And. furthermore, men do not like to

II isn't necessary that he be as old as

EGGS FROM CHINA.

Eggs are still selling for only five cents doz-
en- in China-but then China's too far away Tor
free delivery. No free delivery for Chinese
eggs. of course In fact, they have to pay an
abnormally high freight rate just at this time
Nevertheless nine hundred cases recently
passed through San Francisco on their way to
New York City, because Chinese eggs, and all
other eggs. enjoy free trade. Also egg products
are permitted to come IN at merely nomlnai
rates of duty. These tariff changes have re-
suited in logical changes In our egg imports.
During the calendar year 1913 with eggs pay
ing the tariff rate of five cents dozen, we i'm
ported one million, three hundred and sixty
seven dozen, eighty-three per cent. coming from
Europe and sixteen per cent from Asia. With
the protective rate ON egg preparations, we i'm
ported two hundred and twenty weight thousand
pounds. about twenty-five per cent, from
Europe and seventy five per cent. from ASIA
The following fiscal year, with years free OF
duty, we imported over six million dozen. sixty
per cent from Europe and thlrty-two per cent
from Asia And three million four hundred and
twenty thousand pounds of egg preparations
came in, sevente per cent. from ASIA AFTER
that imports of eggs dropped off, while imports
of egg preparations increased, until. taking the

BE FIT TO SERVE YOUR
COUNTRY.

Physical Culture: There are thous-
ands. perhaps millions, of individuals
who might be willing to die for their
country--if the accident of being of
military age and the fortunes of war
should occasion such a sacrifice
who apparently are not willing to re
form their personal habits and go in
to training to improve themselves
personally for the sake of adding to
our combined national efficiency.
And yet believe that If any one of
these men is once brought to see this
question IN its right light. he will
not hesitate TO do anything and ev-
erything TO improve himself. It is a
personal duty. And 1t is a national
duty.
Why should only the soldiers go In
to traininge Success in modern war

just when their business or profcs-
sional success most requires their
continued energy and direction.
One should be fit for any errer-
gency. The requirements of war and

as one might SUPPOSE In either case.

quest of the liberty denied there. Dr.
Bohn told of German educational
methods which subordinate the peo-

ut is natural for us in this coun-
try" he said, ITO think in terms or
legislative enactments and OF court
decisions Over there it is just as
natural to think in terms OF military
commands, because the military
comes before the civil power" DIT.
Bonn told of atrocities being the
natural sequence of German militar-
istic rule and detailed what loyal
Americans OF German stock expect OF
their brethren.
"They will do their duty" he said.
"As a matter of course we expect
them to go and fight. We expect
them to help the Red Cross and Lib
erty loan and everything which is the
means of beating the kaiser's regime.
But Just because they have this Ger
man blood in their veins, just because
they have these old liberty loving ira
ditions of Germany in their hearts,
we believe they ought 10 do more
than anybody else does"
DR.. Bohn insisted that what We
want is not merely physical victory,
but a moral and spiritual victory over
the German people. We must not
merely put down the kaiser or beat
his autocratic machine. but must see
! to it that somehow the German peo-
pie rise and topple the emperor Off
his throne, assert their manhood, and
take the government into their own
hands. We must make them see and
make them believe"
And this can better be achieved.

AN IOWA BOOK.

Burlington Hawk-Eye: Perhaps
not Immediately, but soon after the
war shall have come to end, Iowa
ought to get busy and have the right
kind OF a book prepared for use In
her schools. A book that will teach
the youngsters more about Iowa than
they have been learning in our schools
TO the present time.
The Hawkeye state is growing into
years, and has a history OF which it
may well be proud-a history OF
which most Iowans know very little.
Most OF the children do not even get
fair idea of the geography OF their
own state, and those who do not
! live near a big river, know nothing
OF the streams or the lakes or other
notable features.
Our youngsters are usually COM
PEELED to learn lot about the early
settlements on the Pacific coast
And that is all well and good. All
Americans should know something
OF that period OF our history. But
the early settlements In the south
and the southwest, and the Pacific
coast are no less important. and
should not be overlooked. However.
first OF all there should be some
pretty fair acquaintance with our
{ own state and it's history. 1t should
be story of the people of Iowa,
rather than a mere dry recital OF his
torical facts and names.
| II we had had that kind of book
in the schools of our state a quarter
Of century ago, and IL that book
+, had shown comparisons with some of
the other states, il the true import
ance of Iowa had been set forth
perhaps a smaller number OF Iowans
would have listened to the call of
the great cities or of all the other
sections of our own land. and to the
tales Of prosperity from other lands,
and would have remained in the best
state OF the union. That would have
saved many OF the exiles the trouble
of getting together now and then and
singing the praises OF the state they
{ left behind them.
This is no revolutionary step. It is
simple common sense that the chill
dren OF Iowa should not be left in
/ ignorance OF many OF the things about
Iowa, that are OF vital interest to
many non-lowans.
