Opposition to Houck Develops.

Judge Hobson's successor has al-
ready been named by Gov. Harding, he
having announced Tuesday the ap-
pointment of Charles M. Houck, De-
corah attorney who is little known out
side of that city. The governors ac-
tion was a complete surprise, as the at
torneys of the district were to meet at
Calmar today to decide upon whom
they would recommend for appoint
ment. There were several aspirants,
among them Attorneys H. E. Taylor Of
this place, Price of Elkader, Houck, the
party named. and one or two others.
The really eligible barristers of the dis
trict who by age and experience are
fitted for the place are D. D. Murphy
of Elkader, John McCook of Cresco.
Frank Ssyre of Decorah, and D. J.
Murphy Of Waukon, but they all hap,
pen to be democrats, which put them
be, ond consideration, regardless of oil
of this herslded non.partisan judiciary
in Iowa.-Waukon Democrat.
A wave of resentment is growing
against the candidacy of Houck in the
June primaries occasioned by the in
decent haste with which his Decorah
friends petitioned for his appointment
the day Of Judge Hobson's death, and
Governor Harding comes in for gen.
erous amount of criticism for the ap-
pointment before the burial of Judge
Hobson of man who is but little
known outside his county. Had Houck
been an attorney of prominence there
might have been an excuse in an early
appointment to avoid strife, but at
torneys over the district who feel that
the position of judge is more one of
dignity and ability than a political
plum, resent the methods used in OBJ
taing the appointment, and are already
behind the candidacy of H. E. Taylor.

W. S. Stamp Campaign Next Week.


A statewide intensive War Savings
Stamp campaign to begin April 18th
and last one week was decided upon at
q recent meeting in Des Moines of
group, vice group and city chairmen
called by Homer A. Miller. state direc-
tor of the campaign.
The decision to stage an intensive
campaign was reached when it was
learned that the state is $40, 600, 600
behind schedule in the sale of War Saw
ings Stamps. The quota for the State
Of Iowa is $4s. 900, 900. This means
that the $40, 900, 900 will have to be
made up and that in the future citi-
zens of the state will have to buy
stamps at the rate of $1,000, 900 per
week if the quota is to be sold by the
end of the year.
The purpose of the state drive is two
fold:
: First-To make up in cash sales Of
stamps the $40, OOO. 600 the state is now
behind schedule.
Second-To secure thru promises for
future purchase pledges that will make
It reasonably easy for sales to be kept
ny to the 81, 0OO, 900 per week rate.
More than forty War Savings Stamp
workers from every section of the
state attended the meeting in Des-
Moines. All were enthusiastic over the
respects. It was decided to 60 after
sales in the sa me manner as that adop-
ted in the Liberty Loan campaign.
Stamp solicitors will be backed by
the same authority as Liberty Loan
workers and will be provided with yell
low cards on which to list stamp slack
efs. AS was the case. in the Liberty
Loan campaign, refusal to buy stamps
will be Investigated by the Secret Ser
vice department. zer.s.
NJ The states quota of S48, 600, 900
Sneans that sales must aggregate $50
Tor every man, woman and child in
Iowa. The fact that thousands of peo-
pie will not be able to subscribe this
amount means that many must up to
the 81, 900 limit allowed by the govern
ment. Il zH -.S..--
In addressing those attending the
meeting Director Miller said: 'The
people of Iowa must get it out of their
heads that War Savings Stamps are
for children only. The governmental il
going to raise 1900, 600. 600 thru the
sale of stamps. This sum is equal to
that raised in the first Liberty Loan
campaign. No one thought that loan
should be raised by children.
adults are just as much obligated to
buy War Savings and Thrift Stamps
as they are to buy Liberty Bonds. The
money raised by each goes into the
same fund, the great fund that is be-
ing used to finance the war. 1t is not
child's play to raise this amount and
every loyal Iowan must get into the
harness unless he wants his state to 60
on record as having failed to meet re-
quest of the government.
The campaign will take the form of
personal solicitation Leaders are con-
fident that the $40, 600, 600 in cash sales
will be made dnring the weeks drive
and that Iowa will respond with pledg-
es that will go far toward carrying the
state over the top.

AN ACRE OF NAVY BEANS IN EVERY
SCHOOL DISTRICT IN IOWA.
"Owing to the extreme necessity Of
raising more food to feed our soldiers
and those of our Allies. the State Su-
perintendent of Public Instruction
deems it necessary that the schools of
Iowa respond in every way to the Cow
ernment's call for greater food produc-
tion. t"''5
At . special meeting of County Su-
perintendents of the State. held in Des-
Moines the last week in February, q
plan was presented which we will call
our school war bean project. The plan
calls for raising at least an acre of
navy beans in every school district in
Iowa. Pupils may take up this work
at home personally or collectively on
school ground if such is az ailable. It
is suggested that teachers and pupils
try to encourage the raising Of beans
by farmers and others, the same to
count to the credit of the district in
the report of amount raised in the dis
trict. This work should be taken up
by the teacher and pupils in every
school in the state and brought to the
attention of every person who might
raise beans. In all cases the work will
be known rs school district bean rais-
ing projects encouraged by the school
teachers and children of Iowa, working
with the local club and garden leaders,
farmers, and others. Some pupils
should be able to get garden club cred
it for raising beans. We urge the
hearty cooperation Of all forces in the
district on this important district &C.

trict and to>the county that produces
the most beans. Those offered are as

Bean Bullet Campaign in Iowa Scheols.


The following notice from Supt. A.
M. Deyoe has been sent to every school
in Howard County. The teachers as .
whole have responded loyalty to all war
measures and we know they will on
this bean project, but they can do little
unless they receive the support of tho
parents. Give the boys and girls some
seed beans and q plot. The poorest
soil on the farm, unless it is wet, is
good for beans. If you haven't poor
spot on the farm let them plant few
beans in each corn hill; it won't hurt
the corn and it will be good for the
soil. Howard County is small but it
each boy End girl plants all he can. We
shall 60 'over the top" with the other
counties and perhaps ahead of them.
