FOR BOYS AND GIRLS.
Farm Bureau Launches Project With
Boys and Girls.

In small way the Farm Bureau
has conducted work with boys and
girls during the past year and has
carried on an educational campaign
this spring launching the project in
much larger way. We have secur-
ed the services of Mr.. S. E. Clink, a
young man from Orleans township
during the summer months.
Mr.. Clink entered upon these
duties last week. Judging from tie
number of inquiries received and
general interest manifested through
out the county, this project promises
to be a mighty good one. Mr.. Clink
has visited some schools which are
still in session for the purpose OF
explaining club work. Names of boys
and girls outside of schools have
also been submitted
The clubs which will be undertak-
en- this year are: Market Pig; Pure
Lred Gilt; Grade Dairy Calf; Pure
bred Beef Heifer and Corn Clubs.
The boys and girls will enter any
one or more of the clubs in which
they are interested. They will pro-
cure young pig or calf for the
club of their choice or they will care
for and keep records on a field of
corn If they choose the corn club.
Any boy or girl between the ages
of ten and nineteen are eligible to
these clubs. Applications must BE
made to the Farm Bureau Office for
complete regulations on any club.
Local units or clubs will be formed
in any community where five or more
are interested in any one club. Be-
sides furnishing a definite piece of
work for which these young boys
aid girls are responsible, these clubs
will also provide special training
along many other lines adaptable to
a club of young people. Any boy or
girl directly interested in this work
should write the Farm Bureau or
communicate with S. E. Clink, Club
Leader. DEBORAH, Iowa.

AS to whether or not the "Macs''

by striking out the next three bat
tiers when the bases were filled. The
Luther sluggers succeeded in finding
L. Anderson, the Macalsaster mound
artist right off the bat, getting two
hits the first inning and scoring
twice. With three men on bases and
two men out in the fourth inning,
Arne Sorlein brought in three runs
by polling a three Dagger. He re.
ceived perfect support whenever he
needed it.
Luther used the same lineup rs

WHAT HAVNER STANDS FOR.
political Advertisement

H. NJ. Havner, candidate for the
republican nomination for governor
at the June primaries, solicits your
support upon a definite platform in
which he declares his position upon
important issues before the people of
Iowa today. One of his most empha-
sized planks is his fight for the en-
actment of law in Iowa which Will
provide for court of industrial re-
lations to settle disputes between
capital and labor through legal and
orderly means, rather than by
strikes and lockouts.
Strikes and lockouts have cost
every citizen of Iowa money during
the past year. The coal strike and
the present railway troubles have
prevented the farmers from market
ing their live stock and grain, and
are in part responsible for the pres
ent shortage of cars. Strikes and
lockouts have thrown thousands OF
lowans out of work in recent months
against their will, and have caused
Inconvenience and suffering TO the
public, which has not been repre-
sented in the settlement of these dis
putes.
Hayner is making a square fight
to adopt new principle in the ad-
Justment of these questions. If you
believe that labor troubles should
be settled by compulsory arbitration
before strike is called, rather than
through first calling a strike and
later arbitrating it, he is your man.
he stands also for law enforcement
business methods in state admins
tration, and a cleaning out of the
machine which controlled Iowa pub
lie affairs for the past two years. He
favors enactment of soldier bonus
legislation granting Iowa fighters as
liberal treatment as that extended by
any state to their service men. He is
native Iowan, who was born and
raised as a farmer, who worked as a
farm laborer in his youth, and who
is the owner of several farm proper
ties today operated under his person
al direction. He is a graduate of
Simpson college at the state uniyer.
sity OF Iowa, veteran of the Span
lsh-American war and has made a
substantial success in his own bust
ness. He has bitter opposition from
those who have suffered through his
enforcement of the laws, and is
fought by political ringsters every
where because he is not a cog in
any machine, and will not be under
obligations to any political clique if
elected. He is not asking for your
vote because he is a good fellow,
fine orator. a politician, or a repre-
sentative of special interests. lie pre-.
sents definite platform, and asks
for your active support if he stands
for the things in government in
which you believe.

RELIEF FOR GAS
PLANTS IS SEEN
|. c. c. Expected To
Grant Coal Shipments
Priority

Manager J. f. Johnson, of the
Americas Lighting Company today
received word that quick relief to
gas, eletcric light and power COM
Danies from the present serious inter
rlption in their coal supply as the
result of the nationwide traffic jam,
would no doubt be given by the In
terstate Commerce Commission
through an order granting priority Of
shipment for coal.
Oscar H. Fogg, acting secretary
of the national committee on gas
and electric service, was quoted as
saving that the commission would
probably act since its attention had
been called to the fact that unless
relief is speedily granted to public
utilities as regards a steady flow OF
coal, nothing can avert a shutdown
of these plants and cessation of
service in localities vince the most
acute conditions now prevail.
IF the situation does not i'm
prove" said Mr.. Fogg, 1.-The living
conditions of approximately forty
five million people who are served by
gas companies throughout the United
States may soon be affected. Not
only are the immediate consequences
of the gravest concern, but COM
panies find it impossible to secure
the fuel necessary to operate un Ter
present conditions and ave utterly
unable to accumulate reserve stocks.
Gas plants in some sections of the
country have been down TO the dan
ger line several times during the past
two weeks and are struggling along
from day to day, hoping for coal to
come through. The effect of even a
temporary interruption of such an
essential service as gas supply would
work irreparable injury to the pub
lie"
Just now we are in better posi-
ton in Americas thaa we have been
for some time said Mr.. Johnson
yesterday q was able a few days
ago to buy five cars of gas coal,
which are not far from Americas
and can be had on short notice. This
win put us safe, so far as gas is con
cerned. for sixty days and by that
