Two Sets Of Producers,

Chicago bank, presenting the
farmers view of the present econp-
mic situation, makes this incisive
comment:
Farmers and ruralists generally
are seriously perplexed at being cal
led upon to exert themselves to raise
larger and larger crops in order to
reduce the cost of living for dwellers
in towns,and cities, while the latter
seek to organize and strive harder
and harder to reduce working hours
and advance wages, thus tending to
increase the cost of wares which the
farmer must buy" 49,,
1t must be admitted that this is
the present tendency.
More food is needed, Of course.
But it is certainly inconsistent to
harp on the need of larger farm pro-
duction unless there is simultaneous
demand for larger production of
manufactured goods. Fuel, furniture.
paint, hardware and all sorts of
other commodities are needed as we'll
as food, and there can be neither
lower prices nor equitable adjust
ment Of the burdens of city folk and
country folk, until both classes CO.
operate in stimulating production.
There are many special causes Of
high prices in this or that field.
There are also general causes apply
ing to pretty nearly everything. Per-
haps the chief of these general
causes is the fact that for several
years the production of useful manu-
facturers has Jagged while industri-
al effort was applied to war pur-
poses. 1t is no time, therefore, for
anybody, whatever his occupation,
to seek greater ease than usual.
That will do after the deficit has
been made up.
The farmers have been speeding
up, now let the industries speed up.

SEPT. IS NEXT Big
PAY DAY BY U. 5.
Nearly EigEt-Nine Million Dollars to
Go for Bond interest
PURCHASE OF WAR SAVINGS
STAMPS Is URGED
Save Money Until Buying Power Of
Dollar Increases is Advise.

Uncle Sans next big pay day this
year comes on Sept. Is. On that
date the treasury department will
give to every investor in Liberty
bonds his interest. In the aggegate
that will amount to $SS,75O,9S3.
With the purchasing power of the
dollar lower than it has ever been
it is the part of wisdom to keep your
dollars workeing, earning interest
until money is worth more. On Sept.
15, every one to whom Liberty bond
interest is due has the opportunity
to reinvest that interest in War
Savings Stamps. That will keep your
income growing for the War Savings
stamp pays four per cent, compound
ed quarterly.
The procedure is easy. All you
have to do is to take your Liberty
bond coupons to any postoffice or al
most any bank and exchange them
for War Savings stamps, which are
non-depreciable and non-fiuctuating.
In case you ever need the money,
You always can cash them at any
postoffice .on ten days notice. Each
purchaser of War Savings stamps
gains sure profit and insurance for
the future. The government gains
some money and assures and stabili-
zes its financial safety and prosperity
by assuring the financial future of its
citizens.
Uncle Sam will have more par
days this year. They will occur Oc-
tober Is, November Is and Decem-
Der Is. II all the Liberty bond in
terest due from March Is last to De-
cember Is were reinvested in War
Savings stamps, the total put in the
latter government securities would
amount to $S04,057.716. Following

GREATER iowa
WEEK IN OCTOBER
Plans Now Being Laid for General
Observance Throughout the
State October 10 to 25
GREAT PROGRAM TO
CARRIED OUT
Prizes Will be Given for Most Conn
prehensive Participation in
Nearly ali Progressive
Cities and Towns


week, when the thought of all Iowans
will be directed toward Iowa, her
achievements and her opportunities
has been set for Oct. 10 to 20, in
elusive hnd arrangements already
are under way for more complete
observance than ever before.
The churches of the state will be
asked to cooperate on Sunday, Oct.
10, and special information will be
given to every minister in. Iowa, witt
an urgent request that the state, its
people. and its civic ideals be dis
cussed that day,
Friday Oct. "a, will be Iowa day in
all of the schools, and in cooperation
with the state department of public
instruction, information will be Civ
en- to every school teacher in the
state. upon which to have special
program in each school room. In
fact, the Greater Iowa Association
under whose auspices the observance
is conducted each year, is now pre-
pairing a special program for the
schools, which will include articles
on various activities, including agri-
culture, animal husbandry, manu-
facture and commerce. Other special
articles will be prepared concerning
Iowa's scenic features, and her
record in various war activities,-a
sort Of Iowa History up to Date
in tabloid form. &
The county superintendents of
schools will cooperate by requesting
each teacher to select pupils to study
these different articles and present
them either in recitation or reading,
during the special program of October
"a.
The commercial interests of the
state will devote the week to direct
ing attention to Iowa made goods. A
plan Of cooperation between manu-
facturer, jobber and retailer is being
perfected, whereby local merchants
will make special window displays,
and possibly. counter displays of
articles manufactured in Iowa.
Special advertising will be undertak-
en- in local newspapers, calling at.
tentiOn to these displays and to
Iowa's progress in industry. Prizes
will be given for the most compre-
hensive participation in nearly all Of
the progressive cities and towns
One evening will be devoted to din
.ner meeting, where the business men
from both the town and country
and the business women, too-will
gather to hear discussed the civic
ideals Of the town, the state and the
nation.
Iowa was the first and is the only
state conducting a week Of obser-
vance Of this character. The Greater
Iowa Association inaugurated this
plan in 1915 and repeated 1t in 1917.
Last year no observance was had,
owing to war activities. and the as
sociation officials are anticipating a
tremendous success this year.

IS GOOD FOR INFANTS
Chemical Analysis Held Not to be
Sufficient to Determine True
Value of FOOds-Inf1uence
of Heredity Also Being
Studied

guinea pigs guide to infant nutri-
tion! Which is no joke, either. The
great mission Of white rats in this
world is to establish the proper diet
for little babies. And every day in
the laboratory of the child welfare
research station at the State Univer-
sity OF Iowa, they are carefully fed
with quantity, proportion and
variety Of food very carefully noted.
This research work is being done by
DR.. Amy Daniels, professor Of nutri-
tion, who has made some very in
teresting discoveries thru her re-
search work with animals.
1T has been proved" DR.. Daniels
points out, "that chemical analysis of
food is not sufficient to determine its
true value to the human system.
Thus, altho beans show a chemical
food value as high as meat, they do
not provide as much nourishment by
any means. In the same way, altho
wheat is popularity supposed to be
the most nourishing cereal, other
grains are just as nutritious. Chemi.
cal tests having been proved insult
cient, practical study of food values
may be made thru animals"
In the majority of cases food un-
der which the rats thrive will be
equally good for babies. However, in
some instances it has been found
necessary to vary the percentage to
a slight degree.
The work with rats has been of
particular, value in feeding babies
who are treated at the children's
hospital under the Perkins law.
Within the last year methods have
been greatly improved. and there is
q much better understanding Of the
kinds and proportion of different
foods which are best for babies. A
very complete milk and diet kitchen
makes it possible to provide every
modification Of milk for the infants
in the hospital-for the babies who
are well, for the babies who are Grip
pied, and, most important Of all, for
those whose. sickness is q problem OF
nourishment.
The influence of heridity Is another
problem which is being studied with
the aid Of rats, and experiments thru
two or three generations are conduc-
ted to determine the extent to which
heredity may be Offset. Surprising
results have been attained, and it has
been found that during the early
months of life parental and heredity
influences may be overcome to a re-
markable degree.
During the last twenty-five or
thirty years. since habits of eating
have been greatly revolution1zed. the
problem Of nutrition has become a
very yexing one for children and ba-
bies. and for adults as WE'LL" says
DR.. Daniels. II have been impressed
with the imperfection Of child nour.
ishment In this state, and the child
welfare research station is attempt
ing Improvement of nutrition during
the most vital months and years of
life"
