WH1TED sEPULCHREs.

Former President William H. Taft
is quoted as recently saying in refer
ence. to what he regards as ill advised
.emotionalism in connection with vice
crusades: "We shall not need to have
the phases of the lower world held up
to the public view when men hold up
their own souls for personal investi-
cation. The ex-president doubtless
had in mind the singing address of
the Gallilean Teacher when he said:
"Woe unto you, Scribes and Phari-
sees, hypocrites! for We are like unto
whited sepulchres, which indeed ap-
pear beautiful outward, but are with
.infull Of dead mems bones, and of all
uncleanliness." The former president
lis very fine lay preacher, and since
his retirement from the White House
he has said some very courageous,
sensible things applicable to both
politics and religion.

CHAUTAUQUA HEADLINERs
NAMED FOR SUMMER
ASEMRIY

Committee Receives Advance Infor-
nation on Program.
; The advance notice in regard to the
coming Chautauqua program just re-
eeived by the Committee whets the
appetite to know what the balance of
the program will be, as the standard
seems to be unusually high.
Among the big ones in the lecture
group are found the names of Elk.
Gov. Brumbaugh Of Pennsylvania, a
man with a national reputation as a
speaker; Congressman Royal C. john
son Of South Dakota, one of the lead
ers Of the House; and the famous
Bob Seeds; with Sudhindra Bose of
Calcutta, India, and the Indian Prin-
cess Neawanna in the "out-of-the-
ordinary" class.
Special musical features include the
Temple Choir featuring male quar-
tet, ladies' quartet, mixed quartet
and chorus in a program not usually
attempted by Chautauqua companies;

The FLOWERS.

The people are passing along the
street, carrying flowers, beautiful and
sweet, to deck the graves Of those
they love who have gone to rest. In
that land above doubt If they'll
know who placed them there or will
smell their fragrance that fill the air.
Little it will matter to them know
whether they be flowers of love or
show. But the meaning Of it all! So
beautiful, true! To remember and
honor our dead as we do. Especially
those who fought to save our coun-
try's flag from the clutch Of the
slave. And the sentiment most beau
tiful to behold. Strewing flowers on
the graves of the foe, if any there be
lying buried here. IT'S true that the
Gray meier forgets the Blue.
And the boys! Those brave boys in
khaki who fell to free the world from
Prussianism's hell!
Flowers and flowers let there be-,
Flowers and love for such as he!
Were all of the flowers blooming to-
day
Placed on his grave, 'twould be moth
ing to pay
In return for all that he did to save
Our country's flag. The sweetest for
his grave!
I honoring the dead, may we not
forget that there are living heroes
with us yet; soldiers in every walk Of
life, struggling to exist, to win in the
strife.
+, And for those whom we know are
carrying load, a flower of good
cheer may make smoother. the road
Give it! Just smile, a word now
and then may mean more than flow.

S. w. Ia. FARMERS LAG IN PRO.
DUCING THE FOODSTUFFS.

Farmers of this section of the state
will not be able to do their usual
share in producing food this year, ac-
cording to those in touch with the
situation. They will not raise as
much corn and grain, and will not
produce as much beef, because of the
labor shortage and because of the
dropping prices for farm products.
The shortage of farm laborers and
the uncertainty of prices for farm
products, will naturally decrease the
acres of corn for 1920. Many farm
ers are seeding down new fields with
out blowing up the normal amount Of
pasture and meadow lands.
There will be an increase in the
number Of young cattle pastured
throughout the season but unless con-
ditions change materially, very few
of these cattle will be put into the
feed yard this fall. One of the heavy
cattle feeders near Treynor stated
that on two carloads marketed last
week he lost $57 per head. Another
feeder stated that he had lost so per
cent Of his labor income for the year
on bunch of cattle.
Feeding records show us that to
put 100 pounds gain on cattle will
cost $50 to $35 the way corn and hay
has been selling the past few months,
according to Agent ]. H. Allison.
With fat cattle selling at $11 to $13
per hundred it is not difficult to see
where the cattle feeders are coming
out this year.
Farming differs from most other
lines of business on two very essen
tial points, turning money and set
ting the price on products, or we
might say, passing the buck"
| The farmer grows but one crop in a
year which makes it possible for him
to turn his money every thirty to
ninety days. He is growing crops to-
day that will cost him more than any
crop he has ever grown in his life, yet
in the face of it, he is assured on anil
sides that the prices if food priducts
must come down.
| Manufacturers, merchants and in
fact, ALL lines of business, outside Of
farming, have the privilege of includ-
ing in the selling price, the cost or
costs Of production plus a profit. The
farmer takes his products to market
and asks what he is to receive for
same. In other words, he has no
chance to "pass the buck" on to the
consumer or purchaser.

RED CROSS WORK IN PUBLIC
SCHOOLS.
Report of Miss Morris, County Nurse.

Nellie R. Morris,
Red Cross Nurse. Harrison Co., Iowa.
The above report confronts us with
the fact that over one-half of the
school children of Mo. Valley are un-
der weight for their age and height.
In general, weight for height is a
reliable index of a child's nutrition
and it is pretty generally agreed that
children between the ages of 5 and 10
who are 10 per cent or more below
the normal average for height and
age should be considered undernour-
ished. Such children will usually, on
closed examination, show other evil
dences Of being physically below par.
In one grade in the First Ward, 12,
Of the "a examined, were 10 per cent
under weight and 2 of these were 20
per cent below normal. Some of these
are probably mal-nourished because
Of physical defects, enlarged tonsils,
adenoids or badly decayed teeth, but
many are due to errors in diet, bad
food habits, the use of tea and coffee
and the absence of milk in the diet.
The value Of milk in the diet Of the
young is due, not only to the fact that
it contains large number Of nour-
fishing substances in forms in which
they can be easily assimilated, but
also to the fact that in some way not
now fully understood, it, seems to pro-
mote growth and to help the body of
the child to make good use Of other
foods. Milk is exceptionally rich in
lime and it is practically impossible
to make up diet containing enough
lime for growing child without US
ing it generously.
Vegetables and fruits are now con-
sidered a necessary part Of the diet
of the child. The reasons are many,
but most of them may be summed up
by saying that they furnish material
needed to form bone and tissue and
to regulate body processes.
The lack of these three important
articles of food, is also responsible
for the large number of defective
teeth among the school Children
News.

ford Pinchot.
The above by Mr.. Pinchot is very
true, and should be subject for sobe,
and continued thought by everybody
in America. This paper has pointed
all that out before, in order to do its
part toward setting the people tt
thinking.
Mr. Pinchot, a Republican and a
the head of the government forestr..
service for years, is we'll calculated tt
know what he is talking about. We
agree as to his diagnosis of the dis
ease, but do not agree with him as to
the medicine needed to cure the pa.
tient. He goes on to explain that a
new political party is the proper and
only remedy, while we are of the
opinion that new political party, es-
pecially at this time, on the eve of a
presidential election, would not get to
first base.
The people of every party and all
parties should brush aside lot of
bowling dervishes in the shape of
professional politicians, and take
charge Of their own political organ
izations in every state and in every
locality. This will accomplish much
more, at this particular time, than the
organization Of new party. There
is such thing as good political
sense as we'll as good common sense
and right now is fine time to get il
out and use it.

THEIR GOOD NIGHT MESSAGE

One of our local citizens tells this
story, and he says it happened at a
very prominent home: 1t occurrd in
the evening. I and several others
We're calling. AS we chatted in the
parlor we heard the patter of little
feet at the head Of the stairs above.
The mother of this particular home
raised her hand for silence. Flush!
The children are going to deliver
their good night message" she said
softly. cit always gives me a feeling
Of reverence to hear them They are
so much nearer the Creator than we
are, and they speak the love that is
in their hearts never so fully as when
the dark has come. Listen" Then
there was a moment of tense silence.
Then, Mamma" came the message
from above "Willie found bedbug!"
