MORE BIG STOCK SHIPMENTS
EQUITY SENT OUT $4,000 SHIP
MENT SATURDAY.
Twenty-Eight Cars Shipped Out Over
Rock Island Past Week.

When it comes to big and valuable
stock shipments Winneshiek county
certainly will be well up in the lead
of any county in the state. Last week
28 cars of stock was shipped out over
tho Rock Island. The Equity Society
shipped 22 cars. Saturday was one OF
the biggest days the Rock Island
yards ever had. Nearly 400 head OF
cattle were taken in and loading had
to be started in the middle of the af-
ternoon, as the yards wouldn't hold
all the stock. II cars of cattle, OF
hogs and one Of sheep was shipped
by the Equity. valued at about $50
900. Manager Waters and assistants
were kept on the jump until late al
night.
Courtney Bros. of Button town
ship, shipped three cars of cattle and
hogs.
Ole Evans shipped two loads of cat
TIC anu SHSSp.
At the Milwaukee yards 40 ship
ments went out, because the company
has been unable to furnish any stock
cars. For several weeks they have
been up against this proposition. The
Rock Island though seems to be furn-
ishing plenty of cars, as 27 loads was
shipped out Saturday night between
DEBORAH and Clermont, besides about
the same number out of DEBORAH.
Some three loads of cattle were at
the Milwaukee yards Monday, but no
cars to ship them. Ole Burreson, buy
er for Henry Reeves shipped out three
double deck loads last week.

THE FOOD PLEDGES.
People of DEBORAH Should Cooperate
i'm This Movement.

The government has started cam
paign for food pledges. There will be
systematic canvasses wherever pos
sible to persuade people to observe
wheatless and meatless days, and
save sugar and dairy products.
The people of DEBORAH should CO.
operate in this movement and IN
doubtedly they will But it is one of
those things in which everyone has
comfortable feeling that everyone
else is attending to it, therefore we
prsonally don't need to. The practi-
cal result of that attitude is that
nothing is accomplished.
AS long as the thing was simply a
matter of general agitation, only ex-
ceptionally conscientious people paid
attention to it, To secure co-opera-
ton and overcome popular inertia,
solicitors will have to be sent from
door to door 1t is surprising to see
how quickly the kickers and the
grumblers will fall into line when
some prominent business man or
pretty girl asks them to come across.
The reasonableness Of the thing
scarcely needs argument. Our coun-
try has an ample food supply. But
our allies have olly a short supply
of the leading food staples which
they are accustomed to and fitted up
to USE They haven't the machinery
to prepare corn for food. 1t is sim
ply common sense to send them
much of our wheat, and let us get
along more on corn and potatoes. A
man who would kick on. such nour-
ishing and appetizing food if well pre-
pared, ought to take his turn at the
canned "bully beef" of the trenches
and see how he likes it.
No doubt it is only a question
needing general agitation to secure
acceptance. Few people will decline
ito cooperate if asked. But it does
take the personal request by word Of
mouth to get such a thing done.

LETTER ON POULTRY.
DEBORAH Man Writes Boosting Egg
and Poultry Business.

DEBORAH, Iowa,
Nov. 1, 1917.
To Every Ernest Poultry Keeper:
The U. s. Government is boosting
poultry keeping far more than ever
before. Out of S2S0,000 appropriated
by Congress at Washington for boost
ing all kinds of stock raising (cattle,
sheep, hogs, poultry, etc., $14S,000,
more than half will be spent to in
crease poultry raising alone. And the
Government comes out strongly in
favor Of standard bred poultry and
against mongrels and cross-breds.
The American Poultry Association
at it's annual meeting at Milwaukee
prepared to assist the Government to
the appointed committees and
appropriated money. The U. S. Food
Administration is urging hotels, res
tauralts, dining cars and families to
use more poultry and eggs and less
beef, pork, ETC.. and these people are
doing it.
All this means that breeders of
standardized fowls have, right now,
a remarkable opportunity if they will
only grasp it, There is uIquestion
ably shortage in high class fowls of
the popular varieties This great pro-
gressive movement, with the U. S.
Government urging standardized

One of the incest individual contri-
buttons received by Treasurer Ben
Bear of the Winneshiek County Red
Cross was received by him last Sat
urday from Mr.. Seth Kelmier, chef at
the C. j. Weiser home. The donation
was unsolicited and certainly speaks
volumes for this gentleman. Mr.. Bear
feels that it is one of the incest con-
tributions he has received since he
has been connected with Red Cross
work and we agree with him, aid Mr..
Kelmier is entitled to lots of credit
for his patriotic and substantial offer
ing to this noble cause.

Atty. Carter and Wife Conserving
Food.


The following from the Ossian Bee
tells what M. j. Carter the we'll
known attorney, of Ossian, and his
good wife are doing to help Uncle
Sam in this great war. M. J. has even
given up his Havana, that is cuts his
cigar bill in two.
Every reader reads a great many
things on the patriotic duty of OBJ
serving wheatless days AID meatless
days, as a means of conserving the
food supply in order that the United
States may be able to furnish these
articles to our allies. Mr.. and Mrs.
NJ. ]. Carter have decided to put this
thought into practice for four weeks
at least. Every loyal American fam
lily could easily practice what is
preached in this regard. The Carter
family is small, consisting of the
two; nevertheless, to guard against
waste of all kinds these foods, which
the government is trying to. save, are
used sparingly on their table. Tues
day was meatless day and yesterday
was wheatless day, and M. j. Carter
promises his wife to cut his cigar
bill in half for those two days in each
week, each relying Oh the honor of
the other to carry out mutual prom

Planzike Animals for

Another step has been taken in tho

in this decoration was taken when

anything to say. By mere accident
1t came across an immense quantity
of this millinery supply. For several
years past tho big wholesale millinery
houses have been making a study OF
the jelly Ash plant in our waters. The
stuff has been found in immense beds
all along the Atlantic coast from
Maine to Florida. 1t is everywhere
superior to the article the big whole
sale milliners have been importing
from Germany--a sort of green stuff
commonly called sea weed" Recent
studies made by the fisheries bureau
show that other species of "jelly fish,
plants can be used for the same rur-
pose.
Most beautiful of all is the Ostrich
plume" delicate and elegant. which
is found on the Pacific coast. ii Is
wonderfully like an ostrich plume in
miniature. The so-called sea moss
of Germany has been utilized largely
for this purpose. but it is also sold TO
decorate hanging baskets.

to let the hair grow long it can be
curled and pinned UP during the heat

cate the cutting of the eye-lashe to
help them grow. but it has the ten
dency to make them coarse.
Certainly no boy should be made to
wear long hair after he is put into
trousers unless his mother wishes to
subject him to ridicule. The cut
ting of the finger nails should not be
overlooked; many children scratch
their faces and bite their nails be-
cause this part of the toilet is neglect j.
ed. They can be kept clean with a
small nail brush and n fine scissors.
The hang nails near to the skin should
always be cut off. for they oftentimes
make for real discomfort. The toe
nails should be cut straight across
and rounded at the corners. This will
keep the child from getting ingrown
nails.
