1t Is Still the War.
(Des Moines Capital


The cost of white paper to news
papers is now the highest it has been
since the war started. The Des
Moines Capital is now paying $75.O5
a ton for the white paper on which it
is printed, and when the war broke
out the average price was $4,000 a
ton.
There has been two increases in
the cost of white paper within the
past ninety days, one of $500 ton
and one of $500 a ton, and in the
case of the Des Moines Capital both
of these increases have dated back
to January 1st. The federal trade
commission and the circuit court
have been handling the matter, and
are allowing the paper manufacture
ers $3.50 a ton profit. This is un-
justified by any standards heretofore
known in fixing profits, and it is a
very severe blow to the publishing
business.
In spite OF the present high prices
of paper, and in spite of the fact that
the war is over, the international
Paper Company, which is the largest
corporation of its kind in America is
Offering contracts for the year 1918
at $4,000 a ton, or $500 a ton in
crease over the present price being
paid by the Capital.
We thought our subscribers might
be interested in these tremendous in
creases, as subscribers are aware
that they are being asked to pay the
highest subscription prices in the
history of the Capital. NV

Dear Della, Merlin and Carl:
Received your letter some days
ago, thanks for same. Also received
Carts and the other letter you sent.
which l did answer. But guess you
mustn't have received it because you
don't say anything about it. Am glad
to hear that you are all we'll, which
can say | am too, feeling fine. Sup
pose you folks are having pretty cold
weather by this time, maybe snow
too. We are having pretty nice
weather over here, only it's been
raining nearly every day, but the
sun is shining bright, but we don't
see it very often as it is cloudy near
ly all the time. ~ g.
Suppose you had a good time
Thanksgiving day. Suppose you got
turkey and all kinds of good things
to eat. We celebrated Thanksgiving
at Lucy, where We stayed at that
time. They had service in the morn
ing and in the afternoon it started
to rain The same day we were given
sweaters by the Red Cross, also got
cookies, cigarettes, candy, gum, to.
bacco by the Y. NJ c. A., and the
next day we moved and hiked all
day. Friday and Saturday and sure
felt good to rest on Sunday.
Got a letter from pa, ma, Adolpll
and Marvel. They were all feeling
pretty good. They told me they he'd
sent me a Christmas package, but
haven't received it yet. Sure didn't
expect any presents this year, only
ten days until Christmas and the
days are getting short. 1t gets dark
here between four and five O'Clock.
Suppose that you heard that Her.
fred and Mary got little girl, and
that Orlando Dahlen is married, also
Otto Smorstad. Sure was surprised to
hear that Marie Steen was married.
Well the war is over and / hope
lit can now be settled without any
more fighting. can say we sure were
lucky, as we wasn't on the main
fighting front. We were in the front
lines, but in a quiet sector. If the
war had lasted a few weeks more, we
would sure been on the main fight
ing front. So I sure was lucky, and
if everything turns out the way it
has been doing, will be home again
sound and in good health.
They didn't have any paper at the

THANKS RED CROSS WORKERS.
Director kepford Issues Statement
Regarding War Services.

Des Moines-With some of the
activities of the Red Cross discon-
tinuing State Director A. E. Kepforl
today issued a statement of apprecia-
ton of the work of the loyal friends
and members of the organization
whose work helped win the great
victory in Europe. Director Kepford
said:
AS the new year bears upon us
/ can not refrain from expressing TO
my comrads of the Red Gross the
personal appreciation which l feel
for the wonderful spirit of co-opera-
ton shown me as director, The in
slant response of the loyal people of
Iowa to the Red Cross call and the
patient, loving and efficient service
rendered has distinguished our state
among the states of the union.
When l became state director in
July, 1917, we had in this state
about $4,000 members. Thru your
inspiration and enthusiasm on the
st of July, 1918, our records show
ed 100000 members of the adult
American Red Cross. This did not in
clude the Junior members. 1t will
therefore be seen that about "A per
cent of the total population of Iowa
was enrolled This placed Iowa at the
head of all the states on the per
cent of total population belonging
to the Red Cross. Also Iowa had the
largest number of members enrolled
in the American Red Cross of any
state in the union. In chapters and
branches organized Iowa also eXcell
ed. .... g..
NO order was ever issued 10 the
Iowa Red Cross that was not i'm
mediately obeyed. Your loyalty and
fidelity have given to the state a
significant place. AS state director
J have performed very humble
function but withal most pleasant
task. 1t has been gratifying to me to
work with so fine spirited and clear
visioned people. Your chapters and
branches have measured up TO high
est expectation and no called for sup
plies whether surgical dressings,
hospital garments or knitted goods
was ever untitled. No call for funds
but met instant response with a
great over measure.
THE war is over. In the probable
tiles in your generation and mine we
shall not be called again to mobilize
for such a grim tragic proposition.
But the spirit of the Red Cross re-
mains. 1t will be perennial. AS long
as our lives shall last the spirit of
comradship shall last.
1--WE have witnessed the miracles
Of democracy in the mobilization of
millions of splendid young men OF
our nation. We have seen them per-
form the highest functions Of their
citizenship, fearlessly and unto
death, that freedom from mankind
shall not perish from the earth.
Many are in the sleep that knows
no waking on foreign soil. Many are
wounded and invaded for life.
Others are suffering the keen disap-
pointment of actual participation but
every one has maintained the tradi-
lions of our national life. AS COM
RAIDS of the Red Gross we are also
comrads with them. We all share the
spirit of those living or dead and
lace toward the future with conf
dent hope of world peace and fedora
ton"

Your brother,
Iowa Soldier Captures Cousin.

Council Bluffs.-One of the great
est honors to fall to a member of
Company L, 16Sth infantry, came to
Private William ]. Greulach, son OF
Mr.. and Mrs. John Greulach, well
known German people of this city,
who had the remarkable distinction
of capturing mis- own cousin and
making him prisoner in the late
days Of the war.
Speaking the German language
fluently, in fact better than he did
the English language when he en-
listed and went to France with the
Iowa regiment, young Greu!ach fe.'
into conversation with a German
captain, commanding squad of Hun
priconers taken by him and his COM
RAIDS. The Iowa lad was asked where
he was from and when he said
Council Bluffs, Iowa, the German of
ficer said he had an uncle living in
Council Bluffs by the name of Greu-
ZACH.
Private Greulach could scarcely be-
lieve his ears and an excited ex-
change Of talk between the Hun cap
tain and the Council Bluffs lad as
they developed and explained to each
other their relationship, being cou-
sins, led the rest Of the Iowa SOL
diers to believe there was a riot i'm
minent. Young Greulach is still with
the 16Sth in Germany.

REPAIR BILL JAN
 BE GUT THROUGH EXERCISING CARE

Motor car owners could very cas- fly cut down repair bills if they would occasionally examine the various me chanical units in their car.' says George II. Reuben of the Reuben Auto company
 Tt does not take much time. nor for that matter any great amount of me chanical knowledge. to tighten a bolt here and there, and in the long run, this may have serious repair bill. There are many ways in which owners could operate their cars at great deal lower expense, simply by perform ing these little acts
 For example. an easy method of cleaning valve stems, under suspicion of harboring carbon deposits, is to in ject a little kerosene in the air valve of the carburetor while the engine is running. In this way, the kerosene finds it's way down the valve stem and softens and washes off the carbon. It is not a bad idea to do this once a month or so.
 Another very important feature is changing the oil in the crankcase. This is a simple operation and if an tions he gets when he first purchases his car, particularly this point of ail and oil cleaning, he would save himself much trouble. fabrication is the paramount feature to perfect motor car operation. Owners cannot be too careful on this question. Engineers will tell you that positive oiling is the very life of the car
 "The instruction book used profitably Is a guide to lower repair bills. It does not take much trouble to read this over occasionally in order to brush upon the parts of the car that need attention and are often apt to be neg T ~1-- to these little things and examine reg ularly the parts that need attention. there would be fewer cars in the re- pair shop. Besides saving money, you have the additional advantage of oper- ating a perfect running car"

WHAT YEAR?

How old are you? When were you born? See if you really know. See if your children know how old they are.
 Do not laugh at these simple ques- lions until you try the test.
 It is common occurrence Co find school children. even high school pupils in the junior and senior years who cannot tell correctly in what year they were born.
 You will need this information when you apply for marriage license or in registering for voting; or in seeking a government position; or in case you claim that you are heir to a fortune that is going to some other person. You may have to go under oath as to your age when you pay your customs duties upon return from your next European trip. so you should practice up.
 In some of. our states there is no birth registration, so you may not be able to prove from the records that you ever were born This might be embar- rassing to you if you want to marry in Europe.
