$537,3OO FOR LIBERTY /
IN WINNEsAIEk
Second Liberty Loan Subscribed to in
Fine Shape in This County and
Big Sum Given.
CITY OF DEBORAH
SUBSCRIBED $17O, 700
Other Towns and townships Re-
sponded i'm Grand Shape and
Made the Loan Here One
to be Proud of.

The second Liberty Loan cam
paign closed Saturday night and the
nation responded to the country's
call in a noble manner, and while the
exact figures are not available at this
writing, no doubt the loan will &c
over the $5,000,000,0O mark,
which is a credit to the nation and
its loyal people.
Wi1neshiek county people re-
sponded in a fine patriotic manner,
subscribing $537,300, and Chairman
R. Algyer of the Winheshiek Liberty
Loan Committee feels very happy
over the fine response.
Mr.. Algyer has been a very faith
full and efficient worker for the
cause and has handled the loan in
fine shape here. il appointing COM
mittees and looking after the many
details of the undertaking. Below we
publish letter from Mr.. Algyer in
which he thanks all for their noble
work in making the loan such sue
cess here. The different committees
and the four minute men are to be
commended for their patriotic work,
which they did so we'll.
October 20, 1917.
To the Citizens of Winneshiek Coun-
ty:
The sale Of the second great Unit
past and has proved a great success,
having been oversubscribed, nearly
doubled.
This was possible only through the
united efforts of our liberty loving
citizens. The wonderful results OBJ
tanned were due to the untiring and
unselfish work of speakers, solicitors,
newspapers, bill posters, religious
and educational organizations, musi-
cal and other clubs, and banks; none
of whom were paid one cent. 1t SEEM
ed like a Herculean task to sell three
billion bonds so soon after the first
issue but our .countrymen awoke to
the danger in which their gvernment
stood and nothing could stop them
till, approximately, five billion dol
lars was reached and the books of
the government closed.
New that it is over, people find
themselves unhurt; that they owed
to the government the subscriptions
they made, and that they have a
splendid investment; the entire is
sue of these bonds amounting to on
ly II % of one years income of this
country.
In future years, every one who
did his part and bought these bonds
with willing heart, to aid his coun-
try's cause, will feel the JOY that
comes to him who has not shirked
in time of need.
Undoubtedly, there will be another
issue in 1918, so we ask each one to
begin preparing to aid further the
government that has been so kind TO
us all and which, for sixty years, has
asked for no assistance. When the
next issue is offered, the Committee
hopes and expects every man, woman,
and child TO subscribe; thus showing
the world that we are united peo-
pie.
In conclusion, l want to thank, on
behalf Of the government, every
faithful worker for his unselfish and
resultful efforts.
Very truly yours,
R. Algyer, Chairman Winneshiek
County, Iowa Liberty Loan Com
mittee.

Government places the crop at 1,77O,- 900 tons, as against 1.463,O0O tons a year ago. Utah's production will all so reach new high record.
 Reports from 147 lumber mills of the Pacific Northwest indicate an average reduction during the month of August of 50 per cent below nor nal, with shipments averaging r percent. above actual production.
 Californias sardine pack for this year is estimated at 100000 cases and it is stated that at the present rate of increase the sardine pack for the state will in two years total over 2,500,OO cases which is the present pack of Maine.
 Petroleum production in California in August averaged 271,755 barrels daily, compared with 259,266 barrels in July. Shipments averaged 289,- 948 barrels daily, curtailing stored stocks 563,84O barrels.
 Utah has record yields of hay and potatoes as well as of sugar beets and in its mining output. The state is generally prosperous, as shown by its subscription for $9,700,000 Liber- ty Bonds, with a quota of only $6,- 500,000; and a Red Cross contribu- tion of $52O,OOO, with an original quota of $240,0OO, later increased to $350000.
 August bank clearings for twenty principal cities of this district increas- ed 3S percent. over the correspond ing month year ago, Ogden showing the greatest gain with 50 percent followed by Seattle with 5S percent and San Francisco with 50 percent.

With 10 year average of 87 percent for both oranges and lemons in Califor- nia, the September 1st Government report estimates oranges at 50 and lemons at 55.
 The 1917 raisin crop in California is estimated at 150000 tons, about 2S,000 tons more than last years pro- duction. About 3O,0OO tons will be of the Thompson seedless variety, 2O,- 900 tons of Sultanas and 100000 tons of Muscatels.
 About the middle of July hops were being contracted in this district at 10 cents per pound. Two months la ter AZ cents was paid, sales in i'm portant volume being made at prices above g cents. These are the high est prices since 1911 when 42 cents was reached, and are due both to greatly decreased acreage and to the conviction that Congress will not i'm stop the brewing of beer. The 1917 hop crop of the coast is es- timated at 125,OOO bales as compared with about 2SO,O0O in 1915.
 In one of the dry" states on this coast, one important concern brews beer in the usual manner, then ex- tracts all alcohol by centrigual pro cess, denaturizing the alcohol and dis posing of it as a by-product. The taste of the beer is said not to be operating at capacity.
 Due to an increase of about 20 per cent over last year, and to favorable weather conditions, it is thought the sugar beet crop of California will reach a new high record this year. The September 1st forecast of the

ADMINISTRATION FAILS
To RUSH Rail PROGRAM
Retarded by Newlands' Failure to Oh
tain Adjournment to Monday.

The administrations efforts to rush
through the Presidents railroad program
in the Senate were somewhat retarded
yesterday when Senator Newiands, in
charge of the legislation, failed in his
efforts to have the Senate adjourn over
until Monday. Senator Newlands had
planned for an adjournment of the Sem
ate to allow the Senate Interstate Com
merce Committee full working day to-
day in which to perfect the measures
and bring them before the Senate Mon
day.
Organized labor. led by Samuel Com
pors, aided by Progressive Republicans.
are making a fight on the administra-
TONS plans and are expected to tenn
porarily block the immediate considera-
ton of the program. The Progressive
Republicans openly declare their purpose
to conduct a filibuster against the meas
ure, but the administration appears to
have sufficient control OF the Interstate
Commerce Committee to insure a ma
jority vote for the bill to make strikes
or lock-outs unlawful for a period Of four
months pending investigation. The hebt
will then 90 to the Senate door.
