All is quiet at present at Dubuque
and across the state concerning Mr..
Adams and his unfortunate letter. But
it would be too much to expect the
democrats to maintain silence When
the campaign opens If Mr.. Adams Is
still in official leadership Of the re-
publican party of Iowa.
The democratic vets went back on

going to square their conscience to

/ CARROLL COUNTY CASE.

over in Carroll county last week an
excellent bureau OF military affairs
delved into case for the local exemp-
ton board which serves as an illumin-
ating example. They did as fine piece
of work in Strengthening out a tangle
as could possibly be accomplished by
any group of patriotic citizens. The
bureau caused to come before them a
man who came over from Germany at
10 years of age to escape military
service. He is now about Sc years of
age. He Is married and has family
Of five children-four boys and girl.
He has accumulated property to the
extent of $4,000 in value. His oldest
son is about 20, the next one 20 ana
the other two younger. The Oldest son
registered and then apparently forgot
everything else. He didn't respond to
any other requests of the government.
FINALLY he was drafted and sent to
cantonment for training. Then the
family began to poster the exemption
board for the release Of the son from
the service. They were exceptionally
persistent, and in the showing to the
authorities forgot to mention the
presence Of the 2o-year old boy in the
family. 1t was claimed that quarter
section Of land in the family could not
be farmed il this older son were not
released.
The military bureau took hold OF the
matter and in the interview with the
father these facts were developed: He
had come here without a dollar. He
had reared his family and amassed a
comfortable fortune. He could operate
the farm without this elder son. He
had bought no liberty bonds, he had
given nothing to the Red Cross. His
sole contribution to the war was 81
given to the K G war fund. When
he left the meeting with the bureau
members he had seen new light. He
had subscribed for $4,000 worth of
bonds. made a substantial donation to-

ADVISING SLACKERS.

| Attention is called to a story in the
news columns from Hampton relating
the action of the Franklin county coun-
| Gil Of defence and the circumstance
that led UP to its action. Resolutions
are stringingly condemnatory of the
| Iowa Homestead and J. M. Pierce as it's
publisher and one Richard Rodemeyer.
The council Of defence has had made
and circulated Photographic copies of
| a letter received from the Iowa Home
stead by Rodemeyer advising him that
none is compelled to buy liberty bonds,
that any person can buy or not as he
chooses and that there is no penalty in
the matter. Mr.. Rodemeyer sought
further information it appears from
the reply for he is told that person
living in Iowa can take a train and go
into wet state and bring home
liquor The defense council resented
the apparent unwillingness of Rode
meyer to buy bonds and the seeming
willingness Of the Homestead to assist
him in finding a legal cathode whereby
he might escape. The Homestead
letter to the Stacker who had refused
the second loan was brought out by
him as his authority for refusing the
present loan. And then the council
took notice Of it.
Not one word of advice in that let
ter from James NJ. Plerce's Homestead
office suggested any obligation to this
man that he owes anything to his
country. Merely the advice that he is
not legally bound to buy bonds and the
further advice that there is no penalty
for refusal: that and the further ad-
vice that he can take the Stacker man
ev he refuses to lend the country that
protects and prospers him and sneak
off into wet state to buy and bring
home booze with it.
There is no law to affix penalty
upon Rodemeyer's refusal to buy
bonds. Neither is there any legal PEN
atty whereby the advice wherein he
found support and comfort in his UNI
patriotic attitude my be punished.
There is no legal enactment to require
a public speaker to refrain from apoth-
costing Germany while refusing to
make mention of the causes which
forced US into war with that brutal ma
ton. But there is a force OF public
opinion that takes note OF slackers
who whether they refuse to buy bonds.
whether they assist those who desire
to evade a common patriotic duty with
advice. or whether they skirt the
edges Of disloyalty in public addresses.
1t is beyond common belief will Rove
meyer could have gone to any lawyer
in Hampton for advice and taken
away the assurance that he couldn't be
penalized for refusing to buy bonds
without taking at the same time an
assurance that it was his duty and his
patriotic obligation. 1t is hardly to be
believed that any attorney in Iowa
would have done differently. Nor isl
il to be believed that any newspaper
in Iowa could have received that letter
without at once recognizing it as the
appeal of a Stacker or replied to it
without a word concerning the duty OF
a patriot.
There is no legal penalty so far. 1t
is a matter for the court of public
opinion. There they are, Rodemeyer,
the Homestead and the owner of the
Homestead. What's the verdict.

Now. in the last story, you remember
there suddenly came a dreadful loud
noise as Uncle Lucky was having his
fortune told inside the gypsy wagon.
And what do you suppose 1t was?
You'll never guess, so I'll tell you right
away. 1t was circus parade. Yes.
sir! Uncle Luckyis Circus was coming
to town. You see, the old gentleman
rabbit, altho he owned the circus,
didn't have much to do with it, for he
had very good manager to take
charge Of all the animals and clowns.
And this manager was Billy Bunny's
old friend, the Elephant.
Goodness gracious meebus!" ex-
claimed Uncle Lucky, as he hoped out
OF the gypsy wagon. III that isn't my
circus!" And he handed the old gypsy
woman a fifty carrot gold piece, and
then he and Billy Bunny hoped into
the Luckymobile and followed the
long line OF circus wagons, while the
band played:

ARMY REGULATIONS
 URGE CORDIAL RELATIONS

The following paragraph of Army Regulations is the only rule now ex- isting regarding the relationship be- tween officers and enlisted men:
 Supporters are forbidden to injure those under their authority by tyr annical or capricious conduct or by abusive language. While maintaining discipline and the thorough and prompt performance of military duty, all officers, in dealing with enlisted men, will bear in mind the absolute necessity of so treating them as to preserve their self-respect. Officers will keep in as close touch as possible with the men under their command, will strive to build up such relations of confidence and sympathy as will insure the free approach of their men to them for counsel and assistance. This relationship may be gained and maintained without relaxation of the bonds of discipline and with great benefit to the service as whole"

TEST PLAN TO DELIVER
 ARMY TRUCKS TO PORTS

Army trucks for use in France are being delivered to the Atlantic sea- board from interior storage depots under their own power.
 If the plan is successful, the deliv- cry of the 30,000 war trucks under construction under their own power will release 15,000 freight cars which would be required to transport them by rail. It will also provide adequate opportunity for the training of an eff fective corps of transport drivers and officers, who will reach France with a minimum of training to be required. Wear and tear on the trucks will be slight compared with the benefits de- rived from their use.

PARTY FROCKS FOR
 SCHOOL MAIDENS GAY

Holiday time is drawing near, when
 the boys and girls of school age (and
 any age for that matter) are planning parties and all manner of good times. The question of dainty dresses for the girls has been successfully met, in many instances, by frocks of sum mery materials, suitable for our warm American houses and also for the summer festivities and warm days. Some of the big stores here in New York are making quite a speciality of these holiday togs, this year, and they are refreshingly simple and dainty. The materials are, in many cases, all over embroidery, net, Georgette crepe, null or organdie, instead of the more elaborate silks and satins of year

109 GERMAN SHIPS ARE
 NOW IN SERVICE OF NATION

Sailing under American names in the service of the United States are 109 German ships damaged by their crews prior to their seizure by the Government when war was declared. They add more than 500,000 gross tonnage to the transport and cargo fleets in war service for the United States.
 There is evidence that a German central authority gave orders for dam- age to these ships, so that none could be operated in less than IS months, and documentary proof that the ene- my believed much of the damage to be irreparable. In less than eight months all the ships were in service.
 The former German liners, sailing under distinctly American names, are now fitted as troop and cargo ships. Each is convertible to a completely equipped hospital ship for return voyage service.

LOGICAL TRADEfAT
 HOME ARGUMENT

The following excellent article on home trading appeared in recent is- sue of the Journal of Agriculture:
 There is a great deal more wisdom in buying at home and so keeping our money at home than may at first ap- pear. Grant that the home merchants send most of what we spend with them away to pay for the products they sell us. Even so, the profits on what we buy stays in the community to support families there who have an active home interest and contrib ute to the upkeep of roads, schools, and other community development. When the profit goes to merchants in far-away city none of it comes back in taxes or otherwise. It is lost to the community and the people are so much poorer.
 Merchants are somewhere going to live from the profit of the goods we buy. Isn't it better that they should be home merchants who will return portion of that profit to the com munity than merchants of some city that means nothing to us? A farm ing community loses something of vastly greater value than the little money it may save by trading away from homt, when that course kills its town, as i; certainly will if carried far enough The town has a social value that cannot be lost without los ing a great many other values be- sides.
 Stop and think how much the meet ing t1ere with friends and neighbors has been worth to you. How many tines have you run across someone who had the seed corn, hay or pigs you wanue5a,2 Or someone who need ed something you lad to sell? Out side of this isn't it worth good deal just to drive in of a Saturday after noon and talk over lot of things you have been thinking of all week with the folks you know?
 You know the home merchant. He has most likely grown up in the com munity. He is a friend who will see you through tight spell if the need arises. Go to him, as the farmers of one community I have in mind did, and tell him what you want. Let him get it for you in carload quan- titles and see if he doesn't pretty nearly meet mail order prices.
 If his prices are little higher, ask yourself before you send away for the goods, if the convenience and life of your own town isn't worth the small difference. Be assured it will come back to you in many ways. Think it over folks, think it over!

look upon the erstwhile humble spud as raised to the aristocracy of mock ing birds tongues and mock turtle bouillon. You would get three very small specimens with serving at a restaurant if you paid extra and tip ped the waiter. In the homes, the po- tato was entirely forgotten while the housewives busted themselves with mysterious connections of rice, ct cet- era. In other words, the American people got out of the habit of using potatoes because they were high. Now that they are cheap, they do not real- ize it and that the path is open to ef- feet material reduction in the cost of living. Good potatoes are the cas- jest thing in the world to keep at this season of the year and the wonder is that more people do not buy them by the sack as they used to do."
 From which it will be seen that it is up to the public to help the Flag staff potato raisers out of the hole. This can be done by insistance on the part of the household buyer upon get ting genuine Flagstaff potatoes at a reasonable price and the cooperation of the retailer and wholesaler in sec ing that the consumer is supplied with Flagstaff potatoes at a reasonable price. In this connection, however, it should be remembered that the Flag staff potato is the superior quality and this, together with the fact that the raisers paid five and six cents a pound for their seed entities them to slightly higher price.--Arizona Re- publican.
