The Voice OF Modern Business

The Dictaphone steps into the
breach.
In large measure, it takes the
place of the men and women who
have gone, 1t enables those who
are left to spend less time and
energy in letter-producing to the
great gain of other important
productivity.
An increase of at least 50 per cent
more letters per day per operator.
A saving of at least onc-third on
the cost of each letter. These are
Dictaphone facts provablc in any
ofice-yeS, IN yours.
You'll be surprised how easily
The Dictaphone slips into the
grooves of your regular business.
You arrange an appointment with
The Dictaphone man. He places
the machines on demonstration.
No excitement, no disturbance of
existing routine. In a half-hour
YOU know what The Dictaphone
can do for you. Phone or write.

The Dictaphonc fits the
speed requirements of mod
ern business. 1t whips the
mail from the dictator'S
desk to its destination at the
swiftest pace that mail can
take.
The Dictaphone fits the
economy needs of modern
business. 1t can produce
more mailwith fewer people
and less effort than any other
system.
This is majority opinion. 1t is
more than opinion. 1t is the
cryStallized experience of thou

 the interests of the Germanic nations:
 have presented no demands which
 would deprive the Tcutons of any of
 their legal possessions, and have asked
 for nothing that was not morally and

 has been deliberately deceived as to
 the truth of the Russian ovcrtures.
 Germany has been given an oppor-
 tunity to prove her claims that ia hardly likely 10 occur again.
 Germany, on the contrary has made demands which are diametrically op- posed to the spirit of the Russian peace prefer and also to her own in- sistent declarations of non- -ulteror motives; has demanded territorial i'm demnities and a military dominance over a large section of the Russian territory. Instead of meeting the Rus
 sians in a manner consistent with her unctuous claims to saintly virtue [ rectitude she has displayed little in- { dication of anything beyond a wolf

THE PEACE NEGOTIATIONS

The Russian refusal to continue the peace discussions unless the Tcu- tons consent to transfer the ne gotiatons to Stockholm. is a clear in- dicat.on that tho BolsheyiN leaders are determined to not permit them selves 70 be cocrccd or cajoled into cnnsumating peace on an objection able basis, and amply sustains the re- cent declaration of Foreign Minister Trotsky that Russia does not intend 10 kneel to Germany for the sake of merely securing q suspension of hos tlitlcs
 The Russians have met Gcrmanys oft repeated declaration that she is fighting solely for self preservation and has no desire to prolong the struggle, in an emnently fair and open handed manner and evidently with the mistaken belief that German deeds would square with German words if Germany were given an op- portunity to prove herself And doubt less they have been much surprised to find that Germany has neither in- clination or intention to assume any obligation that does not rebound to her own credit The Western allies and, doubtless the rest of the nun- cnnbatant world have long ago real ized that Germany is fighting, not for preservation of existence or desire 10 avoid prOionging the struggle beyond the day that just and equitable set. dement's can be achieved but solely for self. for the rewards, monetary and otherwise. that may be won by the power of arms.
 The Russians probably realize now, what the rest of the world realizes. that If Germany were really sincere and was even half way willing 10 make peace on terms which would prove that she is seeking self rrescr- vation and not conquest. she has been granted an excellent opportunity thru the Russian peace proposal.

Securing Happiness.

It's every mans right to have pleas
ure. True, many conditions tend TO
rob a man of his rights. But the final
theft rests with the man, himself.
Scripture says: '"There is that With
holdeth more than is meet and 1t ten
deth to poverty" The. same principle
rules in the quest Of happiness. Joy Is
the reward Of doing the happy thing
rather than the boarding Of word OF
encouragement. Use your powers for
their intended purpose and see what
the result Will be.

.poh,1 WRITE WASHINGTON.

J, Many individuals and firms engaged
in the production and distribution Of
ffoodstuffs have been writing to the
food administration at Washington
about regulations. Washington off,
Gals have requested that questions
! first be taken up with the county food
administrators and also that all ques-
lions which the county committees
are not prepared to answer be referred
to J. F. Deems, in charge of the fed
eral food administration for the state,
at Burlington. All questions to be pre-
scented should come through the fed
eral food administration for the state.
There are now almost 5000 county or
district food administrators, and con-
fusion will result If direct correspond
sence with Washington develops.

FAIRS WORKING WITH DEEMS
They Will Restrict Sugar and Nest
Supplies to Refreshment stands.

The food administration has applied
the rule governing hotels, restaurants
and public eating houses as to sugar
and wheat bread to all eating stands
on fair grounds of Iowa. It has cut
out the allowance Of sugar for lem
onade or iced tea. It permits refresh.
ment stands to buy two pounds of
sugar for each 80 meals served last
year. It requires sugar bowls to be
removed from tables, and requires ap-
plications for sugar to be made to W.
T.. McElroy, chief Of the sugar division
at Ottumwa. The same rules that gov
ern the serving of beef in hotels apply
to refreshment stands on fair grounds
likewise the regulations relative to,
