OURNAL VOLUME XXII 18-fo- ot THOSE IOWA FARMERS For years the farmer has sat back and taken what has been handed to him. Of late, however; farmers of the middle west have caused the eyes of the nation to turn their directon. They have demanded fair prices,, a farm market, and sensible legislation. The farmers thru ridiculous bidding have discouraged farm foreclosures, and now are demanding sane and sensible legislation from their state legislature either that or riot, bloodshed, dissolution of the legislature, and a nation-wid- e strike. Our nation at this time ill can afford to permit such a policy to be fostered in Iowa or any other community, and their demands probably will be met. At least, the market price on sugar and hog3 has advanced in the last two days. RESTORING LIFE Science now is greatly concerning itself with the installation of life into bodies already dead. It recalls to mind the recent movie monstrosity Frankenstein. Success of such efforts might have ill as well as good effects, but they will have to learn what life is before they can manufacture it.

Hunters will meet at the Palace Candy Kitchen in Price at 8:00 a. m. sharp, bringing their own lunch and tin cup. Coffee will be furnished. Hunters from Helper or the mines wishing to participate should register with the Helper chamber of commerce, or at The Journal office. Sunday evening, Sheriff Marion Bliss and Eugene Hansen, representing the Price chamber of commerce, met in Helper with members of the local chamber of commerce for the purpose of discussing the possibilities of staging a rabbit hunt within the next two weeks. The plan has met with the approval of both organizations and plans were expected to be completed Thursday evening. While final details are lacking, - it is understood a silver cup prob ably will be presented the winning team, to become a permanent tro phy after three winnings by either team. Sportsmen from the camps will be asked to Join the residents of the two citys in the rabbit hunt and registrations may be made with the Helper chamber of commerce or at this office. The rabbits procured during the hunt would be turned over to the RFC or Red Cross for distribution to such families as wished to have fresh game. Also, the hunt will be held within the next two weeks. Would Promote Good Will It is the belief of members of the two civic bodies that a few more mutual activities between Price and Helper would serve in the promotion of good will between the two cities, and it is understood the two clubs now are planning holding an Inter-cit- y dance in the near future.

Game Birds Fed During the past year, the local sportsmen's organization has expended approximately $300 in the feeding of pheasants and quail in this portion of the state.
