The Joys of Peace.

How pleasant it is to go back to
the little ways of peace. One can idle
an hour or two away with a frivolous
book and do it with a clear con-
science, without a substratum of
thought running through the mind
that we should be actively up and do
ing, engaged in one of the innumer-
able ways of winning the war. One
can drift into a playhouse and watch
a musical comedy's mild amblings
and let the ear be Initiated with light
tunes without feeling that perhaps
it is not just the thing to do in days
of darkness and sorrow. The lights
the bright, white, reassuring lights
are there again before the theatre
telling us that fuel economy is nc
longer imperative, that evenings af'
ter a full days labor can again be
spent idly and lixuriously. One car
even invest an idle dollar in box OF
chocolates because one feels that
sugar saving is no longer quite sc
necessary. These, of course, are days
of reaction. Soon we will return to
the sterner things. We will worry
about the league of nations and the
freedom of the seas; We will be pre-
cipitated into the problems Of re-
construction. But little lull has in
sidiously placed itself between the
grave days that are to come. And
this little lull, we find, is welcome
and thing to be cherished.-Col-
lier's Weekly.

Profits From Small Farm.

Experts claim that the larger the
farm the greater the profit, in pro-
portion to the man power exerted.
j. F. Grave of the Waverly Indepen-
dent, tells about the success of a
small farmer. He says that a few
miles up the Cedar river, near st.
Ansgar, Joseph Sedlacek has an 80
acre farm. Joseph and his farm are
getting a good deal of free advertis-
ing because Joseph is able to de-
monstrate that a man does not need
a quarter section or more to become
a successful farmer. He sold pro-
ducts from his farm this year
amounting to $2O,916. He sold 210
head of hogs for $2,4S1, and had 80
acres in garden crops, which gave
him S11,435. Twelve acres of onions
yielded $7,335; sixteen acres of po-
tatoes, $4,000; eleven acres of cab
bage, $1,000. Now the average town
dweller, who is figuring on getting
nearer to the soil need not expect
to do that well, at first. But he will
probably be satisfied with less.

To the Army Shoe

Whatever one may criticise in the
idea of government control of indus
try, the shoes the army boys wore in
the war were real shoes. While
civilians felt the pressure of scarcity
in leather and trod the terrain in all
kinds of substitutes and with ever
recurring frequency got next to Mo-
Their Earth with the cuticle of their
soles, it was a deep qualification to
see the soldiers coming squarely
down on the ground in footwear that
was leather through and through.
A big, honest, roomy shoe, fit for
any encounter, is a joy to behold and
a Joy to the understanding. What
use in the worlds real work is 4
"pince" toe shoe full of frivolty and
corns?
When something worth while is
about to arrive in the worlds history
you hear it coming; and you hear an
American regiment coming in plenty
OF time to give it a whooping well
come. One of its conspicuous charms
is the measured beat of heroic feet
TO grow poetic-indomitabl I'M
conquerable, servicable feet, clad in
in Uncle Sans trusty, faithful,
genuine shoes.

Buttermakers Want All Cream to
BE paSteuriZpd

That all cream used in Iowa for the
manufacture of butter be pasteurized
is the aim of the buttermakers of the
state. At the recent meeting of but
termakers in Cedar Rapids a commit
tee was appointed to draw up bill
and submit it to the legislature this
winter asking for a state law requir-
ing pastuerization.
1t has been presented by those who
are not friendly to the local creamer-
les, that butter made in the local
plants is not made from pastuerized
cream and for that reason may be
injurious to health.
Although it may be difficult to
prove the correctness of this state
ment, at the same time if the cream
cries Of Iowa desire to manufacture
and market a product which can be
established to be absolutely safe,
then it will be necessary that such a

What burial robe there will be,
will have to be provided by the Red
Cross, as the woman had scant eff
fects and no money. A few letters
written in German from that coun-
try in 1909, mention the name of one
of her boys, Frederick, but give no
further information as to possible
relatives or friends.
Efforts Are Fruitless.
All efforts of the Red Cross home
service department to trace rela-
tives in Lincoln have proved fruit
less. Unless some one who knew
her recognizes the accompanying
photograph taken in death, the body
will be put to rest without a sin

According to a state law, the body
is the property Of the state. Were
it not for the Christian burial the
Red Cross will give the body, if no
one claims it, the remains of the
mother who gave two sons to Uncle
Sam could be used for dissection

Foreign Exchange With the
Russians to Be Stopped

Washington, Feb. 28.-Foreign
exchange transactions between the
United States and Russia have been
prohibited by the federal reserve
board and similar action has been
taken by the authorities of Great
Britain and France. 1t is UNDER
stood that one purpose of the step
is to stop the financing of bolshevik
propaganda.
The reserve board, it became
known today, acted at the request of
the State department. Evidence was
obtained, it is said, that large sums
of money had been made available
in the United States for use of boil
shevik agents. Practically the only
means of stopping this was to shut
off these transactions.
