for by our District authorities
Above is given a map outline Of our County
showing the actual purchases Of these bonds made
by each township, village and city The plan Of
selling these bonds in our County, adopted by the
authorities was the one known as the Township

a careful study of the results readily demon

with energy and enthusiasm. The northwest, as q

had been made quite extensively that our people
were Prot German. The enormous sales obtained

people were not in sympathy with the war, nor ap-
parently aware of its great significance to the
World and our Nation, but, hardly without an ex-
ception, the splendid work Of the solicitors has
tended to enlighten the people, and today the
great part OF our citizens are intensely loyal and
enthusiastic in the support Of Uncle Sam and her
Allies
In examining the subscriptions Of the different
townships, villages and cities shown by the above
map, care should be taken not to judge too hastily
but rather to consider in your estimates, first the
probable wealth Of the respective townships, crop
returns for the season Of 1917, actual value Of
land and it's producing ability, amount Of waste
land etc. Such scrutiny as this will enable all to
see how Loyalty the majority Of the County has re-
sponded to this call
In point Of population and area the little town
of Boxville, with a subscription Of S. 10000, has
won the banner. The largest subscription Of any
individual township was made by the splendid
town Of Sinnott, with a total Of $13,O0O.OO The
respective town boards Of these two townships
certainly did wonderful work and have won the
two United States flags that will be presented to
them by the writer hereof in appreciation Of their
splendid efforts. Honor mention should also be
made of many other townships in the central
western part and also IN the eastern part Of our
County, but not wishing to discriminate / must
leave this to the Judgment Of our people.

ALKAL MAKES SOAP
BAD FOR WASHING HAIR

Most soaps and prepared sham
poos contain too much alkali
which is very Injurious, as it dries
the scalp and makes the hair
brittle.
The best thing to use is Just
plain mulsified cocoanut oil, for
this is pure and entirely grease
less. It's very cheap, and beats
the most expensive soaps or any
thing else all to pieces. You can
get this at any drug store, and a
few ounces will last the whole
family for months.
Simply moisten the hair with
water and rub It in, about a tea
spoonful is all that is required.
1t makes an abundance of rich,
creamy lather, cleanses thor
oughly, and rinses out easily. The
hair dries quickly and evenly, and
is soft, fresh looking, bright,
fluffy, wavy and easy to handle.

FARMERS Government

, binary person and seems destined
to an unequalled career in nation
|al politics.
His name is A. C. Towniey. He
is SO and used to till a farm near
the town of Beach in the western
part of the state.
All of a sudden, four years ago,
he was ruined by a manipulated
fall in the price of flax.
This started him thinking.
II seemed to him clear as
day that the only reason
farming didn't pay was be-
cause of artificial conditions
brought about by government
conducted by the interests
and laws made i'm their favor.
The only way to remedy this
was to put the government into
the hands of the farmers and
workers, the vast majority Of the
population.
So he hit upon the plan of a
political organization that should
not interfere with any mans party
lprejujdices but should still enable
the farmers to get hold of the
machine.
When he started for q farmer
he never let go till he got him.
He went on foot from farm to
farm, explaining, arguing, outlin-
ing, and getting subscriptions.
In about two months he had
enough members signed up to
have an executive committee and
officers; also to have other organ
izers in the field.
That was in March, 1914. When
snow fell in 1915 he had 10000
enrolled members at So each, had
started the leagues weekly news
paper and had 100 organizers
driving over the state in automo-
biles the league owned.
He is the leagues president;
also its general manager. He
keeps 1t out Of trouble and fur
nishes the pep.
When the time came for the first
battle with the entrenched gang
they thought they would go out
and play horse with this raw ap-
prentice. He gave them the jolt
of their lives.
When he got through with
them they looked like pikers
and he looked like the old
experienced field marshal,
and that beats anything 1
have ever known i'm 80 years
of close observation of poll
tics.
He is one of these thin, why,
tireless men, with thin lips, a pow
erful jaw and cold blue eyes.
You could no more rattle him
than you could rattle a tomb
stone.
He's Ability PersOnified
He can make a cracking good
speech, write stuff that seems to
burn the paper, carry all the work
and affairs and details of the
league in his head, think out a
good scheme about every three
hours, and in perfectly clean,
straight politics run circles around
almost any commander | ever saw
on the political field.
At the same time he has so lit.
tie vanity he ducks interviewers
and can't be induced to have his
picture printed or taken.

FORMAL
CHARGES

Formal charges denouncing
Chief Examiner ]. s. Ellsworth of
the civil service board as incom-
petent, inefficient and too old to
be of service in such an import
ant office, will be presented by
the city council to the civil SER
vice board, as the result of Tues
day afternoons joint conference
regarding the latest civil service
fight.
A public probe of Ellsworth
office and records will be made
by the city council Immediately.
The civil service board PROM
ised to investigate the councils
charges, and to remove Ellsworth
If the various accusations are
proved.
Enumerate Charges.
All four city commissioners, ex-
cepting Mayor Fawcett, attended
the meeting. Every one of them
charged Ellsworth with being un-
fit to handle the important duties
of the civil service office.
Each of them named instances
where Ellsworth had made gross
mistakes, had suffered lapses of
memory, and had allowed his rec
ords to become confused SO that
1t delayed municipal departments
in obtaining eligible appointees.
Dodipher Bunker. one member
of the board, offered to promise
the council that IL the civil SER
vice board were left alone for
a month, it would replace Els
worth by a younger and more
competent man in that time.
J. Fl. Holme, another member,
refused to GUST Ellsworth because
of any councilmanic complaints,
unless they were probed and
proved.
Won't Raise Salary.
The civil service board wanted
the council to raise Ellsworth's
salary to s125, instead Of cutting
It to $50, and to leave IL at that
figure until the tangle was
straighteied out.
The council declared that 1t
would not increase the salary I'M
til 1t knew definitely what the
board would do with Ellsworth.
Ellsworth was excluded from
the session.

GroWnups Go to School
to Learn the NeWfangled
Ways Of Running Farms

And they are all eager to crowd
into their six precious weeks as
much as possible of the knowledge
that has made farming a science
and business, instead of the hap
hazard occupation 1t used to be.
Retinue of Them.
The enrolment is larger than
last year, and just about as large
as the station is equipped to han
| die at present, according to Supt.
W. A. Licklater.
In the poultry department es-
pecially, Mr.. and Mrs. George e.
Shoup are put to 1t to find jobs
enough In their henhouses to go
around the 80 seekers for practi-
cal experience.
1t seems likely that the hens
| will have to get used to being
waited on by a retinue of attend
ants.
The dairy course will include
the study of breeds of cattle,
stock judging, systems of feeding
and management, the handling of
cows, diseases, first aid in emer-
gencies, etc.
Lectures Mixed In.
Any COW that is thoughtless
enough to get sick during the
term will undoubtedly be killed
with kindness, as not a pupil in
the dairy class will be willing to
miss such a chance to practice.
The horticultural students will
have a chance to prune and graft
any spray trees and vines, pack
apples, etc.
And the practical work will be
alternated with lectures, study
periods and recitations, on every
thing from soils, fertilizers and
feeds, to markets-greatly to the
relief, no doubt, of the cows and
hens. 1t must be very embarrass-
ing to be the subject of intensive
study.
