GOVERNMENT EXHIBIT AT IOWA

Uncle Sans experience as an ex-
hibitor at the Iowa State Fair last
year must have proved satisfactory
for be is coming back again this year

The first will have numerous sub
divisions covering Forest Service,

The exhibit from the War and

relics from the battle fields Of
France, and great mass Of fighting
equipment and paraphernalia Of the
sort used in the late war The dis
play of heavy ordnance, field guns,
siege guns, mines, torpedoes. etc.

A portion of this exhibit will be

Under normal conditions Russia

Under normal conditions Russia
and the small nations Of Southeastern
Europe produce a large surplus OF
food stuffs, which are marketed in
the densely populated countries OF
western Europe, and that is where the
food producers of this country, under
normal conditions, market their sur
plus products. But normal condi-
lions no longer exist in Russia and
the nations of central and southeast
ern Europe. Those countries are now
calling upon the United States for
food to keep them from starving, and
as long as the Bolsheyiki are in
power, and probably for some con-
siderable time thereafter, no European
country will produce a surplus OF
food stuffs, and the American farmer
will have no competition in European
markets. While the United States has
No rival in the food markets Of
Europe. the scarce money men are

THE sY, IN THE WAR.

A detailed report of the war work
of Che Y. NJ C. A. puts that organ
ization in more favorable light than
might have been expected from the
widespread criticism which prevailed
"a few months ago.
The "Y" actually spent in its wal
service, from the end Of April, 1917
to the end of March, 1919, about
1913 ,O00,0 900, and had $27,O00,000 left
to carry on the work until next Jan.
uary.
Only per cent of that $98,000,0O(
was spent for religious purposes. The
rest went for personal services and
entertainment, necessary expenses
and the distribution of supplies.
The impression that soldiers had t.
pay for everything they got from thu
IY. NJ. C. A. is refuted by such fact.
as these:

%, 900 sets Of boxing gloves distrib-
uted free overseas.
There were 97,O00,O00 free con
certs, vaudeville performances and
other entertainments given in Amer
lean environments, and more than 81
900 concerts and entertainments over
seas, costing altogether over $4,000
900.
For motion picture films there was
expended more than $l,000,000. There
was million spent for literature and
education, and two millions for atl-
letics.
A chain of hotels for men on Leave
was maintained at a cost of half a
million. There was about $11,0OO.O0O
spent for the erection and mainten-
ance of ''huts' for men in training
camps on this side, and nearly as
much for the same purpose abroad.
There were 4OO,OOO,O0O sheets soi
letter paper and half as many enyel-
opes, and 100000 postcards pro-
vided for soldiers in France.
About $16,0OO,OOO went for similar
benefits to the allied armies.
Many mistakes, no doubt, were made
on the human side, owing to a lack
of tact on the part of some Of the
men in charge of the "Y' stations. On
the whole however, this great insti-
tuition seems to have performed a big,
creditable work, whose worth is only
beginning to find proper application.

the DREAMED ABOUT. DAT HAS

Sarah Bernhard, in her memoirs
written many years ago, describes
seeing boy cut to pieces by a German
shell in the war Of 1870. She com

"Ah, the injustice, the infamy, OF war!

there will be a cosmopolitan council
where the wise man Of every country
will represent his nation, and where
the rights of humanity will be dis
cussed and respected? So many men

IA STANDARD Rating card for Iowa
Rural Schools" It Is an interesting
sheet and If space would permit we
should like to reprint it in full The
schools are scored on a 100 per cent
basis, each item on the score card al
lowing a certain per cent OF credit
according to the importance of the
subject for which it stands; /. e.. the
proper location Of windows Ito the
left and rear of pupils) counts for five
points on the 100 per cent basis, sat
isfactory ventilation will count anoth-
err five points, good shades and sash
curtains two points, etc. Other fea-
sures emphasized are good school fur
niture, good framed pictures, good
musical instrument, dictionary, globe,
maps, flag, water jar, individual
drinking cups-in brief it includes
practically all the features that we
can find in the. ideal rural school
'oday. 1t has many interesting fea-
lures, such as giving three credits
or visit of directors to school, three
credits for school exhibits to fair,
three credits for school literary pro-
grams, and so on.
The school that can reach score
of IS on this basis will be approved
us standard school. AS the law
reads the director of an approved
school will receive through the state
department the sum of $500 for ev-
cry pupil of the school who has at
tended six full months. AS the law
now reads one half of this money
will go to the teacher as bonus on
her salary, for great deal of sue
cess of the standardized school de-
ponds on the energy, ability and per-
severance OF the teacher. The other
half of the bonus must be used by
the director for further improvement
of the school.
On the whole the plan is a good
one and merits the unqualified sup
port of every school patron and tax
payer in the county. Practically all
the conditions can be met by the av-
erage school. And even these schools
which cannot hope to share in the
bonus because Of insufficient enroll
ment will be benefited through the
example and inspiration of the neigh
| boring Standardized School"

GEORGE f. ROBERTS AND FIFTY
CENT DOLLARS.

In 1895 George E. Roberts, then
resident of TT. Dodge, became such
an ardent defender of the legislation
which gave the people of this country
200 cent dollars that the scarce money
men In all parts Of the country sang
his praises. He made it quite clear
To those who were color blind, that
the legislation which DESTROYED hall
Of the standard money of the country
was not at all responsible for the low
prices and panics Of that year. he
commended that the bad times OF 1875
were solely due to democratic al
ministration and lack of confidence;
that the country nesded more conn
dence instead of more money, and that
kind Of argument plus. an enormous
campaign fund. won the national
election Of that year. Mr.. ROBERTS
was duly rewarded by the scarce
nonev nlutocrats for his work in that
campaign. He was made director OF
the mint and has ever since been
wall Street favorite.
But now Mr.. Roberts is beginning
to get his eyes open, or in any event
to, admit the correctness Of the
orantitative theory Of money. He Is
now engaged in writing newspaper
articles about our present 50 cent
dollars In one Of his recent articles
he says:
eve have got the 50-cent dollar to-
day. and it is a question whether we
are going to make it permanent.
Everybody knows that the pur-
chasing power Of money has declined,
that prices are twice as high, but
most people think it is due to the
fact that something has happened to
commodities. Few think OF 1t as due
to changes on the side Of money"
Mr.. Roberts had ought to know 9
good deal about the ignorance Of the
general public in reference to the
relation between prices and the vol
sume Of circulating medium. He was
one OF the men who misled- the public
in 1896. because Of the ignorance Of
the public in reference to the guam

titative theory Of money. :,
He now knows and readily ADULTS
that our present high prices are due
to the doubling Of our circulating
medium. HE knew. or should have
known, that the wretched business
conditions and low prices OF twenty
Ave years ago were due to the small
volume Of money then in circulation,
due to legislation akin to colossal
grand larcency.. W
