ABOUT THE COUNTY
VOLGA

From the Tribune:
Word has been received from Rev.
j. b. Van den Hook, pastor of the
Christian Reformed church in this
city, that he is greatly improved in
health. He is spending his time at
the home and farm OF his son, Tony.
near SanbOrn. Iowa. He expects to
be able to return home the first part
of next month and resume his church
work about the ninth.
A large number of people from
Volga and vicinity went to Bookings
last Friday to take in the Hobo Day
doings and all report an interesting
day. The parade in the forenoon was
enjoyed by all and the football game
attracted many. State college de-
feated the North Dakota Aggies by a
score Of 81 to IA, which is a matter
of satisfaction to everyone in this sec
ton. "Chuck" Dalthorp played a star
game Saturday and his membership
on the team of course added interest
to the people from this locality.
Station Agent Swartling of Sinai
went to the Twin Cities last week to
have his eyes attended to. For some
time he has been having considerable
trouble with his eyes and now hopes
to be relieved. George Fairchild, of
Perkins, Iowa, has had charge of the
station during Mr.. Swartling's alb
sence.
Peter Erie and wife, of Brookings
We're recent visitors at the home OF
Mr.. Erie's cousin, II. b. Nelson, in
Sinai. While Mr.. Erie at one time
lived in Sinai township, this was his
first visit to the township in "a years
what do you think of that? No fur
Their away than Bookings, and not
here for "a years.

VEGETABLES ROT

Hundreds Of Freight Cars Load

lowed To Stand Unemptied In
Freight Yards Of Chicago

CHICAGO, November A. Associated
Press While the country is being
urged to conserve it's foods and>efforts
are being made to reduce the costs OF
necessities for the table, several hun.
bred carloads of vegetables have been
permitted to rot in freight cars in the
ear yards Of this city. Investigation OF
the causes which led TO such waste
has been ordered and is already in prog
ress.
Deliberately allowing these vegel
tables to go to waste is charged by the
detectives who are investigating the
loss Of this large supply of food stuffs.
They said yesterday that they had al,
ready secured evidence that made them
feel convinced that the shipments had
been held back for the purpose Of Sc.
curing higher markets by the creating
of an artificial shortage and in other
instances allowed to rot that those hav.
ing stocks on hand already might not
have to put them ont at lower price
than has been prevailing. ,.l..
The food controllers said that If def
mite evidence can be secured of this
prosecutions will Immediately follow.

NEED OF ITALY
BEST MET BY
WAR ON AUSTRIA
Official Dispatches Tell United
States Declaration of Hostiii;
ties Would Be important Aid
TO Italy

WASHINGTON, November 4-(Asso.
ciated Press)--1f the United States Is
to come 10 the aid Of Italy in her pres
emit great difficulties the best aid which
can be offered<will be a declaration Of
war against Austria. Hungary. This was
the burden Of an Official message which
reached here yesterday from the Ital.
ian front. II followed upon the heels
Of the request Of the National Defense
Society which had urged the President
in set of resolutions passed by It's ex.
ecutive committee to call congress to.
gether in special session for the purpose
of making such a declaration Of war,
pointing out some OF. the complications
that may arise if efforts be made to aid
Italy in advance Of such action.
The United States is not ostensibly
Mt war with Austria but Is at war with
the ally which gave that nation such
important assistance against an Ally
Of the United States in the recent dis.
aster. This is the serious situation
which Italy is quick to recognize in its
hour Of peril.
General oadorna still holds intact his
northern and southern fronts along the
Tagliament river. His men are stand
ing steadily and bravely against the at.
tacks made upon those fronts by the
greatly augmented Teuton forces hurl-
ed against II in attacks directed toward
the breaking Of its resistance. Thus
far the German. Austrian troops have
not been able TO effect crossing de.
spite their strongly concerted efforts
The claims Of Berlin that the italian
forces had been driven back and the
Teutons held both banks are refhted
by the facts that were ascertained yes
terday. II is only in the center that
q crossing was effected and there Italy
now claims TO have checked the ad.
vance.
Attention turned Yesterday to the
Trentino front and indications are that
another and new offensive is coming in
that direction and an important battle
Is forecast.
The American Red Cross yesterday
notified the Italian government and the
Pope that II is sending a permanent
commission to Italy for the purpose of
alternating sufferings. S
