LIBERTY LOAN INTEREST.

Secretary McAdoo officially corrects
a statement appearing in various news
papers that the Fourth Liberty Loan
will bear interest at the rate of Al per
cent. He states that no thought has
been entertained of issuing the bonds
of the fourth loan at higher rate
than A per cent.
II is interesting to recall here the
Secretary's appeal in his Third Liber'
Nv Loan speeches that the rate of in
terest for Government loans be staoll'
lied at A per cent He said then that
as an intelligent people we should
made a stand for the financing OF our
Government during the period OF the
war at a stabilized rate of interest
naming Al per cent as the proper hg'
ure, so that all business and invest
ments might be adjusted on that basis
In his letter to Majority Leader Kit
chin he strongly urges stabiliz'ng the
rate at Al per cent.
The Secretary of the Treasury mas
also asserted he did not think that the
patriotism of the American people was
measured by the rate of interest on
Government bond. and the support the
peoule gave the Third Liberty LOAF
seems to have justified his belief.

REPUBLICAN PROGRAM

At a meeting held following the
State Convention in Des Moines, the
Republican State Central Committee
made plans for the campaign. The con

cially in those congressional district
wnere the democrats are making Il
vigorous fight TO elect a congressman.
The democrats are perfecting their
plans for their state convention to be
held here Thursday, July IS. 1t has
been announced that Claude Porter,
the democratic nominee for governor,
can not be present as he is still tied up
in the prosecution of the |. w. w. cas-
es in Chicago. However, he is writing
a speech which will be read to the con-
yention.
The democrats are OF course goin :
to play hard on the matter of support
of the administration during the war
period and will make an especial effort
TO elect congressman In the Third,
Fourth, Sixth and Tenth districts. Lou

rector for E. T. Meredith, democratic
candidate for governor, and since that
time a political reporter on the Regis

ed as publicity man for the democrats

Gently spent some time in Chicago
looking into the recent activities Of
Mr.. Porter who, as United States dis
trict attorney for the southern Iowa
district, has taken a prominent part in
the |. w. w. prosecutions. He plans to
send out articles for the newspapers
soon setting forth these facts.
No plans have been announced as
yet by Governor Harding as TO any
campaign that he will make. The gov
ernor continues to make good many
war speeches over the state and "
is probable his work will be more In
the nature OF war. speeches than nd

From seashores to mountain tops

boated,
And taken on acres of tan,
But all OF such pleasures, I've noted
Have made me no more Of man.

The cliffs and the rocks and the
streams;
The Measure resorts and the fountains
But this is no summer for dreams.
Society fills me with anguish,
Away with the danes and the dance
'Tis treason to loiter and languish,
While someone is hungry in France.
They tell me the crop is bumper
Two bumpers would scarcely go
round,
So me for the old frazzled jumper,
Two dollars a day and my found.

Belong to the indolent few;
But III be no rest.seeking fioater-

I'm taking no trip on the cars.

With ieed-drinks and countless CT

A pitchfork III have for by brassie,
A milk stool shall serve for my chair
I'll waltz with a fodder-fed lassie,
And hay-seed shall cling to my hair.
I'm done with the canyon and geyser,
And beach with their frivolous joys
I'm going to help lick the Kaiser.
By saving the grub for the boys.

So this year I'll spend my vacation

SUNDAY WORK ON FARMS

Ii is quite right and proper TO do
farm work on Sunday if that Sunday
work is necessary to produce food
crops TO help whip Germany. That Is
the attitude of the rural churches OF
Indiana, expressed recently in confer
ence at Pardue University. The reason
given for this position was the conVic-
ton of Indiana rural ministers That
Germany is the worst enemy OF CIVIL
cation and of every church of civiii-
zation-of all religion everywhere
that is worthy the. name of religion;
that the victory of the barbarous Huns
would be literally the victory OF the
devil and the triumph of that pagan
monstrosity created by the Kaiser's
savage and sacreligious mind and cali
ed by him "the good old German
gott" in short, that every church in
America is fighting for its existence
lust as every other component of civ
ilization is fighting for its existence,
and that if Sunday work is saving
crops will help overthrow this bestial
menace il becomes - veritably a
cnurchly work to do.
This conference of the rural church
es of Indiana was held at Purdue Uni
versity under the auspices of the De
partment of Agricultural Extension.
