Dairy Interests Threatened

A lowering of freight rates Is nec-
essary at an early date If Iowa is
to maintain her present position as
the leading butter making state in the
Union. AS it stands today, the high
rates to all the eastern points operate
to keep the middle west butter maker
out OF his own market. Worse than
that, It Ia turning the eastern markets
over to the competing interests from
ocross the Atlantic. Ocean trafficseems
to be slack. Steamship companies are
making all kinds Of concessions to
foreign business. Old, country butter
makers are taking advantage and are
building up trade in the big eastern
cities which will be hard to. over
come. Denmark, with the. greatest
buttermakerss in the world, sends an
excellent quality which arrives hero
in good shape, and, after paying IN
duty, sells for 10c more than in Eur
ope. Imports in 1920 toatlled 37,454,-
900 lbs. against 17,487,00O in 1919,
an increase of over so per cent.

Of these questions was just to get

farmers were in need of, not to set
any particular prices on labor or

you to let us help you all we can.

pect to hold before spring work starts.

WILL CONE TO BAT AGAIN

An illustration OF the difficulty fre-
quently encountered in attempting
really meritorious legislation was af-
forded recently VIXEN the Iowa law
makers swatted Senator Campbell's
Iowa Mortgage bill to the tune. Of
~ to 18. This is Farm Bureau
measure. It is still alive in the House
and in an amended form will be
sent to the Senate again and allowed
to come back. to bat. It is q good
bill and entitled to pass on its merits.
Regardless of who or what influence
is backing it.
The meat of this measure lies in the
provision requiring 30 days notice to
be given before foreclosure on farm
mortgages, This may look Of small
& consequence 10 some people, but it
really Is Of large importance in con-
nestion with the present Iowa laws,
I for It would protect land owners
against an insidious form Of financial
insolvence and exploitation out Of the
recent advance interest rates. II this

an everlasting crimp in this newest
form Of graft.
They Call Il Huban.
The new name for annual white
sweet clover is "Hubam", which was
developed by Prof. Hughs at Ames.
This new clover gives some amazing
results. Since 1918 the State expert
ment station has given small samples
OF seed to farmers In several states.
This clover makes q very vigorous
growth, as much as 10 feet high In
81 months. It has great possibilities

producer. It was first discovered In
Alabama, hence it gets Its name from
the "Hu' in Hughs and the "bam"

You can get sample Of this seed

ut the Iowa Experiment Station at
Ames and sending q stamped envelope.

and the aid of farseeing father has

boy cannot grow q pig or calf with

The Chamber of Commerce reverses this and
calls for community service in the relation of eap

tai must do its part labor must do its part so that
greater use of human energy may result in COM

Under this definition, speed up means cheaper
things through greater volume of production per
man. 1t means more valuable dollar with greater
purchasing power, more comfort in the homes, a
greater buying power and this inevitably brings the
greater demand upon which employment at Living

discuss and agree together on the human basis and
not on of merely selfish and rather antagonistic
interest.
Selhshness always makes enemies. II is the
root cause Of all wars 1t is the root cause of in
dustria disputes, disagreements and strikes. If we
can get rid of selhshness; If capital and labor can

could operate from the remote terminal to the
more congested traffic limits and give transfers.

THERE are probably two words in the social
vocabulary that labor has hated than

ior this One of the foolest things employers ever
did was in the method used in the "speed-up" CAM

entirely out OF consideration. They undertook to
treasure and standardze quantity production under
the noses OF the workmen.
They used all the paraphernalia of scientific
investigation. They were as technical and elabor-
ate as a group of psychologists. Their attitude
rather that Of slave driver, than of cooperative
interest. They antagonized where-only mutual in
tcrcst could have any effect. They failed to show
or indicate any mutual benefit So far as the worker
could see he to speed up solely for the benefit
sof his employer, increase profits, without any
sulting benefit to him.

human nature, to system which omitted the
human element. The Chamber Of Commerce of
