One hundred and fifty-six of as
fine boys as ever lived started on
the first lap Of their journey. to
France, Wednesday morning. Call
ed to the colors, these boys will. re-
present us and help fight to the
finish allthe huns that may come
out Of the holes. There are no
school children in this bunch, all
are matured men and educated
gentlemen. Without exception,
these boys have all been raised in
clean Christian homes.
Hundreds Of our citizens cheered
the boys as they passed through
our station, and gave valuable
treats.to each. The Catholic ladies
gave each fine lunch that will be
served at luncheon time in their
dining cars while on the way.

WILLIAM WISSLER
IMPROVING SLOWLY.

1t will be a pleasure to the
friends Of Mr.. William Wissler to
know that his condition is much
better than it has been for several
weeks.
1t will be remembered that seve-
raj weeks ago he cut one of his
hands with a saw while at work
when infection had set in and his
arm had been swelled to his shoul-
der. The arm has been lanced
several times to relieve him and
last week it was thought best to
lance it freely. An opening was
made in the arm about fourteen
inches in length, from which opera
ton he is recovering satisfactorily.
All feel that the worst is over
and that he will soon be up and out
again. His brother, the Rev.
H. Z. has been with him for several
days.
In a letter to his sister, Miss AM
Der Kelsey, received here last
| Thursday, Gunner Claude Kelsey
states that he with his pilot succeed
ed in bringing down German
| plane the middle of June.

SAVE SUGAR

Why are the people of the United
States asked to limit themselves to-
3 pounds Of sugar per person per
month for household use?
In order that the people Of Eng
land may have 2 pounds per person
per month; the people Of France
] l-2 pounds per person per month;
the people Of italy / pound per
person per month.
These amounts are not guaran-
TEDDY the allied governments, but
are the maximum amounts that
will be furnished if supplies can be
obtained.
SUGAR SUPPLY
Where does, America get her
sugar?
so per cent from Cuba; Is U
S: beet; 5 Louisiana cane; l2 Ha-
waii; remainder from Porto Rico,
Philippines, etc.
Where did the Allies formerly get
sugar?
France, Italy and the low
countries raised their own. England
received more than one-half from
-. L i t. (. il s1I =
the Teutonic Empires, imported
largely from Java, and got a little
from the British West Indies.
8 Where do the Allies now get
their sugar?
The. Central Powers as a source
are cut off. Production in Italy
and France is only about one.third
what it was before the war. They
must depend very largely now upon
American sources Of supply.

GOVERNOR HARDIhG'S
|MPRUDENI Speech

The first Of the week saw this
community pretty badly wrought
up over remarks Governor Harding
is alleged to have made in a speech
at Sac City on the Fourth: 1t is
claimed that he said in referring.
to the Danes of Audubon and
Shelby counties, when they get
through they are full grown 100
per cent Dane" Also in another
partso his speech ANow think Of a
man who was brought from the
filth Of Denmark and placed on a
farm for which he paid perhaps
$500 an acre. Ye gods and fishes,
what Iowa has done for him he
never can repay!"
We are not in position to state
whether the Governor really made
these statements or not, but we are
IN position TO state Jnat as appled
to the communities mentioned they
are absolutely false. Iowa has no
more honorable, upright, progress
i've citizens than these Danes. A
fact that does not need demonstra-
ton to anyone who is acquainted
with conditions here. The Journal
does not feel it necessary to youch
for the full blooded simon pure
Americanism Of community,
which furnished more than its full
quota Of boys, went $50 percent
over the top on the Third Liberty
Loan, donated literally il the Y.
NJ. G. A. and Red Cross drives
and complied faithfully and cheer
fully with every order and request
of the administration.

.MR.FESSD|SCUSSES
ERA OF INITIATION
Comments on Treasury Sec
retary's Inability to Make
Salary Pay Expenses.

Taking as a text the reason as
signed by Secretary McAdoo of the
Treasury Department for his resig-
nation-that he could not live. in
these days of high prices. upon his
salary-Representat Fess of Ohio,
chairman of the republican congress
sional committee. last night issued a
statement declaring that tremendous
imitation has followed the policies of
the administration.
Mr.. Fess' Comment.
He said:
The war necessitated an expendi-
ture of money which is best worded
by riot of borrowing to spend. One
major thought has been how to spend
rather than how to pay.
The maximum of energy was util-
lied to borrow in order to spend. Now
1t must be to produce in order to pay
not only a debt so fabulous as to
stagger, but to provide continuous
annual expenditure of four billions.
The reasons assigned for the
resignation are simple but significant.
The high cost of living under the
present order is and will continue to
be problem. In the riot of expendi-
ture induced by war, the Treasury
Department has kept pace in the in
crease of the currency. Today there
is in circulation nearly three billion
dollars of federal reserve notes, issued
under the federal reserve act of 1912.
IF we include the national bank
notes and federal reserve bank notes
we will have $35 per capita circulation
held one billion of gold and two
billions of commercial paper
