DISTINCT GERMAN FLAVOR
British View Of Peace Proposals From
the Vatican.

London Aug. 16.-"These so called
terms have distinct German flavor"
This reply was given IN an authorita-
tive quarter in London in reply to a
question in regard to the Vatican pro-
posals.
The opinion was expressed that the
inspiration for the peace move prob
ably emanated from Austria and was
in the nature of trial balloon. as a
prelude to more definite propositions
from the central powers.
The peace pron'lnciamento of Pope
Benedict was an entire surprise to
the British public. Whether or not
1t was a surprise to the government
cannot be learned.
The popes offer did not even con.
stitute a newspaper sensation. While
some afternoon papers gave it their
largest headlines others printed it
merely as a paragraph among the

According to daily press ac-
counts many residents of north
ern Iowa are laughing them
selves into ''convulsions" over
the success of a large party of
Mason City, Iowa, wet adherents
in smuggling a large quantity of
booze into bone-dry Iowa recent
ly. Upon their return from a
certain wet Minnesota town,
motor hearse was leased and a
funeral procession organized as
the means of getting past Iowa
officers who are "picketing" the
state line. The Souix City Tri-
Dunes account states that the
casket was filled with liquid re-
freshment of the kind that make
men beat their wives and see
pink elephants. The "mourners'
cars were we'll stocked. Then
the procession, composed of some
Is or 80 automobiles, moved
solemhly toward the state line.
AS the procession neared the bor-
der the cortege moved slowly.
Members of the party assumed
a solemn mien. They fairly
eXuded grief. The ministerial
appearing person in the front
car appeared so sanctimonious
that crepe could have added
nothing to his generally detected
and downcast spirit. Arriving at
the state line the enforcement
officers sized up the solemn par
ty, uncovered their heads and
bowed. and the procession moved
on unmolested. So complete was
the air of gloom and sadness that
1T is said the officers even shed a
few tears of sympathy for those
who so vislbly suffered, not stop
ping to inquire the, name of the
dear departed. Once the gaunt-
let was safely passed, so the
story goes, the pent up spirits
liquid and otherwise-were re-
leased. The sadness quickly de-
parted and gloom and bottles
were scattered along the way.
There has been indignant denials
of the story, but if it is not true.
the Mason City liar has got in
his work. Mason City is widely
credited with being the home Of
a budding genius. The border
enforcement officers are the
goats of the seasons best booze

SAVE THE HAY

The following letter from the
Stock Yards National Bank of
South St. Paul, was addressed
the First State Bank of Askov:
Gentlemen:s
The facing of present condi-
tons in the food supply, and pro-
viding against the possibility of
disaster in the years that will
follow, has been brought to our
very close observation during
the past thirty days, as our Off
GERS have just finished automo-
bile trips thru Montana, North
Dakota and Minnesota. Contin-
ued hot weather and hot winds
and no rains have caused a ire
mendous shortage of feed. Many
hundred head of cattle, consist
ing of two-year-old heifers and
cows have already reached this
market, and many more will fol-
low on account of the present
shortage of feed and no hay to
put up for wintering.
We know you can realize what
community will suffer where
live stock will be completely
shipped out, and we ask your CO.
operation in aiding us to have
every spear of grass that can be
used for hay cut this season. We
know you can emphasize this fact
to your farmers, and if you Nave
any hay that might not be cut
this year see that it is, as many
acres of hay were left uncut
last year and a great many cat
tie died this spring for lack of
feed. Hay sold three weeks ago
in Miles City, Montana. at $4,000
per ton and was hard to procure.
If you have a surplus in your To-
calitv. upon advice from you or
your customers we will be glad
to assist them in disposing of
same, as we know of many pla-
ces in certain sections of the
country where the stock is being
fed on last years straw. The ST.
tuation is very serious, as you
know. Heifers and cows should
not be sent to the market and
with your help we could do much
to benefit sections where drought
has made feed impossible.
Thanking you for your coop
GRAFTON. we are.
Yours very truly.
Jay E. Markle, Cashier.
