Winneshiek Gives Well

The people of Iowa have contribut-
ed nearly 100000 during the year
ending June 80, 1921, to the work
of Near East Relief. The above
amount represents nearly 100000
in cash and pledges, $65,000 worth
of corn food products which resulted
from the corn contributed by the
Iowa farmers. These corn food
products, corn -four and hominy
grits were shipped to Constantinople
by S. S. Hatchett from New Orleans.
In the list of 80 counties in the
state Winneshiek stands nearly at
the top, coming third in the amount
of subscriptions, total Of SS,775.S7.

SEASONS CROP IN /
IOWA WILL Be Big
Estimated Field Crops in State For
1921 Worth Half Billion. Hay
Crop Little Under
Last Year.
CORN YIELD ABOVE
FIVE YEAR AVERAGE
Acreage Cut Somewhat Under That
Of Last Year-Condition of
Corn July l Placed at
100 Per Cent.

les MONIES, lOWa-GOVernment
crop reports issued July 1 on the
crop prospects for the state and ma
ton indicate that Iowa is producing
foodstuffs this year with all her old
time vigor and even at present low
prices the indications are that the
field crops will be worth around a
half a billion dollars this season.
In fact the total value of the crops,
according to present indications, will
be as much as in any one year of the
pre- war period, or of either of the
first two years of the struggle over
seas, 1914 or 1915.
The total yield of corn this year is
estimated at 442,OO0,OOO bushels as
compared with a total yield of 49,
100000 bushels last year and 36S,000
900 as the five year average. &
The farm price per bushel July /
is given by the government figures
at 45 cents per bushel. This would
make the total value of the corn crop
S19S,918,000 this year. Last years
crop, figured at AZ cents per bushel
on December 1, was estimated to be
worth $22 100000.
Corn Crop July Is 100 Per Cent
The condition of the Iowa corn
crop on July this year is ahead of
year ago, it being placed at 100 per
cent as compared with SO per cent
on July l last year, and SO per cent
for the five year average on July /.
The acreage this year is only
slightly under the. of 3 year ago,
being 10,197, 900 as compared with
10,300,000 last year.
There is, of course, a big chance
yet for a change in the corn crop,
and it may equal last years yield or
go less, but the prospects are unus-
ually good. The price per bushel
when the crop is ready for market is
also an uncertain quantity.
Oats Above Five Year Average
According to present indications
and figures at h-nd the Iowa oats
crop will be around 209 100000 BUSH
els, as compared with 229,OO0,0O0
bushels last year, and 216,00O,00 for
the five year average from 1915 to
1919 inclusive. It's value is now esti-
mated at 27 cents per bushel on the
farm, or S56,000,000, being practical
ly the same as in 1912 and again in
1913.
Wheat Crop Close to Normal
The crop of winter wheat and
spring wheat is close to the normal,
the winter wheat crop being estimat-
ed at $4,000 bushels, as compared
with 6,491,000 harvested last year.
The spring wheat crop is figured at
4,536,000 bushels, compared with
100000 last year. The government
gives the average farm price as $1.06
per bushel. At this price the crop of
winter and spring wheat would be
worth S14,255,000.
Only the important grain crops are
given in the general July l estimate.
The monthly crop report for Iowa
is prepared by Frank S. Pinney, agri-
cultural statistician for the govern
ment in this state, in cooperation
with Charles d. Reed, director of the
Iowa weather and crop service.

 "Foot1ights," a Paramount picture starring Elsie Ferguson, coming to the Park theatre on Thursday next, this development Is shown step by step.
 Lizzie Parsons. the American girl, as played by Elsie Ferguson, took two years of complete isolation and hard study to accomplish this feat. Her entire life had to be changed. She had to surround herself with Rus sian servants and teachers. Instead of simple American food, she had to acquire 8 taste for herrings. For coffee, she learned to drink tea, mix ed with lemon and whisky, without sugar. and she had to replace her af- ter-dinner apple with cigarettes. The hardest sacrifice that she had to make was when her little kitten was taken away as being too American and she WAS given a monkey, an animal that she loathed, to make a pet of. But Lizzie Parsons succeeds, as only an American girr can succeed, in the transformation. Her sham ia not | discovered even by Russians. Elsie | Ferguson who ts starring in the pic l tu1,e brings to the role a keen in- 1 depreciation. Reginald Denny Is leading man and others in the cast include Marc MacDermott, and Oc- | tavia Handworth.

Do Men Want?" is the title of the picture but men seeking an answer made up 8 large portion of the au- diences at the Empire this week. How to hold a drifting husband. and how wife can be perfectly innocent in spite of most discriminating cir cumstances are other features of this many-sided drama of the hunt for happiness. What Do Men Want7" embodies a story that thrills and striking manner the things that pro- mote real understanding between mon and women. It bares to men their own faults, and supplies wives, moth CTS and sweethearts with knowledge that makes for contentment. A rich vein of comedy relieves the tension of the succession of thrills which go to make up the main story: "A Boy, A Bear and A Dog,'' a kid story of unusual merit, is an added feature.

What comes before the big scene and that which follows it is sufficient ly gripping and staged in such a manner as to make the production a notable one. but the conclusion of the court room scene carries the story to a dramatic height that makes it an extraordinary production.

NATIONAL MEETING
OF COUNTY AGENTS
Utah Man Is Only Representative
from Far Western States
at Convention.

Mr.. Robert Wrigley, county agent
for Cache county, has recently re-
turned from the national convention
of County Agents at Chicago. Mr..
Wrigley was sent to the convention
by the Extension Division of the Utah
Agricultural College and the State
Association of County Agents. He
was the only representative at the
convention who came from state as
far west as Utah, which fact gave him
a marked distinction while there.
Mr.. Wrigley was strikingly i'm
pressed with the splendid financial
condition of the farm bureaus in the
Middle West. IN Utah, county. is
thought to be extravagant when it
employs a college graduate for county
agent. In the Middle West very lit
tie attention is paid to the price,
county agents often receiving a salary
of $4,000. The convention recon-
mended that county agents be College
graduates and in addition they shoald
have as prerequisite at least five years
of successful experience in some line
of work to show that thcy have the
elements of success in them. A high
code of ethics is necessary to prevent
the county agent from fayoring any
particular individual or business ca
terprises. In order 20 procure men
with the proper ethics, education and
experience for county agents, the sal
aries should be very liberal. Similar
liberalness is shown the farmers who
are connected with the farm bureau
work. In Utah the officers of the
farm bureaus do the work free OF
charge, but in the prosperous agri
cultural states of the Middle West
the first days work is given free, but
after that ten dollars a day is received
MIR, Wrigley also had occasion Il
see the progress that is being made ii
the big agricultural states such a!
Iowa, Illinois, Wisconsin, Nebraska
and Ohio. He had better chance Il
study the methods of supervising ag
riculture in these regions than woult
be obtainable any where else. He at
tended the national live stock SHOW
and after seeing the condition Of liv
stock there he comes back to us will
the firm resolve to bring better liv
stock into Utah and then by means o
better breeding and feeding to pro
duce class of product that is of
much higher standard than has eve
been approached in Utah before.

HAS TO GIVE UP
Health Was So Bad He Couldn't
Work -Tanlac Puts Him
Back On His Feet

"My health got so bad 7 had to give
up my trade, but since taking Tanlac
| have gained twelve pounds in weight
and have not felt better in years."
said Samuel H. johnson, a well-known
painter living at Oregon City, Ore.
"For the past seven years my stom-
ach and kidneys were all out of order
and often l was so bad off had to
stay in bed three and four days at a
time. My appetite was about gone
and sometimes went for several days
without touching a bite. My stomach
was so upset that often / wasn't able

less anything solid. l would bloat up
with gas and my heart would palpi-
tate so terribly l became alarmed for
fear / had heart trouble.
Every few days had awful sick
headaches and most of the time there
was a mean taste in my mouth. My
kidneys worried me constantly and ]
had a severe pain in my back that
kept me awake many a night. My
complexion turned as yellow as a
pumpkin and finally got so bad off
/ couldn't do any hard work and had
to give up my trade as a painter.
"That was the condition was in al
the time l got hold of Tanlac. Ny

finest kind of appetite, and it make:
no difference what eat l can digest
it without any trouble at all. My kid
