Your county agentfrom time to
time receives calls for various
farm products such as seeds,
stock, etc. If you will write him
when you have such things for
sale he will probably be able to
put you in touch with buyer.

One of the greatest drawbacks
to stock raising in our county is
a lack of proper pastures and
feeds. Good pastures and good
grain feeds are paramount to su-
cessful production of stock eco
nomically. One without the
other presents one sided ra-
ton. Too many farmers think
that all their hogs need is corn,
but experiments show beyond a
doubt that hogs fed corn alone,
are rather expensive. There
are two kinds of feed, starch
feeds, land protein feeds, and tt
produce pork cheaply, botf
should be used, Corn is
starch feed, while peanuts, soy
beens, tankage, etc. represen
protein fe e d S IF h G /
value. A mixture of these
should be used for best results
To feed a hog nothing but
corn, and expect it to do best, il
just as bad as feeding a farme
on cornbread alone three times
day and expect him to be able t
stand up to hard work. H,
must have some meat. Tankag
soy beans, peanuts, etc. are tn
meat or protein feeds which a
stock should have.

The Aurelian Springs Comun-
ity Fair will be held again this
year. The date set is October
2lst. This will be the only Fair
to be held in the county this year
Every farmer in that section
will be expected to do his part to
help make the Fair a greater sue
cess than ever. A Community
Organization is of great value to
any section, but its real value
lies in the interest and pride the
people of that section take in it.

A CRUEL COMPARISON.

A township in an Iowa county held
q mass meeting refusing to take its
quota Of the fifth loan and notified the
leaders Of the county that they would
not take their allotment
Now comes the comparison, \ boy
from that county went thru tic severe
fighting abroad. He was offered a
commission for bravery in the field
and refused II because as ne said he
came out with X company aud pro-
posed TO stick with it.. Later he was
urged to go 10 an Officers training
school and refused asain. Finally ne
Was made a lieutenant anyhow and is
or his way back To his discharge and
his home county today.
The two incidents make their own
comparisons. They illustrate very
definitely the od.um that proverbially
may attach 10 comparison. The sol
der and the slackers in his home
county simply stand out against each
other against the background Of the
war. II Is a comparison of manhood,
honesty, patriotism, courage and citi-
zenship: and they are all with the
soldier
II is also a comparison that viii last
as long as the men involved in il live
and will outlast them to the honor and
the shame of their grandchildren: for
such things are never forgotten. When
occasion arises recollection stands up
and points its finger.

gress some years ago making the
guard of the states a part of the MILL
tary establishment of the United
States.
The experiment did not prove al that
was expected OF it. The guard was a
success. II did things. 1t made Won
derful record in France. II made a
wonderful record here at home. 1t out
shot and out drilled the regulars. But
it was treated as a stepchild where II
should have been considered an equal.
The regular army officers. with rare
exceptions, were convinced that
nothing good could come out of the
militia And there is nothing harder
TO bret.k down than a prejudice.
Now, these state troops want to be
returned to their former status. II is
patriotic work that they are doing and
they ought to be permitted to do ii as
TO them seems best. 1t is entirely vol
untary service and if they do not wish
TO serve there Will simply be no militia.
Which again would be wonderful
showing in these days when almost
everybody is convinced of the value
and need of preparedness.

GETTING BuRIEsoR's PACK READY.

It now looks as tho the democrats
were ready to drop the issue of gov
ernment ownership. Burlesons quick
change of front indicates SO much.
With all that may be said of Burle-
son-and it would require days TO say
it all-Burleson appears in the light Of
the goat. There isn't much doubt That
he will have to go. Neither should there
be much doubt in the minds of those
who are familiar with the presidential
fashion OF commanding instead of con-
sulting cabinet officers that Burleson
has been doing very much as he has
ben told to do. Mr.. McAdoo, after tying
the transportation of the country into
hard knots wisely went his way to the
movies and big money. Burleson after
scrambling the wires into q mess
stayed on Ike the boy on the burning
deck which from his shutting seems
to have been growing hotter and
hotter. He will soon get leave to go
but he will carry the accusation that
ne had been playing with matches and
set the fire himself. No doubt he
scratched matches. But who handed
him the box?
Mr.. Mackay, Of the Postal Telegraph
punched a big hole in government
ownership and Burleson when ne pub
licly addressed Burleson with the
statement that II the Postal were
handed back to its legitimate owner
snip the company would reduce rates
on the Postal lines the full 20 per cent
increase tackled on by Burleson April
and do it within twenty-four hours.
incidentally he pointed out to the post
master general that this reduction
would save million month to those
! who pay telegraph rates.
Government ownership may not have
had fair chance. However It had a

LOCATING THE PERMANENT ROADS.

Jasper county is practically agreed
that it will build some miles OF per-
manent road but a row is on over the
location. One faction wants the road
to run between Newton and Monroe,
another wants il between ColfaX and
Newton. And so they are lighting
over il, according 10 reports from the
seat of war.
incidentally the row raised over To-
cations demonstrates Low valuable TO
a community a permanent road is con-
sidered, but rows rarely settle any
thing and often spill all the beans in
the pot. That's the danger OF real
row over the location of permanent
roadways.
Naturally each community wants the
road and il it is UP 10 date and alive
will try for it but it should be con-
test and not row. In the end if con-
Quoted in good temper and decently
the contest will probably locate the
read to the best advantage of the most
people and the road Will be built. II is
better to have ten miles of road built
in the county than none at all, even If
it doesn't run by our own farms and
into our own villages. There's anoth
er year and more road comm.
Counties looking toward road i'm
provement and persons interested in
better roads should foreclose on the
danger that an actual row may defeat
the main purpose OF making the road.
The stretch of permanent road is the
first thing to be considered, next the
location. When the location is fin
ally settled then turn in an build 1t
and next year build another and few
years hence when we have d system Of
decent roads available TO all parts of
the county congratulate ourselves that
we went about this important move
ment toward a greater prosperity and
comfort in Iowa with good temper
good sense and in a broad and sys-
tematic fashion.
Contest the locations but don't fight
over them.
