POST0FF|CE
IS, ROBBED R
Williams Visited by Burglars Who
Secure Over Five Hundred
Dollars in Money
and Stamps.
SAFE DRILLED AND BLOWN OPEN
theft Committed Sometime During
Saturday Night Clue
to the Thieves.

The citizens of Williams and es-
peciaiI, the postmaster of that town.
\ C. M. Stevens, We're considerably ex-
cited Sunday morning when they
discovered that burglars had enter
d the postoffice sometime during
Saturday night and had stolen be-
tween five and six hundred dollars
in money and postage stamps.
The robbery was discovered
( by nearby resident who found the
\ back door of the Office standing
| open. 1t is supposed this door was
left open by the burglars while at
their work that they might have an
easy exit from the building in case
they were discovered before their
plans of robbery had been finished.
The t.oor to the safe in the postof-
ficef was drilled, powder injected,
aaid the safe blown open. A family
residing across the alley from the
postoffice thought they heard an un-
usual noise during the night, but
1made no Investigation. This was
! probably when the safe was blown.
The robbers secured $16S and a
few cents in money and between
$500 and s400 worth of postage
.stamps. 1t is supposed to be the
FORK Of professionals. The citizens
sport that there were two or three,
hspicious looking characters in
tWilliams Saturday. However.
whether these were the ones guilty
lof the postofiice robbery or not is
imerely a conjecture, there being no
Tangible clue as to the perpetrators
kof the deed.

open date was caused by misun-
derstanding.
Commencing Monday, tour OF
the Eleventh district will be started.
George Scott Of Sioux City, candi-
date to succeed the late Congressman
Hubbard. will accompany him. A
tour of that district and part of the
Tenth will fill next week. Several
of the candidates for state offices al
SO will accompany the leading candi-
dates. ,-.

cratic gubernatorial candidate whose
activities in cooperative elevator
circles have given him a consider

campaign is becoming somewhat Of
a fzzle. At recent Des Moines
meeting, 500 none too enthusiastic
partisans were present.

probably the week of Oct. 21.
Senator Robert NJ LaFollette has
sent word that he will be unable to
be here as he promised Senator Ken
yon some time ago. He declares that
strong fight in Wisconsin will
keep him at home.
Senator Borah of Idaho is another
man who promised Kenyon his sup
port in Iowa, but conditions in Ida
no similar to those in Wisconsin
will keep him at home. Borah has
one of the hardest fights of any of
the candidates for reelection. He
has asked Kenyon's support in Ida
no but the latter has all he can do
at home.
The republican state central COM
mittee and Senator Kenyon and his
secretary "Waily" Weston, have
been hard at work for some time
arranging the speaking dates. From
the Eleventh district Kenyon and
his party will go to the Eighth dis
trict and make a tour of the south
ern part of the state. This section
surprised people at the primaries by
the vote it gave Kenyon against
Lafe Young of Des Moines. From
the southern section, the tour will
swing through the eastern part OF
the state.
The campaign will be an arduous
one. The weather now is not as
favorable to outdoor speaking as 1t
was before the primaries nor are the
roads in as good condition. One OF
Kenyon's friends declared the tour
will be test of endurance.

HOW TO COOK POTATOES.
simpIe and Delicious Recipes For
SERVING This Popular Vegetable.


Serving This Popular Vegetable.
The art of cooking potatoes is quite
as much an art as anything else per,
tanning to culinary affairs.
They are generally sent up to table
boiled or steamed. mashed, baked or
fried 1t is pity that more variety is
not attempted, for potatoes are 50
much eaten that in these ordinary
forms they become monotonous.
In Europe the ordinary plain cooks
and many simple peasant women pro-
duce the most delicious variations in
the treatment of this highly valued
vegetable.
The most common way of cooking
potatoes in France as well as one Of
the most delicious Is that known as
saute or tossed.
Some simple recipes are given as
follows that will prove serviceable in
improving the vegetable course at
meals:
Pommes de Terres Sautee.-Slice az
thinly as possible about eight cold po-
tatoes Of medium size. Heat one ounce
and half of butter or dripping in a
frying or omelet pam put in the pota-
toes, season with pepper and salt, cook
over quick fire for five minutes, toss
ing very frequently; put them on one
side Of the pan to give them the shape
of an oInelet; allow them to color nice
ly, then turn out on hot dish and
serve.
Potatoes a la Bonnie Femme.-Boil
twelve large sized potatoes in their
jackets and when cold peel and cut
them in slices. Put them in a stew
pan with piece Of butter, pinch of
sweet mixed herbs and half gill of
milk and season with salt, pepper.
grated nutmeg, a little chopped pars-
ley and shallot. Let all simmer gently
for ten minutes, stirring from time to
time to prevent burning. When ready
for dishing up squeeze the juice Of
half a lemon over the potatoes.
Sayory Stuffed Potatoes.-Rasp some
medium sized round potatoes, cut off a
small piece of the top of one side of
each and scoop out the center, but be
careful not to break them. Next pre-
pare a stuffing with a mixture Of
breaderumbs, chopped parsley, thyme,
chives and shallot: season with salt
and pepper: moisten with little milk
or cream and the yolk of an egg. Fill
the potatoes with this stufting. place
them in a buttered saute pan side by
side. brush them with oiled butter and
bake them In moderate oven

FOUNDATION OF CROPS.
Lies In Seeds, So Keep Yours cIeaa
and Well Graded.

OF all things that u farmer should
do and Of all things that he usual
~ does not do until the day before
seeding commences. If he does it at
all. is the cleaning and grading of his
seed grain, says the Iowa Homestead.
Putting it off is easier than doing it,
so a great many Of us put it off, espe-
own We do not realize that it would
be good Investment for us to buy one
and do not feel like asking neighbor
for the loan or use Of his mill.
But cleaning and grading seed grain
do pay. 1t would pay dollars for
every hour spent at the actual labor OF
using the mill, besides 81 an hour for
the use of the mill. This may seem
like setting 1t pretty high, but think
a little Take Into consideration the
fact that small. wrinkled. shriveled
kernel of grain produces. If it produces
anything, only small. weakly, spin
ding plant This plant may live through
the season and produce It's like or 1t
may die early In life and be replaced
by weeds or grass. In any case we
should be having a strong. hearty,
healthy plant growing where the sick
ly, spindltng specimen grows, and the
only way to be sure Of it Is to grade
the seed we sow-to take out the small,
shriveled kernels and SOW only the
plump, heavy ones.
Almost any one Is ready to admit that
we grow too many weeds now without
deliberately sowing more seed of such
pests with our small grain, but we ac-
tually and deliberately do SOW weed
seed that we would like mighty well
to get rid of when we SOW grain just
as the thrasher cleaned 1t. A little
cleaning with a good mill always sur
prises one by taking lot of weed and
bad grass seed out of what we think
is very clean grain, while grain that
we admit is too dirty to SOW seems
simply to dissolve itself into half weed
seed and trash In going through a mill.

THE ARBITRATION TREATIES.

Insult, hatred, resentment, de-
sire for revenge, the lust OF con-
quest. the eagerness to grasp ter
ritory, the desire of men whose
passions are excited to fight
those are the things which stand
in the way of the reign of f.eace.
The making of treaties Is but an
incident, step, an agency in the
great process Of changing the
standards of mankind, of pro-
noting. a sense of the Obligation
of self control as between the
people Of different nations, just
as in the long course of centuries
the obligation of self control as
between individuals has been In
culcated. 1t Is a long and often
discouraging process. No one
can read history and see what a
vast change has taken place in
the sense of justice, In the sense
of compassion, in the condemns
ton of brutality and in the self
control Of the people of the earth
and not be encouraged to believe
that 1t is a process which is ever
and ever going on. The great
question is not whether we are
ending war In making these trea-
ties. 1t Is whether we are doing
our part in our day and genera
ton to carry on that great proc
ess that is taking mankind out
Of the reign Of brutality into the
reign of justice and virtue and
compassion and kindness. Let
our country, which has done so
much to exhibit to the world a
standard of individual liberty
and justice, do its part. not tech
nical, cheeseparing and meticu
lous IN its dealing with words;
but, having due regard to its
great Office in the world, let 1t do
its part as moral agent to lead
mankind, but step it may be,
but still step in the right direc-
ton, along the path Of rational
and Christian progress by the
ratification Of these treaties

HOW TO ENRICH YOUR SOIL.
Excellent Results Without Handling
Ordinary Manure.


If the soil Of your garden Is in good
mechanical condition-that is. if it con-
tains the proper amount of decayed
vegetable matter-excellent results in
the way of fertilizing may be obtained
without the Inconvenience of handling
ordinary manure. Sheep manure may
be bought in sacks and is excellent. 1t
gives immediate results. Strewn over
and dug, into the vegetable garden or
placed directly in drills or hills, it pro
notes a rapid, steady growth until ma
turity. 1t makes rich and safe liquid
manure, one pound in five gallons Of
water producing a mixture which can
be used safely daily if necessary.
Bonemeal is good. but Is not com
plete fertilizer. Wood ashes should be
used with caution. MS the large amount
OF I've they contain may do mischief.
The best chemical fertilizer is what
Is known as Il complete fertilizer, which
is supplied under various names. Ask
when you buy it how to use it and be
sure to use no more than the directions
permit. A very light sprinkling over
the soil after spading or blowing, then
raked in, is best. Chemical fertilizers
are very strong and will kill or injure
plauts if used to excess.
If the soil Of your garden is not in
good mechanical condition it must be
properly MANFRED before you can hope
TO have success. Dig in fresh horse
manure and leave the ground rough
and let the manure rot. When 1t is
rotted spade up the ground again and
perhaps planting may be done. Never
dig fresh manure into the ground, how
ever just before planting.

Las your Horse The nshivers Z.

A horse with the "shivers" is a
mighty uncomfortable creature and is
always an easy victim to the influenza
bug. Perhaps the stable is damp or
drafty. More likely it is lacking in
ventilation and no purifying rays of
sunshine reach its interior. In such
case the stock breathe over and over
again the same air. their blood be-
comes starved for oxygen, and the cir
culation Is impaired
