The Nelson brothers, MarinMs and
Walter, who recently bought the
Sharon Creamery are giving the
patrons of that section excellent ser

At least it is much more satis-
factory because the boys do their
own hauling. They bought a motor
truck and with their converted
Ford touring car they make the
rounds giving their patrons first

By this method they know how
the product is when they get it,

"THE KAISER
HASN'T a CHANCE"

Harry Lauder: My only regret
is that ] hadn't seven sons instead
OF one to send to fight the Huns.
The kaiser hasn't chance in the
world to win this war. The Brit
ish are in this to finish and
they will never stop until they
have disastrouSly defeated the
kaiser and kaiserism and have re-
moved the Hohenzollerns from the
face OF the earth. | know that
the Hohenzollerns will never tri-
umph. They would have to kill
every Briton to win and they can
never do that. | know whereof [
speak, for | have been at the bat
Tie front have personally talk
ed to the soldiers, whom | enter
tanned in the trenches while the
Germans sent shells over our
heads.

NO THOUGHT OF
CHANGING HIGHWAY

There has been and will be no
intention of taking the Lincoln
highway away from Pottawat-
iamie county, according to Field
! Secretary Ostermann of the Lin
,.oln Highway association, who
D assed through Council Bluffs
We. sterday upon his annual tour of
the highway.
The secretary assured Secretary
Blake of the local Chamber of
Commerce that the highway was
a permanent institution in this
county, would be maintained as
such, and that any rumors to the
effects that proposals to change
the route to cross the Missouri
river at Missouri Valley, cutting
out Council Bluffs and Omaha,
would be entertained, are un-
founded and false -Nonpareil.

Newspaper COMMENT.

AS they say in Canada, millions
bear arms, but only the kilties
bare legs.
The Teuts have lost the Poel-
capelle brewery. Now for fresh
peace terms.
The Germans appear to be get
ting ready to wage peace against
the whole world.
Bulgaria is beginning to see
that she is playing on the wrong
team to share in the gate receipts.
In one way the kaiser is holding
his own. He started in the war
with six sons, and he's still got
'em.
The coal companies are doing
everything in reason to back up
Lloyd Georges advice to keep
cool.
That United States transport
put it over on the Huns anyway
it delivered the goods before they
sank it.
German soldiers in their des-
peration are again heroically as
saulting fruit trees in the war
zone which they find untenable.
The Zeppelin is the only engine
of war that is peculiarly and ex-
clusively German by invention
and contrivance, and it is fail
ure.
Calling La Toilette a copper
head is likely to give false i'm
preston. If his head were COM
posed of copper it would have
some actual value.
The grand dukes have ap-
pointed a committee to investi-
gate and see if there is any dis
content in Russia. Now isn't
that just like a Board of Alder
man?
We are told that no one in
Germany but the kaiser rides in
an automobile sporting the lux
ury of rubber tires, which shows
how they are still keeping the
auto in autocracy.
1t may be true that Colonel
Roosevelt has not enjoyed the
sight of one eye for many years,
but no adversary, SO far as we
know, has ever been lucky enough
to get on his blind side.

HUGE BUILDINGS FOR
OFFICES At WASHINGTON

Washington, d. Cone of the
manifold problems presented by
the war is that of furnishing ade-
quate Soffice accommodations for
the. thousands of additional Of
sficiais, clerk and other federal
: servants who are pouring into
Washington: The government is
exercising its prerogative in this
direction and has commandeered
conveniently located office build
ings and apartment houses with
a free hand. In addition, it is
erecting huge temporary struc-
lures for use as offices, and in
the building of these contractors
are breaking time records for
construction work. A building to
house the 600 officials and clerks
OF the Council of National De-
tense, containing more than 1OO,-
900 square feet of floor space,
was erected and fully equipped in
fifty-three days. Similar build
ings nearby are for the use of the
forces of the Food Administra-
ton, Fuel Administration, and
Army Ordnance. Work is we'll
under way on a mammoth struc-
ture which will cover three city
blocks to house the overflow of
the War and Navy Departments,
the contract for which calls for
completion in four months.
By these methods the govern
ment keeps in advance of it's ac-
tual needs. At the present rate
of increase the usual $4,000 fed
eral employees in Washington
will be more than doubled if the
war continues another year.
Workers of all kinds are being
appointed, stenographers and
typewriters and craftsmen for the
service generally, and what are
known as schedule clerks, index
and catalogue clerks, clerks quail
flied in statistics or accounting,
and clerks qualified in business
administration for the Ordnance
Department OF the Army, being in
great demand.
Representatives of the federal
civil service commission at the
post offices in all cities are the
official recruiting agents for the
great civilian army, an army Of a.
half million behind the men be-
hind the guns.

MISSOURI THURSDAY, november IS 1917
FRUIT CAKE FoR
ERANQlS MopERmQTT

Francis McDermott, a Missouri
Valley, Ia, soldier boy now serv-
ing with American troops in
France, is going to get nice
fruit cake if The Nonpareil can
give the Loose-Wiles Biscuit
company an address that will
reach the young patriot. Recent
ly the Nonpareil reprinted a let
ter written by McDermott from
Somewhere in France" to his
sister, heading the article "Ang-
ling for a Fruit Cake" The let
ter told a number of interesting
things about his experiences in
the war zone, but nearly every
paragraph had some allusion to
fruit cake and especially called
attention to the fact that fruit
cake was even better month
after it is made than when fresh
and that it's great keeping quail
tiles made it just the thing for
sending by parcel post to the SOL
dier.
An agent for the Loose-Wiles
people read the letter and sent it
to the central office at Kansas
City. McDermott's whimsical
plea for fruit cake appealed to
Sales Manager Wachtel and he
has written The Nonpareil for
definite address which will reach
McDermott, promising that the
soldier shall have one of their
best fruit cakes. The Nonpareil
will be able, it believes, TO furnish
McDermott's military address

FARMERS INVENT a
WAY TO DRY CORN

Modale, Nov. 8.-Several sys-
TENS of ventilation for corn cribs
are being invented and tried out
in This vicinity, as the corn is
very damp, being about 25 to 27
per cent moisture.
Possibly the best one is to dis
tribute about four rows of drain
tile endwise through the crib,
leaving as large joints as possible
and saving holes i'm the ends of
the crib where the Tile lay. This
will work wonders with crib of
wet corn.
The warm weather of the past
week is drying the corn in the
fields but is poor weather for corn
in cribs.

Pres. Red Cross Society.

",
Dear Madam: am writing you
to try to show my very high ap-
preciation OF your motherly kind
ness toward us yesterday. If God
was so kind TO you as to open
your eyes to look into ones heart
and you would look into mine,
there you would see an inspired
heart to go and go until God shall
say that I've gone far enough and
shall call me to his home.
I've never had such kindness
shown TO me since left my dear
sweet mother and was just begin
ming to think that no one cared
if | fought and died, but now you
all have made me see the light,
and as sure as there is a God to
give me strength, will be willing
to sacrifice every drop of blood
i'm my body for such women as
you all and cause that is right
and just Every man made a sa-
red vow last night that your kind
ness would be paid even with our
lives and always remember that
if you should pass at amy time to
the great land of which we know
nothing, that you will wear a
great star i'm your crown, for sure
ly God is in your hearts. Now
we will go forth fighting and
praying and always bear in mind
that when we fight, thoughts of
your kindness shall make giants
of us and we WILL WIN, in the
name of God and Uncle Sam, we
will win.
Please accept these words of
appreciation from one who will
always be in debt to the good peo-
pie of Mo. Valley. Yours for Old
Glory's sake,
ROBT. III. BURNEY.
