An Iowa farm sold for $500 an acre
the other day. II he had the.money to
pay for It he has q good home and
can keep 1t. There's good living in
an Iowa fam whatever happens to
prices.
What a. pity 1t Is that those poor
folk in CALIFORNIA and Florida cant
have the experience OF an Iowa fall
like the one we are enjoying.
@ 49,
with weather like this and GOOD
roads added an Iowa farm ought r,
be worth $1,000 an acre. Fact is that
the privilege would be inestimahle
and worth OF living in Iowa couldn't
be figured. There aren't figures
enough.
Iowa paid $4,000, 600 last year to-
ward the general hurrah the dem
ocrats have been having on tax
money. And at that she couldn't buy
all the automobiles she wanted be-
cause the factories failed to make
them fast enough.

Because q man has made a million
dollars isn't prima facia evidence
that he is fittest to rule. John D. beat
the record but who wants John for
president.

Some surprise is expressed that
candy prices should remain station
airy when sugar has dropped SO far.
But why the surprise?
Between the baseball scandal and
politics the big international race
won by an American horse failed to
attract notice. Yet a few years ago
such a match would have been ex-
cited common conversation in every
corner store and club.
The marines are getting some un-
enviable publicity thru the aceusa-

is well for the public to reserve final

A REPORT THAT IS 4 coNFEssIon

The Iowa taxpayer to the support
OF the national government should
set down $25 100000. Below it he
should put $5s3,00O. Then subtract.
The difference will be the difference
between what Iowa was paying when
the DEMOCRATS got control and what
iowa paid last year.
Louis Murphy, who has recently
resigned as internal revenue collector
Of government taxes for Iowa col
lected $5s3.oOo in his first year of
incumbency. That was seven years
ago. Last year Mr.. Murphy's office
collected $25.ooO,00O. When Mr.. MUIR
ply took charge Of the office the
force. inclusive Of himself, totaled
twelve persons. When he quit he had
100 people in the office and sixty
six men in the field work, total in.
elusive of himself of 1877 persons.
The figures are eloquent. The de-
mands Of a democrat government in
federal taxes upon Iowa are so times
greater than those made by the re-
publican administration it replaced
with those solemn pledges Of "econo-
my in government" Where IL per-
sons collected the federal taxes 1877
high salaried democrats are required.
It Is your money. How do you like
1t?
It was this money that wat DELHI
erately thrown to cost plus dontrac-
tors to scramble for; that was sunk
by millions in creating southern
ports that were never used; that was
wasted by billions on airplanes that
never got across and of which the
few that did get over were mere

HAS the buzzard any vocal pow

The worst thing about the buzzard
is his silence. The crow caws, the
hawk screams. the eagle barks. but
the buzzard says not a word SO far
ash have observed, he has no vocal
powers whatever. Nature dare not
trust him to speak. In his case she
preserves a discreet silence.

LITTLE AND BIG GAMBLERS,
farlnn Cnnrinr

Had it occurred to anybody that all
this baseball scandal had it's basis in
gambling and betting? 1t was quite
apart from legitimate baseball which
is real sport ana that feature alone
interests the great mass of fans. But
for betting there would have been no
thrown games for the obvious reason
that the inducements would have been
lacking. Men who can see only n
chance to make dollar out Of q
baseball game are not sports, they
are just gamblers and, happily. their
number is relatively small. Remem-
Der what horseracing was and is
now. Well. gambling and betting did
it.

An Irresistible Tide.


It Is evident to every observant
person that the price recession has
set In and that 1t must be accepted.
That some interests will be injured
temporarily Ii to be expected. That
can not be avoided. It is as useless
to attempt to bolster up prices under
these conditions by artificial means
as to sweep back the waves of the
ocean. Anything that can be done
within reason to ameliorate the sit
uation and minimize the losses ac-
companying the price reductions may
well be undertaken by the govern
ment, but to take any step with "a
view to, the maintenance OF war
prices in the necessaries of life is as
futile as 1t is unjustifiable. THE tide
OF burdensome living costj is begin
ming to ebb and human manipulation
can not stop it.-Washington Post.

IOWA OPINION AND NOTES.

"The farmer Is being badly p.nched
at this stage OF the reimbursement, hut
1t Is doubtful II there Is any class
better able to stand the pressure"
says the Muscatine Journal. '@Yet
such reflection will not ease the
farmers distress. Until the things he
buys drops to the level Of the price
OF those things he produces. he is
not going to be In the mood to gain
any comfort from whatever good for
tune he may have had in the past"
The Anamosa Eureka says that
''To defeat Mr.. Cunmins and put in
his place a time-worn politician who
has played all the strings Of the par
ty which made tho Esch- Cummins
bill an absolute necessity, would in
deed be striking piece Of inconsis-
tency. The voters of Iowa will not be
that short-sighted or foolish"
ITO the man who 'waxed exceeding
worth over our lack OF mention In
greater detail, the speech OF Con-
gresham Haugen, we would like to
have him recall the congressman's
anti-war speech which he circulated
so profusely after war was declared

The sneeze Club or show your
handkerchief club is found to be a
most ingenious and practical method
of preventing the spread Of the spray
borne diseases among children In
school. All members are very en-
thusiastic about it and in this school,
it is made part of the daily routine
to "show your handkerchief" each
morning. No exceptions are allow
ed and no excuses are accepted The
rule of catch your sneeze applies to
both teacher and pupils and seldom
now is a sneeze in this school un-
covered by Handkerchief.

At the special convention of the
Diocese of Easton held yesterday al
Trinity Church, Easton, an adjourn
ment was taken after sixteen ballots
had failed to bring about the cleo,
ton of a Bishop to succeed the late
Bishop Forbes Adams.
So far as could be learned at this
time the Rev. William Dunbar Gould
rector of Christ Protestant Episco'
pal, Cambridge was supported by
majority of the clergy and came
within five votes of getting MAORI
ty of the lay delegates. The senti'
ment among the delegates, both cler-
ical and lay, seemed to be that a
younger man was needed as Bishop
at this time. The convention is COM
posed of twenty-one clerical and
thirty-eight lay delegates.
Finding it impossible to elect al

ton an adjournment was taken until
