Notion to Borrow a Cow.

We have a notion to borrow a COW!
Producers will demand more money
for their milk than ever next winter
because feed is so high. But milk at
present prices is still as cheap as any
food we buy. A large part OF the
cost of producing milk is the labor OF
caring for the COW. Keeping COW
in these times is akin to caring for a
war garden, and it will help to beat
the h. c. of |. Taking good care or
good COW is as profitable in town dur
ing the winter season as raising
chickens or pigs, If not more so. II

sUGARLEss DAYS FOR IOWA.
People of State Have to Do Without
Sweetening for Some Time.

Des Moines, Ia.-Iowa people may
have to do withou. sugar entirely
for a few weeks or possibly month
before the first of the year.
This astonishing piece of news
was given out by Food Administrators
M. H. Cohen yesterday after check
ing up on the stocks used in Septem-
Der. Iowa is nearly two and half
million pounds of sugar over the
states allotment now and this short
age must be made up before the first
of the year.
The states allotment for the
month of September was 100000
pounds, but due to the heavy canning
100000 pounds were used. The al
lotment of two pounds per capita will
be kept up long as possible, but
only by the strictest conservation
can the deficiency be made up.
In order to more thoroughly i'm
press upon the minds of retail groc-
ers the seriousness of the situation.
missionaries were sent out yester-
day to every retailer in the state
asking them to keep strict check on
every pound of sugar sold for cam
ming. Only fifteen pounds at a time
will be allowed to person now for
canning, and while the sugar divi-
sion will attempt to care for all cam
ming orders during October, it is
only by strictest economy that the
householder will be assured the sup
ply of two pounds per capita for the
remainder of the year.
Iowa people do not realize how
serious the sugar situation is" said
Mr.. Cohen. with nearly two and a
half million pounds to make up on
our regular allowance in the next
three months, it behooves every one
of us to use just as little sugar as
we possibly can and even go without
few days a week to be assured
our present per capita, amount.
"The department is anxious to
take care of all canning orders, and
while October perhaps will be light
er in this respect than September,
there are late peaches and many
things to be canned this month that
require much sugar, so everyone
must just buckle down to the fact
that they have got to go slow on
sugar or go without toward the end
of the year"

eoc for Butter at Sioux City.

Sioux City grocers were charging
50 cents pound for butter last Sat-
urday. Their customers were refus-
ing to buy butter and were ordering
substitutes in such quantities that
the grocers decided to cut the price
of butter, and as consequence Sioux
City people have been buying first
grade creamery butter this week at
SO cents. The question is, were
those grocers making ten-cent or
more prifit on their butter, or are
they taking a loss at the lower price ?

Five Filthy Fingers.

Did you4evey make a. diary of your
fingers? Did you ever set down in
cold black and white the things your
fingers touch every day and did you
ever consider the number of times
daily that your unwashed fingers
seek your mouth?
When surgeons discovered that it
was their own infected fingers which
carried germs into wounds they set
about trying to discover means
whereby their hands could be rem
dered surgically clear, l. e., free from
germs. The whole realm of chemist
ry was transacted for agents which
would disinfect hands, and the scrub
bings and dimensions to which they
subjected their hands are even yet
a tender memory to the surgeons of
that period. But all these efforts
proved useless and at last in despair
surgeons took to wearing rubber
gloves which could be boiled, thus
bringing to each patient, as it were,
a fresh pair of sterile hands. In
other words, try as you will you can
not by any known method make your
hands absolutely clean.
The great agent in the spread of
those diseases whose casuative organ
ism is present in the secretions OF
the mouth and nose, is the human
hand. and If saliva was bright green
we would be amazed at the color OF
our fingers. AS a matter of fact
most of us carry our fingers to our
mouth or nose many times daily,
there to implant the germs of disease
which other carless people have
spread about, there to collect a fresh
cargo of infectious material to scat
ter for somebody else.
1t is true that most germs of dis
ease die quickly once they leave the
human body but what does the death
of a few billion germs matter so
long as the supply is copious and
never ending.
What an enormous lot of infected
things we touch during the day and
how infrequent and cursory are the
hand washings We perform.
The answer is to keep your fingers
out of your mouth and nose. thus
we limit the spread of disease from
these orifices at least. thus we elimi-
nate the danger of contracting dis
ease from someone else who was not
quite so careful.-LPublic Health.

SIT PRICE FOR HUskING.
Men Demanding More or Paying
More VIII be fined.

Sioux City, lathe price to be
charged and paid for corn husking
is a matter that has caused great
deal of concern in this part of the
country recently. Laborers have de-
manded as high as II cents in some
instances.
The result has been that county
councils of defense have met and
fixed prices which range from to
10 cents. In Dakota county, Neb.,
the council fixed the price at and
10 cents, eight where the husker is
boarded and 10 where the husktr
provides for himself. The council
at the same provided fine of 500
for any one demanding or paying
more, the fine to go to the Red Gross
in the precinct where the offense is
committed.

Shun the HOMESTEAD!

Mt Vernon Record: From this
time forward, the Record shall re-
fuse to receive any subscriptions to
the Iowa HOMESTEAD, either in club
or at full subscription price. This
action is taken for the reason that
the publisher of the Homestead,
James M. Pierce, was expelled from
the Iowa Council of Defense, last
week, because of articles published
in his paper calculated to aid the en-
envy
Furthermore, it is our opinion that
no bank, lumber yard, or other bust
ness house in the state should give
the Homestead away to its potrons
in the future, as is being done now,
and has been done for years past. No
institution can afford to help circu-
late the class of matter the Home
stead has specialized in for some
time, which if not merely pro-Ger-
man, is SO nearly so as to have the
same effect.

Are in Need Of Corn Huskers.

Rockwell City, lathe Calhoun
county labor board recently sent ont
a QUESTIONABLE to each farmer in
the county to determine how many
men would be needed in the next
sixty days to husk the big corn crop.
The result of this census shows
that the farmers want over 400
men. Many farmers have already
begun husking and report the corn
in good condition and yielding from
forty to sixty bushels an acre. The
county agent has been able to get
some men from southern Iowa and
Nebraska, but still has ten jobs for
every man.

THE HARVEST SEASON.
Many Peoples in the Old World
Would Celebrate When the Crops
Were All In.

An ancient custom makes harvest
"a festival occasion. Many peoples of
the Old World used to have cele-
brations when the crops were safely
garnered. They made offerings to
heather gods, and had music, dane
ing and games.
In these matter of fact days we
have not so much imagination. About
the only harvest festival left is the
county cattle show. In theory at
least this is an economic and COM
munity enterprise, rather than an ex-
preston of popular joy.
To look at our phlegmatic faced
farmers, you would not know they
ever celebrated anything. Many Of
them acquired a certain pessimistic
turn of mind. Their barns may be
bursting, but if the crops fail of their
full Irritation, thpy can not Danish
the feeling Of regret for what might
have been.
Yet the storing away in the gran
aries of a reasonably good crop is a
great triumph over all kinds of diff
ficulties. The man who does it has
good cause for elation, and the COM
munity for feeling the festival spirit.
The husbandman has fixed his at
tention for many years on plant and
seed growth. He has acquired after
long effort a wealth of detail know.

beginnings, acquire capital for

A! Now after all this seasons work
approaches completion. There used

Feeds Wheat and Barley to Hogs.

Sioux City, Ia.,-Acting on a sug-
gestion from his neighbors, federal
authorities yesterday went out TO the
home of Woodbury. county farmer
where they discovered that he has
been feeding wheat, mixed Win
barley, to his hogs. His explanation
was that it is more profitable to
feed wheat and barley than corn.
He was warned that to continue the
offense will bring heavy penalty.
His name was not given out by the
authorities.
The authorities are also inyesti-
eating reports that many persons
have fed -four substitutes to chickens
and hogs and have thus been able TO
use all wheat flour in their bread.
1t Is said prosecutions will follow II
these reports are found to be true.

vice. This temporarily curtails the
wheat movement from the sea-board
and has filed our sea-board and
terminal elevators thus checking
the movement of grain.
1t is reported that some producers
have become panicky and are selling
wheat at less than the government
price. There is no occasion for this.
If the holders of the grain will have
little patience, the wheat will all
be moved at the full price to which
every grower is entitled upon the
grade of his wheat will be secured by
every grower"
