The United States Department Of
Agriculture is urging the people Of the
country to plant quantities Of sorghum
cane this summer so that next winter
sorghum 'lasses" can be substituted
Tor sugar. In the early history Of this
country molasses made from sorghum
cane were universally used and served
admirably In every way in which sugar
Is now used. It seems probable In view
Of the cheapness Of the cane and the
high price Of sugar that this delecta-
BILE sweet will become very popular THIS
year.
The general planting Of cane would
necessitate the construction Of cane
mills, only few Of which are in exist
ence in the country at present. Some
of the grist mills will probably be
equipped to handle the cane II any real
need arises, as this could be done with
out any very extensive notifications.
The Agricultural Department is also
advising the more extensive planting
of fodder beans" or beans to be dried
and thus preserved for the winter.
More food stuffs Of all kinds will be
preserved this summer than ever be-
fore In order to combat the high cost
of living and insure a comfortable liv-
ing during the coming winter.

Patriotism is in the air! 1t is every
where! There never was time when
Marion county people stood as unit
on any proposition until President VIII
son declared state of war against
Germany and It is said to be the same
all over the United States There is
no differences Of opinion among those
who stop on the streets for little
chat or gather at places where men
congregate and discuss the happenings
Of the day. There is only one view and
that is that the United States is in
the war, that 1t must win but that the
defeat of Germany is not going to be
encountered without some effort and
some sacrifice.
There seems to be an impression on
the part of most Marion county people
that their associates are not taking
the condition with sufficient serious
ness. And yet the serious aspect OF
the war is first in each individual
mind! That phase Of the situation
is emphasized unwittingly by all who
discuss the matter at any length. The
sale Of Liberty Bonds now being ar
ranged for, the registration Of men
subject to service by the CONSUMPTION
law, and the Memorial day celebration
being arranged for Fairmont will serve
to increase the patriotic fervor of
Marion county people If such a thing
is needed. The headquarters Of the
First regiment Of West Virginia Ma
tional guard being located here has
been big factor in bringing home to
Fairmont people the seriousness Of the
war.
The number of volunteers for war
service from Marion county to date is

To prevent loss of articles shipped by freight over the government rail- road, an order has been issued that merchants and other shippers must not only mark the address on pack ages but must also number in them in order, the numbers on the packages corresponding with those on the bill of lading.
 This enables the freight clerks to check off the shipment as it is loaded on the train and discharged at point of destination, package by package, without delay.

All Iowa to Get Hog Cholera Aid.

The United States government
will aid in the work of suppressing
hog cholera in every part OF the
state. Decatur county has not suf-
fered much from this disease in the
past few years, and If any hog chol
era develops in the county, the hog
owners should get in touch with the
government officials at once.
j. S. Koen, federal inspector, with
headquarters at Des Moines, has is
sued the following announcement:
The work for the control of
hog cholera is to be extended On Sep
TENDER l to include the entire state
instead of just the % counties in
the past year. This extension Of the
work will necessitate the reGistrict-
ing of the state and the changing of
headquarters for some Of the i1spec-
tors. We will put inspectors over
the state in such way that it will
be possible for us to keep in touch
with outbreaks of cholera wherever
they may occur and assist each COM
munity in controlling the disease
and preventing serious losses
1--WE will continue the o-ganiza
ton of animal industry associations
as rapidly as time will permit. We
are anticipating the cooperation of
every one who is interested in the
live stock industry Of Iowa to assist
us this year in saving all the hogs
possible that we may thus aid in
bringing the war to speedy and
successful end.
1--WE are very grateful for the
hearty cooperation that has been
accorded us in the twenty-eight
counties, and we expect from them
not only support in each COUNTY but
that their influence will also be OK
tended to the new territory that they
may assist materially in successfully
inaugurating the work there.
The cholera situation is not
alarming in any of the twenty-eight
counties, yet there is sufficient to
cause each county, township and
school district officer to be constant
ly on his guard during the next few
months and to report early any out
break of the disease. Announcements
will be made of new districts and
the inspectors assigned to them as
readily as they can be arranged.
Every respectfully.

CIV was sitting beside Mr.. Strong on
the porch seat busily crocheting and
quietly talkln gto him. All at once
she says to him, "Mr. Strong, will
you please hold my crOcheting. ] am

as large as quart cup. He. very
clumsily held it until ! thought ]
would collapse. He held it unit she
came back, thanked him very much
and again sat down beside him.
Thinks l., to myself, he had better
be at home caring for his chickens
than firing the muscles of his arms
holding bunch of crochet that
could not possibly blow away: The
next day she created a sensation by
bitten her on the arm, but Mr..
Strong had forgotten all the remed-
les he knew SO could not tell her
what to do. / could not SEQ any
mark on her arm, only small spot
like a mosquito would make. They

Vile here this week. Had a good

Iowa Gold Mines.

Gold production in the United
States, Including Alaska, last yea1
totalled S92,O00,O00, with twenty
one states contributing
Iowa was not one of the twenty
one and consequently did not con-
tribute to the s92,0O0,000. Yet in
truth Iowa is the greatest gold pro-
ducing state of the union.
Iowa's gold production this year
if frost holds off until October, will
amount to about 100000, over
three times that listed by the geo
logical survey.
Not only that, but Iowa's offering
which is golden corn, is much more
useful that the mere gold bullion
corn and products similar to it, are
what make gold bullion valuable
All the gold bullion in the world
would not be enough to buy the con-
tents of one granary of corn, if that
represented years grain produc-
ton for the world, while the failure
to produce an ounce of gold bullion
anywhere in the world would have
scarcely any effect upon the value OF
corn.
And then again, Iowa will go on
producing gold long after all the
gold mines of the world have been
worked to exhaustion. The gold
mines of Iowa can be renewed from
year to year, as long as we continue
to have rainfall and sunshine.-Des

over the spring since the flood last
year 1t is much nicer than the old
one but not so picturesque. The
new suspension bridge across Rock
Creek is further down the creek
than the old one. The present one
crooks your back going up and your
arm chair is just half way between
the bridge and the bromide springs.
Mr.. Strong said he had been in
many an old arm chair but never In
the Devils. Guess this had been an
old we'll walled up with cement, part
of which has been broken OF and
left it looking the way it does. At
least l thought it looked like an old
