A FARMER is KNOWN BY THE
NUMBER OF COWS HE KEEPS

This paper has frequently in the
past called attention to the fact that
the keeping of a dairy COW or two by
every man on the land adds to the
income the year round, besides max
ing it unnecessary to go to the store
for the family butter supply, and to
the milk wagon every time a little
milk and cream is wanted by the
housewife. The milk COW has raised
the mortgage on many farm. The
time is coming when the man on the
land who does not keep a COW will be
looked on much as is the man who
would attempt to pillow his land with
a crooked stick. In Iowa the banks
have rule when farmer applies for
a loan, the first question is, "Do you
keep cows" If the answer is in the
negative he must give gilt edge Sc
ourity. The Iowa banker reasons this
way: "If man on farm does not
know enough to keep a COW there are
nine chances to one that he does not
know enough about farming to make
a success and repay the loan" The
old proverb runs this way, "You know
a man by the company he keeps"
which the observing Iowa banker
turns to practical use by saying you
can know a farmer by the number of
cows he keeps.

When we remember how the presi-
dent raised our hopes about his league
of nations scheme, how war would be
abolished, and what he said about
"Pitiless publicity" at the peace con-
ference, we also remember about the
high school graduate who had pre-
pared a great grafton for the closing
exercises, and when his little sister
asked him what he was going to say,
he replied, "Only God and myself
know what | am going to say. When
he faced the audience it was different
and after laundering around trying
to get his wits together he STAN
mered, when / came here l knew
what wanted to say, but now only
God knows what it was"

JUST A PASSING OBSERVATION

We notice so many young men now
days who seem to have no definite
object in life. They seem to be drift
ing along on the stream of life with
no landing port in view, do not seem
to know what they want to do or
whether they want to do anything.
They work at something this week and
next week they lie around and rest.
Like wilkins Micawber they seem to
be waiting for something TO turn up,
for somebody to thrust golden spoon
into their mouths. 1t was the fashion
when the writer of these lines was
young, fifty or sixty years ago, for
every young man to have some aim in
life, some worthy end to strive for.
Truly, times have changed

CATECIISM OF HATE
BY GERMANS in MEXICO

Mexico City. July S.-4(Correspond.
ence of The Associated Press)-A
"Catechism of Hate" was printed in
the Deutsche Zeitung Won Mexico
and revenge was threatened in an arti-
Gle accompanying it on the day when
the delegates of the German republic
signed the peace treaty at Versailles.
The paper printed in German in gener.
ally believed to voice the opinions of
the Pan-German, irrecOncslable ele-
ment Of the German colony in Mexico.
TRANSACTIONS in part of the article fol
low:
THE day of revenge of the German
people is not far off. We shall do good
to practice patience until the day of
revenge has arrived. Revenge must be
coIdly consumated. In order to prepare
ourselves quietly for it, we need a
'Catechism of Hatred"
The twelve commandments" of the
catechism summarize in brief form
many of the protests which have been
heard from German sources since the
terms of the Peace Treaty became
known. They deny that Germany want
ed war, assert that Germany was right
in invading Belgium, attack England
for the Blockade of Germany. ever that
Germany's armies were never de-
feated and declae that German honor
is insulted by making Germans sign
admission of their guilt.
In conclusion, the article says
These twelve commandment will suf-
flee to prepare us mentally for The
Day on which the hour of revenge
will strike"
Asked if the sentiments expressed in
the Deutsche lettings article were
those of the entire German colony in
Mexico, one of the leaders of the Ger
man socialist party in Mexico declar-
ed that they were held ony by the old
er and weather. colonists, who do
minated both the paper and the colony
but that a lage part of the colony
were willing toaccept the verdict of
the war and give their support to the
new German government and to re-
construction policies.

VILLA ARMY BADLY
DEMORALIZED
REPORTS BY CIVILIANS WHO SAW
ARMY.

Ell Paso, Tex. Aug francisco
Villas army which advanced on
Juarez with the intention of conquer.
ing northern Mexico and establishing
as rebel government in the north, re-
tired before United States troops bad.
ly demoralizer and diorganized, say
deserters, impressed soldiers who es
capped and civilians who saw them at
William Ahumada.
After two days and nights of in.
termittant fighting for possession OF
Juarez, Villa had depleted his ammuni
ton supply. A number of his staff who
came to the border after the retire
ment said many of Villas men had
no ammunition. Only Villas bodyguard
had more than 100 rounds. Soldiers
had thrown their rifles away while
crossing the desert with the American
cavalry in pursuit
Wills telegrapher, who escaped from
Villa at Villa Ahumada; reported to
Mexican officials in Juarez that the
rebels were without food, and that
their morale was very low
Discussions took place among Villa s
men after the battle. Martin Lopez,
who led the fighting in Juarez, is said
to have denounced the Uunited States
government would recognize the
Villa revolution and American troops
woul not modest them when they at
tackled Juarez..
Another report reaching the boruer
stated Villa, selected 200 picked men
from his forces and started south to-
ward Parral, announcing that 'he
could not fight the Americans" and
saying he was going back to the
mountains. Villa activities in the vicin-
ty of Parral, recently would tend to
confirm this report. General Angeles
was reported to have separated from
Villa and to be hiding in the hills near
the border.
Villa partisans here denied that
Villas army was demoralized. They
say one of Villas tricks is to scatter
his forces after a battle and then rea-
semble them when he is ready to con.
duct another campaign. Pillar de Con
chos, On the Conchos river near Par
raj, is said by Villas agents here to
be the rendezvous for VILLAS forces
and all of his bands are drifting in
that direction.

HOLDER AND OLIVE MAY
DECIDE REMOVAL REFERENDUM

Atlanta. Aug. 2.-It is probable
from the resolution of Senator Dixon
of the seventeenth that the fate of the
referendum of the capital removal
proposition will rest at the present
session of the Assembly with Speak
er Holder of the House and President
Olive OF the Senate, the latter to act
first on a ruling as to whether or not
two-thids majority will be required
to pass the measure which would APP
point "a commission to inquire as to
the feasibility of building new CAPT
tai and mansion in Macon or making
certain repairs on the present plant in
Atlanta.
It is regarded here that the reSolu-
ton was devised by Macon supporters
to avoid the twO-thirds obstacle which
could not be done at this session of
the assembly.
Atlantians claim that the resolution
is in itself constitutional amendment
and that any plebescite on the ques-
ton will require a tw0thhirds MAORI

PREDICT MEASURE
WILL BE PASSED!
Bill as Introduced Provides Commit.
tee Of Three to Handle Fund

Among the measures to be taken
up by the legislature soon after its
reconvening will be the bill intro
duced in the senate just before ad-
joufnment by Senator Ratcliff of
Montgomery county to appropriate
$4,000 to enable members of the
16Sth regiment invalided home to
attend the receptions and reviews of
the regiment to be put on in the
east when the famous regiment
comes back.
There is every indication that the
measure will pass. A committee of
three is provided for in the bill to
have charge of the fund and if there
are unexpended funds after the re-
ceptions are over these are to be
turned back into the state treasury.
The members of the committee are
Adjutant General Lasher, w. E.
Riley of Red Oak and Ellyson Green
of Winterset.
The famous 16Sth is expected to
arrive in New York some time about
May 1st. The organization, is world
famous as one of the best which par
ticipated in the war and receptions
and reviews are already being plan
ned in New York and also in Wash.
ington, d. C. 1t is probable recep-
tions will be staged in other cities en-
route and then of course one will be
put on when the famous organiza-
tion comes marching into it's home
state capital at Des Moines.
But there are many of the mem
bers of the organization who were
i'm the thick Of the fighting and were
injured or gassed or who became i'll
and who have reached their home in
advances OF their comrads, having
been invalided back: 1t is the hope
that these men can go on to New
York and rejoin their comrads when
they land and travel with them on
their victorious journey back to their
home state.
The 16Sth as part of the Rainbow
Division has attracted especial at.
tention of many of the national
leaders at Washington and they are
anxious for review to be put on al
the national capital.

Washington, D. C.-Iowa heroes
who died in France are to have their
graves photographed and copies OF
the prints sent to their relatives, the
American Red Cross announced to-
day. Every identified grave in
France is to be photographed under
plan worked out by the army and
upon receipt in Washington Of the
reproductions of the graves of lfber-
ty, the nearest relative Of the dead
soldier will be sent copy of tbs
print.
Announcing the scheme to per-
sestate to last resting places Of AM
erican heroes in France, the Red
Cross bulletin said:
plans have been perfected by the
American Red Cross whereby photo
graphs Of the identified graves OF
American soldiers in France will be
sent to the relatives of the heroes in
this country. Several hundred photo
graphs have already been forwarded
to the families of men who. died in
service overseas, and an announces
ment from Red Cross headquarters
Just made says that the work of OBJ
tanning photographs has been speed
ed up to the point where production
from now on is expected to reach
about 1000 every month. The photo
graph lis sent to the dead soldiers
next of kin.
:The Red Cross has taken over the
task of photographing the grave at
the request of the war department
and is acting under the authority OF
Lieut.. Cox C. c. Pierce. of the grave
registration service. The headquar-
ters of the service is at Tours
France Each photograph Is mounted
in a cardboard folding frame, one
side of which contains data concern
ing the dead soldier. r
while all requests for photo,
graphs should be forwarded to the
bureau of communications of the
American Red Cross, and not to the
graves registration service of the
army, such requests are not reall,
necessary and will not hurry the re-
ceipt of the photograph. Neither will
special requests receive any special
consideration. Every identified grave
, in France is to be photographed
under a plan worked out by the army
and the photographers will not b
permitted to deviate from this ar
rangement in order to take the pic
ture Of any particular grave. The
American Red Cross will forward ths
photographs to relatives as soon .:
they are received at headquarters.
