Deer Farmer Friend:

Do you know that the fruitess agitation to re-
duce the cost of living by cutting down the
prices of farm products below the cost of pro-
duction has already resulted in loss of over
one hundred million dollars to the farmers Of
Iowa without bringing any relieve to the con-
sumner? This vast sum has gone into the pockets
of profiteers, but it might have been saved ii
farmers had been organized to defend their
interests. The cost OF living would be high II :
farmers received nothing for their products
Careful investigation shows that not more than
nineteen cents of the wage earners dollar goes
to the farmer. Farmers are not profiteers they
act on the principle of live and let live"
AS business should stand united for national
policy toward agriculture which will assure, ~ the
returns for capital invested in agriculture for capital
vested in any other business; 2) the reward for
skilled farm management for managerial ability any
other occupation; 81 the wages for labor employed
agriculture honest workmen receive in any other in
dustry and ~ that the prices of farm products be
sufficient make these things possible.
On this platform of principles ask your cooperation
Let us get position defend attacks made on our

SIX MINUTES TO
 COVER THE WORLD

London, November 2o.-(Correspond- ence of the Associated Press.)-It re- quired only six minutes to inform the British empire that England was at war on the night of August 4, 1914, says Lord Harcourt, who was then CO., lonial secretary.
 "On that unforgettable night" he said to the Empire Parliamentary as- sociation, T was in the cabinet room, Downing street, with few colleagues Our eyes were on the clock, our thoughts on one subject only; but there was a feeble effort to direct our con- versation to other matters. We were waiting for reply, which we knew full well would never come, to our ulti- matum to Berlin.
 When Big Ben struck 11:30-mid- might in Berlin--we left the room know ing that the British empire was at war.
 'I crossed to the colonial office to send a war telegram to the world of the British empire. I asked the of- | ficial in charge of that duty how long 1 1t would take. He said about six min utes.'
 T asked him to return to my room ] when he had done his work. In seven
 minutes he was back and before morn-
 ing received an acknowledgement of
 my telegram from every single colonial iprotectorate, and even islet in the Pa icific.
 { ''So the grim machinery of war be-
 gan revolving in perfect order and with lperfect preparation because. more than
 two years previously, an individual war book had been prepared by the colonial
 committee of defense for every Single lprotectorate and island. It was at that
 moment locked in the safe of eacA governor or commissioner and they

WALLACE PLANNING
 CAME LAW CHANGES
No Opposition Has Yet De- veloped to Amendments
 Which He Contemplates
By WILLIAM l.. GORMLEY Speeiat to The Aue. Herald

Montgomery, January n.-(Special.) Drastic changes in laws of Alabama, claimed by John H. Wallace, IT,, state game and fish commissioner, to be neces- sary for the protection of fish, fowls and other game, will be asked of the Ala bama legislature soon after it convenes in Montgomery on January 14, next Tues day. There has developed no opposition to the proposed new laws and amend ments, and the commissioner anticipates having no trouble in getting them through before the legislature adjourns after 15 legislative days.
 The following are some of the recom- mendations suggested to the legislature:
 That all state lands, whether held in fee or in trust, be declared state game refugees and forest preserves.
 That the hunters license year shall expire on June 1.
 s'"That the commissioner be permitted to name deputy game and fish wardens, same to be approved by the governor
 That the open season on migratory birds and water fowl be changed so as to conform with the regulations pre- scribed under the federal migratory treaty act.
 /"That the open season on squirrels shall begin on October 1 instead of Au- gust 1.
 That a comprehensive system for the protection of the forests be provided" One Of the important suggestions of the commissioner, and one which is to meet with little opposition when the bills are presented, is that which makes it unlaw- full to pollute streams by placing oI throwing sawdust or other deleteriouS substances therein. The commissioner believes the state laws should regulate the size of mesh of all nets operated le. gally in the fresh waters of the state. Trappers in the state, in the opinion of MT. Wallace, should be required te pay a state license. Suggestion that there be a closed season on all fur-bear. ing animals is made.

mngham this season. It is a play based on the love affairs of a circus girl, and the life of the circus is' interwoven into every foot of film. The painted clowns, the th-defying acrobats, the 'beauti- full equestriennes the big collection of wild animals, the sideshow freaks and all that goes to make up a big circus have their part in the picture. One sees the unloading of the big show, the put ting up of the immense canvas city, the big show going on, and a thousand other interesting things that happen around a circus.
 Just connect all this up with a dandy good love story filled with tense situa- tions and dramatic climaxes. and you have a good idea of Under the Top.
 Of course, there will be dandy come dy, and a Pathe News reel shown in ad- dition, as usual.
