London, May 1.-The features Of tho
governments budget. which was dis
cussed in the House of Commons ycstcr-
day by Austen Chamberlain. chancellor
of the exchequcr. that are exciting most
discussion here are the continuance of
the policy of heavily taxing wealth
without an increase of taxes for people
OF moderate means and the launching
OF the scheme of preference for imports
from the dominions and colonies.
The taxation on wealth and business
is illustrated by the increase of inherit
ance taxes beginning with , per cent
on f15,O00 estates so that they pay 10
instead of per cent as at present, while
an estate of II 900 900 pays 30 instead
OF 20 per cent. Business is taxed by
the retention of an excess profits tax
OF 40 per cent, which Is half the exist
ing rate, but which brings complaint
from business mcn, who argue that it
discourages enterprise.

Is the first wedge for the introduction
OF the protective system. because prefer

from dead and the old line free traders

The popular demand for moro and

ing National Dairy Show, which will
be held in Chicago from October 6 to
IL next, will be practical demonstra-
lions showing the effects Of the wrong
kinds Of food on infants and growing
children and the converse effects Of
the right kinds Of food. Actual chill
dren will be shown to demonstrate
these facts. Children will be scored
and weighed for health standards by
experts at the show. "Malnutrition
clinics will be held daily. Every
mother Is interested in this subject,
and the demonstrations and exhibits
along these lines at the National Dairy
Show will be complete and wonderfully
interesting.
Realizing how important this whole
subject is, and knowing that the ex-
hibits and demonstrations along these
lines, both by the United States gov
eminent and by others, will be as COM
prehensive as were ever brought to-
gether in one place, the management Of
the National Dairy Show is anxious
that all women and children see these
things. It will be time we'll spent.

TAKE LESSON FROM UNCLE SAM

Everyone is interested in the dairy
business, both those engaged in it and
those who use milk and milk prod.
ucts-the latter including almost every.
one.
The United States government wants
the people of this country to know
more about milk and milk products
and their relation to human life.
That's why congress appropriated $50,
600 to enable the governmental depart.
ments interested to be adequately rep
resented at the National Dairy Show
in Chicago this year.
The United States has been spending
large sums of money in investigating
dairy conditions in this and foreign
countries.
Why not take a lesson from Uncle
Sam and learn more about milk and
milk products? The place is the Ma.
tienal Dairy Show in Chicago, from
October 6 to II.

1.-THE children of our country, over
25,0OO,OO0 strong, who represent our
nations future, are endangered" says
an official bulletin issued by the bureau
Of education, United States depart
ment Of the interior.
Another official bulletin issued by
the United States department Of la
Dor on August 4, 1919, makes the fiat
statement that from 100000 to g.
100000 of American children are not
getting enough to eat"
This state of affairs constitutes one
Of the country's greatest dangers. The
children-these millions of little ones
are "mal-nourished." They are not
getting the right kind of food. If we
are to be a great nation tomorrow, the
children of today must be strong, Wig
orous, rosy-cheeked, sturdy-limbed boys
and girls. They cannot be that with
out proper nourishment. The menace
is threatening; all authorities recog-
nize the fact, and a great work for bet
ter, stronger, well-nourished children Is
in progress all over the country.
One of the big features of the COM
Iowa County democrat. [volume] (Mineral Point, Wis.) 1877-1938, 1919-09-18

is the directing head and because she
believes there is big opportunity at
the Dairy Show for doing work we'll
worth while.
Mrs. Wood has laid ambitious plans
for the entertainment of women and
children at the show. There will be
examinations Of babies and children,
conferences and demonstrations in
child care. Rural schools will have
a place, as well as moving pictures
and lectures by noted men and women.
Afternoon tea for visiting women
will be served each afternoon in the
Stock Yards Inn, with prominent wom-
en- of Chicago acting as hostesses.
Mrs. Woods department will be housed
in large room and will be one of the
big attractions at the national show.

GOVERNOR OF
LOUISIANA COMING
TO DAIRY SHOW

Governor R. G. Pleasant Of Louisi-
ana will be visitor at the National
Dairy Show in Chicago this year and
will be at the head of large delega-
ton of farmers, dairymen, educators
and newspaper men from that state.
In honor of the visitors from the
South, who are coming to the show in
large numbers this year from different
states, Wednesday, October 8, will be
southern Day" and Governor Pleas
ant will be one Of the speakers.
The South is forging to the front
rapidly as a great dairying section.
The southern visitors, it is expected,
will be buyers of good dairy cattle in
large numbers. They are interested in
the show, too, from an education stand
point; they want to know how to i'm
prove their product according to the
latest improved methods and devices.

FOREIGN NOTABLES WILL
VISIT NATIONAL DAIRY SHOW

Already responses have been re-
ceived from fifteen or more foreign
governments that they will have Off
cial delegations at the National Dairy
Show in Chicago in October. In trans
hitting this information to the man.
agement of the Dairy Show the state
department at Washington says it ex-
poets that other governments will have
delegations at the show.
A formal invitation was extended by
the state department to these foreign
states to take official recognition of
the Dairy Show and to send delega-
lions and commissions to study the
dairy industry as 1t will be presented
in it's entirety in Chicago and to get
the United States governments post
war message on dairying conditions the
world over.
Iowa County democrat. [volume] (Mineral Point, Wis.) 1877-1938, 1919-09-18
And Has Chosen National Dairy
Show in Chicago in October
as Place to Transmit It.
Foreign NATIONS TO GET II
Delegations From Many Lands Across
Seas Will Be Present to Learn
What Uncle Sam Has to Say
About This Most Important
World Industry.

People Of the world must have milk
and milk products in ever-increasing
quantities. Never was the necessity
quite as vital as now.
The dairy industry In many Of the
countries Of war-torn Europe has been,
in large measure, destroyed by the
ravages Of the sanguinary conflict. In
FAINT mortality in some of these Euro
pean countries, following the loss Of
dairy cattle and dairy products, was
something appalling during the year,
and even now is little better.
The United States government has
had commissions In Europe studying
this condition; 1t has had commissions
devoting deep study to the dairy stu
alton In this country.
And the governments message on
the necessity for continued and In
creased production of dairy cattle in
the United States and of milk and it's
products is to be delivered to the ma
tons of the entire world at the Ma
tional Dairy Show that is to be held
this year In Chicago from October 6
to II.
As Important as Any War Measure.
Governmental heads at Washington
consider this message to be as impor-
tant as any delivered to the people
while the great war was In progress.
Congress has appropriated $4,000 ex.
preSsly for the purpose of enabling
those departments of the federal gov
eminent interested to exhibit at the
National Dairy Show, to deliver this
ringing postwar message and to visual
ize to the people the relation of milk
and milk products to human life.
Through the department of state at
Washington formal invitations were
extended to all foreign governments to
send delegations or commissions to
Chicago at the time of the National
Dairy Show to get the message and
also to exchange information and
ideas.
The management Of the Dairy Show
IL advised that already II foreign gov.
ernments have accepted this invitation
and will send delegations to the Dairy
Show. 1t is probable that many others
will do likewise.
Thus, the National Dairy Show OF
1919 takes on an international charac.
ter. 1t will be the postwar clearing
house and bureau Of information on the
dairy industry of the world.
States Take Notice Of the Show.
Official recognition Of the Importance
of the National Dairy Show this year
to the country and the world at large
will also be taken by governors Of diff.
ferent states, in all probability.
The United States government is
asking for large attendance at the
show that it's message may be heard
by many ears and it's very wonderful
and complete exhibits may be seen by
many eyes.
There is no person in any way con-
nected with the great dairy industry
OF the United States-an industry
whose output runs up to the tremend-
Gus estimated total Of three billion
($3,0O0,000,0O0) dollars a year-who
should miss the Dairy Show.
The government has most vital and
important message for all.
