Attend State Defense Council.

John McCook and &. w. Reed attend
ed a meeting at Des Moines, the latter
part of the past week. of the County
Defense Councils. Every county in
the state except Mitchell was repre-
sented, and many matters of interest
were discussed. a..~
One matter Of great Importance to
our people was taken up and that was
the coal question. Col. French, chair
man of the industrial committee,
advised every member present to advise
their people at home to put in their
coal right now regardless of the price
as the situation later will perhaps be
hard to control. 1t is we'll for all who
can afford to buy their coal to do 80
now, as later a car shortage on account
of using them for var purposes will be
on, and serious situation may be the
result. & -, -~
Patriotic addresses were given by
Governor Harding, Judge Martin ].

Francis Whitley, of Webster City, head
-of the women's work on the state coun-
Gil, explained the work of the women.

Rural Route Changes On August 1st.

= g.
In response to petitions from patrons
on the various routes, The Postoffice
Department has ordered changes eftec-
tive August 1st on Routes l, 2, A, 5, and 6
out of Cresco. All these changes are
designed to give better service to more
patrons than the present service AT
fords. A very few who now have de-
livery at door will be compelled to go
short distances for their mail. but many
more now going from one.half to II
miles will have mail brought either to
their doors or to within short dis.
tance from them. In several cases
poorly kept up roads influenced the
changes to considerable degree, and
other changes may follow later where
roads are notoriously poor and uncared
for and where patrons show but little
interest in keeping roads passible for
carriers. The changes are as follows:
Route l will leave the present route
at the corner just west of Frank De-
Wales farm, thence east one mile,
thence north Z mile. rejoining the pres
ent line of travel just north of the "a.
P: Curtis place. re
Route 2 will not go through to Gran
ger, but will leave the present route at
the corner near John Bigalk's, follow
the present route to the Volkman cor
ner, thence east one mile to the school
house, thence south.1a miles to the cor
ner Just east of the Charles Curtis
place, thence west one mile to the W..
A. Stockman corner, thence north one
half mile, thence west one-half mile to
the present route near the John Rygg
place. 80. r. =" &l.
Route will leave the present route
at the corner one-mile east of the Joe
Haubrick place, thence south three
fourths mile to Joe Komarek's, thence
east II miles and resume present
route, going south on the county line
road. -.
Route 5 will leave his present roule
at the corner near the Slawson school
l
house and 60 north into Granger, de-
livering mail now carried by Carrier
No. 2. He will return from Granger
to the school house and 60 westover his
present route to the stone school house,
thence south one mile to the present
lline Of travel which he will resume and
! follow without further change.
1 Route will leave the present line OF
travel on the county line road just
north of the railroad track, and con-
tinue south to the corner just west OF
H.. j.. Webber's place, thence east one
mile, thence north II miles and resume
his present route at the Humphrey
corner. .tts
Patrons affected by these changes
should have their mail boxes in their
new locations on the morning of
August lst, or their mail will be re-
turned to the postoffice. -

C,.ss.vii.s or Fe,l, ,Sspely.

Housewives know that canning and
other means Of saving food for winter
days does . lot towards lowering the
grocery bill. Just at present we are
feeling the high prices more than ever
before. If the vast quantity of food
produced last year had al been saved
the situation would now be much diff
ferent. This is true any year. The
food problem needs attention now.
Saving by canning, drying and proper
storing are means of solving the stu

Whales.

Whales are able to attain such an enormous size because their bodies are supported by the water in which they live. A bird Is limited to the weight which it's wings can bear up in the air, A land animal. If 1t becomes too large, cannot hold its body off the ground or readily move about, and is doomed to certain destruction. But a whale has to face none of these problems and can grow without restraint.
 Because whales live in supporting medium their young are of enormous size at birth, in some instances the calf being almost half the length of its mother. I once took 25-foot baby which weighed about eight tons from an S5-foot blue whale.-Exchange.
