Club Bulletin.

Club Bulletin.
The club bulletin isued today by the
press committee OF the Iowa Fedora
ton Of Women's clubs has this to say
of the Civic league.
Keokuk's large club is the Civic
league, which does large things for
Keokuk. A list of their standing
committees shows the scope Of
their endeavor. They have among
others, park committee, q
tree committee, a garden committee,
and a committee called ward and COM
missioner's aid. These names suggest
worthwhile, do they not?
At the September meeting Of the
league, a report of the garden super
visor-who, by the way. is a woman
showed the splendid results of her
work in the 600 school gardens Of the
city. The supervisor has forty helpers
who have inspected the gardens"
In speaking of the general club sit
uation in Iowa it says:
"A glance at reports Of club activ-
tiles from over the state shows that
they reflect the spirit Of the times.
While literary and artistic subjects
are not given up entirely, women of
today are studying up-todate ques-
lions and entering into all phases OF
war work. The Red Cross has its
place in almost every club program.
Food conservation, the present absorb
ing interest of American housekeep-
ers, Is given much earnest consider
alton. Many clubs have bought Liberty
bonds and war savings stamps. A large
number have adopted French and Bel
gian orphans. There are many con-
tributions to various war relief agen-
cies.
These war time activities do not
lessen the interest in the altruistic
work to be done here at home. Visit
ing Nurse associations, Y. w. G. A.,
Salvation army, hospitals and schools.
are included in the list Of organiza-
lions assisted by funds given by the
clubs.
During the past summer. splen-
did cooperation with local social SER
vice was given by several clubs, who
arranged with grocers and fruit deal
ers to contribute on Saturday nights,
their leftover supply Of perishable
fruits and vegetables. The distribution
of these and also Of surplus products
from orchards and gardens combined
charity and conservation.
"Many communities are coming TO
realize that war conditions increase
delinquency among our boys and
girls. Women's clubs will render pa
triotic service in working to combat
the evil tendency manifested by lower
standards OF conduct.
"The Parent-Teachers department OF
the Jefferson Women's club is assist
ing in the local war against cigarette
smoking by young boys, and is work
ing for the enforcement of curfew
law.
"The Child Welfare department OF
the Fort Dodge Women's club has or
ganized Parent-Teachers association
in the high school to unite the moth
ers, teachers. and club-members, in an
effort to protect the young people OF
the city from the dangers of the times.
Speaking of the smaller towns,
one notices that they are apt to be the
ones who transgress the food regula-
tons occasionally by serving refresh
ments. We are glad to see that these
occasions are exceptions nowadays.

WEEKLY COTTON

New York, March 9.--Cotton goods prices have advanced sharply during the Last week. The government is arranging the distribution of orders for e3o,o00, 900 yards of bandage cloths among southern and eastern mills. southern mills taking 60.000.000 yards. A price was fixed which is material ly under the current prices paid by ciyilians for similar merchandise, the reported government price being Fl cents and 73 cents per pound, and the civilian price as high as 94 cents. Bleached and brown sheetings. prints, fine combed yarn cloths and print cloths have advanced very rapidly and toward the end of the week many large selling agencies withdrew all prices and all goods until the mar kets become more settled. As high as 16 cents a yard was paid for sub stantial quantity of 381a inch 64x60s, an advance of 1 F cents a yard in a week. Some brown sheetings have ad- vanced PIE cents yard in the same time Civilian buyers are trying to cover their requirements in anticipa- tion of growing scarcity, due in large part to increasing government busi- ness and to decreased production Dur ing the past week mills have been in- creasing their output somewhat as cor sequence of better fuel and trans portation conditions. Prices quoted are as follows: Print cloths. 2S-in, 64x64s. 12Mc; e4x60s, 12c; 3Sh inch. 64x64s, 1thc; brown sheetings southern stan dards. 241ac: denims 220 southern in- digo. 35c; tickings S-ounce, 40c; prints. 1ec; staple ginghams, 19c dress ging- hams. 22hc and 25c.

TOTAL FIGURES
 ONALAbAMA C0QRAM!
Merchantable Corn Aver aged S9 Per Cent Against
 General Average of 60.3
By BRIGGS

Auburn, March 9.-(Special. )--The farm- CTS of Alabama have in their cribs 2s.- 900 more bushels of corn than they a report of the bureau of crop estimates, United States department of agriculture. issued through it's field agent at Auburn. This report shows that there were on the farms 6sf Alabama on March 1, 1918, 41, ,6S 900 bushels of corn. or 54 per cent of the 1917 crop These figures compare with 17,690000 bushels on March 1, 1917, and 33,l50,000 bushels on March l. 1916.
 Data compiled by the field agent with this report indicate that about 100000 bushels of the 1917 crop had been or will be shipped out OF the country in which grown. Apparently. then. about 25,500,0O0 bushels have already been con- stunned on the farms or sold locally dur ing the four months since corn harvest began. Doubtless the outside shipments have been completed at this time. If so, with most of the fattening hogs gone into meat and to market. there is apparently enough corn left to supply the states needs until the new crop Is ready in No- vember, next. Of course this presup- poses the use of supplemental feeds where possible and the careful distribution of corn for bread and absolutely necessary
 
 The farmers of the United States have on hand 1,292, ,905, 900 bushels. as compared with 7S2,303.0O0 last year. and 1.116kaon0o on March 1, 1916.
 Eighty-nine per cent of Alabama raised corn of last year was of nierchantable quality, the average for the United States being only 6o.3 per cent.
 The same report shows that 66, GOO bush- els of wheat of the 1917 crop remained on the farms of Alabama, as compared with 1,000 last year and 156,O00 in 1916. Apparently the scarcity and high prics of wheat have induced the Alabama grower to keep his wheat for bread rather than sell 1t for money. This dis position is general the farms of the United States having on March 1, 119,2T 900 bushels, as compared with 100,650.0 600 last year, in the face of short crop last season.
 Considerable less oats were found on Alabama farms this March than usual only 77s,000 bushels appearing, as com pared with 1,05o,O00 last year, and 2.062o0o In 1916. This Is the direct result of the destructive freee of February, 1917. and the shortage of feedstuffs last year. The United States has 595. 900 bushels of oats, against 394.211.000 last year and 59s 5000 in 1916-
 More than twice as much barley was found on the farms of the United States than year ago, the figures being S9,- 603,000 and 33.244, respectively
