Letter From A. Il. Owen.

Willow Springs, Mo-, 1851.
Editor Reporter notice several
letters in recent issues Of your paper
from different parties living away in
regard to the slackers of Decatur
county and ] was quite surprise at
Irsome of the statements made. Yet |
have noticed from reports you have
published that Decatur county is
away in the rear both in furnishing
soldiers and buying Liberty Bonds.
There seems to be such a large per
cent of those drawn exempted on ac-
count of dependents | did not know
that so many were so poor in Deca-
tur county. OF course we feel some
what elated over the fact that our
county, Howell, has the distinction
of being one out of three in the
state and one out of only twelve in
the nation to furnish it's entire quota
OF volunteers, having furnished two
companies from the county and
bought more Liberty Bonds than any
county of equal population in the
state and over-subscribed the M.
G.. A. allotment more than three
times. ] sincerely hope Decatur will
wake up to the situation and yet
come out of it.

Trying to Work Up More Interest in
Dairying in Decatur County.

J. P. Ewes, representing the edu-
cational department of the Iowa
State Dairy Association, spent a
couple of~xlays in Decatur county
last week in the hope of interesting
the farmers of Decatur county in the
ARRANGEMENTS to ask the Chamber of
Commerce to take the matter up at
their next meeting and try and ar
range for a representation OF, farm
ers to attend meeting some time in
January, at which time, special
dairy representative would come and
explain the proposition in detail. De-
catur county is admirably fitted to to
in the state, as we have an album
dance of the finest pasture, in the
world, and there is no part OF farm
business, which will pay greater re-
turns than that of dairying.

An Ode to Decatur County:

On the clay hills of old Decatur,
Where the Stacker seems to thrive,
Where manure spreaders are more
valued
Than our soldier boys lives,
Where there are more exemptions
In proportion to the call,
Where they're short on nerve and
money
And long on gas and gall,
Where q. S. Bonds seem worthless,
Where the moneys in their sock
On the clay hills of Decatur
Sets the slacker/ with his knock.
