Des Moines, April 26-The third lib
erty loan campaign. having been com
pleted in Iowa, 1t was planned to open
a War Savings Stamp Campaign next
Monday, April 20, and plans were COM
pleted for an intensive drive to last one
week. This plan had the approval of
C.. II. McNider, director of the liberty
loan campaign in Iowa, who issued a
published statement in the interest of
the war savings stamp drive. Harri-
son B. Riley, federal director for the
Seventh district also approved of the
plan.
II now develops that several states,
Including Illinois and South Dakota,
have planned war savings stamp drives
for the same week, altho their liberty
bond campaigns have not been COM
pleted. A war savings drive was bound
to interfere with liberty bond cam
paigns in such states, and altho Iowa
has gone over the top, Secretary Nc
Adoo, in fairness to such other states,
has issued statement asking that all
war savings stamp drives be deferred
until after the liberty bond campaigns
in all states are ended.
I'm Difference to Secretary McAdoo
and the treasury department, 1 feel
constrained to meet this request and
defer the war savings stamp drive until
May 4, when it will be acceptable to

and secure enough pledges for future

Ames, April 26.-Belgium is looking
very largely to Iowa to help it get

The Belgian visitors were particu

Y Hopeful For Future.
In their discussion of Belgian agri-
culture, Messrs. Vanderheyden and
Holmans were strikingly hopeful for
the future. Altho their lands have
been wrested from them by the in
vading hordes, save for few square
miles in Flanders; altho their herds
have been confscated or destroyed:
altho their soil has been ruined in
great areas; altho their man power
has been enormously depleted. they
