Farmers Can Prevent 100000 Los.


Heavy losses from the destructive
white grub will occur in large areas OF
Wisconsin in the summer of 1915, un.
less our farmers use every means to
prevent it," is the warning issued by
Prof j. G. Sanders, entomologist OF
the agricultural experiment station at
Madison.
The losses in 1915 promise to be as
great or greater than in 1912, when 80
per cent of the corn crop was ruined,
This trouble will occur every third
year until more efficient controls are
found. The following recommends
lions are made to farmers for check
ing the white grub, wherever the June
beetles (the adult state of the grub
were plentiful this summer:
Fall pillow and drag Immediately all
fields where corn will be planted next
year.
Plant corn again on 1914 corn land.
1t will be comparatively safe to
plant corn in field with pure stand
of clover in 1914.
Do not plant corn on sod land
plowed up next spring.
Special insect control problems OF
all kinds will receive attention free
of cost If communicated to the ento-
mologist, agricultural experiment sta
ton, Madison.

Herman Rhodes Gilbert was born
at Harper's Ferry, Maryland, May 8,
1885, and departed this life, Oct. 1,
1914, at the home of his son in
Leonard, N, D., being at the time of
his death, IS years, months and 23
days.
He moved from Maryland to Indi-
ana in early life where he grew to
manhood and in 1860 he was united
in marriage to Emily Gerard, and to
this union ten children were born,
three of whom preceded him to the
spirit world. They came to Iowa in
the fall of 1870 and settled on farm
southwest of Leon where they lived
for few years. He then purchased
a farm northeast of Leon where he
lived until about eight years ago
when he sold out and moved to Da-
kota. He united with the Church of
the Brethren in 1878, and lived and
died in that faith. Funeral services
were held at the Franklin church
Tuesday Oct. at / 1 a. m. conducted
by A. L. Sears, with the text: Let
me die the death of the righteous
and let my last be like His In
terment in Franklin cemetery.

A good sized audience enjoyed Mr..
Edgar S. Kindley's address at the
morning service, Sunday. Mr.. Kind
ley is a member of mems Bible
class of the Presbyterian church of
Davenport. His class has member
ship of three hundred men, and he
told of some interesting things rela-
tive to it's organization and work. He
made it clear that the Sunday school
and church can effectively be streng-
thened and built up by means of a
Mems Glass. Hence a great work
and a great responsibility is incum-
bent upon the men of our churches.
Mr.. Kindley is strong and popular,
not only as an educator and platform
speaker, but as church man also.
Our Sabbath school expressed it's
interest in the efficient movement for
the Christmas ship of gifts to the
war suffering children of Europe.
This, evidently, is an epoch-making
ministry-se sending gifts of love and
sacrifice to war stricken Europe.
Certainly it will carry at the Advent
season, the angelic message of peace
and good will to men. ut is twice
blessed, it blesses him that gives
and him that receives" Leon should
have a goodly share in movement
that has spontaneously become ma
tional and international in it's scope.
Miss Grace Wallace, Miss Lillian
Pullin and Miss Josephine Cooney
were appointed committee with
some member of the committee. The
movement, of course is unsectarian,
supported alike by press, pulpit and
fraternal organizations. We need to
act at once for the time is short. The
shipment must be sent to Chicago by
November 1st, as the ship sails from
New York December LIST. Articles
of necessity and comfort are sug-
gested as the proper kinds of gifts.
There was large attendance of
the Ladies' Aid at it's last meeting,
which was entertained at the home

On Tuesday, Oct. 81, there is to
be church conference at our church

ANE LIE NEN HATNDLlGN0
An ordinance planned to stop food
hogging and forestalling was read to
the commission by Acting Corpora
ton Counsel Leon Hornstein. He said
that it will be a hard ordinance to
enforce because a food hog may be
able to prove that large supplies he
is holding are for legitimate business
selling.
If witnesses can be found who tes-
tify that a packer or a cold storage
man has openly stated he is buying
and holding food supplies for the sole
purpose of getting a higher price, and
has clearly committed himself as a
fo~restaller, a conviction will be posi-
BILE. To prove this intention of fore
stalilng is the hard twist.

meeting yesterday, said to a Day

Gil to pass this for its moral effect.
We know conviction will be difficult.
But we do know men who r guilty.

he wasn't taking any gloomy view
Of the situation. But the facts are
fierce and undeniable. And all fac

men at war than ever before in his
tory" said Aid. Merriam.
Food supplies will be drained
from all the ends of the earth. The
unexpected will happen. We must
be ready for anything.
Unless we take action and handle
the whole food problem by new and
drastic methods we may have a quar-
ter of a million people on our hands,

The city council will break its va
