Seed Corn

The Henry Field Seed company
of Shenandoah is very much inter
ested in the seed corn situation in
Iowa and they have secured the
western country to get good seed
corn. They have limited supply
on hand which they are retailing
at $500 to $1,000 per bushel ac-
cording TO the test. All their corn
is guaranteed. Write them for a
seed circular which tells you
where the corn was grown and
what test it made. Good seed corn
is very essential just now as the
government does not want one
foot of ground to go to waste and
you do not want to plant and re-
plant and then get only half of a
stand.

Notice to the Public

On account of the greatly in
creased cost of labor, material,
and everything entering into the
operation and maintenance of the
electric lighting and power SER
vice, it is found that the plant in
Missouri Valley cannot be oper-
ated at present rates without sub
stantial loss to the company. De-
string to continue the efficient
;ervice in the city, it has been
found that an increase in rates
must be made. Commencing with
the billing May 1st., being bills
for April service, the lighting
rates will be as follows: First 10
llilowatt hours: each month, 45c
per kilowatt hour: for all current
over 40 kUowatt hours each
month, ~ 1-2 cent per kilowatt
hour. Iowa Gas and Electric Co.

efty 1sys Fire truck

At a meeting n the city council
last night, a contract was signed
with the Americans La France Fire
Engine Co. for one of their mod
IN IS H. p. Motor driven fire
trucks to be delivered as soon as
possible. This truck is the same
one as is used by all the best de-
partments in the country and it
comes fully equipped.
The motor is a four cylinder Of
IS horse power, capable of climb
ing any of our hills in second
speed and will climb the most Of
them on high gear. 1t carries 1900
feet of fire hose and in addition a
40 gallon chemical tank with 200
feet of chemical hose.
The best addition to our present
equipment, however. is the auxil-
larry pump which ii carries. In
case of fire on the hills where
the pressure is low, This pump
can be connected up at once, by
simply throwing it into gear, and
this will bring the pressure up to
equal the pressure at any hy-
drant down town. The pump has
capacity of 800 gallons per min
ute and will take water from hy
drants or from we'll. In this way
the truck can be used for fires on
the outside of the fire limits.
1t is also equipped With two
hand extinguishers, a l2N and 20
foot ladder, axes, crowbars, ETC.,
so that a fire of any kind can be
handled with this equipment. The
truck has a speed of more than
fifty miles an hour which means
a great deal to fire equipment.
Delivery is promised early in
lSeptember, or as quickly as the
machine can be made.
Tho council has investigated a
number of different kinds of mot
or driven apparatus and has writ
ten to number of fire chiefs in
the cities and all We're loud in
their praise of the American-La
France equipment. There may be
others Just as good but everyone
who has investigated will say that
| there is none better.

Iowa housewives will be able to
kget all the sugar they actually
eneed for canning and preserving
purposes. They will he asked to
sign a certificate as to the amount
they require and will solemnly
pledge themselves to return what
ever part OF the supply they do not
use for canning. Food Administra-
tor Deems has been authorized by
the Federal food administration at
Washington to issue blank certi-
ficates to retail grocers who will
require the signatures of pur-
chasers. The administration will
maintain the present limit on SUI
gar purchases for general purpo-
Eses; five pounds for consumers in
the cities and ten pounds for con-
sumers in the country but the Ger
tlflcates will enable those desir-
ing additional sugar for canning
and preserving TO secure it upon
agreement that they will return,
such parts of purchases so made
as are not used for the purposes
for which they bought lit. Wash
|lngton has advised administrator
Deems that we must have strict
economy and if necessary even a
slight shortage now rather than
have any shorts what so ever
when the canning season is at
hand. Retail dealers therefore are
instructed to maintain the pre-
scribed limits OF sales of sugar 10
the five and ten pound limits ex-
cept when the certificates are
signed for the use of sugar for
canning exclusively.

A Bad Dream With
 a Good Ending

Richard Ahlman, you remember the little German grocer, down on the corner, was determined he would buy no Liberty Bonds True, he had plenty of money, and he had made 1t all in America.
 His neighbors. even the German ones. had al bought bonds, of some size. but he had said that he didn't feel like he ought to buy bonds, be- Ing as he haL folks in Germany.
 His wife nagged at him to buy bonds, his neighbors nagged at him. and in fact. everyone spoke to him about them.
 Now this afternoon his banker, his best friend, Heinie Bockenstein, Bill Schirmer, and others had called on him, ard asked him a lot of questions, ending by telling him: Now Mir. Ahlman, if you do not want this yell low card to go to the government, you had better buy some bonds"
 That evening, he sat in his store just before closing time, and was thinking what he had better do H.. insists that he was not asleep, at all, but If he was not, he must have had vision.
 The door swung open. slowly, and & tall form. dressed in red, white and blue striped clothes, slipped through the door, and softly closed 1t again
 Approaching the old man. this form said very softly: Robert Altman, do you approve of the terrible treatment of the Germans toward the Belgians?"
 No. l don't, but maybe they didn't do 1t"
 They did everything that was told of them and some things that weren't" The man in the peculiar suit did not get mad, like his friends and neighbors. but he seemed to know what he was telling.
 "Who are you?" asked Robert Ahl- man.
 'I am Uncle Sam. And have come to tell you, that if you do not believe in such doings as the German army has done, you had better buy some bonds. That's the way to put a stop to it."
 With these words, the tall figure slipped out, anC Again the little grocer was left alone.
 Rising he went about closing up, with mighty fear in his heart what Uncle Sam might do to him, if he did not buy bonds At last the biz key turned Il the door, and then he went down to the home of his banker, and timidly knocked on the door.
 As the door opened, he said: Were is Mir. Vite?"
 He is here, dc you want 10 see him?" asked his daughter
 Yes, righe away
 WheL MT. White came to the door, the old man was almost shaking, and said: "Mr. Nite. 1 take tousand dollars from bonds, ven Uncle Sam comes and gifs orders, den I gifts busy"
 The banker drew him into the hall and drew his story from him. Then he reassured him, and sent him on home.
 Then MT. White called up his col leagues of the committee, and told them of Richard Ahlman's dream and its wonderful effect.
 Well. said Heinie Bockenstein q wish Uncle Sam call on udder ones, and make dem see the light" It will never be possible to cen vince Richard Altman that his meet. ing with Uncle Sam vas a dream He believes it was actual fact, and says if there Is another bond sale, he shall buy first thing

The American Jewish world., 1918-11-29
THE AMERICAN JEWISH WORLD

some landlords resulted in drastic
legislation by Congress which tied
the hands of landlords and real
estate owners. Capt. Peyser was in
strumental in framing that legisla
ton and later was in charge of en-
forcing it. That office called for the
highest integrity and fearlessness.
For banker and lawyer, as Capt.
Peyser is, to oppose the landlord and
real estate interests which with
banking interests, are the backbone
of the city's industrial life, is very
much the same as if a big newspa-
per were to antagonize it's best ad-
vertisers. But that did not deter
Capt. Peyser. So unfalteringly and
rigidly did he enforce the law that
he incurred the enmity of the en-
tire real estate fraternity. It will
surprise no one if Capt. Peyser will
find it expedient to leave the city
after his work for the government
is concluded.
This is but brief and incomplete
reference to some of the more distin-
guished Jews who sacrificed all of
their personal interests that the ma
tons glory may be sustained. When
the full chapter of Jewish contribu-
ton and sacrifices to the winning of
the war shall be written, it will not
only vindicate us and silence our de-
tractors as we'll but form an episode
in our national life of which our
posterity will justly be proud.
