FACE the FACTS

EFT face the facts. The war situation is critical

fought defeat threatens. Hungry cannot fight
at their best; nor hungry nations France, England
and Italy are going hungry unless feed them.
Wheat savings-They must have wheat. 1t is the
bestsfood to fight 1t is the easiest to ship. We
less than quarter of what we ate last year-we can
support those who are fighting our battles And
do it without stinting ourselves. We have only
to substitute another food just good.
The Corn of Plenty-Corn is that food There's
surplus of it. Providence has been generous in the
hour of our need It has given us corn in such bounty
as was never known before. Tons of corn. Train
loads of corn Five hundred million bushels over and
learn to appreciate it. Was ever patriotic duty made
easy? And so clear?
Americas Own Food-Corn It is the true American
food The Indians, hardest of races, lived on it.
Our forefathers adopted the diet and conquered a
continent. For great section of country it
has blong the staff of life. How well the South
fought on it, history tells Now it can help America

,Glidden, April 19.-The members Of

of Glidden, have taken the initiative in
prohibiting the use of German Ian
guage over the wire. There has been
more or less friction because Of un-
necessary foreign talk on this line so
the following resolution has been
passed:
eve, the members of the Mackey
telephone line have concluded, owing
to the trouble liable to grow out Of
the use Of the German language on
the line, that any members using Ger
man must discontinue it's use on the
line for the duration of the war or we

The resolution was prompted by the
persistence of one subscriber on the
line engaging in the needless talk OF
German. Several of his neighbors
called upon him and asked that the
offense be discontinued and informing
him that service would be cut off if he
did not cease this kind of talk. The
committee says the man in question
met them with a shotgun and told
them they would be sorry If they in

MORE THAN 675,ooo ACRES SEED
ED TO CROP THIS
SEASON..
ACREAGE GREATER THAN
ANY YEARS SINCE 1904
An Increase of go Per Cent Compared
to Last Year and Production Of
100000 Bushels Is Expected-Fields
in Splendid condition-CooI Weather
Aids in Root Development.

Special to Times Republican.
Ames, April 19.--Iowa farmers have
seeded more than $4,000 acres to
spring wheat. That is their response
to Uncle Sans call upon them to help
win the war by increasing their wheat
production That is more spring wheat
than has been seeded in this state in
any year since 1904. 1t is, an increase
of at least 2T0 per cent over year
ago. 1t is a larger acreage than the
twenty-one year average, which in
cludes the years long ago when Iowa
seeded this crop heavily. That acre
age, if it yields the Il year average,
will produce about 100000 bushels oil
wheat, which will help some.
These figures are official, being
based on reports from the county
agents thruout the state and compiled
by the agricultural extension depart
ment at Iowa State College. In some
counties the increase in acreage over
a year ago was as much as 1900 per
cent" said Director r. Il Bliss, Of the
extension work The three counties
highest in gains were Clayton, Buch-
anan and Taylor, but gains were made
IN every county of the state.
Crop in Good Condition.
Just as satisfactory are the reports
from county agents on the condition OF
spring wheat at this time. The crop
was put in under conditions that were
unusually favorable. Seeding was
completed early. two or three weeks
earlier than customary. The cool
weather has encouraged the develop
ment Of a good root system for the
young plants. Generally the ground
has been slightly dry, but no damage
has been caused by drynests so far
The present weeks rains have met
moisture needs for the present.
Iowa farmers were ready to SEED
even more spring wheat. However,
some difficulty was experienced In
getting seed. In all 142 carloads OF
seed wheat. about $4,000 bushels,
were brought in thru county agents
orders for about Is cars more were
cancelled because Of delay in delivery.
That was not large loss says P. Z.
Taft secretary of the state seeds stock
committed Several factors made IL
difficult to get seed promptly. The
season was from two to three weeks
early turnout the state and that short
ened the delivery period by that much.
Then, Iowas demand for seed sur
prised the food administration; it was
not expecting so hearty a response TO
the secretary of agriculture's call for
more spring wheat, but when it saw
what was coming it did the best pos
sible. In this connection it is to be re-
membered that the food administra
ton was obliged to ship to the sea :
board train load OF 40 to 30 cars
every night. Finally, the car shortage
made for some delays.

RED CROSS CHICKENS.
Novel Plan in Story County to Aid in
Raising Funds.

Special to Times Republican.
Nevada April 1e-"Raise a chicken
for the Red Cross" is to he the slogan
OF movement which has been started
in Story county by aIrs. o. r, Hiser,
of this city, and which is likely to
have a statewide growth.
The idea came to Mrs. Hiser some
time ago and at a recent meeting OF
the chairmen CT the Red Cross chap
tiers of Story county, which was held
in this city. she proposed the move
and it was adopted
Mrs ,Hiser was appointed by U. s.
Alderman to take charge OF the cam
raign in the district covered by the
Nevada chapter and will appeal to
the people of the district for aid in
the work.
The idea is for every one who Is
within the district who raises chickens
to pledge one fowl to the Red Cross
which is to be delivered at time des-
ignated later in the season, when the
chickens are grown and ready for
market and they will be sold at auc-
ton for the benefit o. the Red Cross.
Bv this means it is hoped to raise
thousands Of chickens for this pur-
pose.
1t is the idea Of Mrs Hiser to keep
I'D an enthusiasm in the campaign by
window displays in the stores OF the
various towns as we'll as newspaper
publicity and secure the necessary
pledges of as many chickens as pos
sible.

out. Some 29S,530 cars have been reg
istered to date as compared to 226, S5d
up to the corresponding time year
ago. The smaller amount OF money
taken in is explained by the secretary
of states Office to be due to the in
creasing number of cars which have
been owned four years or longer and
are therefore paying only half rate.
There is also a considerable sum which
is delinquent but which the secretary
of states office hopes to collects-

ROAD LITIGATION ENDS.

Troubles Growing Out Of Failure OF
Contractor Settled Out Of Court.
Special to Times Republican.
Dubuque, April 19.-Forestallng ex-
pensive, litigation and ending a contro-
versy that has endured more than a
year, involving the county board OF
supervisors, Contractor Donald jeffrey.
his bonding company, the National
Surety Company Of Chicago and his
trustee in bankruptcy, H. B. McCabe,
was reached yesterday afternoon.
Under the termA of the agreement, the
bonding company will pay to the
county of Dubuque: the sum Of $500
within ten days. The machinery used
by Contractor jeffrey, under the settle
ment, will be left on the road until the
work Is completed at which time 1t
will be returned to the bonding COM
pany, which will dispose of It.
1t was more than three years ago
that the Hawkeye road Improvement
was inaugurated and the contract let
to Donald jeffrey. The original plan
called for the expenditure Of about
SIS, 900, but shortly after the work was
started. 1t was seen the cost would
mount to $4,000 more than that sum.
The county was to assume the greater
share Of the cost altho $4,000 of the
sum was to be received from federal
road fund. The Hawkeye Improvement
Association, formed here, was also to
assume part of the burden.
Over year ago it was seen that the
contractor would suffer loss If he COM
pleted the work under the original
contract Uncertain weather condi-
lions, labor troubles and other in
cidents tended to delay the work and
increase the cost Of pushing the work
to completion. At length Contractor
jeffrey surrendered his contract and
filed a petition in Bankruptcy. A
trustee was then appointed. The latter
attempted to push the work ahead for
time, but It was realized soon that
the bonding company would have to
assume entire liability.
No announcement was made by
members Of the board OF supervisors
as to when another contract would be
let, which would call for completion OF
the work started by Mr.. Jeffrey.

Todate Iowa has sold 3S,00o,0o0 in
war savings and thrift stamps. II the
state were maintaining the schedule II
is necessary to maintain to sell the
quota within year the sales at the
present time would be In the neigh
borhood Of $16,000,000.
The war savings stamp dive will be
carried out in much the same manner
as was the liberty loan drive which
recently was brought to such a sue
cessful conclusion. Teams Of workers
will be organized in each community
for the personal solicitation of citizens
and business houses
In addition to this. steps will be
taken to have the stamps placed on
sale in stores, picture theaters, soda
fountains, cigar stores, etc. The pur-
pose of the drive is to make It inn
possible for person to turn around
in Iowa without being confronted oS
a war savings or thrift stamp and re-
minded of the necessity for buying.
During the liberty loan campaign
the active solicitation of stamp sales
ceased and those who were engaged
in the sale Of stamps Joined arms with
the bond statesmen and helped put the
campaign across. Liberty loan work.
ers now will be called upon to recipro-
cate and they will be enlisted in the
intensive w. s. s. drive.
Banks of the state have been in
structed to sell stamps over the coun-
ter and take pledges for future pur-
chases just as they are doing with
liberty bonds. They will keep these
pledge cards on file and will see that
the pledges are carried out.
One Of the features Of the drive will
be the campaign to form war savings
societies in the schools, churches,
lodges and in other organizations. The
societies are formed to provide a means
for the systematic purchase OF stomps.
