ENOUGH POTATOES FOR
THE STATE OF IOWA

Iowa potatoes for Iowa consum-
ers."
That is the slogan of campaig gn
that is being promoted by the agri-
cultural extension department of
Iowa State college. Thru clearing
house managed by G. l.. Fitch of
the college, the department hopes
to bring producers and consumers
in Iowa together and thus stop
the costly practice of buying this
staple food outside the state, when
it can just as we'll be bought at
home.
The per capita potato consmmp-
tion in the United States is three
and one-half bushels.
Iowa this year has raised II
million bushel potato crop, Or e.
nough to supply Z IL bushels to
each person in Iowa
Why ship potatoes from outside
states when there is surplus
here?
Iowa will be ahead million dol
iars or two if she will eat her own
potatoes instead of reaching for

GROWING SENTIMENT
WITH OUR SCHOOL BOYS

1t is a pleasure to notice the
increasing habit with our school
boys during the past year or two
of cleaning UP their shoes and ar
ranging their collars and ties each
morning before starting to school.
The neat and tidy appearance
of our young men who are attend
ing school is getting to- be the COM
mon talk of the citizens of town
and country, in and near the City
Beautiful.
There is little doubt but the eff
feet on parents who had children oi
school age to send, produces al
admi ration of those who attend oul
city schools and is largely the
reason that SO many are attending
from the country the present term.

CAUGHT IN A LOG
BUT He SHR|VELED UP

A man, says the Kansas Pink Rag
was afraid of thunderstorm and
crawled into hollow log. The thun
der rolled, the rain poured down
in torrents and the log swelled up
until the poor fellow was wedged
in so fast that he could not move.
ALL his past sins began to pass be-
fore him and he suddenly remem-
bered that he had not paid his

him feel SO small that he was able

France to England with
Wounded Soldiers
IS WERE DROWNED,
800 WERE RESCUED
Collier Lusitania Which Went to the
Aid of the Anglia Was Also Dc
stroyed and IS Members of the Crew
Perished - Survivors Land at Dover

LONDON, Nov. 18.-The British hos
pital ship Anglia, carrying 385 wound
ed soldiers, struck mine while cross
ing the English channel from France
yesterday and was sunk. Eighty-five
OF the passengers were drowned The
survivors include matron, two nurses
and the captain.
The Anglia is the hospital ship on
which King George was brought from
the French front after he had been in
Jured by being thrown from his horse
at a review of troops
One of the ships which went to the
aid of the Anglia was also blown up
and destroyed while engaged in the res
cue work This was the London collier
Lusitania, 1884 tons. She had lowered
two boats to pick up survivors from
the Anglia. These were hardly away
from the Lusitania s side when the men
in them saw the collier destroyed. They
were unable to save the rest of the
crew, some % men.
The Anglia s masts with the hospital
flag still flying are visible from the
shore.
The Anglia was struck on the star
board side forward about noon She
| Immediately listed to starboard but
| fioated about half an hour. The S. O.
| s. signal was instantly flashed out and
neighboring vessels rushed to help. BY
the time these vessels reached the An
glia she was down by the head and her
Ipropellers were revolving in the air
Her stern was so high that one of the
vessels was practically able to get UNI
derneath her, enabling about 40 to drop
aboard the rescue ship. Two of those
thus taken died before reaching Eng
land. Two hundred of those aboard
were bad cases and were unable to hep
themselves.
A number of survivors We're landed
at Dover and they arrived in London
last evening on two ambulance trains
They were met by a large convoy OF
ambulance and Red Cross physician:
and nurses. Some of the sufferers look

to be cheerful. They waved their hands
in response to the cheers of the crowd

DEER HUNTER KILLED.
Man Who Fired Fatal Shot Thought
He Was Aiming at Coon.

WEST WARREN, Mass, Nov. Is. =
One fatality marred the deer hunting
on the third day of the open season
Yesterday, Joseph Fountain, Is, was
killed by a deer slug discharged from
the GUN of Wallace Caldwell while both
were hunting about three miles west of
this village at 4.30 o clock yesterday
afternoon. Joseph, with his father,
John w. Fountain, Police Inspector
William Z. Rooney of Boston and Ar
thur Howard of New Bedford had been
hunting all day and were about to re-
turn home when the fatal accident oc-
Cured.
They stopped for rest, and young
Fountain was sitting on rock between
Rooney and Howard when Wallace
Caldwell and Amory J. Crossman, j.,
came out of the woods in the distance.
Both raised their guns in preparation
for a shot, but only Caldwell fired.
Struck squarely in the head by the
bullet, Fountain fell over into the arms
of Inspector Rooney. He lived about
an hour. DIR. II. H. Moore of West War
rem was summoned, but the boy breath
ed his last just as the doctor arrived
in his automobile.
The body was brought to West War
rem by Undertaken J. n. L. Quinlan and
there viewed by Medical Examiner Dr.
P. P. Schneider of Palmer, as the shoot
ing occurred in the latter town. DR.
Schneider found that the slug had en-
tered the forehead just at the edge OF
hair and had come out through the
back of the skull. Later the fattenet
slug was found in the sleeve of the
sweater of Arthur Howard, who haC
been sitting beside Fountain.
Caldwell was placed under arrest by
Officer Crimmins of Palmer and wa
taken to the latter town. He was com
pletely overcome as the result of hi
: fatal shot. Neither he nor his com
J panion could explain why they fired
Crossman, however, said that they ha'
r seen many coons sitting near the rocl
where Fountain had been during tn
: past moonlight nights. Disappointe,
5 at not finding any deer, they were o
I tire lookout for coons when they sight
