IOWA SAFELY UNDERSTANDING THE
SHACK OF FALLING PRICES.

WV n hANDAt'N AANN
SHOCK OF FALLING PRICES.
Iowa is Dre-eminently an agricu1tur-
al state. Its fertile soil is not sur
passed anywhere. Were that net SO,
the enormous shrinkage in the value
Of farm products during the past few
months would have caused wide
spread financial disaster. In brief
period the products Of our farms have
deprecated in value from 100 to 800
per cent; yet, Notwithstanding this,
the farmers and business men OF the
state are passing through this unpar-
alleled period Of shrinking prices with
out serious difficulty.
II is the belief Of very many that
the bottom has been reached and that
better times may reasonably be ex-
pected in the near future. Let every
one hope that this may be SO. There
can be no bright colored rainbow
without cloud. The clouds OF low
prices are here but they can not re-
main always They will be followed
sooner or later by rainbows and clear
ing skies.

We have now learned that the Christian reli-
gion is dominant on about one-third of the earth,
and exerts helpful influence over but trifle
more than one-third of the people of the world
Now let us draw line around all the Chris
tian nations and ask ourselves what the circle en-
closes. Who can say that it does not enclose
about all of humanity that amounts to anything?
Within this Christian nation circle do we not
find practically all of the advancements that have
been made by the human race during the last
1000 years?
Why have the more than billion human
beings in non-C Christian lands remained SO much
like the birds that build their nests today the
same as they built them in Noah's Ark? Can
anyone think of any reason why this is SO, other
than the fact that they are outside OF the zone
of Christian influences?
May we not hope that all of our fellow voy-
ayers have learned this lesson:
The Christian religion helps humanity to
continually improve upon previous conditions
Without its helpful influence all human endeavors
for better conditions are like waves upon the
ocean that rise and fall but never attain high
er general level

GERMANY IS DIVIDED
BY NEW REVOLUTION

Reports regarding the Whereabouts
OF President Ebert and Noske wor0
conflicting. There has been no con-
firmation Of advices late Saturday
that they have been arrested.
In some quarters II was said that
Noske is raising military force to
act against the revolution. The de-
cision OF railway workers to Join the
general strike movement came, il
was said. after Won Kapp had refused
TO accede to the unions ultimatum
that he resign.
There were other Indications that
socialists Of the Ebert group have not
abandoned hope Of unscating the
revolutionists Functienaries OF the
union OF social employees. 1t was re-
ported. have refused to acknowiedge
Won kapp. and have announced they
will act in concert with the railway
workers.
Secretaries of state. 1t was under
stood. have decided unanimously to
remain In Berlin to expedite current
business, but have refused to have
any relations with fhe revolutionary
government Other reports said the
governor OF East Prussia has issued
manifesto recognizing the revolu-
tionary de facto government. Some
South German regiments have gone
over to the revolutionists. 1t was said.
Won Kapp has issued a statement
declaring that the revolutionary
agreement will carry out the promise
of the Ebert regime to try the war
guilty accused by the allies. The
trials, Won Kapp said. win be held at
Leipsig,' ms the Ebert government
had planned.

coalition OF parties to form a new
revolutionary government.
The general strike called by Presi
dent Ebert and Gustav Noske, his
minister of war. before they left Ber-
lin Saturday. was largely effective
here today. Trains had stopped run
ming. the water supply was cut off in
many districts, restaurants were
closed and suffering beginning to be
acute. particularly among the poorer
classes.
In some quarters there was a dis
position to believe the revolution
might be short lived. The effective
ness of the general strike was be-
lived by many TO show that Kapp
has not the support of the majority
of the people.
