GOVERNMENT EMPLOYMENT SERVICE.

An urgent request is made by the govern
ment employment service that employers Of la
Dor get needed help through its bureaus exclu-
sively There are obvious advantages to the
government in the present crisis IN controlling
the labor shift of the nation. This service was
established to act as the governments agency
in supplying it's own labor needs In order to
efficiently do this it must have intimate knowl
edge of the whole nations labor supply and
such knowledge will be much easier to get and
keep if all the private labor demand OF the
country turns to the government employment
service for it's supply But that employers may
be satisfied to comply with this request it is
necessary that the government service be pre-
pared to give prompt and efficient response to
their demands. This means that the govern
ment agents must devote the time needed to
keep in touch with employers needs as they do
with those of the government. The branch or
CARNATIONS of the central bureau are being
rapidly extended and are reported to be al
ready serving more than thirty thousand en-
ployers monthly. This, however, is but frac-
ton of the labor demand Of the nation. The
realization Of the governments desire
must wait until the service is prepared to reach
quickly and Understandings the employment
needs throughout the nation. Like many other
agencies more economically managed in peace
times by local enterprise, this mobilization and
distribution of labor may rightly be taken over
bv the government during the war, but the gov
ernment must extend and maintain service
adequate to satisfy the business OF the nation

horror of ii all-the awfulness and agony of
this stupendous calamity, will then begin to
come home to us as it does to France with her

This is only a suggestion. 1t may not be eS-

GLORIOUS IOWA.

Burlington Hawk-Eye: Some time
ago there were many in the east who
were asking what allied Iowa and the
middle west. There was nothing
whatever the matter with Iowa and
Illinois and the whole middle west.
But some Of those downeast folk are
so constituted that they are forever
worrying about somebody else. Ever
fearing that some neighbor may not be
doing his duty Sometimes perhaps
making a bit of a camouflage. in order
that the fact may not be noticed, how
they are tagging.
The latest figures place the number
of men from Iowa who are in the
army, the navy and other branches Of
the military service of the United
States, at 41,5OO. That in proportion
to the total population will be found
a showing to which Iowa can point
with pride
Whenever Uncle Sam has asked for
funds, Iowa has gotten busy and has
placed at the disposal of the govern
ment huge sums. She has taken
pleasure in donating literally to all
manner of funds that are not under
the direct management and control OF
the government, but all of which have
10 do with winning the war.
Iowa is still largely a farming
state. And she produced great crops
last year, in response to the govern
ment appeals, and she is going to do
still better in this regard this year.
All along we have been told that the
government needed men and money
and food, in order that the war might
be won and the world made safe for
democracy. And Iowa gave all the
men that were asked for, and is ready
to give more. Iowa gave all the
money that was asked for and is ready
to give mode. And in addition she is
doing the most important and by far
the most difficult thing. It is an easy
matter to furnish more men and more
money. But it is by no means sim
rle, easy problem to furnish largely
increased food supplies. But Iowa has
done that very thing and is going to
keep on doing 1t.
Glorious Iowa, and Glorious Illinois
and the Glorious middle west are
again making marvellous records.
Some one started the saying on it's
rounds. many months ago, that things
will never again be just as they were
before the war began and we entered
into the terrible conflict. OF course,
everybody pictures the future to suit
himself, and few map the postwar
period in the same style. But It does
appear fair to assume that in those
future times, when things are going to
be so different. the down-east folk
will refrain from that just slightly an
noying habit of inquiring: What ails
Iowa and the middle west?"

WHAT WE CAN DO.

Citizens with the right stuff in them ask one
question today: What can we do to help most!
Of course. send our men as fast as possible, as
Lloyd George says they must be sent; build
ships to transport troops, supplies for our al
lies and our own men; keep the money chest
fnll. get such fruits from labor in our fields as
will testify to the amount and earnestness OF
that labor; speed up production Of such manu-
features as are needed at home and abroad. VI
course there is patriotic agreement to all these
things.
But there are other things we can do to help,
beginning today. We can stop all needless de
lay in discussing when we should be actlng,
and this applies to every national agent from
the president down to the rural policeman We
can enact the legislation which will enable
executives to get right at the work they ought
to be doing; this means congress In particular
and every state or local government whose en-
actment can facilitate war work. or stop pro-
German agents from hindering it, which is just
as imnortant. We can stop weak dilly-dallying
with most necessary war business and get it
done: this means that if the men who are at it
are unfit, they must go in favor OF others better
oualifed To bring this about means action by
government executives beginning with the
president and working down to the man who
chops out timber or FORCES steel bars. We can
stop talking about pitiless publicity and put the
thing into practice. We can mean business as
we do about matters that are our immediate
fperson concern and do this war business as we
work for the things we have at heart.

ONLY A SUGGESTION.

Would it be practicable and would it be de-
sirable to keep some of the many churches of
this city open for several hours of every week
day in order that people whose hearts are OPP
pressed by the awful exigency through which
the world is passing might go in as time per
mitted and spend few moments asking di-
vine aid for the nations so terribly triedl I'm
doubtedly there are pastors and laymen who
would gladly undertake to be present at speci-
fed hours of certain days to welcome those who
came, lead simple services if that were consid
cred advisable, and invite them to silent pray
er. A continuous earnest appeal would then go
up from our city that those who stand for

BURLINGTON, April 12.-H. E.
Roberts of Postville, has been sent
enced by the United States food adj
nlinistration to pay the Red Cross
$500 and, to- sign public apology for
selling flour at retail without the
proper substitutes, and his license to

administrator. He was summoned be-
fore County Administrators D. ].
Murphy and l. r. Beeman, at Waukon,

been confirmed by Administrators

says his violation was without tntsnt
to be unpatriotic. But he appreciates
that his conduct may have mislead
others and IL SO. whatever harm has
been done, has caused him sorrow in
addition to the suffering incident to
the heavy penalty imposed.
1t is the intention of the food al
ministration from this time to impose
severe penalties on all wilful viola
