-
ton. 1t had moved up for the second
time, and had not fired a shot. II
was 4 O'Clock when the lieutenant in
command gave orders for every one
to stand by. The gunners were to fire
their first volley into the German lines.
Everyone stood waiting for the final
word when the telephone rang and
word came that the infantry had adj
vanced so far that it would be neces.
sary to move up again before going
into action.
"Oh, hell.!' said u gunner; "those
infantry guys amt got no respect for

A German artillery unit was in the
act of being relieved the first night the
Americans swept forward. The adj
vance was so swift that both the old
unit and the relieving unit We're cap
tured at the gun positions.
A truch train was lined upon
a dark road running parallel with thu
front and only a few kffometers back
while a company Of pioneers mended a
broken culvert. A colonel. who was
unfortunate enough to be ut the real
end of the jam and who was quito
anxious to be on the move, turned
on the electric lights of his Limousine
in hopes that the light would enable
the men toiling on the roads to work
faster. A pioneer private paused, pick
above his head, when he saw the sud

Hey, you rube'' he shouted. VIVA;
are you trying to pull off down there
Do you want all the German artillery
in the, country turned on us? Can that

. Tho insistont demand for greater
food production will not end with tho
termination Of hostilitics. In America
our increasing population demands that
zach acre of soil shall yield larger crops.
that each pound OF grain fed to stock
register in Increased meat production.
Thoroughbred stock achieves this end
better than grade stock.
Farmers will never realize tho fullest
measure of efficiency until they have
started raising pure bred stock. The
grade" OF scrub hog. like the mongrel
dog and the poorly-bred horse. have not
single valid reason for existence
They represent no quality or attainment
that their pure bred contemporaries
cannot cclipsd them In.
AS case in point we may mention
the matter of food consumption. A
grade hog or n grade COW will eat as
much as puro bred specimen. Tho
Texas steer quito literally rack Of
bones and L hank OF hair. consumes
just as much provendcr as thorough
bred Hereford. The disproportion in the
consequent weight and financial rcturn6
of the two varieties OF steers was SO
great that the lons-horn has gone the
way of the buffalo.

same doom will visit the grade" hog
The difference between the present re-
cord OF pork production and that which
might be achieved by the use OF thor
oughbrcd hogs throughout the country
would total hundreds of millions OF
dollars annually.
The prime purpose OF tho hog-rais-
ing industry is to put meat upon the
nations dinner table. The finer the
quality OF that meat tho lower It's cost
per pound production the greater our
economic benefit. We had TO wait I'M
til a great crisis came to realize tho
tremendous Importance of adequate
food production. After this every one,
including the farmers. Will be more
disposed to treat food production as
the tremendous and exacting science
that 1t is.
Against tho raising OF pure bred
hogs there can be voiced but ono sin
gle arsument-and that by no means
good one. 1t IL true that the initial
cost OF getting thoroughbred herd
under way Is greater than that OF as
semb!iDg a grade herd. But from the
very beginning It pays bigger returns.
For instance, there's my thoroughbred
Berkshire boar Epochai. That boar
would cost the man who wanted to
purchase him whole lot OF money.
