AS an evidence OF this fact Alleman
had deeds for four perfectly good quar-
ter sections Of Iowa land executed and
they were placed in the stockings OF
four Of his children. where they greeted
their eyes on Christmas morning. These
grown children. the sons. G. Walter
Alleman and Otis d. Alleman. and
daughters, Mrs. William Conkle and
Mrs. George Bogenriey, may not have
had faith in the Santa Claus story. but
Dad" forced them to believe there IN
something more substantial than senu-
ment in connection with Christmas,
The land Is easily worth 5000 per acre
and the four quarters represent value
OF over quarter million dollars.
1t was one of the finest punches OF
Christmas gifts hung on Christmas
tree in central Iowa this season. The
children have been living on and en-
joying the benefits of the land for some
time. but this year the father has de-
cided to turn over the farms to the
youngsters, who have families of their
own to look after.

Grip Is something Of q joke to those
who have never had it, but when they
get it they become dead to all sense Of
humor. No disease was ever more ap-
propriately named because grip takes
hold Of tho entire system. To get rid
of it take Chamberlain's Cough Rem
edy and carefully observe the direc-
tons with each bottle. This remedy
Is highly recommended by those who
have used it and know its real value.
Obtainable everywhere.

BRITISH FLEET READY FOR
 EMERGENCIES
Newspaper Men Were Shown How
 German Blockade Failed

LONDON, Nov. 6-Graphic de scriptions of the first visit of Brit ish newspaper men to Great Brit aims grand fleet are published by all the morning papers. They unite in paying tribute to the prepared ness and efficiency of the British navy, not only as to the main fight ing units, but also to the less prom inent but equally important auxil- iaries.
 A naval officer aboard one of the ships told the correspondent that in addition to the war fleet proper there are between 2,000 and 5000 ships of the merchant marine en- ployed in transport and supply duty and as many more engaged in pa- trol work of in fighting the de- clining efforts of enemy subma- rines. The visitors were shown the celebrated map which marks the place where German submarines have been captured, destroyed or sunk, and methods for meeting the submarine menace were explained to them.
 "We actually saw vessels engaged in this anti-submarine business leav- ing port" says one correspondent. "Indeed, it is not necessary to go outside the harbor to understand why the blockade has failed. Here at anchor, alongside one another, lay the bane and the antidote."
 One full day of the visit was spen,

miles east of Orchard, Friday morn

Buss was young man, who par
