college. The matter Of his elevation
has come so suddenly that there has
not been time, even among the laity,
to discuss or speculate on the mattf1
of a successor. In all probability a
successor to Monsignor German will
be chosen from among the present col
lege staff, since such man would
have a working knowledge of college
affairs that would be difficult for an
outsider to obtain.
President Eighteen Years.
Monsignor German has been pres
dent of Dubuque college for eighteen
years and through his untiriHg efforts
has advanced 1t from comparative OBJ
security to position as one of the i'm
portant Catholic schools of the middle
west.

II resolve that the year 1918 will

the war; not to hinder it; that moth

that will in any way aid the common

need for men, munitions, materials and
money shall have a first claim on my
support.
Until the war is won am resolved

Every County in State Now Has Or.
ganized Farm Bureau-57 Agents.
That every county in Iowa now has
a farm bureau organized and that 81
have already employed county agents,
was the message telegraphed to Wash
ington on January 10 by State Leader
]. W. Coverdale of Ames. The coun-
ties not having agents expect to en-
ploy them as soon as suitable men
can be found. 1t is the hope OF Mr..
Coverdale that Iowa will be the first
northern state to put a demonstration
agent in every county.
Within the past two weeks, twelve
counties had employed agents as fol-
lows: Ringgold, W. B. Buck; Della
ware, ]. A. Krall; Keokuk, w. O.
Roessler; Butler, o. W. Flint; Boone,

conmu nfty until about three years ago
when he went to live with his son
Fred, in Long Beach, California; and
from there heswas called to; hiss re-
ward on January 18th, 1918, at the
age of 80 years, 4 months and 20 days.
There remain to mourn for him two
sons, Frank of Edgewood, iowa, and
Fred of Long Beach, California; and
one aged sister, Mrs. Cynthia Smith of
Edgewood, Iowa; five grandchildren,
and nine great grandchildren. He
was converted February q, 1861, and
Joined the Methodist Episcopal church
continuing a faithful member Of that
church to the end. While his Christ
ian experience seemed to vary at
times, since the death of his wife nine
years ago, he has been very earnest in
his life. For a great many years he
was very much interested in temper
ance work and voted the prohibition
ticket when it was not nearly as
popular as at present. A brief chapel
service was held in Long Beach, Cali
fornia, and then the remains were
brought back to Edgewood, Iowa.
The funeral services were held in the
Methodist church on Saturday after
noon, January 26th, the Rev. S. c.
Bretnall preaching the sermon, and
the body was laid to rest beside that
of his wife in the Edgewood cemetery.
Thus has passed away one of the
longtime residents of this communi-
ty and a great many hearts feel that
another friend has passed over and
yet will remember the fellowship
which they have enjoyed in the past
and hope for reunion some day in a
better world Xxx.

Slavery, serfdom ands6ll the. AhaslS9Rse.ii
that bound the common peVPleS to the
dominance of aristocracy would still
exist rAnd yet, BECAUSE the school
teachers have been defensless, ma
terialistic and commercial America
has paid them pittance instead OF
rewarding them with munificence
commensurate with the services rem
dered.
Incidentally, while on the subject,
it may interest the people of Iowa to
know that the school teachers of Iowa
are the poorest paid of all that poorly
paid profession. Even in the dark"
mountainous regions Of the, south
where schools are few and far be-
tween the teachers are better paid
than in Iowa-and Iowa delights in
telling the world 1t is the richest
state in the Union.
Iowa pays kindergarten teachers
fifty dollars month to lay the
foundations of education. 1t pays
first grade teachers sixty dollars a
month to teach the children the rudi-
ments and, as the grades of the teach
ers increase, the munificent sum OF
one dollar, two dollars or three dol
lars a month is added to their salaries
There is not grade school teacher In
the state, unless a principal, who re-
ceives 500 a month, and few teachers
in high school who receive more than
that Nor is that the extent of the
injustice. The pay the teachers re-
ceive per month does not represent
the real award, for they are paid
for but ten months of the year, and
few of them can find work for the re-
naming two months to exc out their
wages to living scale. Think of it.!
Kindergarten teachers paid $4,000 a
year! Then talk of minimum wage
scales being needed for sweat shop
workers. ..
We hope the Washington school
teachers are successful in forming
their union and that the union will
quickly extend to every community in
the United States. When the teaching
profession has been unionized we may
expect to find teachers as we'll paid as
coal miners, but not until then.

president OF DUBUQUE COLLEGE
TO LEAVE CITY.
(Telegraph-H erald.)

Monsignor Daniel M. German, LII.
D., president of Dubuque college, has
been named to succeed the late Bishop
A. j. Glorieux as bishop of Idaho. In
formation to that effect was received
in Dubuque on Monday but was not
available for publication until today
because no confirmation of the ap-
pointment was received here until
this morning.
IN the absence from the city Of
Archbishop J. J. Keane, who is expect
ed to return shortly, Monsignor Cor
man declared himself unable to esti-
mate how soon he will leave Dubuque
for Boise, Idaho, the see city of the
Idaho diocese. His departure will not
be for several weeks, at least, perhaps
even longer, since there will be much
work entailed in turning over the at
fairs of Dubuque college to Monsignor
Germans successor and advising the
latter on college affairs.
The Idaho Diocese.
The Idaho diocese is in the province
of Archbishop Christie of Portland,
Oregon, and it was from Archbishop
Christie that Monsignor German re-
ceived notification of the honor that
has been bestowed upon him. The
Idaho diocese is comparatively young,
having been erected into a diocese
from vicarate1 in 1893 by
Pope Leo XIII, and Bishop Glorieux
appointed bishop of the diocese imme-
diately Monsignor German will there
fore be the second bishop to hold the
Idaho office. The Idaho diocese CON-
prises the state OF Idaho, having an
area Of about $4,000 square miles and
a Catholic population of about $4,000,
ministered by about fifty priests.
Monsignor German is the second
priest to go from the presidency OF
Dubuque college to a bishopic, his
immediate predecessor, then Rev. Fa-
Their John P. Carroll, being elevated to
the bishopic and given charge Of the
Helena, Montana, diocese.
No Successor Suggested.
Monsignor German declared himself
entirely at loss to predict who may
succeed him as president of Dubuque

fred H. Hansen, \; n. e. A. Camp
Secretary at Camp 9bdge, has issued
asbrief statement as to the work that
il being doae for the boys along the
lire OF furnishing tAvm wh0lesome
recreation and entertainment. This
report has much of interest for the
paop1e of Delaware county, who went
over the top" in their subscriptions to
the Y. M. C. A. Army fund last Novem-
Der.
Mr.. Hansen, In summing up;the WORK
for December, says:
'"Work is now being casried on IN
eight Brigade buildings, in barrack
at the Remount station, and some work
ia being done with small group OF
men stationed at the rifle tange. Also
one man is giving full time to the base
hospital with several other men help
ing daily. 49,.
"The estimated attendance at our
buildings during December was $780,
$50. Thirty.three educational lee
lures. most of them illustrated. were
given during the month: There
were 416 sessions of educational
Classes. The men took books from
our libraries 1916 times. l7,9O0
men participated in recreational
sports. 100 religious meetings were
held, and there were ITS sessions OF
Rib,e classes. Our men distributed
1888 Testaments The men must ash
for these; they are not passed out IN
public meetings. There were 1882 in
terviews about the Christian life, and
our men report 257 actual decisions
on the part of men to live a Christian
life, We held 80 social entertain
ments, and 100 moving picture shows
Our men estimate that approximately
$50 900 letters were written in oul
buildings, which is an average OF more
than 5000 per day. More than $20,
900 worth of express money orders
were sold. We find that this is goot
way to help the boys save their money
"The above figures do not tell the
whole story, of course, but they are
an indication of the work being done
Our work has been broken into goot
deal by the transfer of troops to othel
camps. Owing to Christmas leaves
etc. this was really light month will
