In common with other Iowa papers,
The Democrat has occasionally called
attention to the thrift Of the Damn

to Iowa from Holland Just before the
war, and are now buying the 4o0-acre
farm that they have been working,
near Pella, paying $4,000 for it. In
letter to the Oskaloosa Herald, how

been here long enough to imbibe much
of the spirit of Americans. but they

must provide full right to withdraw
from the league at any time without
hindrance or conditions Of any kind
after giving suitable notice. It is up
to the administration to decide wheth-

be promptly accepted by the other ma

a point in price where it is Impossible
for the laboring man and the wage
Garner to eat it." says the Sioux City
Journal. During the war, meatless
days and the education of the public
to eating substitutes enabled the
people to get along without the once
or twice q day beef ration. But il
prices were within the means of these
people no education would be required
to turn them back to the consump-
ton Of beef"
The Burlington Gazette says IF we
were half as intelligent as We think
We are, our public schools would teach

But in any event, consumers have
been entitled to meats three or four

out that the reason why the blimp

probably that she had risen so high

Little tugged unavailmgly at the rip
