RAISING MONEY IN 1864.

The sanitary commission of those

series of fairs were Instituted all over
the United States. Iowa had three
fairly successful ones In 1854

However the fair between gifts and
raffles and contributions had $4,000 to
send to the sanitary commission. And
that equaled the results of the Chicago
fair.
Now we go out in Iowa for millions
for the Red Cross--and get the money.
We take out allotment Of 100000 for

THE BEST THING TO DO.

1t would be much better 10 have the
senate complete a full investigation Of
conditions IN the airplane and ordance
departments in a patriotic and nom
partisan manner and give the facts
fully TO the public than 10 have the
feeling broadcast that just behind the
veil Of censorship and secrecy are
dangerous inefficiencies, possible con-
sptracies and God alone knows what
going on. AS matters stand nobody
knows anything certainly, suspicion
assails without proof and partisanship
defends without knowledge.
1t is idle to say that the facts given
publicity would be of aid to the enemy
Without any doubt the enemy knows
what our output OF airplanes and ma
chine guns is.
Il Is idle TO assume that the facts
would tnjure the morale Of the country.
On the contrary the actual facts would
strengthen our purpose whatever the
facts may be. We know We can do all
we have set out to do and know that
sooner or later delay or no delay we
shall go thru with our announced pur-
pose in this war. That We have de-
cided on with inality and it Is to be
done. If conditions are bad we shall
when ye know the facts begin immedi-
ately 10 amend them. II accuse tons are
untrue or brought with Interior purpose
then we shall know what TO DO with the
accusers and where TO place our con-
fdence.
The best thing this nation and every
community IN the nation can do 20 the
furthering Of this war and the con-
summation Of our announced and de-
termined purposes in the war Is 70 take
all the people into complete con-
fdence, tell the truth, give the actual
facts and thus combine all America into
one great moving force, moving with
understanding to a common purpose.

In the improper dragging of our pub
lie dirt roads?

In the improper dragging Of our pub
lie dirt roads?
Road dragging Is worth money ex-
pended II 1t Is done properly. II i'm
properly done the money is practically
wasted. The most important feature
of dragging is that it should be done
at the right time. Time is the essence.
Put some weight on the drag and put
1t on the road at the proper time and
you get splendid results On the other
hand put q light drag on the road at
the wrong time and the benefits are
negligible.
The time to drag road is when the
ground is soft so that the blade cuts in
enough to trim down the rough places
and fills up the ruts and low spots.
This makes the drag pull harder and
involves more work but 1t produces
results.
A large amount Of the dragging Is
done after the road has become too
dry. Then the blade will not, cut in;
it does not get down to the nuts and
fill them. Such dragging Is simply
wasting money: the road after such
a dragging is not appreciably better
than before the drag went over it.
There is no more justification for the
waste of public money in dragging
that gets no results than there would
be in constructing culverts out Of inch
boards, requiring replacement every
few weeks.

Senator cummins, Appeal.

Nothing could be more reasonable
than Senator Cummins' protest against
the presidents persistent attitude of
hostility to men in congress who are
doing the best they can to support the
war. Mr.. Cummins goes further than
some of his colleagues would go in
placing wreaths of honor on the presi-
dents brow for his "consummate abil-
ity" in many directions. There is not
a word of captious or facetious opposi-
ton in what he says. But he puts his
finger on the central fault of the presi-
dental management, which is the
demonstration of a want Of ability or
disposition in co-ordinating 1.-The in
dustries. the resources and strength Of
the people of this country for war.
1t is a question not of ability, but of
willingness to employ a guiding hand
instead of a hand that assumes to do
all itself and to turn aside all other
experienced hands. The mischief and
danger of the presidential position is
this want of disposition to take ad-
vantage of the best ability that is all
about, and the presence instead OF a
disposition to refuse cooperation, to
question motives. to repel assistance.
Senator Cummins spoke for the most
part of the disparagement of members
of congress, of the impugnment of their
motives and the obstruction of their
endeavors. But the disposition of
which he complains, as all know, is not
confined to the presidential relations
with congress. 1t has been exercised
in all directions. The president has
narrowed his field far too much He
has assumed all wisdom as the posses
sion of q far too limited coterie of per-
sonal supporters. The time has come
for a broader view. The clarion has
been sounded for a keen struggle all
together. Let us have an end of fac
tionalism, and a welcome of every eff
fort, use of every hand, and brain.
Senator Cummins' speech is timely
appeal which should penetrate the
White House and be sincerely needed
there.-Boston Transcript

THE PRO AND CON AS TO BUTTER.

Professor Mortensen, head of the
Ames dairying department is warning
on butter substitutes despite the
scarcity and high price of butter. He
asserts first that there is no real sub
stitute for butter as builder of
human strength and health and says
that children deprived of butter fats
get eye trouble, etc. Then he comes to
the meat in his cocoanut by arguing
that use of butter substitutes is blow
at the dairy interests.
The professor should have put his
second statement first. 1t appears to
have his proper text in it.
From a scientific standpoint which
is preferable-to deprive children of
the necessary fats in butter substi-
tutes entirely or to furnish other fats
thru the cheaper substitutes that the
ordinary city mans income can afford
Butter is out of reach of many families
who live on the average wage. There
is a great scarcity of butter as none
should know better than the professor
himself From the commercial inter-
ests of the dairymen of course the
professor is right. Use of butter sub
stitutes does have tendency to
regulate the price of butter and Of
course similar effect upon the
creamery dividends But the national
wheat in that public necessity de-
mands a compromise on the price
midway between the interests of 50
per cent Of our people who live in our
towns and the interests Of the IS per
cent who live on the farms. Butter $
not selling relatively as nigh when
compared to the price OF COW feed as
it was before the war but it is selling
too high for many families in town
who are reduced by necessity 10 DO
without butter. If they can use a sub
stitute they get a vegetable oil and an
dl!IiIdi liI Win IlcISSCIIlt AOot
properties which they could not OBJ
tain al all in butter while war prices
prevail
The professor is merely taking care
of the dairy industry when he tries 20
scare mothers who feed butter substi-
tutes. Men within theTmes- RepuoN
can office have not used a pound Of
butter in half year and there are no
sore eyes in their families as yet.
There is also a man on the force who
has invested money in the dairy in
dustry so there is fair balance Of ex
able for the editor close at hand.
The professors own statement
that 80 100000 pounds Of butter sub
stitutes were manufactured in this
country in March as compared 10 80.
900 600 pounds OF butter which should
have affected half the population with
sore eyes by this time were there any
thing but a partisan's plea in his alarm
The soldiers in our armies are going
without butter and seem TO be able to
shoot straight when the occasion de-
mands. Some Of the brawniest peoples
on earth like the Scotch get very little
butter in their dict. Butter is a superior
food especially for children because It
Is a milk or tactical product but the
other is also food. 1t is made from flesh
fats and vegetable oils both Of which

POTATO PRICES IN IOWA.

Some of the Chicago grocers have
been caught retailing potatoes for 50
and accents peck That is too much
to stand even in Chicago. In Iowa
good seed potatoes have been sold as
low as fifty cents bushel-the writer
saw a quantity of them sold for that
price this week and they were the best
kinds of potatoes and the best of the
kind. In that connection one man
made the statement that he was go
ing to use his surplus for feeding. first
cooking them. Potatoes are entering
largely into poultry food at the pres
ent time. And there will be plenty OF
potatoes left in the country after the
new ones come into the markets.

from the wiles of the 'canny' urban

led to wholesale murder, pllage and
rapine.'
IF it's necessary dash the liberty
motor and make any kind of a motor

that has been actually doing the
work" says the Cedar Rapids Republi-
can. The Italians and the French and
the English all have motors that have
stood the test and we can make them
here-and we could have turned out
thousands Of them while those eleven
wise men were shut up to design some
thing exclusively American"
