PLIGHT OF EUR0PE'S
CHILDREN STAGGERS
100000 Facing Starvation Can
Only Be Saved by Americas
Response to Joint Appeal.

It is utterly impossible for one who
has not actually seen the misery Of
the early Autumn In Europe to visual
ize what the children of the Eastern
and Central portions OF the continent
face this winter. To say that $500, 900
children have no alternative to starva-
tion or death from disease except
American aid, is startling, but independ-
ent observers by the score and care
,ful scientific surveys Of the economic
md crop conditions overseas brand
the figure as conservative.
In Poland. for instance, wlere 1,SO8.-
900 youngsters last year subsisted al
most entirely OH tile one free Ameri-
can meal day that they received. con-
ditions as winter closes down. are
worse than ever before. The Bolshe-
vik invasion stripped large portions Of
the country Of all grain. Professor
z. D. Durand. Food Advisor to the
Polish government, after an exhaustive
survey, has reported that Only forty
per cent is available of the food neces-
sary to carry the population through
the winter.
In the city of Vienna tests conducted
In the Anne rican Relief Administration
food kitchens showed that 81 per cent
Of the children between the ages of 6
and IA were seriously under-nourish-
ed" Thirty-three per cent were mark
I edly under-nour;shed, II per cent Were
slightly subnormal and only per cent
approached the state of q normal
American child. The Ameri IA Relief
Administration Is feeding 100000
Austrian children every day now, and
there is no chance OF dimuniti0n of
need before mex harvest.

OF Europe's children Is equally ap-
palling. Estimates reaching the Amer

-IOWA'S PART AT THE ANNUAL.
CONVENTION OF THE AMERICAN
FARM BUREAU FEDERATION.

The Iowa Farm Bureau Federation
had six voting delegates at the Ameri-
can Farm Bureau Federation annual
convention which was held in Ind
annapolis, December 9Th, 7th and 9Th.
This was one Of the largest delegations
that any State had present. due to
the fact that Iowa has more Farm
Bureau members than any other State
in the Uuion. The delegates as elected
at the last annual convention who rep
resented the Iowa Federation We're:
C. H. Hunt, Logan. Iowa: E. H. Cum
ningham, Ames, Iowa; Isaac White,
Abba, Iowa: Ray Redfern, Yarmouth,
Iowa; o. H. Martin, Spencer. Iowa,
and ]. 2. Palmer. Ames, Iowa.
Mr.. e. II. Cunningham, Secretary Of
the Iowa Farm Bureau Federation,
was made chairman OF the resolutions
committee, and the work OF this COM
mittee was the one largest task that
was performed at the convention since
the resolutions as adopted crystali-
zed the sentiment OF the delegates
which attended this convention rep
resenting thirty-seven State Fedora
tions and membership Of practically
one million farmers. So carefully did
the resolutions committee perform its
task, handling some two hundred
seventy seperata resolutions submitted
to 1t, that there was not dissenting
vote when they were adopted.
After commencing the work Of the
Officers in charge. the resolutions COM
inittee submitted thirty distinct resOlu-
tions which deal with the vital ques-
tions affecting the farm interest to-
day Previous to these resolutions
three were sent to Congress then in
session by the convention first, the
taking OF steps to bring about pro-
lection OF farmers financial interests
by the Federal Reserve Bank by ex-l
tending and renewing farmers obli-
cations; second, urging the enactment
of tariff relation to protect American
commodities: and third, providing for
the opening Of foreign markets to
American agricultural products. An-
other resolution was sent to the Fed
,eral Trade Commission urging the in
vestigation OF practices by the United
States Steel Corporation and like
concerns in maintaining of the So
called "Pittsburg Plus Schedule,
which permits Of q cost charge based
on fictitious freight cost restraining
the growth Of free competition which,
causes excessive prices on farm ma
chinery.
The first resolution adopted by the
convention dealt with the admission
of women to the membership and ask

of comercial loans to the Judgment
of the man who makes the loan?
IA. "a system must be worked out
wherby farm operations can be fur
nished for a long period.
15. "The solution will come when
the one-year lease is abolished as an
agricultural policy.
# 16. The forward looking people Of
the country are coming to recognize
more and more the absolute necessi-
ty of uniting the tenant farmer more
firmly with the interests Of the land
lord,
II. "The idea of Matchmaking
the land for the man who works it
might not be altogether impossible.
Is. "The program OF the Farm Bu-
reau Federation is one that contem-
plates intelligent study, not only of
the farmers problems on the farms,
but also the conditions that effect his
business adversely through present
day methods OF distribution.
19. The city people Of this coun-
try must be educated up to the point
of an intelligent understanding Of the
farmers side of the question, when
they will readily see that rank in
justice is being done to class who
are the necessary factors. in sustain
ing human life.
20. when all elements that enter
into manufacturing. processing and
distributing the necessities of life are
once established in the minds Of the
consumer, he will turn his mind to
the problem of distribution, which is
his problem after all.
21. "The farmer does not have to
enable him to relax and forget him
self and his business.
%. Eve shall carry the facts as
they become established, to the people
of this land and with all the facts
before them they will be the Judge.
The farmer will not suffer in the
critical analysis they will give them.
for after all, the public is honest and
always throws its influence on the
side of justice"

MOVEMENT TOWARD BETTERMENI
OF LIVE STOCK SHIPPING.

3 / q ~ ! 59. 3 K
The Iowa Farm Bureau Federation
and the Federation Of Cooperative
Live Stock Shippers have formed a
cooperative working arrangement
whereby the Shipping Associations
are to receive the assistance and full
est support Of the strong organizations
now represented by the Iowa Farm
Bureau Feweration.
This is movement Of statewide
cooperative nature looking toward
the betterment OF shipping and market
ing of live stock. The American Farm
Bureau Federation will appoint COM
mittee of fifteen who will study the
question OF Live Stock marketing
from every angle with view OF not
only devising better shipping and haul
ing arrangements at local points, but
also the handling of live stock thru
cooperative commission companies.
Cooperative commission companies
now organized will be utilized and
others established at points not al
ready occupied. 1t is the plan to hand.
lie the farmers live stock on strict
ly cooperative basis. This is trem-
endous movement and every shipping
association will be asked to cooper
ate. The plan does not contemplate
taking over by the Farm Bureau Fed
Grafton the shipping associations. 1t
retains to the associations their iden-
tity. The cooperative arrangement is
carried out by a Joint committee of six
men, three having been selected by
each organization
Knute Espe of Ames, former presi-
dent Of the Shippers Association. has
been elected the Executive Secretary
and will have headquarters with the
Farm Bureau Federation, definite
working arrangement between them
having been made This arrangement
is right in line with the general idea
that there should be closer co-opera-
tion between all farm interests. The
shipping associations are enthusiastic
over the plan. 1t retains for them
their commidity organization while
assuring to them the whole strength
OF the Farm Bureau Federation COM
posed of one hundred twenty thous-
and members.

ROSS AND SNYDER
IN HARD BATTLE
sfese Two Me. VIII Fiss*t
It Out for T rst Base
on Wesleyan Team.

BUCKHANNoN. April 15.-"Jim-
mie' Snyder, the name of whom was
placed on the sporting records for all
time during the year of 1918 when
Clendennin High School won the State
Scholastic Championship in basket
ball, is one OF the big finds whom
West Virginia Wesleyan has found in
baseball. Snyder was carrying very
heavy work during the basketball sea-
son and never made bid for the bas-
ketbaii quint although he was highly
leuded as star of the first magnitude.
However, he has come out for baseball
and with his clean, fast fielding and
his consistently heavy hitting, he has
already proven to Coach Biggy Reeder
that he cannot be denied position
somewhere on the baseball nine.
Snyder is a right handed fielder and
batter. He can play either infield or
outfield but has had more experience
at shortstop and first base than a.
any other position. In Mondays prac.
tice game which was the first staged
this year, Reeder used Snyder on first
with the result that the youngster
played bang.up ball. X. Ross, how,
ever, held down the initial sack last
season with u good fielding average
and is again out for the berth this
year. Ross hitting last season was
his weak point. He ended the season
with average Of III. It looks like
a battle is on for first place.
