When hotels have anniversaries or department stores end half centuries of service flowers are always present in abundance and a butcher uptown had observed this.

So, fearing that others would not remember the date he or dered. They came and the butcher ar- ranged them as artistically as his art in dangling sausages allowed him. But when customers began to come in later he noticed smiles. At first he took this for commendatiOn and smiled back, but later he walked all the way around the wreaths and inspected them more carefully.

 To popularize the discovery and turn 1t to good account the British Dogs Wool association has been formed with the countess of Gosford as president and Lady AlEernon Cor don Lennox as chairman. The dogs wool, so far as the association can control it. will be turned over to the British Red Cross.

sentences are insufficient punishment
for disloyal German sympathizers.
Mr.. Goodwin says:

both in this country and in Germany

to me. There are many German
farmers and retired farmers in
Iowa who are decidedly pro-German
and the United States should con-

that they get back to Germany.

ICE CREAM TO BE PLENTIFUL.
Food Administrator Deems Announce
ing New Rules Allows For
Favorite Summer Dish
THIS Year.

Iowa people will have all the ice
cream they want to eat this year.
Food Administrator Deems announ-
cling the new rules restricting the
use of sugar by confectioners, makes
it sure that ice cream manufactur-
ers will not be interfered with.
The food administrator has ex-s
planned that ice cream has a human
food value which places it in quite
different class from chewing gum,
soft drinks, water ices, etc. "Were
we to restrict the manufacture of ice
cream" said Administrator Deems,
1--WE wauld Immediately work a SER
ious hardship upon our all-important
dairy industry
There Is at present surplus of
fluid milk which must be consumed
and were we to add to this surplus
by cancelling an important market
for dairy produce, the result would
be serious.
Owing to the shortage of avail
able shipping facilities, condenser
les throughout the country are now
taxing their storage capacity to the
maximum, thus, it is evident that
the condenseries could not replace
the ice cream manufacturers as
market for fluid milk should the
manufacturer of ice cream be in
terfered with.
THE condition that applies to
the condenseries is due in a large
measure true with manufacturers
of butter.
1T must at all times be remem-
bered that ice cream is a food and
not a non-essential."
Manufacturers of candy, soft
drinks and other CONNECTIONS will
be required to buy sugar on sched-
ule, and make regular reports of
purchases and supply of sugar on
hand, and will not be permitted un-
der any circumstances to consume
more than 80 per cent of their last
years requirements.

The national committee of patriotic

lions in the United States which are

situation to raise special funds for
purposes in no, way connected with

The matter was brought to the at
tention of the board by the declara-
ton Of church official that his de-
nomination was to make a drive for
the biggest amount it had ever
raised because at a time when the
people were in the habit of giving
generously the raising of a great
sum would be easier than in normal
times.
There is just one matter of i'm
portance to the American people to-
day." the national committee said,
land that is the winning of the war.
Any organization, religious, phil
anthropic, social, or business, which
diverts the interest and financial
support of the people is aiding Ger
many. The government has urged
municipalities to cut their budgets
to the bone and make only the
most necessary repairs. Other
organizations should follow the
same course"

Council Bluffs Nonpareil: Don't
stand around telling a mother of a
boy over there how war will make a
man of him. She will hate you for
it because she thinks he is more of
man now than you are-and per-
haps she is not so far wrong about
it, either He is already consider
able of a man or he would not be
there. And if you are too old to
go to war, don't tell man with
sickly wife and a family of small
children to support how nothing
could keep you away from the front
if the government would only let
you go. You can't prove it, you
know, and he won't believe you.
And he probably thinks his excuse
is as good as yours, anyway. And
many times he will be right in
both suppositions. In fact, If you
can't go or won't go, the only thing
to do is to keep still about it and
do your best to put the government
over the top at this end. "By
their works you shall know them"
