Governor Tells People
They Must Buy and
Store Coal at Once

State Of Iowa, executive department
"a proclamation-To the people OF
Iowa: The coal situation In Iowa is
serious and commands the attention
Of all our people at this time. The
demands Of tho state from March to
March approximate fourteen million
tons of coal. Last year. the iowa
mines. running almost full time and
fully manned. produced only nine mill
lion tons.
The federal government has insti-
tnted the coming system, so that We
Will bc dependent largely upon coal
from Iowa mines. Not to exceed :oar
million tons can be shipped in from
the outside. There are approximately
fifteen thousand miners in the state
Nearly ten per cent of these
skilled men have left the state
due TO the facrthat since March
the mines of Iowa have been idle a
great portion OF the time.
This idleness is largely due to the
fact that our people arc not burins
and storing Iowa coal. The idle time
air, adv gone and the loss OF miners
means that we arc facing coal fam
inc for next winter that is vital to the
peace. happiness and prosperity of the
people of the state, If We IRE short
of coal next winter, ii means shorter
hours in schools, If not their closing
shorter business hours. factories run
ming on short time or closed, great
inconvenience and discomfort in many
homes.
To keep up the morale and the pro-
ductive efficiency of our people. 1t is
tho plain, patriotic duty of every citi-
zen so far as he can, to place ms
order for Iowa coal now for immediate
delivery.
Now, therefore, by virtue Of author
ity In me vested, /, w. l.. Harding,
governor OF the state of Iowa. call
upon every user of coal in the state
to buy and store Iowa coal without
further delay.
In testimony whereof. I have hero
unto set my hand ard caused to ne
affixed the great seal OF tho state.
Done at Des Moines, this eth day OF
April, 1915.

German, Propaganda
Results In Burial of
Money In Michigan

Detroit. Mich. April 2o.-Statc, coun-
ty and government officials arc seem
ingly agreed that the soil of Michigan
is today hiding more money. coin and
currency than it has held for several
years.
German propag anda is the reason
Despite the efforts of the government
agents and Of newspapers to assure
persons of Teutonic extraction that
their property will not be seized there
has been noticeable shrinkage in the
savings deposits of some Of these peo-
pie in various sections of Michigan.
The mistaken fear it is believed, has
proved contagious in one or two dis
tricts which have a heavy foreign pop
ulation. Hard earned savings which
usually We're hidden at home in the
days before the government postal saw
ings system was instituted, have been
going back to the soil.
Government agents have been enlist
ing the assistance of patriotic citizens
to combat this German propaganda.
For several months, however. signs
of boarding have increased, particu-
larly since the government began to
take over the property of certain Ger
man corporations in the east.
One incident reported from Ypsi-
lanti, in Washtenaw county, near De-
troit illustrates the situation. A far
mer and his two sons drew their entire
savings, about $1,000. from an Ypsilanti
bank. The father buried the money
and then forgot the hiding place. After
several days he located the wealth and
returned with it to Ypsilanti, where he
told the bank cashier Of his act.
"rhad tip that the government was
going to confiscate the savings Of all
German Americans" the farmer said.
When he was told that such runiors
were the work of spies and that many
patriotic persons Of German lineage
had large sums of money on deposit
the farmer put the money back in the
bank.
Then he went home and slept sound
ly for the first time in a week.

MAY CURB MILLERs.
Wilson Urged to Fix Maximum Price
For MilIers.

"liSOn OTSeO TO Tx NdNiInuU1 IIISS
For MiIIers.
Washington, April 20-Government
regulation Of wheat and flour prices
has reduced the cost of -four to the
consumer several dollars a barrel"
but there is room for still further re-
duction by more scientific limitation
of millers' profits, according to re-
port made by the federal trade COM
mission to the president today. Maxi
mum millers' prices instead of maxi
mum profit are proposed.
The commission finds that the, net
profits of the milers increased from II
barrel in 1916-17.s The maximum profit
is now fixed at 25 cents a barrel by
the government and the commission
found that many millers deemed it
justifiable to take the maximum profit
allowed because of the less than nor
NAL volume Of output"
In summary Of the report the COM
mission says:
1.-THE present regulation Of our mill
ers' profits at a fixed margin above
cost has the inherent weakness OF not
encouraging efficiency in production
and of affording unpa triotc milers
temptation to dishonesty in cost ac-
counting. difficult to detect or prevent
while the actual profit which mill
ers will make during the. present crop
year can not be finally determined I'M
til the end of the period 1T appears
from the information in the hands Of
the federal trade commission that the
regulations have reduced the profits Of
most mills below those made during
the year of 1916-17. This. with the
larger reductions secured by fixing the
price of wheat-a part Of the regula-
tory plan-has reduced the price Of
flour to the consumer several dollars
a barrel Wheat and milling regula-
lions have kept -four prices fairly
stable in spite of an increasing short
age, due to heavy shipments abroad"
The report states that it is the opin-
ion of the federal trade commission
that maximum prices Of flour might
be established, which would cover the
cost Of wheat and all manufacturing
selling, and general expenses. and in
addition would give the miller a, rea-
sonable profit. The Standardization Of
flour by the food administration rem
ders the plan Of fixing flour prices
much easier OF accomplishment than
heretofore. Maximum prices would
make it profitable to the millers to
operate more efficiently and keep costs
down. {.
On profits an dcosts OF production
the report says:
1.-THE average cost Of production Of
a barrel OF hour 70 rmills covered by
the investigation increased in the crop
year 1861 over the preceding year,
duo mainly to the increased cost OF
wheat. while operating profits per bar
rel as shown by their records increased
nearly IS per cent and their rate Of
profit on investment increased more
than 100 per cent"
