BIG DRIVE ON
THANKSGIVING DAY

Preparations for the big Thanks
giving Day drive TO sell the SIS, 000,-
900 remaining of Iowa's quota of
War Savings Stamps are nearly COM
pleted. In every locality In the state
plans are being perfected which, it
is believed, will result in every man
woman and child in the state going
to the nearest polling place and buy
ing his full share OF War Savings
Stamps.
The slogan of the drive. For the
Honor of Iowa. has struck popu-
lar appeal. 1t is believed there is
not a person in the state who Is
willing TO have it said that Iowa
failed to raise her quota of War
Savings Stamps, especially after the
splendid showing the state has made
in other activities. The approach
ing end OF the war will not affect
the drive The need for money will
exist long after peace has been de-
eminent, and Iowa will be expected
to raise her quota of stamps regard
less of the turn taken by affairs on
the western front.
The latest to join in the campaign
to put Iowa over the top are the min
listers of the state. Ministers of
every denomination have agreed to
devote an entire sermon to the War
Savings Stamp drive and in Des
Moines and many of the larger cities,
the churches will maintain booths on
the street for the sale of stamps.
In addition to this powerful force,
every lodge, club. school and society
in the state is being asked to get
behind the drive and help make it
a success.
More than million pieces of lit
erature will be put out by the state
headquarters under the direction of
Homer A. Miller state director of
the campaign. One of the publicity
features will be letter that will be
delivered to every household in the
state. Other publicity features are
handsome posters, windshield stick
ers, placards, etc. Governor Harding
has enlisted in the cause and his
Thanksgiving Day proclamation will
urge the people of the state to go
to the polls and buy their full share
Of stamps.
Every purchaser of stamps on
Thanksgiving Day will become the
proud wearer of tag of honor"
The tags are of different colors, the
color indicating the amount the
wearer has purchased.

Why Flour Expiodes,

Records of the last ten years show that about twenty explosions have oc. cured in cereal. flour and feed mills with the loss of $2,OOO,O0O worth of property. as we'll as the killing or in. turing pf over two hundred employees, Investigations regarding the causes of these explosions and subsequent fires have not proved conclusively what arc the difficulties to be avoided. In eight casea the explosions are believed to have originated from the sparks pro- duced sn the machines during the grinding process. Tiny particles of gravel or metallic substances coming into contact with the plates of the lpa- chine may !sroduce enough sparks 60 ignite the dust within the machine. Another possible cause for cereal dust explosions suggested Is the use of naked flames.

Quality of Knowledge count,.

What is needed to elevate the sow Is, not that q uan should know all that has beep thought and written in regard to the spiritual nature-not that a man should become an eycy. clopedia; tut that the great idea. in which all discoveries termsnate. which sum up all sciences. which the philos' opher extracts from infinite details. may be comprehended and felt, quotes William Ellery Charming. ';lt Is not the quantity. but the quality pf knowl edge, which determines tHe minds dig. nity. ,.' "A great mind is formed by few great ideas not by an infin' ity of loose details. 1 have known very learned men, who seemed to nie very poor in intellect, tecause they had nc grand thoughts.

Fresh Greene for tho carary.


 Canaries are very fond of lettuce celery tops and othx young and ten. der greens, as all birdlovers know. When the birdman tells us we must not give these things to our pets too frequently the temptation to go con. trary to advice Is strong, for we sym pathiss keenly. An accident showed me theway to gratify our pets without harm to them, as experience has proven. Some months since, c little birdseed was spilled on the earth in . large tub containing rubber plant Soon these seeds sprcutcd. and we hit upon the idea of removing the bottor, rom the cage and setting it over thz young sprouts. The joy the canaries found in their greens, and the conse- Quent discovery that the birds were really gaining in health and song con. vinced us that box of sprouting bird. seed was the thing to keep on hand tos them.-Uxchange.

NEWS OF JEFFERSON BOYS WITH COLORS
Can Use "Gun TOters"

That the place for ''gun toters" is on the battle front in Trance, and they can be used, is the statement made by J. H. Pritchard, son of J.. Henry Pritchard of Pine Bluff in a letter to Mayor Simon Bloom. Young Pritchard, who has two brothers in the service, was experiencing sec ond stay in the hospital, both due to wounds, when he wrote Of May 10 from Somewhere in France" His letter to the mayor follows:
 No doubt you will be surprised to hear from me. but I was thinking of you and thought l would let you know that the Germans have not got this Sammie yet, but have come pret- ty close several times, but I should worry He used to make us bit an- xious when we first came out but we are all cannon broke now.
 3'I am in the hospital for my second time, but just getting along fine, and expect, to be back in the line in few days.
 ',Mr. Bloom, send all your gun car riers and also you might send some of those men who always had an idea to kill somebody over here, because 1t Is not against the law to carry a gun or kill as long as you kill the right one. And they sure have mopped sAp with the Germans the last month. l saw in one place where they were coming over ridge in mass forma- ton and the heavy guns were firing point4blank in them and the machine guns were moving, them down just like you would mow grass. It re minded me of when you drop a rock in a pool of water. It would make a hole and then fill up again.
 "I saw one German prisoner who had just been captured. He was just IS years old and had been in train ing only month.
 s"Mr. Fritz has also learned lesson from the ,,Americans, and it was a costly one, too. He had an idea he would push them back a little. but he soon changed his mind. He sent over about 800 shock troops, but the Sammies were onto his game and he never got any further than the Am ericans' wire.
 Well. Mir. Bloom,'I guess I, Had better bring this to a close for this time, but promise to do better in the next letter. Hoping to hear from vol, < real soon. Your friend.
