A BAD CHANCE ron MISSOURI
VAElEY..

The Northwestern is proposing
to change the time of Sioux City
train Number 8, which arrives
here from Omaha at $50 a. M,
running it around the "Y'' and
not back into the station at all;
in other words, pass us up like a
tramp, as they are doing with
several of the trains to and from
Sioux City Other changes are
also contemplated, which, if they
are put into effect, will make
Missouri Valley a flag station,
nearly If the depot is in the
wrong place to have these trains
stop here, let's get busy and have
the railroad company put the de-
pot down on the w" where it
belongs. 1t could be placed on
the west side Of the track 80 that
trains from all directions could
stop at the depot without having
TO lose the time of backing in
here. Now is the time to get
busy before the change is made,
as it will be twice as hard to get
it changed back after the change
is once made.

WEEKLY BULLETIN or TINE
IOWA WEATHER AND CROP
SERVICE.

For the week ending May 4,
1917. The week was cold, cloudy
and wet, there being an average
daily deficiency of about i2 de-
grees in temperature and large
excess of precipitation. Snow
fell on the 26th and 28th and
freezing temperature was record
ed over the greater part of the
state on one or two mornings. It
was too cold for much growth of
vegetation, and the frequent and
heavy rains have delayed farm
work, though considerable prog
ress was made in some localities
in blowing. The rains, however,
have been beneficial to small
grain and grass and will prove to
be of great benefit to all other
crops as soon as warm weather

Liquor Detrimental to Success In
Mar

To the Hon. w. R. Green, M. c.,
Washington, d. c.:
We, the undersigned citizens
Of Missouri Valley, assembled to
consider the drink problem in its
relation to the general welfare of
our country in peace and, in war;
|dO affirm that it is the greatest
known curse to man in his every
endeavor, civic, social, industrial
and political; debasing his man
hood, destroying his efficiency,
and demoralizing his whole being.
And whereas, it has been the ex-
perience of all times, that the
use of intoxicating liquor among
soldiers, in service on the battle
field or in camp, has proven det-s
rimental alike to their valor. to
their usefulness and to their
success in the service of their
country; therefore be it
|. Resolved, That it's manufac-
lure, sale and use should be pro-
Inhibited in the United States, as a
war measure, during the impend-
ing International crisis and
whatever military campaigns may
follow in any part of the U. S. or
among our troops in any foreign
land, as the most effective means
of maintaining the morale of our
soldfe1y, promoting their health
and increasing their efficiency,
stacle to their success in their
defense of human liberty and
universal democracy and for
better humanity than the world
has ever yet known. Therefore
we are resolved to petition you to
use your utmost endeavor to
prevail upon Pres. Wilson to use
his power as Commander in
Chief. of the Army and Navy, to
prohibit its manufacture, sale or
use of intoxicating liquor by both
soldiers and civilians during the
period Of the impending war and
to condemn it as contraband
wherever found, that the ra-
tionale and efficiency of our
citizens and soldiers may be
brought to the highest possible
Standard, and all our people
made better. able to meet the
awful crisis whereunto we are
called by Divine strategy. in the
great conflict now upon us.
Respectfully submitted by the
citizens of Missouri Valley in
mass meeting of this date.

THE RANKIN TEMPERANCE
TALK.

A. C. Rankin, known 10 MS all
for the past quarter of a century
as the moulder orator, because
he left his work as moulder in
the railway shops of Pittsburg,
Pa, thirty years ago to fight the
liquor evil among his fellow
workingmen, made most fav-
orable impression on his hear
crs in his address in the First
Christian church here Friday
evening. His review of the whole
history of the conflict between
the temperance people of the
country and the liquor interests
was the most complete and in
structive bit of historical infor-
nation ever given on the sub
ject. His analysis of the domi-
mating designs Of the liquor men
in all lands was a scathing ar
raignment of The enemies of good
government and decent citizen
ship.
supt. A. w. Graham presided
at the meeting, and all the min
listers of the town were. present,
giving it their moral and per-
sonal support. Before the adj
dress the resolution herewith fol-
lowing was presented by A. H..
Sniff, and unanimously adopted
and ordered presented to the Hon.

this district, and now sitting in

ALL ABOARD ron ACRE conn
Cl III

Harrison county should have
ut least 400 hoys enrolled in the
acre corn contest. In most cases
competing in the contest doesn't
mean much extra work. Most of
the boys will he working with
corn anyway and it will be a
small matter to stake out prize
acre for the contest. 1t will form
an excellent seed plot from which
to pick seed for next year. That
alone would make it worth while.
The educational value cannot
he overestimated. Many boys in
the state have been in the corn
work for three consecutive years,
or four, and they have found
much to learn each year. Many
OF them have become expert corn
raisers and their services are in
demand al corn shows and insti-
tutes.
Corn planting starts next week.
Those boys who have not made
up their mind to join the club
should do SO at once. As soon
'as boy sends his enrolment
card. which he can get from the
county leader, C. w. Hammans,
the corn circular will he sent
from the Agricultural Extension
Department at Iowa State Col
lege. This circular gives the
very latest and best information
in corn growing. Then when he
has planted his acre and sent in
his planting report, he will re-
ceive the Iowa club button, which
all club boys are proud to wear.
Hundreds of boys and girls in
Iowa have earned the right to
wear this button.
