Jerome ShiIngledecker better
known to people of THE county as
Jay ishimgledecller, died at the
home of his sister, Mrs. A. l.
Ferguson, Tuesday morning August
21st, shortly before six O'Clock
While the news of his death is a
severe shock to the people general
ly, it was not unexpected to those
attending him. He had been i'm
failIing health since early in the
spring of 1915 when he submitted
to a SURGICAL operation. He received
some benefit, but remained a con-
stant sufferer.
He was able to take care OF
the postoffice at Gray until a few
weeks ago, when he came to this
city where Lowing hands did every
timing to alleviate his sufferings.

For almost 35 years he was a
resident of the county, during that
time he held many positions of
trust, ALL of which he filled with
honor and fidelity. He was a man of
exceptional business ability and
with this talent he devoted four
years of his time to the busi-
ness of the county.
Jerome Shingledecker was born ill
Cass county, Michigan, January 12,
lS4S, ait which place he remained
until early manhood. In 1872 he
went to California, staying three
years after which he returned to
Michigan. Here ON the End of
March 1882, he was united in mar
riage to Sarah Adams.To this union
were born two SONS, Clarence and
Louis Adams!
In 1883 the family moved from
Michigan and came to Audubom
county, Iowa, locating on a farm i'm
LEROY township, remaining there a
number of years. During this per-

WHEAT

AS a part of the organized ma

planted acreage of winter wheat i'm

special wheat agent for the fed
eral government, is im Extra and
will spend several weeks i'm this
vicinity for the purpose of determin-
ing as near as possible the acre
age of wheat which will be sown
this fall and do all possible to
increase the acreage to the max
imum
Mr.. Quist is one of the twelve
agents employed ON this work i'm
Iowa. The work these men are do
ing has been authorized by the
recently enacted federal food law,
the purpose of which, BROADLY speak
ing lis to make the country produce
every ounce of foodstuff possible.
There will be distributed through
out the country among all the
farmers, cards which they will be
asked to fill out, giving number OF
acres of winter wheat harvested
this season, amount they have for
sale, number of acres to be sown
this season. and the number of
acres which were winter KILLED dur
ing the past winter This card
when filled out will be put in
the hands of Gov. Harding. The
government has placed a minimum
price of So. ON number two hard
wheat.
According to Mr.. Quist if all
the winter wheat raised in Iowa
this season were to be used for
seed there would be only enough
to plant million acres. The nor
NAL acreage for the state of WIN
ter wheat is i'm the neighborhoo OF
| 500, 900 acres 1t will be READILY

there is likely to be a shortage OF

GREATEST FOOD PRODUC-

ntrdbutions to the success of the
armies fighting for world demo-
cracy.
The grand totad of Iowa's pro-
duction this year never will be
known, according to the Association
statement. In every city and town
in Iowa, back yards and side
yards and i'm many, many instances,
front yards have been growing po-
totoes and beams and beets and othe
garden truck. Owing to the act
i've campaign of the State College
|of Agriculture there Will be no
waste or overproduction of this var
iety of foods.
The canning clubs have put
hundreds of thousands of dollars
worth of vegetables onto pantry
shelves, for use during, the winter
months While am effort has been
made to guess at the amount OF
foods so grown and conserved, it
lis obvious that an accurate figure is
| utterly impossible. 1t was estimated
that the garden truck grown in
Iowa i'm 1916 was valued at $4,000
600. The approximate figure TO
Ial917 will be $40, O,OOO-or AN in

In 1916 Iowa produced approximate

And if Iowa should produce 24O,

NORWAY.S FIRST VESSEL BUILT
OF IRON AND CONCRETE
RIGHTS HERSELF IN WATER

A Christiania despatch to the
Times says the first Norwegian
iron and concrete ship was launch
ed yesterday at the Parsgund Co
ment Works. The ship DIS built on
am entirely new system, with the
bottom upwards, i'm which extraor-
dinary position the launching took
place ON a sort of underlying
sledge which glided out with the
ship. When the water was reached
the hul became detached from the
sledge and gradually sank up to a
certain point; then subsequently,
slowly righted itself
This particular ship, which is of
200 tons burden, was built inl three
weeks, but the next will only re-
quire about half that time, as the
original frame will be used for
each subsequent ship Of the same
size. 1t is ilntended to- START the

business pursuit until 1912 when
he went to Texas. After two years
spent i'm Texas he returned to this
county and located in Gray. He
was soon there after honored by
being appointed postmaster at Gray
and held that position of trust
until forced to give up the work
because of failing health.
EARLY i'm the spring of 1915 he
entered the Jennie Edmundsen hos
pital at Council Bluffs for an oper-
alton. Since then his health has
been frail. He suffered constantly
but bore his TRIALS bravely and
most patiently untics' the angel of
death relieved him of his suffer-
ings.
He leaves to mourn his untimely
death, his wife, two SONS; Clarence

He was a devoted husband and a
kind and indulgent father; to his
sisters, tender brother, and to
his friends the soul of fellowship.
But the greatest of all, he was a
man. And as a man it is that those
who knew him best most love to
contemplate him. He believed that
