PROVED SPIRIT
OF DEMOCRACY
Voluntary Basis Of Food Saving
Showed Heart of America
Beat True for Freedom.

To the voluntary service and sacr1-
fee OF the American people must he
attributed the continued health.
strength and morale of the Allied ar
mics and the civil populace.
Upon this spirit Of service and sac
rifce will depend Europe's fate in the
months to come. In the past year we
have carried out IN export program.
the magnitude of which Is almost be-
yond comprehension. But with the
new demands that have come, with
the liberation Of nations freed from
German oppression, our exports mus'
he almost doubled. Instead Of IL $50.
600 tons, we must ship twenty million
tons of food to Europe in the coming
year-as much rs can be pushed
through our ports.
If the Allies had not been fed by
America. it would have been impos-
sible for them 10 maintain their de-
Tense against Germany.
Meeting this world need on n purely
voluntary basis. the American people
have conclusively proved that democ-
rucy Is a success ano that in time OF
need 1t will rise to its w Cefense.
II there were no other accomplish.
ment to Its credit the very fact mat II
has shown the strength of democracy
has in itself more than justified the
existence Of the Food Administration
In the eyes of the world.
Less than four months after the
United States declared war the United
States Food Administrator expressed
his determination to meet Americas
food problem on a basis of voluntary
action and reiterated his confidence
that awakened democracy would prove
Irresistible.
MANY thinking Americans" said
Mr.. Hoover, land the whole world
have been watching ~anXiously the last
four months in the fear that demo-
cratic America could not organize to
meet autocratic Germany. Germany
has been confident that 1t could not be
done. Contrary proof Is Immediately
at our door, and our people have al
ready demonstrated their ability to
mobilize. organize, endure and prepare
voluntarily and efficiently In many d.
rections and upon the mere word OF
inspiration aside from the remarkable
assemblage of our Army and finances.
The history of the Food Administru.
ton has clearly shown that the trust
of those who put their faith In democ-
racy has not been misplaced.

varied sounds Of all their eager labor.
The things they made, which car,
ried q message Of love from the women
of this country, quite apart from their
grsat money value, ven from their
work-rooms on great adventures. They
have gone into front line trenches, to
emergency hospitals in foreign villages
and into the most modern operating
rooms. They have wrapped lost and
frightened children in warmth and
sheltered aged refugees from the cold!
They have gone overseas into strange
and sad places, into Russia and Ser
bia and Palestine and Italy ana
France. They have gone Into our own
huge cantonments for u W young
soldiers.
The Department Of Nursing Of tho
American Red Cross Is the great re-
cruiting agency Of the United States
Army and Navy Nurse Corps. BY the
first of October II had assigned over
$4,000 graduate nurses to active mill
tary service at home n abroad. 10
has provided over 700 nurses for the
Federal Public Health Service and the
Red Cross Town and Country Nursing
Service which ~co-operates with the
local health boards in the communities
which II serves.
The statement Of the Home Service
of the American Red Cross TO all OF
our fighting men that 1t is prepared to
heln in any emergency that may arise
in their ~homes-help In legal ways,
medical ways, business ways. friend
ship ways-would not be possible with
out the vision and the active co-opera'
ton of thousands Of American women,
In every division Of the Red Cross,
from coast to coast and from Canada
to Mexico, they have seen this service
as the elemental right due from ths
American people to their defenders.

REFLECTIONS OF A GRANDFATHER.

Cicero. with all his faults and some
times fooltshness Of youth and middle
age was a wise old guy when he
found content and quiet happiness in
age. Perhaps Cicero wrote his essay on
age after he had been informed that
he was grandfather for the first time.
This grandfatherhood is like father
hood. a new and strange experience.
In most ways it has it over the earlier
experience. Something and some one
new has come into the life of the
grandparents as came into the lives Of
the parents: but in this later exper-
fence others have had all the trouble
and expense connected with the arri-
val. The fright hasn't been grandpa's
this time and he foresees no sudden
upr:sings O nights. no heating of milk
over gas flame. In this new
experience ne is anxious but unafraid
hopeful without serious worry. willing
to wait while others administer saffron

YOUR CREDIT IS GOOD.

For nifty years the Times Republican
has been glad to extend credit to It's
subscribers and the subscribers have
been paying their bills without serious
loss TO the publishers. This policy
would not have been changed today
had not the war industries board at
Washington ordered that no white
paper would be allowed to publisher
unless they would stop sending ii TO
subscribers who had not paid for it.
Some publishers have used paper
wastefully in order 10 stun their cir
Culation reports and the way board
seeks 70 cut them out by requiring
readers to pay for the papers they get.

Vt DOES NOT HIT IOWA.

The difference between words and
accomplishment was never better ex-
emplifed than in the present liberty
loan situation.
The president has found it necessary
to call upon the country to get under
the loan. The loan is tagging in sec
tons. II is tagging seriously in the
east with its fairly fabulous war prrits
and war wages where war work has
been centralized.
Meantime Iowa as the Minneapolis
Journal puts it has been standing
around with hands in pockets having
handed in its quota Of the loan in a
single day.
Now be il remembered that those
loan slackers in the east had the as
surance TO attempt TO put the Stacker
stigma on Iowa in the early days Of
the war. over east they were busy
vas awaiting the orders of the presi-
dent and those in charge of the coun-
try's Gestinies. When the call came
Iowa's sons stepped 10 the recruiting
offices with the same calm purpose
while enlistnents Jagged in the east.

and professions in Iowa to stimulate
enlistments. Iowa didn't need them.

for the amount asked. a check good
before every counter in the world. And
she did it again and again and yet
again. And stands ready to draw a.
many more as the crisis demands. But
she hasn't waved the pen and shouted
| while leaving the ink on another table
and out of reach. The Iowa pen and
! ink and checkbook are always at hand
and together. She pays her debts with
| money and service. There is no four
| flush about Iowa.
