Dor experts will address the gathering
this afternoon It was announced.
Iowa must have more war orders,
said Governor Harding in opening the
meeting" for IL we don't get them We
are nndone-not only for the present
but for ten or fifteen years after the
war.
"lf Iowa is to be called on to sup
ply food for the United States and
her allies during the war we must
have certain surplus of labor which
can be employed on the farms during
the rush season and find work in
factories during the slack seasons"
State Labor Commissioner Urick
was wroth over the reprimand from
Washington because Iowa was charged
with not furnishing enough unskilled
labor for the eastern market.
The government department hasn't
taken into consideration the fact that
Iowa has not Floating labor mar
ket," said Urick. .. .....
I'VE have a tough time getting farm
help in the summer because men who
work on farms can't lay about the
state idle in the winter. Give us some
war orders and wen have labor here
all the time" .
. Today's meeting is expected to
draft an appeal to government officials
to see that war orders get further
west than the Mississippi.

OUR SUGAR SUPPLY
PRIZES FOR BEST METHODS OF
$685. CUTTING CONSUMPTION.

The Nation is face to face with a
very serious situation in respect to
its sugar supply. The supply Of SUI
gar is short on account of the loss of
so, 900, 900 pounds by U-boat sinkings
off our coast, by the capture of sugar
stores and the destruction of sugar
mills and beet fields In France and
Italy during the German drive Of a
few weeks ago, the crop shortage in
the Indies and Hawaii, and the lack
of shipping from the Orient and from
Java. 1t is also necessary to fur
nish an increased amount Of sugar
for our soldiers in the trenches and
our associates in the war.
This cuts our allowance down to
two pounds per month per person,
which Is the same ration that Eng
land has. and is twice the ration Of
France and Italy.
1t is purely a matter of mathemat-
ics-there is just so much sugar and
just so many people, and it is not
difficult to figure out to what extent
we must deprive ourselves in order
to furnish supplies for our soldiers.
In the presence of this national
distress the Food Administration for
Iowa proposes a contest for the won.
en-, to solve the problem OF HOW
BEST TO SAVE SUGAR. Eleven
state prizes and twelve prizes for
each county, six for women in the
towns and six for women in the coun
try, will be awarded by a Committee
of which Miss Alice French is chair
man, and a dozen other prominent
Iowa women are members.
The contest closes August 26th
Women are invited to send Miss
French 5O-word letters giving sugges'
tons on the best way to save sugar
in the household-in canning and
preserving, in bread, cake and candy
making, in beverages or otherwise
All women are eligible to enter EV
cry woman has a chance to win one
of seventeen prizes
The belief is that out of this con
test will come a large number of sug
gestions of great value to the Nation
at large in solving the gravest prob
lem in food conservation which now
is faced by the Food Administration
