wallace's Farmer: We have
just been looking over some
questions submitted by a farm
bureau committee to 4 packing
company which is now selling
stock in Iowa, and the answers
made to these questions by the
packing company. A number OF
farm bureaus are submitting
questions of this sort when stock
statesmen come into their coun-
ties, and are then sending out
copies of the questions and an
swers to their members.
1t seems to us that il the farm
bureaus are to render a service
Of very much value to their menu
bers, they should ask for much
more detailed information than
we find asked for in this particu.
lar set OF questions. The an
swers to the questions do not
expose anything that the pro-
moters might not wish exposed,
unless it may be the pay which
they are giving the solicitors
who are selling the stock. They
are perfectly harmless questions,
asking simply for the name OF
the association, the authorized
capital, the character of the
stock, the amount sold, the num-
Der of stockholders, the dividend
rates, the commission paid for
selling the stock, statement of
the amount of Indebtedness, and
the officers of the company.
We suggest that the farm bu-
reaus add to their questions
something like the following:
Are the promoters of the CON-
pany receiving salaries while the
company is being organized? If
so, what salary is paid to each Of
them?
Have arrangements been made
with any other company to under
write the sale of the stock? If SO,
what commission is paid to this
other company? Do any Of the
officers or promoters OF the en-
terprise have an interest, direct
or indirect, in the underwriting
company?
Have any of the officers or
promoters OF the enterprise been
given or promised any shares of
the stock as reward for their
services?
Has any contract been made
for the purchase of an existing
plant, Or of land, or other build
ings, to be used by this company?
Ii SO, give full particulars. Have
any of the officers or promoters
OF this company had any inter-
est, direct or indirect, in the land
or buildings or plant or anything
else for which contract Of pur-
chase has been made or which
it is proposed to purchase?

SUGAR A MORAL ISSUE

Springfield, Mass. Republican; The
moral issue about sugar. raised by
the United States sugar equalization
board, is somewhat novel, but it con.
Germs us all directly and personally.
There is now a sugar shortage in
America, with the result that New
England, New York and the south
went on a rationing basis yesterday.
But what is the cause of this domes-
tic shortage?
Statistics prove that we have al
ready consumed this year $50, 600 tons
of sugar in excess of normal, an in
crease of II per cent. The years sup.
ply, in brief, was abundant, If judged
by pre-war standards of consumption.
At the rate of consumption in the first
nine months of this years, America
would consume for the whole year A.

IN AUTUMN.
Across the corn fields bleak winds moan ana sign;
Wild, honling geese go swiftly sailing by;
The bending grass blade wears a frosty hue
Gray clouds hang heavy shutting out the plue'
The erstwhie babbling brook forgets its song,
And with mournful cadence purls along,
Clogged by dead leaves the trees aside nave cast
AS outworn rament in autumn blast
And vet though nature this garb forlorn,
We know again fair frutage will adorn
Her barren places; and we rest secure
AS rests the plant beneath its coVerture
OF leaf and snow-the bird on tired wing
Across vast distances safe journeying;
So while the springs of life seem slow to rare
In faith we trust loving Fathers care

BUDGET BILL PASSED.

With but three dissenting votes the house
has passed the bill which will provide for ma
tional budget machine; moreover, 1t passel the
Graham amendment by which the comptroller
general is required to report to congress any ex-
penditures of an emergency nature authorized
by executive departments and not provided for
in the budget. The almost unanimous support
Of this measure by the house is evidence of its
sense that the people demand business man
agement Of public moneys by the government
and it is almost certain that the senate will act
on the bill in an equally non-partisan spirit.
There still remains the moot question OF the
congressional handling Of budget matters.
Economy and efficiency would seem to point to
the ACCESSIBILITY of constituting committee IN
each house to supplant the many committees
that now handle various appropriation meas
ures. The supreme test of the sole motive OF
business efficiency will come when this phase Of
budget management is brought to a vote.

WHERE cLERGYMEN ARE NOT WANTED.

A speaker at a ''radical'' meeting in Chicago
recently reminded the audience that In the com
ing socialistic state there would be no clergy
men, nor would the working classes Of that hap
DIV day be any longer narrowed and coerced
by the false ideas of future life which the
church in collision with captalistic state had
spread abroad in order to keep the masses in
subsection to their will
Of course it is common knowledge that So
cialisln has the clergy classified as non-pro.
ducers, but the idea that notions concerning a
future state of existence were invented to keep
the proletariat in check is somewhat new Per
haps the idea is that the beatitude promised to
the meek and merciful, the poor in spirit and
the patient, was ingeniously designed to keep
the masses content with their lot; or is if the
doctrine of future torment which this radical
resents? This dogma as formerly taught and
generally accepted, is now esteemed irrational
and an eminent churchman who is also a noted
writer on religious subjects, goes so far as to
say that if the atrocious doctrine of eternal
punishment is held in heaven, earth ought to
send missionaries there But that preaching
has no particular and exclusive application to
the workingman. The church has always used
it as a scourge with which to whip the opulent
worker Of iniquity into line, and the more he
could pay for remissions the more attention his
malefactions received. 1t would seem therefore
that in denouncing such teaching as part OF a
plutocratic propaganda, this radical was beside
the mark. The nearest approach the world has
ever seen to the state of which he dreams, which
is to have no use or place for teachers Of re-
.Tgion is probably the Russia Of today

Get II FOR keokuk.

To the Editor of The Gate City:
| understand that the Huiskamp'e
shoe factory, at Warsaw, employing
about $50 operators, is shut down on
account of labor trouble.
This is factory that really belongs
tc Keokuk and should never have been
located away from here. This now
seems an opporture time to get ii
back where it belongs. We have at
least two buildings vacant in the
heart of the city suited for this fac
tory. Is it not time when we should
go after It? With the cooperation OF
the business and the industrial asso
citation this enterprise can be re.
claimed for this city, under existing
labor conditions.

Ten Years

His Years

Doesn't it make you feel
good-cause you to straight
en- up and feel "chesty'-
when someone guesses your
age at ten years or so
younger than you really
are? You look into your
mirror, smile with satisfac-
ton and say to yourself:
well, he didn't make such
a bad guess, at that"
The point is: You're no
older than your vitality.
If a man is strong, vigor-
GUS, mentally alert, fine and
fit at SO he has a better
chance of living up to 80
than a man of 80 who is
weak and rundown has of
living up to so. While none
of us can stay the years nor
stop time, we should all
make an heroic effort to sue
cessfully resist the effects
of time by ever keeping our
vitality at par.
When you sense a feeling
of slowing down of your
physical forces your
stomach, liver, kidneys and
other organs show signs of
weakness-when you notice
a lack of your old time pep
and punch in other
words, when you feel your vitality
is on the wane, you should COM
