IOWA PRESS COMMENT.


Des Moines Register: Under Presi-
dent Wilson, some congressman are
reminded Of the days when they went
to school.
Cedar Rapids Gazette: Russia owes
the United States 1857, 799 900. which
the Bolsheviki have declared 1t to be
their purpose to repudiate. They will,
by so doing, provide domestic politics
in America with an issue that Will
keep Siberia as profitable topic for
discussion.
Marshalltown Tmes-R Republican:
Saving money looks harder than it is.
The average man multiplies his hard
ships by looking at them through a
telescope. And the satisfaction of hav-
ing saved and being ahead few dol
lars is one of the finest poor man
ever feels. There's safety in it.
Cedar Rapids Republican: Some OF
the wise eastern men and papers
which have been talking about the
farmers boarding their products ought
to give the farmers a chance to get
all the cars they want and they will
demonstrate that, on the contrary,
they are eager to get their stuffs con-
.verted into money. The cars only have
been lacking in such states as Iowa.
Burlington Hawk Eye: There has
never been a time when the friends OF
the river had greater cause for feeling
hopeful and also for putting forth re-
doubled effort.
Dallas Center Times: According to
best advices from Washington, Colonel
Roosevelt is laying definite plans for
the 1920 presidential campaign.
Malvern Leader: But, really. hasn't
the greater part of the presidents hec-
toring come from members of his own
party?
Waterloo Times-Tribune: The first
commandment of fighter is Don't
whine" ~
Jefferson Bee: Isn't 1t strange,
therefore. that America has congress
men, senators, governors and other
public men, Of ability and note, who
continue to shield, defend, protect and
foster the liquor business?
Oelwein Register: When certain
big combines return DIVIDENDS OF from
20 to 100 per cent. per year these pip
ing days of war. it is not squaiS deal
for the consumers.
Oelwein Iowan: And Joe Folk is to
be run against Bill Stone in 1921.
That's long time for truly Poor Old
Missouri to have to wait.

WORK FOR RETIRED FARMERS.

Every community has it's retired farmers,
prosperous, practical men, who by tnelr ntelll-
gence and thrift have been able to turn the active
work of the farm over to their children or a
tenant and live comfortably in their village or
city homes, where they cultivate kitchen
garden, keep a few hens and spend their middle
age and old age in comparative ease without
the necessity Of performing the hard, persistent
labor that characterized their earlier years.
These men are highly trained by long years
of practical experience in the arts of agricul-
ture. Last year many of them helped in the
maximum food movement by taking the place
of hired man on the farm, or going back, tenn
porarily, to farm management. They found
many ways in which, from early spring until
the crops were gathered they could fight for
Uncle Sam, for democracy and humanity. They
will be an important factor in the coming sea-
sons crop growing activities In the work Of
speeding up farm work and larger production
the retired farmers can be depended upon to do
their share.

Inasmuch as the War Fund Of 1917,

American people to the Red Cross
for the administration of relief at

for the welfare of the men of our
military and naval forces and those
dependent upon them and for the
yet more urgent necessities of our
allies, military and civilian, who
have long borne the brunt of the.
war, and, inasmuch as the year of
our own participation in War has
brought unprecedented demands
upon the patriotism and liberality
of our people and made evident the
necessity of concentration of work

as during the duration of the war

the Red Cross with our own Army
