LARoR's CONSUMPTION
CONTEMPLATED ~ LAW
Would Compel All to Serve Govern.
nnent In Capacity in Which They Ar
Best Observation-Disclosures Of Every
Able Bodied Man Between Ages Of IS
and 60 Required in Measure.
rBy E. G. Dougherty.]

Washington, Jan. s.-The bill by
Congressman Ramseyer. aimed at
"idlers and slackers at home" Is the
most far-reaching measure introduced
in the war congress to force conscrip-
ton Of labor
lowing summary Of his measure and
his reasons. for introducing It:
This war Is not alone contest be-
tween contending armies on the field OF
battle The work Of the people back
Of the lines will have more to do with
bringing triumph to our cause than the
embattled hosts. It Is civilian against
civilian, farm against farm. factory
against factory and mine gainst mine,
as we'll as army against army anu
navy against navy. Every man must
take hold and do his best. The pro-
duction of the farm, the factory and
the mine must be greatly increased to
win this war. Victory on the battle
field will be impossible unless we first
have victory on the farm, in the FAC
tory and in the mine.
'My bill gives the government the
power to mobilize the man power OF
the nation for industrial service neces-
sary for the maintenance Of the mill
tary establishment as we'll as for mill
tary service. 1t Is simply the prin-
ciple Of compulsory military service
applied to industrial service during the
war. And why not? One service IS
just as essential as the other The
one is of no avail without the other.
Compels All to Serve.
This bill proposes to require Of
compel every ablebQdied man between
the ages Of 10 and so years to serve
where his services shall be most ef-
fective in bringing about a successful
termination Of this war 1dlers and
slackers at home are no better than are
idlers and slackers in the army and
should receive the same treatment. 1t
is high time that the weary loafers
and rich idlers go to work. If they DO
not the wrath Of the nation will surely
fall upon their heads. More deeds and
less words will win the war.
Features Of Bill.
THE three principal features Of the
bill are:
egistration Of all male per
sons between the ages Of Is and go to
enable the government to know where
its man power is located and how 1t
Is employed at present.

Des Molnes, Jan. s.-Increased pro-
duction Of live stock is to be stimulated
by the breeders associations and by
the Iowa state fair by the offering OF
larger premiums at the coming state
fair than ever before The live stock
associations are Increasing their pre-
MUM offers one-tflird and the state
fair management probably will do like
wise.
1t is being planned by the state fair
to add classification for mich goats
and offer Inducements to mich goat
breeders to come to the state fair.
Now that feed is so high mich goats,
which have long been popular in re-
gions where feed is scarce and ex-
pensive, may invade Iowa. In fact many
Of the breeders Of these animals are
anxious to get foothold in the state
and there are already some valuable
pure bred herds Of mich goats in the
state. 1t is claimed the milk Is supe-
rior to cows milk in that it Is much
richer so rich in fact that it can not
be separated by the ordinary cream
separator.

Bender, Of tho agricultural college OF
the University Of Minnesota, formerly
Of the iowa State College, has &C
copied the position Of director Of vo-
cational education and special super
visor OF vocational agriculture in Iowa.
He VIII take up his new work Feb. l
and will make his office with the state
department Of public instruction.
Professor Bender has attained an en-
kiable reputation IN his line Of work
and has had various tempting offers.
The Iowa people were especially anx-
ious to get him. His coming back IS
largely due to the fact that Iowa IS MS
old home. He will have an opportunity
to develop the state along vocational
educational lines and this 1t Is re-
ported, Influenced him in coming back.
He will work under the Smith
Hughes bill and under the Iowa statute
enacted last winter providing for vo-
cational training. Those Iowa COM
munities which vote for courses in vo-
cational training in their schools will
receive government aid equal to one
half Of what the communities them
selves provide.
Great Forward Step.
Superintendent Deyoe considers the
Smith Hughes law az one Of the most
important laws to forward practical
education which has been enacted in
recent years. The law is administered
in this state by the state superintend-
ent, the president Of the state board OF
education and the commissioner OF the
bureau of labor statistics. No salaries
are attached to these positions.
In a recent letter to superintendent
and school officers Of Iowa State SUI
periptendent Deyoe emphasizes es-
pecisNy a thorough training in the Eng
lish language and in the fundamental
principles Of government as among the
important educational qualifications OF
the school boy and girl.
Every child should receive a thor
ough training in the dominant and es-
tablished language Of our nation" he
declares. And also in the organiza-
ton, purposes and principles OF our
government. May the flag. floating
over every school house in the state,
be an inspiration to our boys and girls
to prepare for useful and loyal citi-
zenship."
