We are wondering If the fellows
who recently started the new party
at Chicago will not want to join one
OF the older ones little later on.
We note by the Kansas papers that
"Hennery" Allen, who for many
moons was q new party man, wants
to come home to the Republicans
and incidentally he wants them to
elect him governor Victor Muir
dock, who cried when the Progress
sive party died at Chicago a few
months ago wants the Democrats
to elect him United States Senator.

Take Tho Hunch

Once upon time a farmer had
1000 bushels of wheat which he
sold, not to mill, but 1900 diff
ferent men a bushel each. Now a
few Of the fellows paid cash on de
livery but the greater number said
they would pay later. After a few
months has passed the rancher's
bank account ran low. 'How's this?'
my 1000 bushels Of wheat should
have kept me in aff1uence until an
other crop is raised, but have par.
ted with the grain and instead l
have vast number OF accounts SO
small and scattered that I cannot
get around to collect even enough
to pay expenses" So he sent out no.
tice and asked all those who owed
him to please pay quickly. But-a
few payed and the others responded
mine is only small matter and
will pay some other day forgetting
that though each account was small
Wnen they We're all put together
they made large sum to this man.
Things went on thus and he began
to feel so bad that he fell out of
bed and awoke. He went out to
his granary where he found his g.
600 bushels of wheat. He had only
been dreaming. The next day the
man went to the editor and said:
Here, sir is the pay in full for your
paper and when next years sub.
scription is due you can depend on
me to pay it up promptly. / was in
the position of an editor last night

URGE HOUSE KEEP
ERs TO Save BOTTLES
Say Serious Shortage Of Preserving
Jars and Cans is Threatened.

Washington, d. c., May 1.-The
homecoming specialists of the U. ).
Department of Agriculture urge eV-
ery housekeeper to save bottles--es-
pecially wide-necked ones-for put
ting up fruits preserves, Jellles'
Jams, and fruit juices. Saving OF
bottles is highly important, they say,
as there threatens to be serious
shortage Of regular jars and preserV-
ing cans this season.
The fruit products named, ii seal
ed with corks and paratiiin. can be
kept perfectly in these makeshift
containers. Jellies, jams, and pre-
serves can be kept even in ordinary
drinking glasses, by the use of paper
and paraffin. Fruit juices should be
packed in ordinary small necked bot
tiles.
Vegetables, soups and meats, on
the other hand, to keep must be seal
ed by the usual fruit jar or tincan
packing methods. Reserve regular
containers for foods that can not be
packed in bottles.
The specialists are also urging all
members of canning clubs and others
not only to can products, but to dry
and evaporate all such products as
apples, pumpkin, and squash. They
advise strongly that if containers are
scarce locally, those in stock should
be used to preserve perishables pro-
ducts which have the highest muir
tive value. Nothing should be pack
ed in jars or cans which can be con-
served effectively in other ways.
Candy containers or other glass
jars with screw tops of glass stop
pers, and in fact any receptacle of
glass, crockery or porcelain, can be
sealed with cork or paper and para
fin.
Large tin canisters or tin cans
with removable cover, provided the
body Of the container is air and wa
ter tight, will be found useful in can
ming certain products. Such contain
|ers can be steriliZed and their COW
ers Theoretically sealed in place with
solder or wax.

A SorroWful Mother.

Council Bluffs Nonpariel: In times
of war the souls of men are tried, but
not more so than the souls of women.
Some days ago Madame Schumann-
Heink, famous singer, returned to
her home at San Diego, Cal, to find
herself the guest of honor at a recep-
ton given under the auspices of 4
musical organization Of which she is
the honorary head. During the course
of the evening the band played 1.-The
Star Spangled Banner" and Schu-
mann-Heink arose with others and
with tears flowing from her eyes she
sang the words of the piece The
great singer announced later that she
had one son in the German navy and
four others who were ready to enlist
for service under the stars and strip
es. A picture of n mother with tear
stained face singing THE Star Span
gled Banner" under circumstances of
this kind will never fade from the
minds of those who were privileged
to stand as witnesses.

OFFICERS ENFORCE
new WAR RULING
National Guardsmen who Have Moth
ers Dependent Upon Them
to be Discharged.

A new ruling has been passed
whereby all soldiers enlisted in the
national guard who have mothers
dependent upon them will be dis
charged and officers are today going
through the list of members of c
company complying with this law
which went into effect a few days
ago, Heretofore soldier could, by
applying to headquarters, get his dis
charge if he was the bread winner
for his mother. However, the new
law is compulsory and large num-
Der of c company members will be
affected by it. The government finds
it easier to procure men without
home ties of this nature than to sup
port the mothers whose sons have en-.
tered the service.
One more Webster City boy, AL.
bert r. Wells, enlisted in C company
last night and q telephone message
today says several Kamrar boys are
coming to enlist.
No more men will be given theii
discharge from Company c in order
to join the aviation corps, according
to Lieut.. N. l.. Soderholm.
The following members of G COM
pany have been appointed sergeants

Elevators Guarded at Ellsworth,

The numerous elevator fires that
have caused havoc in several Iowa
towns, have caused the grain deal
ers of Ellsworth to put night guards
in their elevators. Watchmen were
on duty for the first time last night
and the citizens of the town have ex-
pressed a willingness to share the
expense of continuing the good work.
Thus far, Reynolds & Rude and the
Farmers Elevator Co. have. taken the
initiative, but within a few days it
will be done comparatively.

decreasing per acre in Illinois and
they look for Iowa in five years to
be the best corn growing state in the
United States. They also say that
Webster county land will be selling
for $500 an acre in short time.

Healy & Neill are
For the Clarke estate, 1,2S0 acres
