Financial support of Iowa's farmers

At the present time, according to the
banking commissioner, all of the mon
ey the country banks have loaned out
has gone to the farmers. The eountry
banks have got. practically all of their
funds from the city banks and from
the federal reserve, and Mr. Hender-
sons estimate is that IS per cent of the
money the city banks have loaned dur
ing the past three Or four months has
gone to the smaller banks. who, in turn
have loaned it tosthe farmers. In his
estimation a farmer who makes rea-
sonable demand will not be refused.
Opinions of the officials and bankers
gathered in Chicago, according to Mr..
Henderson. are that the present month
is the most critical one the country has
faced financially in years, but that at
the end of thirty days, there should be
q decided easement. These opinions
are based on the fact that pork is now
bringing fairly high price and that
hogs are beginning to be shipped.
Cattle. however, Mr.. Henderson says,
are not bringing as high prices as they
should. but with the general movement
of the livestock shipments of cattle are
also looked for. Practically no ship.

door locked, drew forth her latchkey
with as much vengeance as an angry
warrior drawing his sword from its
scabbard.

muttered angrily, as she switched on
the kitchen light. "This is very
strange" She stopped suddenly and
threw up her hands in dismay.
What a sight greeted her Dishes

china filled the sink. Mrs. Bobs
breathed a wrathful sigh as she sud.
denly thought Of Bobs' last letter to
her.
Getting to be regular house
keeper" he had written, "stay at
home every night never go
out hope yol are having
good time -. ;"
''Good time, indeed!' shifted Mrs.
Bobs. fairly bristling with indigna-
ton. as she strutted into the dining
room. Here another sight confronted
her and she looked about the room In
CONSERVATION. Newspapers were
strewn everywhere.
So perturbed was her state Of mind
that Mrs. Bobs forgot her reason for
coming home. After moment of re-
Election, however, she decided that
things looked very serious, for the all
Important fact stood out clearly: she
had returned home unexpectedly and
Bobs was not to be found. Consider
ing that his letters stated very en-
phatlcally that all his evenings were
spent at home things looked very
suspicious.
In spite Of this she tried to take an
optimistic view Of the situation. as she
sat gingerly on the edge OF a dusty
chair. After all, she unused, she had
been foolish to spoil her hard-earned
vacation just because that horrid Mrs.
Hastings had insinuated such mean
things. Women could be so catty
when talking about other women's
husbands. Perhaps at this very min
ute Bobs was enjoying quiet evening
with mother. She darted for the teie-
phone with confident smile.
When mothers surprised voice told
her that Bobs had not been over that
evening, and in the same breath want
ed to know the reason for the unex-
pected return to the city. Mrs. Bobs
found ready excuse In sweetest OF
voices, but she hung up the receiver
with vehemence, as suspicion began
to take root again.
Distrust came to stay as Mrs. Bobs
with anger cleaning in her eyes
turned off the lights and sat In the
shadow Of the cnrtained window to
await the vagabond's return.
AS the hall clock dolefully chimed
the hour of one, in imagination she
arrived at the conclusion Of the d.
vorce trial.
When at / 80 there was still no
sign Of the truant husband, Mrs. Bobs
finally dragged herself up the stairs
and opened the bedroom door with
heavy heart. Mechanically she turned
on the light and looked about the
room with a choking sigh, which was
followed by an outburst OF unre-
strained weeping. However. when her
eyes rested upon the bed astonish-
ment overcame her grief. and she
stared fascinated. Fully dressed, ex-
cept for collar and tie, with shoes on
white coverlet. lay Mr.. Bobs peace
fully sleeping.

Two Virginia Men Seeking Honor
Hope to Break Solid South.

CHICAGO, June "a novelty at the
convention is the existence of two flourish
ing vice presidential booms. Both candi-
dates for the vice presidency hail from
Virginia, Colonel Henry w. Anderson of
Richmond and Samuel Adams of Green
wood. No aspiration il advanced by either
for the first place. The vice presidency is
the goal and every effort is being made
by the two campaign managers to create
sufficient sentiment among the delegates
to make possible reaching that goal. The
candidacy of Mr.. Adams and that OF Colonel
Anderson are being boosted with the very
definite purpose of breaking up the Solid
South" by the selection of a Southerner
as the running mate CT the c. O. p stand

candidate has so far ventured to summa

progress made, and appear as optimistic
as any of the contenders after the first

CONTRACT LABOR PROBLEMS.
Only Three Importers Were Prosecuted
Last Year.

The number OF contract labor cases
which came to the attention of the Uni
ted States Bureau of immigration during
the year of 1919 was unusually large, but
they were OF such nature that legal pro-
ceedings against importers were instituted
IN only three cases. Investigations OF
many reported or suspected violations
were made by the bureau, and sixty-nlne
aliens who were found to have entered
the country in violation of the contract
labor clause were deported, as compared
With thrty.tnce during the year 1918
During tic year ia alien contract la
borers arriving at United States ports
were denied admission as compared with
Ala in 1918
The bureau says that it has always been
possible under the law to import skilled
laborers, provided unemployed laborers of
like kind could not be found in this
country, but the immigration act of 1917
gees step further and provides that the
necessity for importing such labor may
be determined by the secretary of labor
before importation is made The law
stipulates that permission to bring in
laborers under this provision may be
granted only after hearing and investi-

Canada for seasonable work Formerly

Many suits were instigated against i'm
porters, but convictions were infrequen
and the pratice persisted Under the new
law, however, some employers who prac

results have been satisfactory, the bureau
says, although a more general obser

often the blame is placed upon tn
