Published weekly at Alton. Sioux County, Iowa, by Mrs. Clara Bowers and son, Geo. E.

Bowers, a partnership, Mary L. Bowers, editor. Subscription rate, by mail, $2.50, payable in advance. 'The Iowa Blue of an Iowa Sky" In this issue of THE DEMOCRAT, dedicated to Iowa Agriculture, it is in tune with our tlieme to re- I'rint in part a poem which appeared in the fall of 1942 in the Chicago Sun, as wi'itten by Marchia "An Iowa cornfieltl i.s_thc preUiest place I know," The sunncr said, "So taU, so Rieen, so iiolrt; I'd like to pick coin (here all rtay long till I crow I've seen many states from east to west, But none like Iowa: I like it best. It lias' a peace; have yon ever seen The winrts like colts in those fields of ffreen? And the little towns, safe and ealni, Snug a.s- a penny held in the palm.

I wish I could walk affain down a sheet Where a fellow knows every man he meets. And work in the fields, and shuck the corn. Glad I'm a man, glad I was born. I wonder if you can know how good A farm can he? Just to feel of its mud Would be heaven to me!" I'm a gunner," he said, "on a merchant ship," And again I saw that twitch of his lip; "It's a dangerous job, though mighty good pay, But I'm willing to (hrow my chances away If fighting will keep my farmland free For a farm is greater than you or me." "I never expect to see again An Iowa hill, nor an Iowa plain; Nor the lamps put out like fruit at night On the supper table, fat with light. I never expect to see the sun Climb out of the loft when the day is done.

Nor eat the food as it comes from the land. Berries warm as a woman's hand. I never expect to be anylhing more Than a gunner on sea, and a sailor on shore For my schooling stopped ten years ago. And the land is all I ever shall know." "But I'm willing to throw my chances For how would I feel, if I saw some night The corn and the apple trees all alight? The barn in and the smoke so thick It lurched like the cattle when they're sick. They can spill my blood, but understand No son-of-a-gun can touch my land." He paused, and the muscle twitched again As muscles do in the cheeks of men.

Or boys grown strong in another day, Who now have given their hearts away; Boys who learned that peace is where The cattle roam in the Iowa air, And root.s grow deep, and trees grow higli In the Iowa blue of an Iowa sky. The roots DO grow deep in Iowa; and these fine autumn days the sky is bluer, the glowing sunsets are more gorgeous, the golden Iowa foliage more beautiful than brush or pen can picture. lO you California sons and daughters of Iowa, NOW is the time to COME TO IOWA!) Look Out For Magazine Rackets A farmer friend tells us that five or six young men are touring the county in a station wagon, claiming to represent an organization of disabled veterans, and they are using high pressure methods to sell subscriptions to magazines which are not recognized or i'tandard publications. "I looked over their list," says our friend, "and I had never seen or heard of any of the magazines listed there." These boys work one or two at a time in the rural districts. If the farmer or his wife are doubtful about the magazines the salesmen play upon their sympathies by urging their support of veterans disabled in the war support the sale iind tried to make him feel "like a heel." One farm woman whose son recently returned home innocent civilians, nor for bringing upon the world the curse of But it does give notice to the world and to such power-crazed leaders who may arise in the future, that such crimes as those perpetrated by the Nazi gangsters will bring only death and disaster to the perpetrators.

Says the prophet Isaiah: "Woe unto them that call evil good, and good evil, that put darkness for light and light for darkness. which justify the wicked for reward. "Therefore as the fire devoureth the stubble and the flame consumeth the so their root shall be as rottenness, and their blossom shall go up in dust; because they have cast away the law of the Lord of hosts, and despised the word of the Holy One of Israel."

It Seems To Us-- (By Floyd River Philosopher) Eggs in eastern citisji are reported to be selling for about a dollar a dozen and butter, right here, was sell- mg Saturday for the retail price of 89 cents a pound.

Schoeneman wife Meat is again a very scarce article except tor those who have a supply in their frozen lockers. These conditions are highly inflationary and hard on folks who are living on fixed incomes. There is bound to be a break some time and the resulting depression will bring difficult times.

Meanwhile union labor can hardly be expected to remain satisfied with present wage' levels while the cost of living spirals upwarcl, bringing on another wave of strikes and resulting in lowered production in the indusirial field. It appears to be clear that congress made a very bad mistake in lifting OPA control of prices during the month of July. Since OPA was it has not been effective in halting price advances and to this column, at least, it seems that all OPA controls might as well be dispensed with now and nature be allowed to take its course. If that comes, it will mean cattle at $30 per Hundred and sugar at around 30 cents a pound for a time but when the bump does come producers ought to have their finances cushioned enough so they can take it without too much harm being done. Retail stores which are carrying big stocks of goods which were purchased at high prices should provide a cushion, too, this column was advised the other day by a well infoi'med man, so that when the drop in price hits, they will be able to absorb their losses in the lowered price of merchandise without being wiped out.
