A big silver trophy cup, and it is

contest at the Iowa Corn and Small
Grain show at Ames this winter for the
best yielding acre of corn in the state
during the past season. The acre corn
contest, as it is called, is being conduct
ed by the Iowa Corn and Small Grain
Growers associa ton and the county

corn county and will undoubtedly be
well represented with a large number
OF contestants.
The object of the contest is not to see
who can pile on the most fertilizer and.
spend the most time on n single PAM.
pered acre and thus secure the most
abnormal yield. The plan is rather to
find out what farmers have grown the
largest yields by their regular methods
OF corn growing, to learn what these
methods are, and to award the trophy
to, the man who has grown the largest
yield under practical field conditions
and without knowing that he was in
special contest.

The congestion at the national CAPT
tol, due to the unusually large number
of people called there on account of the
war, might be obviated. Thousands of
men and women have gone to Washing
ton to work in various capacities. This
has created an abnormal demand for
rooms and houses and the rent prof.
teers, seeing their opportunity, have
boosted prices skyward So extortionate
have rental charges become that many
employees of the government have been
forced to relinquish their jobs and re
turn home. Many of the emplo-es
could probably be located in other cit
les. One does not have to be in Wash
ington to do governmental work of cler-
ical nature. If it could be satisfactor-
lily arranged, part of the clerks could
live elsewhere. This would not only
prove advantageous to the clerks, but
would be solar plexus blow to the
rent hogs.

Plans for a chain of industrial
schools throughout China that will di-
vert the Chinese as nation from in
tensive farming and open up new
means of livelihood that will afford
time for diversion and cultural pur-
suits are being made by Professor G.
w. Woodwork of the University of
California, who is spending his sabbat-
ical year at Marking University, where
he has been giving valuable course
Of instruction in sericulture. Professor
Woodwork lis intensely. Interested in
improving China's agricultural me-
thOds, but is of the opinion that eighty
per. cent of China population is en-
gagged in intensive farming where twen-
ty per cert would be ample. He be-
lieves that by training large part Of
the population in useful industrial oc-
equations and diminishing the number
of farmers, China would not only be-
come more independent of foreign ma
tons but would at the same time raise
the wages and the living scale of her
body of laborers in every occupation.
The industrial schools he clans are not
to turn out the student to compete with
the industrial market, but to increase
the number Of China s industries which
run all the year round. Prof. Wood
worth hopes to establish one school to
put his ideas into practice, and if it
proves successful, he hopes it will be
the first of chain of such schools
throughout China.

AGAINST PEACE PARLEYING.

The plain people OF the corn belt,
having given the best of their man
hood and money for the defeat of
the kaiser, will insist on finished
job. After hearing Floyd Gibbons
penetrate the crooked camoutiage of
the mendaciOus masters of Germany
we stand unanimously against peace
parleying. We want your good sword
sheathed after American guns boom
from castles on the Rhine and the
whole corrupt crew of Prussianism
stand with hands up and guns down
and cry 'kamerad' and means it,"
The foregoing vigorous message was
sent to Gen. John J. Pershing the man
of action, by Sioux City audience
Gibbons, in which he urged the peO-
pie not to permit the peace drives be-
ing staged by Germany to interfere
with the prosecution of the war. This
message is tuned properly. 1t doesn't
open the way for gabfest. 1t goes
straight to the mark and is addressed
to man who believes in deeds rather
than in words when dealing with
Prussianism.
1.-The Germans will continue to make
their appeals" declared Mr.. Gibbons
''The German wants us to give him
place at the peace table. He will
offer increasing favorable terms. l
predict you will hear him make an
offer of indemnity for the depreda-
tons he has committed and will offer
to withdraw his forces from France.
He will give anything for negotiated
peace that will preserve Prussian mill
tarism. He wants to keep an unde-
feated army in the field If such a
peace leaves under arms such an army
the world will be as unsafe for demo-
cracy as il ever was. Our soldiers
want to end the dirty, bloody work for
ever
You people at home have got TO
work harder. Germany has not been
defeated. Not a single Germany army

Not the least among the advantages

and crooked politicians for years, and
the hotbed of unclean politics. 1t

The easiest and quickest way to tie
President Wilson's hands is to elect
a republican majority in both houses
of congress. He has enough bad act
ors to deal with now. If you are with
the president and the administration
in the conduct of the war, vote for men
who will help him, not hinder him.

Come, Jack, you ought to leave such
stuff and nonsense as that to the
Hearst publications, which were not
loyal to the country nor to the presi-
dent for weeks after the United States
became involved in war

Should Germany accept President
Wilson's proposition to retire from
invaded countries it would probably
devolve upon Gen. Foch to determine
the conditions. Ip that event, the
conditions can be depended upon to be
of the right sort. Gen. Foch is not
strong on note writing, but he is
strong in doing the right thing at the
right time.

Republicans who are displeased with
Gov Hardings language proclama ton
ought to inquire into the views of the
governors opponent upon this question.
1t has been said that Mr.. Porter, the
democratic candidate for governor, en-
dorses the Harding idea and it has been
further said that Mr.. Porter will not
deny it. The Freeman-Journal would
like to have Mr.. Porter state his atti-
tude in this regard. Harding at least
has the courage of his convictions, and
it remains to be seen whether Porter
has or not.
