MEMORIALS FOR
NiOUNDEDlOWANS
Soldiers who Bear the Scars
of Wal. are to be Civ
en- Honor Certifi-
Gates.
FOR THE DEAD, ALSO
Will be Sent to Those En-.
titled to Them Without
Application.

AS a mOmento Of their service with
the American army, all Iowa soldiers
who were wounded in the world war
are to be given memorial certificate
by the war department, and the nearest
relative of all Iowa soldiers who died
III the service will be similarly honor
ed with certificate, Secretary Of War
Baker has just announced.
The memorials will bear the
facsimile Of the signature of President
Wilson and will be appropriately word
ed to describe the action in which the
Hawkeye heroes were wounded or
where they made the great sacrifice for
their country. All officers, enlisted
men, field clerks and other members
Of the authorized military establish
ment will be included, whether their
wounds or death occurred in this coun-
try or abroad.
Where it appears that the person
entitled to a wound certificate has died
since discharge from the service, the
certificate will be issued TO the next
of kin. In all other cases, the memorial
will be mailed direct to the former sol
der in muilabe tubes so the certificate
can be framed or otherwise preserved.
Secretary Bakers announcement
said that no application for the memoir
ial is necessary or required. Cor
respondence with reference to the date
the memorial may be expected is also
discouraged. Owing to delays in secur
ing suitable paper and to the amount
Of work involved in preparing the ccrti-
ficates, it will be well toward the end
of the present year before the last of
the certificates will be ready for mail
ing. The wound certificates will be
first to be prepared and dispatched to-
persons who are entitled to them.
The paper for the death memorials has
not yet been received and their issu-
ance will be ma terially delayed.
The adjutant general Of the army
is to engross each certificate, and mail
them to each person entitled to the
memorial. There are approximately
47.949 men killed and 221,O59 men
wounded in the war.

Sorrows of Emma Goldman & Co.

John \. Gadc in the Worlds Work :
1t was Krassin who thought he could
make use of the American bolsheviki
when the first shipload of them arrived.
In this he was soon disillusiOned. Al
ter putting eighty of the likeliest to
work he found them unwilling to do as
they were ordered, chatting under the
strict discipline and grumbling at the
conditions imposed. Leninc made the
delicious remark that America ought
to realize that she cannot employ Rus;
STA as dumping ground for her anar
chiSts." Some of the doctrines of the
returned prodigals evidently did not
correspond to those now in vogue in the
land Of their birth.

Auto Prices Stay Up.

Everywhere people are beginning to
discover that automobile prices are not
apt to come down this fall. Manufac-
turers as whole, are opposed to ad-
yancing the price of their cars beyond
present figures. However, because OF
fundamental conditions the tendency is
very definitely toward even higher
prices. While the success of the in
dividual automobile concerns depends
in part on big production ut moderate
prices, this is not true today because OF
other factors beyond the control of any
one manufacturer. Good cars of dis
tinction and reliability, that can be
operated economically, continue to be
in demand far beyond the ability OF the
to produce. Practically
dealers all over the United States have
far more orders for closed cars than
they can possibly fill. The same situa-
ton will develop this fall that develop
ed last spring. Those who wait, hoping
for price drop, will be caught short
and will be unable to get delivery on
their car. This applies particularly to
closed cars as well as rOadsters, which
are far behind in production. The
world can absorb about a million closed
ears il only the manufacturers were
i'm position to supply them. Dealers
who are conscientious III
the care of their customers are recon-
immediate purchase of car
in order to avoid delay and disappoint-
ment in the early fall months.

Ames, Iowa, July TO- (SpeciaD.-
Newspaper publishers of Iowa Will In
the next few months 60 into the bust
ness of buying their own news print
paper in an effort to cut the prevailing
cost of paper in half.
This action was taken yesterday by
the editors and publishers attending
the fourth annual country newspaper
short course, conducted by the depart
ment of agricultural journalism at
Iowa State college. They took pre-
liminary steps for the formation Of a
corporation to be known as the Iowa
Press Cooperative association which
will be capitalized at $4,000.
The Plan.
The plan for the association was
presented by G. L. Caswell, field secre-
tary Of the Iowa Press association. Be-
side the capital stock, which it is
planned to hold intact editors who
purchase paper through the association
will deposit certified checks in their
local banks to cover the cost of the
paper that they order. The capital and
certified checks will furnish the rep
rescntative of the association with
capital with which to purchase paper
direct from the mills.
The association will become opera
tive when half of the 200 shares Of
stock have been sold. At yesterdays
meeting practically every one of the
80 editors and publishers present sign
ed for shares and a large number Of
others have indicated that they would
become stockholders.
Cost Threatens Papers.
The high cost of print paper has
seriously threatened many Iowa pa pers.
Publishers have had to pay anywhere
from 10 to Is cents a pound for paper
that cost or 3 cents, or less, only Il
few years ago. The mill price Of paper
is at the present time only about to 6
cents.
Paper will be bought by the assOci-
alton in carload lots and shipped
direct from the mills to distributing
points in the state. From here 1t will
be forwarded to the Individual pur-
chasers. Iowa 1t Is thought, is the
first state in the country to take steps
in this new phase Of cooperation.
The country newspaper short course
which started yesterday is continuing
today with about 100 editors and pub
fishers in attendance.
