UNCoMPAHGRE WATER USERS
URGED TO ATTEND MEETING

Since the plan of sending nominal
ing ballots to the water Users has
seemed to cerate the impression that
the use of these ballots and the proxy
that was sent, also, was intended to
take the place of personal attendance
at the annual stockholders meeting.
February l, 1916, the Board of Direc-
tors wishes to impress upon every
member of the Water Users associa-
tion, that these ballots were intended
only for the use of those members
who cannot attend the meeting in per
son.
The ballots were not intended as a
substitute for personal attendance and
the board wishes to emphasize the i'm
portance of personal attendance at the
meeting by every water user.
The election of directors is only one
of the matters that comes before the
meeting and it is impossible for the
association to act intelligently upon
these questions, or even upon the elec-
ton of directors, without the personal
attendance of the water users them
selves.
This is your association. Attend the
meeting.
Should you be unable to attend. ser
your proxy. properly stamped, to some
person who will be present to have
your ballot counted.

QUARANTINE AND HOG
CHOLERA CONTROL

Quarantine measures are absolute
ly assectial for the control of any
contagious disease. Authorities are
compelled to impose quarantine re-
stlic .ioLs against smallpox, diphther
ia and other conditions that eplIdang-
er the public health. Likewise the
an.mal health sould be protected
agalst CHAMBERS, foot and mouth di-
sease, hog cholera etc.
Notwithstanding the general know
ledge that determines the necessity
for quarantine, experience has shown
that it is seldom popular with those
against whom it becomes necessary
to impose it, and stral ger than this
is the fact that often-tim les
the sentiment of a community sup
ports the quarantined one in his OPP
position to it and disrespect for it,
Until communities support the
| quarantine measures both by senti-
ment and cooperative effort, conta-
exact their toll of life and property.
All quarantine measures have for
| their object the control OF infection
of the particular disease against
| which the fight is being directed,
and include the proper care of the
infected animals and the proper dis
! positicG of the dead ones that the
disease may not be transferred to
other premises.
There are two kinds of Quaran-
tine: voluntary, and Involuntary.
The voluntary quarantine is one
that is self imposed. The owner
OF the infected herd isolates his
4 sick hogs and confines them to linn
4 tied quarters under cover He cleans
and disGfects his premises that the
danger TO his neighborhood may be
removed. He warns his neighbors
and placards his infected hog yards.
He keeps his dog at home. He does
not go from his infected lots to
the public highway on to a neighbor
without first disinfecting his shoes,
horses feet and wago1' He destroys
his dead hogs completely by burn
ing
When he does these things, he is
protecting himself and his neigh
bors That is all there is to quarar-
tlne-Protection. Wher' this is I'M
derstood it should make quarantine
popular.

We HAVE STATUATORY
PROHIBITION IN IOWA

We are hearing a .reat deal these
days about the liquor question
having been settled in Iowa, the sa-
loCm not being an issue in Iowa this
fall, etc. We do not understand just
how any one can be deceived by
such rot, but many are being. One
has but to get hold of the papers
from the former wet localities to
see that they have mot been de-
ceived. They have no false impress
sions in the matter but are doing
their best to foster their impress
sions among the voters They I'M
derstand fully just what the issue
is and are hoping against hope that
the voters will not do so, THE SA-
LOON is AN ISSUE in IOWA. At
present Iowa is dry to be sure, but
1t is dry by vote of the general
assembly Or in other words we
have statuatory prohibition, prohibi-
tlc,I by statute. This means that
succeeding general assembly may re-
peat it, by majority vote of the
members. But here's the rub-the
same session started a prohibition,
amendment to the constitution of
Iowa. This amendment must go
thru the usual procedure of passing
the next session of the general
assembly, and them must go to the
voters for confirmation. If this pass
es then Iowa will be permanently
in the dry ranks, but until that
time Iowa will be considered by the
"wets" as fighting ground, and we
can expect to see many repetitioas
of the disgraceful scenes that have

HUNDREDS ENJOY
ST. PETERS FAIR
Bazar of Woman's Guild Closed
Last Night-CIear
About $500.

The annual fair of the. Women's
Guild of ST. Peters church came to
an end last night with supper and
card party, both of which were well
attended. 1t was estimated today
that about $500 had been cleared in
the three nights Of the fair. Prac-
tically all of the booths were sold out
in charge and today the members of
the Guild are being congratulated
upon their excellent showing.
The card party. at which progress
sive bridge whist was played, was
well attended and proved to be q
financial success. There was no
dancing last night. On the first
night dancing alone was the main at
traction and on the second night q
basketball game and dance combined
drew large crowd. These extra af-
fairs are responsible for much of the
money which was received on the
three nights.
The booths were so well stocked
on the opening night that many ex-
pressed the opinion that they would
never be sold. When the closing
hour came last night, however, there
were but few articles to be found.
The appearance of the booths this
year, bedecked in Christmas coIors
of red and green, added greatly to
the success Of the fair, practically all
passing complimentary renarks

$4,000 HERE IN
POSTAL SAVINGS
Postmaster White Says That
There are 600 Depositors
at the Post Office.

The postal savings bank at the
local postoftice is one of the most
successful undertakings of it's kind
here. The postmaster, Richard +.
White, announces that the bank is
increasing in the number of deposits
and the number of depositors as we'll.
There are at present about 900 de-
positors in the postal savings bank.
The amount of the deposits on hand
amount to about 100000. The busi-
ness of the bank is increasing daily,
and the authorities feel that the bank
Will increase to nearly double the
present number within a short time.
The system used in connection
with the bank is simple, as explained
by the postmaster. An account may
be opened with one dollar. In real
ity, the account can be started with
ten cents, when one purchases one of
every ten cents up to one dollar de-
posted a stamp is placed on the
card. When the card has ten stamps
on 1t, 1t is turned in as the opening
or the account, and is placed to the
credit of the depositor. Deposits may
now be made up to $1,000, the
amount having been increased by
$500 recently. 1t is believed that a
still further amount may be permitA
ted by action of the post Office de-
partment later.
When the depositor has a certain
amount on deposit, he can purchase
with his balance United States postal
bonds of $40 up to $500 denomina-
ton and under the new rule can con-
tinue up to $1,000. The accounts
draw interest at the rate of two per
cent annually and the bonds likewise
are paid on the same interest rate
When the deposits reach $1,000 If
they are not converted into bonds,
