REV LOEHR RESIGNS
WILL QUIT osKALoosA PASTOR
ATE ON SEPTEMBER

Had shell from the contending war
front in Europe dropped into the
midst of the congregation seated in
the First Reform church Sunday morn
ing, surprise and CONSERVATION could
not have been more complete, than
Rev. Clement Davidson Loehr in pre-
senting his resignation, to become eff
fectiVe on or before September First,
1917. Pastor and Congregation have
been on the best of terms and his
work has been success in Oskaloosa
during the five or more years of his
pastorate here. Mr.. Loehr has had the
charge under consideration during a
year or more, as other things have
been offered him or have opened to
him. He now has several openings
from which to choose and believes the
change to be the best thing for all
concerned.
Announcement of the resignation is
received with keen regret, not upon
the part of the church membership
alone but by the people of OskaIoosa
in general. Mr.. Loehr has been a lead
er, a man of pronounced public spirit,
ready to stand in defense of propo-
sition as he saw it and a man gener-
ally useful in the community, positive
and aggressive and a dependable
worker. He has served the public in
a variety of ways and is now secretary
Of the Oskaloosa Ministerial associa-
ton.

HOW TO MAKE SUN DRlERs.

Plans for a home made, storm
sash" sun drier, which has proven en-
tirely successful in drying rhubarb,
apples and other products, have been
worked out by f. L. Overley of Iowa
State college, who is conducting dry
ing experiments at Ames. The cost
of the drier need not exceed from 81
to IS. 1t is made as follows:
Build box frame of Ike in. boards
of size to allow storm sash or hotbed
sash to fit firmly on top. Bore large
vent holes close to upper edge on
sides and ends of frame for air circu'
lation. Cover bottom and holes with
screen wire. Nail legs, made of 1x4
in. material, to frame corners. Make
legs for one end in. longer than
other and all long enough to raise
frame 10 or more inches from ground
Nail narrow strips on inside to hold
8 drying trays. Trays are also wood
en- frames, made Il to 2 inches deer
and bottoms covered with heavy
mesh galvanized wire or hardware
cloth. Trays are made to fit loosely
inside frame so they may be removed
for filling or in bad weather. In dry
ing, place frame in direct sun, slopine
toward south.
Experiments thus far show thai
rhubarb, cut into pieces, dries excel
lently in the sun drier, as do apples
Further experiments will undoubted
ly show that all vegetables and fruit:
that can we'll be cut into pieces, such
as tomatoes, pears and peaches, car

THE BEST OLD WAY.

The best old thing is to keep ones
heart,
Is to sing ones song and to piod
away,
ITO stand up straight and to do ones
part,
And to face Gods truth of the gold
en- day.
The best old thing is to speak no lie,
And to live no lie, but to toll ana
trust
In the love that smiles from the bend
ing sky
And paints with blossoms the utter
dust.
- Jest Old thing is to love and live
With the one sweet thought that
love is life,
And that he who has both with a VIII
to give,
Is a victor at last in the human
strife.

Desire For Speed In Enforcing

Washington, July 2.-The United
States unwittingly has been furnish
ing Germany with the foods she lacks
for successful prosecution of the war.
Fats in sufficient quantity to ra-
ton all of Germany's 100000 men
under arms are entering the Teu-
tonic empires from Holland and Scan
dinavia.
Holland and Scandinavia get these
products, directly or Indirectly, from
the United States. Hence, the adj
ministration's desire for speed In
enforcing the embargo authorized
by congress.
These fats contain 120 calories per
day for each individual In the Ger
man empire, or 6 per cent of the per
capita diet, according to the regula-
ton ration.
Herbert c. Hoover, food adminis-
traitor, made public the export figures
which have impelled the United States
to control shipments to these coun-
tries. The figures come from English
sources. They are regarded AS con-
sentative.
