Women Doing Mems Work.

One OF the most striking results of
the great war in Europe is the extent
to which women are doing the work
OF men. Travellers to England and
France report that practically every
able bodied man Ii In uniform. and
women by the thousands are engaged
in doing mems work--acting as con-
ductors and drivers on the cars and
doing all sorts Of heavy work besides.
This shows unexpected possibilities
in what has been mistakenly called tho
weaker sex. Women are subject to
ailments which men do not have. and
when so ailing become weak, helpless
sufferers. But remedy has been
found. For forty years Lydia e. Pink
hams Vegetable Compound has been
making such women well and strong.

Cold Has Hurt Corn.

Observations made over Des Moines
county, by County Agent Walker and
others the last week indicate that not
much Of this years corn will be crib
bed before about two weeks. The un-
usually cold, rainy weather the past
two weeks has been unfavorable for
the corn and has prevented drying. ac-
cording to these men. and much OF 1t
contains a large per cent Of moisture.
; Some favorable weather for three or
four weeks will aid materially in dry
ing out the crop for cribbing. If this
weather comes, there will be large
amount of fairly good corn and. on
the other hand. there is a large amount
Of 1t which is soft, which must be fed
to either cattle or hogs. as 1t will be
unfit to crib and will sell for low
price.

ships SD HOGS.

George Mcneil, one Of Boone county
most successful farmers and stock
raisers has just shipped from his farm
southwest Of the city 514 nice fat
porkers to Des MONIES getting s15.25
delivered or check for s1s.0s9.s0 for
the lott
In preparing to get the hogs. to the
station at Moingona, he had prob
lem which at first seemed hard of solu-
ton but after little figuring he had
things arranged. It was necessary to
build pontoon bridge across the Des
Moines river from his farm to the
other side, there he hit highway and
later the Northwestern station at
Moingona. Mcneil had two wagons
drawn down and pushed into the river,
then four wagon boAs were utilized. all
being rallied off by fence panels. this
afforded splendid pontoon bridge
over which the hogs walked without
even getting wet.
The afternoon was nearly holiday
in Moingona and there was good sized
crowd on hand to watch the work OF
getting the hogs over the river. After
the 514 had been transferred from the
east to the west side of the stream the
bridge was removed and business in
the valley again became normal

PAGE Mr.. IOWA PUMPKIN CROP.
Uncle Sam News His Help to Fssd
Armies This Winter.

Unless patriotic Iowa farmers get
busy, the faithful old Iowa pumpkin
will be condemned as a Stacker. Uncle
Sam has recently made a call on Iowa
for great amount of canned pump
kins to feed the armies. But just when
the pumpkins were needed most the
frost came along and wiped out most
of the supply. 1t is estimated that
Gamers of the state have been able to
can but 10 per cent as many as In
other years.
The call has gone forth to the farm
ers of the state to ship their available
stock to the canneries instead Of feed
ing 1t to stock this winter. The Iowa
farmer Is the only one who can supply
Uncle Sans order. Farmers in COM
munity are asked to get together car
load lots and ship them.
There is a cannery at Marshalltown
and one at Grimes that can handle
large amounts of pumpkins. The prices
beng paid are around $3.50 a ton, t. O..
b. at the loading point.

NEW FEDERAL oTANDARp
FOR GRADING OF WHEAT
Y. WORKS NO HARDSHIP

A large part Of this years whea4
crop has graded high at the markets.
No. 3 or better-under the federal
wheat standards made effective this
year. The United States department
of agriculture calls attention to the ex-
act figures because persistent false
rumors have been circulated In the
grain trade, and particularly among
country shippers and producers. to the
effect that under the new federal
standards for wheat very little Of tho
marketed crop Is being, or has been,
placed in the higher grades. On the
contrary. the requirements Of the fed
eral standards for wheat are not such
as to work hardship on the country
shippers and producers. for under these
standards high grades have been given
to a heavy percentage OF the wheat
marketed.
The department calls attention to
these facts:
~ OF the hard red spring wheat
which arrived in Minneapolis during
the months Of August and September,
1914, 1915, and 1916. 76.7 per cent grad
ed No. or better under Minnesota
state standards for wheat in effect at
that time.
OF the hard red spring wheat which
arrived at Minneapolis during August
and the first twenty-five days Of Sep
TENDER this year, s1.2 per cent graded
No. 8 or better under the federal stand
ards.
In comparing the above facts, 1t
should be borne In mind that whereas
mo. 8 or better under Minnesota state
standards included the first four grades
(No. hard and Nos. 1. 2, 3. northern)
only the first three grades OF the fed
eral standards have been considered.
(2) OF the hard red winter wheat
which arrived at Chicago during July
and August this year. 1913 per cent
graded No. or better under federal
standards; OF the soft red winter wheat
which arrived at Chicago during the
same period, 72.5 per cent graded No.
OF better under the federal standards.
OF the hard red winter wheat which
arrived at Kansas City during July and
August this year, Ss.9 per cent graded
No. 3 or better under the federal
standards; OF the soft red winter wheat
which arrived at Kansas City during
the same period, 92.6 per cent graded
No. or better under the federal stand
ards

It's very bad from every stand

party" said Dietrich. Yet it is a
great habit among young folks today
IF you 'mush too much now you
will get tired Of it before YOU ought
to. They didn't have anything OF that
sort when Was young, and know
of 1t now only through my sons, who,
by the way, have only heard of the
mush parties; they don't attend
them.

too far. even when you are engaged.
