CALLING NANNY HOME.

The Iowa state fair proposes to en-
courage the goat industry in Iowa
Even Iowa, with her pastures and
herds is short of milk and butter. Milk
prices are high and butter unknown
on the tables of the commonalty which
has fallen back upon certain brands Of
oleo that nobody but an expert can
tell for good butter Hence the goat.
A goat needs little more pasture
than a hen. The goat is profuse we
are told of milk. Anybody can keep
a goat anywhere. Nanny and her kids
can be turned loose tc Craze on the
green common and crop the heritage

expense in keeping a goat when you
have thrifty and laborious neighbors.
Similarly with hens.
We should know more about goats

WITH THEIR BACKS TO the WALL.

General Haig told his army that it
must hold, that it was fighting with
backs to the wall and that it must hold
to the last man. And that plucky
British took the word Hike Britons and
settled their backs against the wall
to die there or beat off the German
hordes. And there they stand that this
line of British soldiers with the cour-
age and determination OF their race
With them stanad our own sons with
their backs against the wall.
Is your back against the wall? Have
the orders gone out to US that our
backs are against the wall and that we
must hold the line? And are we ready,
like the British army to tighten our
belts and hold without looking beyond
the present or discounting the future?
The picture Of that brave army
which has withstood the shock OF mil
lions Of the kaiser's trained troops for
weeks Of savage fighting falling in
die ought to inspire this country with
a marvellous determination. 1t ought
TO still every voice that has been raised
against England and the British who
are standing there waiting the event
OF battle with the grim purpose to win
or die
They will hold those positions to the
last man. That's >the type of the
Anglo Saxon in the history Of wars.
VIII we hold our line unbroken here
at home, the line of reserves that has
only the duty of bond buying and food
saving. We are the ammunition and
food reserves of that splendid force
that stands with its back against the
wall Of Amiens to protect moi only
their own country but ours.
This is your battle. Are you ready
to hold Your positions TO the last dol
lar and the last bushel of wheat?

And when they were all there, the

got ready to take picture. He set up
his camera and put his head under the
black cloth. and after he HAD turned
little brass knob. he said:
Don't you move and don't you smile,
Hold your breath little while.

Twinkle, twinkle, little star
But, good gracious me. Just then
something dreadful happened. And it
just spoiled that lovely picture, for

nobody left on the Pleasant Meadow

THOSE TWO CEDAR RAPIDS LAWYERS.

Over at Cedar Rapids two members
OF the Linn county bar are being in
vestigated by the other members Of
the bar because OF alleged disloyal talk
and refusal to buy bonds Both men
are reputed wealthy or at least very
well 70 do and both had denied the
bond solicitors. Reports also credited
them with pro German assertions and
remarks calculated to discourage bond
sales and war activities.
One Of these after meeting was
called had purchased $4,000 worth Of
bonds. OF this one it had been as
serted by a lawyer that he had seen
this particular attorneys name at the
head Of a list captured in federal raic
upon an organization Of questionable
loyalty and other attorneys related re-
marks made by both the men under
fire which cast sharp reflection upon
their Royalties and indicated a sym
patty foreign to the war and the
United States.
Without any doubt the bar Of Linn
county will know what to do about
these members Of their organization
and the Linn county defense council
and the federal officers will DO their
duty. However nat duty seems to go
farther than the mere forcing Of a
bond purchase. Wiling purchase OF
bonds by men amply able to take their

should be 80 considered. Not that II

how the Little Balmy Breszes were
asking everybody In the Friendly For

come to Billy Bunny's May Day
Party. Well. there were one or two,
and maybe three. who weren't invited.
And if you haven't guessed by this

was one, and Old Man Weasel was
two, and, let me see, who was number
three? Why, Of course, Old Robber
Hawk. Nobody wanted these three
robbers, so they weren't invited, but
that isn't saying they didn't come. But

that he did not claim citizenship

eccentricity and his stubborn tenacity
to his opinions in the face of all OPP
position and argument, Is we'll known.
His opposition to war is pronounced.
To him, it has been a religious conyic-
ton, but he stoutly denies that he
sought to discourage his son, Ernest
Boyce, from entering the military
service of his country. His son was
an Anles student, who took the OIL
GERS training course at Fort Smelling,
and is now lieutenant. A few days
ago he left camp. presumably for tho
battle Lines in France. A letter to his
father, written just before his ship
sailed, is just such letter as one
might expect from son to father. upon
leaving for the battle front. 1t is hard
to believe Iils.t suck relations could
exist if the father was at heart dis
loyal to the country the young man
was Offering his life. il needed, that his
country might win victory. MI.
Boyce has asked no correction OF any
statements made concerning him. He
does not insist that he has been in the
IL,
that he has been true to his con-
victions.
The Madisonian has no defense to
make for his actions. That a man who
has been respected as good law
abiding citizen, enjoyed the opportun-
tiles Of free government and the pro-
lection Of the flag in the pursuits OF
life, could stand by while his country
was lighting for its future existence.
IL beyond our comprehension, and the
explanation of religious conviction
does not help matters much. We do
believe that Mr.. Boyce"s failure to
help in the WEI was due TO his obstin-
ate pride Of opinion. rather than a
wish to hinder the progress OF the
war. Our belief il strengthened by the
fact that on Monday, Mr.. Boyce came

IOWA COAL.


1t may be all right, but the con-
sumner will lind it difficult to under
stand why Iowa coal mines are run
ming half time, now while some are
said to have been shut down. 1t is
surely queer state Of affairs. Espec-
ialiy as the announcement is made that
no lower prices are to be expected
at the present time. 1t is going to be
high coal. no matter what the weather
is and whether the roads are over
burdened with other freight or not. 1t
is Just possible that some one higher
up will look into the situation and
that means may be found to regulate
this business. Everybody wants the
mine owners to make money and tho
miners to get good wages, but after all
the consumer ought to be considered at
some stage Of the game. Many people
believe that Iowa coal Is inferior to
Illinois coal. The experts. who have
made all manner OF tests, claim that
such is not the case. 1t appears as II
this would be just the time to popular
ize Iowa COAL and the way to do that
would be to make ii an object to low
ans to buy Iowa coal.

they may be, must be subordinated to
the wish Of the nation in direst stress.
We have no words OF censure and be.
lieve none should be spoken against
those who invoked the law. We have

good motives. We believe that Mr..
Boyce intends to give no man grounds
on which to question his loyalty in
the future. We believe that he will

The federal government is probably

cases of extreme provocation like the

German churches, German schools and
