Men Welcome
Mothers Friend

The husband is often worried over
the condition of his wife during her
period Of expectancy. The, thought
that he is helpless to relieve her phys
ical suffering and discomfort causes
him great distress.
Mothers Friend" is safe ex-
ternal lubricant which penetrates to
the fine network of nerves beneath the
skin of the abdomen. It has a marked
tendency to relieve the muscular
strain to which these broad, fat abb
dominal muscles are subjected.
If husbands will secure for the ex-
pectant mother bottle of Mothers
Friend" from their druggist, they will
find that they have aided to very
great degree in relieving much of the
discomfort during pregnancy and
pain at the crisis.
The mother should apply Mothers
Friend" every night and morning,
right up until the time OF giving
birth to the child. BY aiding nature
in its prenatal work the mother will
experience much less pain.
Every mother should have the free
book prepared for users of Mothers
Friend" 1t concerns her health and
well-being during and after the crisis.

Iowa did It's part with men and
money in the civil war, and IL the
state does as well in this war with
Germany, it will spend millions and
send armies of men.
The records show that the state ap-
propriated $500, 900 for the civil war
and the wealth of the commonwealth
is at least ten times as great today.
This would mean, if the state KEEP

LOTS OF CORN
RAISED HERE
Lee County Did Its Bit Last Season
In Raising Crops-To Do
More This Coming
Year.

That Lee county has a large share
of the work of supplying the food
of the nations. a mighty question
now, Is demonstrated by the county
auditors county crop report for the
past year, as compiled from the re-
turns of the township assessors.
Over million bushels Of corn came
from Lee county, corn leading the
list. Barley was a favored grain.
1t is noticeable that the potato yield
of the county is small, and can
easily be increased many fold this
year. The yield per acre over the
county was comparatively small. and
can be materially raised this year.
In Madison township, which includes
Fort Madison, there were only nine
acres last year. but those nine acres
raised 575 bushels.
Following are the totals for 1916:
Corn 49,140 acres, 1,191 ,504
bushels.
Oats-19,266 acres, 403,833 bushels.
Winter wheat-4,904 acres, 52,796
bushels.
Spring wheat-s7 acres, PIT
bushels.
Barley-2s5 acres, 5,3sS bushels.
Rye-6,669 acres, 56.0s2 bushels.
Hay--35,141 acres, 41,227 tons.
Wild hay-17 acres, 80 tons.
Alfalfa-355 acres, $50 tons.
Potatoes-100 4 acres, 1926
bushels.

as great the number would be about
100000 men.
1t is doubtful If this number will be
called for, but If 100000 men are
raised, Iowa will be expected to furn-
ish one-fiftieth of them or 10000 men
With an army of 100000 which may
be raised before the war is over, Iowa
will be called upon for 10000.
There probably will be between g.
900 and 1000 men in the national
guard when it is recruited to full
strength, which is likely, and several
thousand men from the state in the
regular army and navy, which would
indicate that Iowa is to furnish about
10000 more men for the first army OF
100000, to say nothing Of the Sec
ond 100000 which would call for
10000 more, all raw recruits.

a crisis like the one through which
we are now passing, to lose the bene-

seeking better half are in danger
