DISLOYALTY CASES SCARCER.
L. $. Marshal Moore Finds That
Decrease Is One-Third

Waterloo, Ia, May 20.-Cases
of disloyalty are rapidly disappear
ing in Iowa, according to United
States Marshal E. r. Moore who is
here to attend the federal court.
Il can see great change in the
state" Mr.. Moore said today. six
months ago it was common oc-
currence for me to handle 25to 35
disloyalty cases each week. Since
last March / have not been called
upon to investigate one-third that
number People seem to be getting
right and coming to their senses
Those who are really disloyal at
heart have learned it is the best
policy to keep their mouths closed" y
Mr.. Moore said the passage of
the new law regarding the punish
ment. of convicted disloyals will do
mush towards tightening the work
of his office.

The wheat may be grown from

The new wheat is said to be of

ducing a white -four. The produc-

COAL WEEK TO Be

June 3 to 8 Set as Dates For
General Purchasing Drive
IDEA TO STIMULATE
BUYING OF WINTER SUPPLY
Dealers Urged to Be Ready to Take
Care of All Orders-Plan Being
Considered to List All "COal

Des Moines, May 20.-National
coal week June to June will
be observed. A special order of the
United States fuel administration
has been received by State Fuel
Administrators Webster, of a special
drive to be made that week to slim
ulate early ordering of coal. Back
ing the special week will be a big
public city campaign conducted by
the state and federal fuel depart
ments and special effort will be
made to keep Iowa from being plac-
ed in the Goal Stacker" class.
Under Representative Cushing
the coal operators have been en-
listed, the dealers are being urged
to be ready to take care of all
orders they can receive and big
effort will be made to arouse the
customer to the seriousness Of the
situation in Iowa and urge him to

week.
The plans for the state are being
worked out in detail now and it is
expected that some method will be
employed so that every coal con-
sumer who fails to take advantage
of coal week will be known to the
local fuel committee and unless he
can show a valid reason for not
storing coal now for next winter,
his demands for coal will be shut
off. 1t is proposed that the "coal
Stacker" shall be known to the
authorities and the man who takes
of the present drive for
storage of coal, will have his wants
provided for because of his fore
in securing coal when
he could.
Word has also been received that
the railroad administration will c.
operate with the fuel administra-
ton and that Immediately after all
orders have been flied thru deal
ers to the consumers, transportation
will be speeded up to its capacity.

SPAULDING FOR SENATOR.
political Adv

H. l.. Spaulding, of Elma, as a
Republican candidate for Senator
at the June Primary, is worthy of
the confidence and support of his
party for in the several positions
of trust which he has been called
upon to fill in this community he
has always shown ability and fl
deity. In his thirty years exper-
fence at the bar, while giving faith
full and able service to his clients,
he has ever aimed to discourage un-
necessary litigation and to pro-
mote settlements. And in his prac-
tice he has never represented rail-
road companies.
His experience of two sessions of
the legislature in the house to wit;
in the 80 and 81 G. A. in which he
rendered efficient service, has better
enabled him to serve the district
and the state in the upper legis-
lative body.
Special mention should be made
of his authorship of the law under
which the most common and trou-
blesom defects in the titles to real
esteate were wiped out, thereby
greatly facilitating the transfer of
real estate in the period of activity
which has since prevailed, and saw
ing the owners large amounts which
would otherwise be necessary for
quieting titles. He is an extern
sive owner of Howard County land
and interested in farming and stock
and is in close touch with
such interests and knows how to
obtain for them effective legislat-
i've recognition.-Elma New Era.

THE GARDEN SPIRIT.
Business Men and Housewives and
Merchants all Spading.

The back yards of DEBORAH once
deserted, are the center of intense
activity now. Business men and
housewives and mechanics are spa
ding. Neighbors who previously
scarcely ever spoke to each other,
exchange advice across the fence.
The instructions are conflicting.
But the power of good seed to come
up and bear fruit under unfavor-
up and bear fruit under unfavor-
able conditions is often surprising.
The automobile that used to go
on a pleasure excursion now comes
back loaded with garden tools or
bean poles. Hardware and other
stores are besieged by seekers after
seeds and implements.
Some who never. handled hoe
before last year now talk with great
confidence as to the correct scien-
tific method, while others who
really know more listen open
mouthed
Chronic GROWERS complain at
being dragged into new and
laborious pursuit. But soon they
slip out to the patch the first thing
in the morning to see what new
little stranger has lifted his ventur-
some head above the dirt. And the
last moment of daylight shows them
still trying to distinguish plants
from weeds.
Man up to few generations ago
was an outdoors animal. When
modern industrialism developed, we
ignored the living conditions to
which our bodies were adapted,
and worked in congested buildings
with little fresh air. The race has
suffered enfeeblement
Now this garden spirit helps re-
produce the conditions under which
man formerly lived and thrived
more vigorously. There is
strength giving quality in the soil
that communicates itself to human
mind and body.

Colored Man Strong on Substitutes.

Man Strong on substitutes.
The evil effects of eating too
much of the substitutes for wheat
flour are shown in the case of a
colored man living in >Marshalltown
says the Times Republican.
DR.. H. A. Kinnan tells the story
which came to him from one of the
Lennox Furnace Company men who,
as a solicitor in the war savings
stamp campaign, visited a colored
family in his district.
The woman of the house, in an
swer to the query about the pur-
chase of war savings stamps, re-
piled:
"Yas sar, vas sar, we are dom
what we can. We have bought all
the stamps we can affod. And we
are helpin' in other ways too. We
don't eat no flour no mo. Why you
know, mistah, my ole man has done
eat so much oats and corn now
that he's brayin' like a mule
The solicitor thought this was
patriotism with an upper case
"P" and reported the family as
doing all it could.
Some one has suggested tho
the family should be reported las
patriotic as war horse"

John Doherty walked into the
Lands undertaking establishment,
1886 Nicollet avenue, Minneapolis,
Thursday night and asked if he
could use the undertaker's chapel

could, he disappeared and returned

1.-THE Episcopal ring service was
used and it was a real wedding in
every way" said Mr.. Oakley, des-
cribing the wedding. .'Of course
we didn't have any music and
flowers were omitted.
After the first shock of receiv-
ing a request for the use of an un-
dertaker's parlor for a wedding was
over, we had to hurry to complete
the plans"
