PETTIcoATs NOT
TO HIDE STACKER 4
i, . . >><> >><>

DIES MONIES, Iowa, July 25.-An
investigation, it was learned today, of
hundreds of class men in the draft
is soon to be started in Polk county,
with a view toward Redistribution.
All city and county boards, it is
said, will be affected by the probe.
1t is reported that dozens of married
men have secured a place in class 4
on the grounds of dependent wives
and children.
All such men, when it is found that
there is really no grounds for de-
tendency claims, will be placed i'm
mediately in class 2.
In a number of instances it is re
ported, men have been placed in class
on the grounds of dependency and
have since deserted their families or
obtained divorces. All Of these men
will be reclassified.
Dozens of complaints have been re-
ceived by exemption boards about
married men who are thus receiving
a deferred classification far beyond
their just deserts. The fact that
dozens of married men have waived
all claims of exemptions and enlisted
while their wives seek employment
has caused popular wave of resent
ment against this new brand of mar
ried Stacker" who is to be under in
veStigation.

to produce more articles that can be
consumed in their locality.
Particularly, the public should be
encouraged to use food products that
are both good and cheap. At the
present time this includes dairy prod
ucts. The dairy industry has suf-
fered severely because of the reduced
consumption of milk and milk prod
ucts. When the dairy industry SUI
fers, agriculture suffers, and in the
end means smaller production OF
field crops and, therefore, higher
prices for them.
There is need of simplifying and
stabifizing the standards OF foods
produced by the farmer and its dis
tribution. The time should come
when distributors Of foods may deal
more directly with producers through
the aid of established standards and
thus eliminate some expensive hand
ling and sorting that seems unavoid-
able at the present time.
ut is to the interest of all people,
not farmers alone, that production
shall be kept up. This means that all
people, not farmers alone, but those
who live in cities as well, are inter
ested in experimental and educa-
tional activities along agricultural
lines as conducted by the federal
government and the states. These eff
forts should be literally supported

THRESHERS MUST
NOT CUT PRICES
Food Administrator Deems Strictly
Forbids Lowering Price of Work
Late in Season to Get
Customers.

No threshermen will be allowed to
cut his prices toward the end of the
season, and every thresherman in
Iowa must charge a uniform price FOR
his threshing from beginning to end
of the season, ]. F. Deems, food ad-
for Iowa, has ruled.
Price cutting to get business VIII
go with the food administration grain
threshing division" he writes to j. F.
Elder, Lee county administrator, and
we will not allow this practice. Please
instruct your threshermen through
the papers that they must start out
with a certain price for their thresh-
ing and continue this price to the end
of the season"
The reason for this great interest IN
maintaining the price for threshing
grain has to do with saving tood. IL
seems that some threshers run
through the regular season at fixed
price and then offer other neighbor-
hoods a cut price for later work, in or
der to keep going as long as possible;
This means that many farmers VIII
hold their threshing until late in the
fall to get the cut price, and as re-
suit there will be much waste or gram
left standing too long in the shock.

CITY NEEDS TO

Country Folk Must Give Assistance to
Townfolk, Too, President
Of Iowa Colege
Says.

AMES, Ia, July 25.-Business men
and farmers should not be pulling OPP
posite directions, but in the same di-
rection, President r. r. Pearson, of
Iowa State college, now assisting the
United States department of agricul-
ture, told the National Wholesale
Grocers' convention here. Their in
terests demand closer cooperation,
he said and the war emergency de-
mands it.
Business men who want to help
keep agriculture on sound basis,
and all business men who know their
business do, may cooperate with the
farmer in at least half dozen ways,
said President Pearson.
Every business community should
make an active campaign to find the
men employed in stores and Offices
who can be spared to assist on the
farms during the peak of the load.
'In some sections the assistance of
business men is needed to help the
public see that some increased
prices of agricultural products, eggs.
for instance, are legitimate

The big question now is whether
Russia can Withstand such blood-let-
ting. In opposing the forces of i'm
perialism she faces her severest bat
tie Tor political and economic indie
pendence. Only the speediest reor-
ganlzation of the nations physical
and human material can prevent Rus
sia's falling into the status of China

The task is too big for the Bolshe-
wiki. Only the united efforts of the
whole democracy of the country by

can save her.

Will the fifth year be the year of
