$1,000 FOR \ HUSBAND

w yE suggest that it might be we'll
MI for Miss Mary Chandler. who
is considering the purchase of
the husband of Mrs. Agnes
Evelyn Jones Bedell, of Boston, for
$1,000. to make sure she is getting her
moneys worth before she buys.
Mrs .Bedell insists that her husband
is worth $1,000 and Mr.. Bedeli mod
estly admits 1t, gallantly adding that a
woman is worth twice as much as a
man. and blonde women worth one
third more than brunettes.
1t would be pity to split house
hold that agrees so perfectly upon
such prime essential of married life
as the worth of husband. Likewise,
when in the fullness of time the neces-
sity arises for employing an alienist
to pass upon the qualifications of one
or the other for admission to an
asylum for the mentally deficient. a
considerable sum of money might be
saved by hiring the same physician to
examine both at the same visit.

FORMER RESIDENTS WRITE.
Winneshiek People at Sask., Canads
Tell About Conditions There.

Below is part of sletter received
| by one Of our subscribers from Mr..
and Mrs. Godfrey Void, of Sask.
Canada, former Winneshiek County
people, which states how conditions
are in Canada Nov. 4th, (when the
letter was writtcn) and which We
think will be read with interest by
their many frierds here. In par;
| it reads as follows:
Il will drop you few lines to lei
you know We are all we'll, hoping
this will find you the same.
1--WE are having nice weather, nc
snow yet. We did have some awhile
ago, but it didn't last very long.
We'll l expect you have heard
about the war. 1t sure is awful the
way they are keeping on. They have
taken many thousand men from Can
ada, they have taken all that want
ed to go willingly, and now that they
can't get any more of them, they
have started drafting. There's one
bunch drafted already and they are
| getting the second bunch now.
Guess they will keep on till they
get them all out of here. The mount
ed police are riding through the
countries, taking down the names OF
the men. There was one of them
here today, and we got scared, and
wished we had not settled down in
this country.
Il expect you've heard that the
crops were a failure all through this
country this year, as we had no rain
all summer. We had about 70 acre.
of wheat and gor around SO bushels
of wheat in all, and our oats wasn't
worth cutting.
| Money is scarce. so its near impos-
country.
Everybody is getting their coal
and groceries from the Government
for the coming year. All they get Is
fifteen dollars worth of groceries and
two tons Of coal for each family
Not very much is it?
TOO bad we ever went back las
spring when we bad got away, wher
things turned out this way in this

WEIGHTS AND MEASURES.
How Law Governing Them is Bein;
Violated.

Des Moines, Ia, Nov. 23.-Whilc
ex-senator J. U. Sammis of LIE Mars,
was in the city Wednesday he in
vestigated action taken by the food
and dairy commissioner in the mat
ter of arrest of man at Akron for
violation of the weights and meas
ures law. The man was buying corn.
Instead of shading the price because
of the corn being new and heavy he
took ~ pounds to the bushel from
the farmer, hence was arrested. The
weights and measures department
has received several complaints OF
this kind The law fixes the pounds
to be taken for a bushel but does
not fix the price, so that the right
way is to fix the price to suit con
ditions and leave the bushel weight
correct.

A Lesson.

The appearance of the foot and
mouth disease is impressing On own
ers of live stock a lesson many of
them long overlooked. This lesson
has much to do with the Importance
of caring for the health of their ami
mails.
Since the work of stamping out the
disease has been under way, a work
that is proving very costly in COM
munities where the plague has gain
ed a foothold, the value Of the veter-
marian has been demonstrated most
forcibly Hereafter, he will be more
highly esteemed and his services will
be in better demand.
Domes ic animals really require
the same sort of care that their own
ers demand. When they become ILL.,
they should be looked after by men
who have scientific knowledge and
who are competent to treat their alt
ments.
