Bankers Begin to
Wonder What viii
Happen Next March
Special to Times Republican.

Special to Times Republican.
Des Moines. July 2S--What's going
to happen in Iowa the first Of next
March?
Iowa bankers are beginning to won
der. according to the vice president OF
one Of Des Moines' principal banks,
who. for obvious reasons does not want
to be quoted by name. He foresees
numerous difficulties growing out OF
the present unprecedented movement
of Iowa land. at unprecedented prices.
Il think I am safe in saying" he
declared, that Iowa bankers gener-
ally and hence forth will adopt policy
OF discouraging the purchase by their
patrons Of Iowa land at anything above
$500 an acre.
'Tf the present boom continues there
are going to be number of heads
bumped when settlement day comes
around next spring. First payments
made on Iowa land are going to be
lost by men who can't afford to lose
them, but who will find themselves un-
able completely to finance their deals
at banks.
Deals in farm at fancy prices are
flooding into the banks these days.
The bankers are beginning to worry
about the effect. am not certain that
prevailing prices represent actual in
fiation; neither am certain that, even
in these days Of high prices, Iowa land
generally can produce sufficiently to
make such investments wise.
"The most disturbing fact in the sit
uation that one can borrow just about
as much money at the bank these days
on 5000 land as he can borrow on $3.50
land. On the higher priced ground.
therefore. the purchaser is going to
find that he must carry about $50 OF
investment unaided. There are many
people who will be financially unable
to do this, with the result that they
will lose their original investment.
Bankers are advising clients who
must depend upon the banks to finance
their land ventures to buy cheaper
land. The only man who can safely af-
ford to buy Iowa land at $3.50 today
is the man who is able to pay cash
for it." =

Rodenburg informed the men he had
no objection to the place being
searched but he asserted that he al
ways treated people fair and expected
the same in return and said he would
like to see their search warrant first.
1.-THE captain has one" said the
spokesman. But the captain, after he
had frisked himself thoroughly, was
unable to produce the search warrant
and said he had left It at home and
would send a man right after it if
Rodenburg insisted. The latter did not
insist and the search was proceeded
with. every building on the place and
every hay stack and manure pile be-
ing searched but no liquor was found.

FRENCH POPULATION SHIFTS

Herbert Adams Gibbons, whose in
teresting study, Human Currents Of
the War;" appears in the July issue
Of Everybody's, quotes the following
statistics to indicate the trend of
population from country to city as a
result of industrial mobilization in
France. 1.-THE population of France
has decreased by two millions.
Three million men are still mObiliz-
ed at this writing. And yet the pop
ulation of Paris has increased nearly
a million Other cities claim the fol-
lowing increases: Lyons, 100000;
Marseilles, $4,000; Toulouse, $780,
900; Bordeaux, 1000, and st. Ell
enne, Rouen, Limoges, Montpelier,
Cette, Nice, Havre, Brest, Nantes and
Grenoble from 10000 to 100000
each. The figures cannot be checked
up until the new census is taken.
There are undoubtedly exaggerations.
But we cannot be far from wrong if
we take these cities and a dozen
other centers in estimating that the
already depleted agricultural regions
of France have contributed to the
cities at least 100000 new inhabi-
tants. What will be lost by return
ing refugees is likely to be counter
balanced by the marked determines
ton of hundreds of thousands of de-
modified soldiers to settle in large
centers," -.....,

FAT FOLKS CHANCE.
(Kansas City Starr

Summer is fine time for fat folks.
For summer is, above all, the season
for the diet that satisfies hunger
without furnishing surplus weight.
Taking off flesh is as simple a mat
ter as reducing your bank account
All you have to do is to eat less food
Your surplus flesh will then dimin-
ish just as surely as the balance
when you check out more than you
deposit. There is no mystery about
| it.
If you really wish to take advant-
age of the situation and take off
weight, specialize on summer vegeta-
bles. You would have to eat some
thing like 50 worth of lettuce and
tomatoes to get as much food as you
would from 80 cents worth of butter
or ten cents worth of sugar. So go
to the lettuce and tomatoes and
spinich and beets and string beans.
1t is easy in summer to pick out a
good living made up largely of veg
etables that are mostly camoufiaged
food. They taste good and give you
the feeling that you have eaten, but
they don't contribute to the size of
that equatorial region about which,
as regards Mr.. Willard, all the sport
writer's were so interested.
Incidently, there is no use kidding
yourself with the idea that you are
restricting your diet if you restrict it
only at meals and eat plenty of ice
cream and candy between meals.
Nature refuses to be kidded. 1t
takes everything you eat quite seri-
OuSly.
