MUST STOP SEEKING HELP
Big Concerns Ordered by U. ). to
Quit Advertising For Laborers.

Washington, Jan. 23.-Peremp
tory directions to many large indus
trial concerns to cease widespread
advertising for help which was thou
ght to b eunsettling. the labor supply
and working hardship on individuals
have been sent out by the Depart
ment of Labor.
This action became known today
after a delegation of Virginia truck
farmers told Assistant Secretary
Post they stood to lose one million
bushels of potatoes by inability to
compete with industrial concerns at
tracing men to the cities. They ex-
hibited a large number of advertise
ments in proof of their contention.
Secretary Post assured the delega-
ton the department would cooper
ate in supplying labor for the farm
work. Already steps have been ia
ken to put an end to advertising for
labor by concerns which the depart
ment believes was done for the pur-
pose of attracting large reserve
supply of labor to industrial centers
and thereby lower wages.

Senate Finance Committee eliminates
Section Of War Tax Bill
Regarding Excess 4
Profits.

Iunited Press Leased Wire Service.1
WASHINGTON, Oct. 22.-The SEN
ate finance committee To-Day rejected
and eliminated from the $8,000,O0O,-
600 war tax bill the alternative war
and excess profits written into 1t by
the house. The committee adopted an
amendment which still provides for
war and excess profits, but which does
not give the taxpayer an alternative
method Of computing his tax nor the
treasury department discretion to say
whether a concern shall pay war or
excess profits tax The senate amend
ment will reduce slightly the aggre-
gate amount TO- be collected from war
and excess Profits. 1t reduces some
what the excess profits rates IN &C
cordance with the views OF Secretary
McAdoo. who has vigorously urged
that the excess profits rates provided
for by the public be lowered.
Under the house plan concern
wonId paw whichever Of the two
taxes-war profits or excess pronts-
was higher. The senate plan pro-
vides that upon excess profits up to
twenty per cent thirty per cent tax
shall be paid and on excess pronts
of over twenty per cent a tax OF
sixty per cent. =.
ITpon war profits the house rate OF
eighty per cent is retained. This tax
is to be paid upon that portion OF the
net income rem aiming after deductlng
the sum of credits Of exemptions pro-
vided for plus one and one-quarter
times the amount that would be pala
under the excess profits tax provis-
ions.
Senator Simmons, finance commit
tee chairman, declared committee ex-
merits have demonstrated to maine
matte certainty that this method VIII

more concerns pay war profits than
the house plan would, Simons said
The committee adopted another
amendment providing that when taxes

stallment must be paid on that Date
fixed for filing returns} the secona
on the fifteenth of the second month
thereafter and the third on the nj

Would Keokuk people recommend
Doan's Kidney Pills as they do If the

they confirm their statements after

ences did not show the remedy to be
deserving of It? Statements like the
following must carry conviction to
the mind of every reader:

WAR SAVING
STAMP CAMP IGN
Iowa Still Far Behind and Every
Pledge Made Is Expected to be
Fulfilled to the
Limit
rSnec;al To The Gate City.1


| DIES MONIES. Ia, Oct. 22.-Now
that the Liberty loan campaign is out
of the way steps are to be taken by
the Iowa war savings committee to Sc
cure 100 per cent redemption OF the
war savings stamp pledges made ear
lier in the year. The campaign is to
be put on at the direct request or
Secretary of the Treasury McAdoo,
who declares that the government
expects every pledge to be made good.
Homer A. Miller state director of the
war savings campaign in Iowa today
made the following announcement re-
garding the pledge redemption drive:
Word has gone out to county and
city chairman of the war savings
stamp campaign to begin work at
once to secure 100 per cent collect
ion of war saving stamp pledges
made during the year. They will be-
gin their work at once and will push
vigorously the collections OF all de-
| linquent pledges.
1.-THE government expects and de-
mapds that every citizen of Iowa, who
signed a pledge earlier in the year
for the purchase Of stamps make
good that pledge The government
assumes that every one signed this
pledge in good faith and does not
hold it in the light of mere scrap
of paper"
The government through Secretary
McAdoo also asks that payments due
on pledges in December be paid in
November in order that the entire
campaign in the state can be cleaned
iup by December 1. Iowa has many
millions worth Of stamps yet to buy
and this amount cannot be raised
without 100 per cent redemption OF
all pledges and the purchase OF
stamps to the limit by those who did
not sign pledge. In order to bring
about a full redemption Of all pledges
i ask every Iowan who signed a
pledge to go at once to the bank or
postoffice where 1t is redeemable and
make good on his or her promise to
loan money to the government with
which to finance the war. Reasonab bic
time will be allowed for this. Later
steps will be taken to bring in the de
linouents. The honor. of the state de-
mands that our full quota Of $4S, 0OO.-
600 be sold and we cannot be salts
fled with less.

Instead Of Fiji

The Keokuk Electric company has
withdrawn it's request to make rate
of fifteen cents from Hamilton to
Warsaw. and has submitted a new
rate Of twelve cents to the Illinois
public utilities commission.
When the fare from keokuk to
Hamilton and to Warsaw was raised
in interstate commerce, the fare be-
tween Hamilton and Warsaw, both
in Illinois, had to be approved by the
Illinois board. 1t was proposed to
make it fifteen cents, in harmony
with previous rates and raises, but
1t has been discovered that this would
violate the two cents mile law, and
SO the fare is now proposed at twelve
cents.

Women in other cities, where the

here, are carrying soup and other
food to stricken households.
The women in Omaha and IN chi

day for settlement worker who dis
tributes soup and gives nursing ser

said every woman in that fashion
able suburb was at work. One
woman, a painter of miniatures,
came to the public health office and
said, II can't nurse, 1 haven't any
talent for that, but l can cook and
I've come to volunteer for that" She
was accepted to do that work and as
long as she is needed she will do In

The spirit of the times calls for
service and the women as well as the
