IOWA PRESS COMMENT.

Cedar Rapids Republican: General
Pershing comes out of this war with
the confidence not only of the men
who have served under him, but with
the confidence OF the American
people In nearly two years that he
has been before the world he has
done nothing amiss and he has
escaped all criticisms. He has escaped
such criticism not because ne has
been lacking in aggressiveness. but
because everyone has felt that he
was attending his own proper bust
ness and saying little about it.
Eldora Ledger: Governor Harding
may make it a bit warm for some
of his opposition In the next two
years. Folks who didn't like his Ian
guage edict may find he still holds
the trump cards on that order. The
| Legislature may enact a new law that
win be alright in that matter.
Rolph Arrow: It is still true that
those who have loved the kaiser
more than they have loved the U.
IS A should go home. There are two
lreasons-they are needed over there.
and their hearts are there.

Davenport Times: Germany is hav-
! ing hard time convincing herself
that she is a defeated nation, judging
by the Quips and quirks being raised
lover the armistice terms. The Teu-
! ton mind is slow to grasp the fact
that beggars OF peace cannot be
choosers of terms or dictators of the
enemy's policies
/ Council Bluffs Nonpareil. II the
sentiments of the people Of this coun-
/ try are to prevail in dealing with
Germany's appeal for food supplies,
/ the Huns will go back to the end
of the line behind Belgium, France,
England, Italy, Poland, Serbia and
some others and await in patience
its turn.

ststent letter writer may be classed

tian world sings He Is Risen" the

take about it."
Boone News-RepubIican We be-
lieve in feeding the Germans If it
has to be done, but not until every
I body else has enough to eat
Davenport Democrat: Perhaps the
stories of the prisoners who are now
being liberated by Germany viii have
much to do with fixing our estimate
: of the amount of help that Germany
deserves from US, and whether her
needs should be given equal consid-
Grafton with that Of other suffering
IA tions.

The main difference between experts who
are advising the government to take over con-
troll Of public utilities and other people is in
the success that the former have in concealing
how little they really know about the conduct

CANCELLATION OF THE HOW
ARD QUINTETTE

A third telegram came from the
Extension Division of the State Uni
versity, stating that the Howards
had again changed dates in the
west. The Local Management wrote
them asking that the contract be
cancelled. This was done because
it is getting too late to have them,
without encroaching too closely up
on many other scheduled events
including Ralph Parlette, who is
to appear on Thursday May 2.
All ticket holders will be admit
ed to the Operetts, TN A FLOWER
GARDEN which is to be given in
the opera house on Friday May 3rd.
1t was thought by many that the
above arrangement would be salts
factory to most ticketholders. The
funds of the Lyceum Course will be
merged with that of the Operetta,
and the proceeds used for the
JUNIOR RED CROSS AUXILI-
AIRY of the grades.
Those who are not satisfied with
this arrangement will make it
known to the management, where.
upon ONE SIXTH OF the price OF
the season ticket will be refunded.
Next year, Committee of Citi.
zens. of whom Frank Allen. is Sec
retary, will offer course entirely
from REDPATH, and there is
every assurance that each number
will be good and that it will appear
when advertised.

Think it over!
From the progress already made
in the bond campaign, it appears
that the danger is not that too few
people will subscribe SO much as
that too many of us will subscribe
TOO LITTLE Even the MINIMUM

FIRST AERIAL WEDDING

When you are completely away
from the earth you have quite a de-

about it and when you are going a

anything to gauge your speed by-no
