resentatiOn was present and listened

per cent of the housewives during the
week of the final drive. Iowa women
expect Iowa to lead proportionately
when the canvass is over. The state
has more than 100000 housewives,
and in order to fulfill the pledge to
the United States Food Administra-
ton, the women of Iowa must enroll
at least 100000 housewives by Mon
day, November 5.
Canards Circulated.
Since the beginning of the organi-
cation work for the final drive many
ridiculous stories have been circulat-
ed concerning the pledge. Many wom-
en- have feared to sign it, under the
impression that the government would
seize their canned goods. Such stor-
les have been branded as false, as
they should appear to any intelligent
person, but the rumors still persist in
some sections. The real purpose of
the campaign is to impress on house
wives Individually the necessity of re-
ducing their consumption of wheat,
meat, dairy products and sugar and
substituting in their stead corn, rye,
fish, poultry and other products
which are abundant and which are
not needed for export at this time.
The War Mothers, sisters, wives and
sweethearts of the nation have been
asked to join in the canvass and have
accepted willingly. To each signer
will be mailed the Greed of the
Kitchen" and household membership
card which is to be placed in the front
window of every home. The patriotic
women of the community who are CIV
ing their time and effort to this work
expect to secure a signed pledge card
from nearly every housewife.

Misses Ethel Swanson and Bertha
Teal acted as hostesses to the high
school faculty Friday evening. For a
week the other members of the faculty
had tried to discover the secret of the
rhymed Halloween invitations which
had mysteriously appeared on each OF
their desks; but the girls had acted
their part SO cleverly that their most
intimate associates did not suspect
them. Not even at 1880, when the
guests were met at the Lincoln high
school building by sheeted figures,
were blindfolded and spirited away in
automobiles was the mystery solved.
1t was only when under ghostly guild
ance they found themselves at the
Swanson home, that the identity OF the
hostesses was revealed and incidental
ly that of the ghosts, Mrs. Arthur
Swanson and Miss Pauline Wisecar-
yer.
The guests were then ushercd into
rooms gay with orange and black
decorations, witches, cats and other
Halloween insignia and lighted by
iack-o- lanterns and candles. Needless
to say, that the evening was merrily
spent, games, ghost stories and con-
test furnishing the amusement, until
delicious refreshments were served
by Mrs. Swanson and Mrs. Arthur
