 Local restaurant proprietors were surprised this morning when a gov ernment food inspector entered their places of business and told them that the supply of meat used must be cut down. Steak will be permitted to be served on one day a week only under the new regulation. and all kinds of meat on the menu must be diminished at once so the supply for the Army will not be curtailed. Restaura mt keepers are making every effort to find out what kinds of food they will be best able to serve in order that they may cooperate with the govern rnent.

P. G. Holden in l. H. C. Bulletin:
The opportunity Of the town lies in
the country. The country can get
along without the town, but no town
ever has or ever will be permanently
prosperous where the land is poor.
The town is built on farm profits; on
what farmers produce in excess OF
their home needs. In fact, towns are
consumers, not real producers. Towns
are the natural evolution and out
growth of necessity-places to store
and distribute the worlds surplus
products through the channels OF
commerce. There is but one road to
permanent city building-that road
leads to the farm. Business is so
sympathetic, so sensitive to crop pro-
duction, that the forecast of poor
wheat or corn crop affects the mar
kets of the world When the harvest
fields smile, towns wax fat and fac
tories increase the pay roll. Corn,
wheat and hay, beef, pork and poul-
try-these are the soil builders, the
home builders, the builders of great
cities.

Col. n. r. Hyatt to Remain Here.

Colonel N. P. Hyatt of this city and
former commander of the old Second
Iowa infantry, now stationed at Camp
Cody, will remain in the United States
"for domestic SERVICE" when the
Thirty-fourth division goes to France,
according to message received by
Mrs. Hyatt from him few days ago.
In just what capacity he will be
retained here and where he is to be
stationed is not yet known. That the
war departement has determined to
utilize his long army experience and
excellent military judgment in the
great work of preparing vast army
to send to France, is but one of the
fortunes Of war. And while Colonel
Hyatt may be disappointed in not
being able to. accompany his COM
mand to France. he will serve well
wherever he serves at all.

] Eue,y Farm a Factory

merce, with it's cash bonuses and
free factory sites, is rapidly passing
away. Instead of grabbing business
from each other, we must realize that
our opportunities lie hidden in the
fertility of the soil. Towns and cities
are beginning to look to the country,
out to the fields of growing corn,
wheat and cotton for their real pros
perity. A real successful hay cam
paign will bring factories to the town.
Hay means beef and pork, which
| beckon the packing house and stor-
age plant. More corn means cereal
mills, glucose factories, starch fac
tories. Flour mills locate in wheat
producing sections. Creameries fol-
low the dairy COW and the truck
patch calls for the canning factory.
Let us have more chambers OF
commerce and agriculture. Let us
create wealth from the opportunities
at home, and not subtract it from
other communities.
We must not forget that every farm
is factory, and that in every state
there are thousands of these factor
les which need our best thought and
effort to make them productive.

Extra! Kaiser Dead!

\ Stanhope Enterprise: From pri-
vate source of information to the En-
terprise comes the news IF the demise
of the Kaiser 1t is probable that the
news is authentic as it comes from a
reliable source. The method used by
the Kaiser for terminating his earthly
existence shows an utter disregard for
conventionalities. and also that he had
become tired of the nonadic life he
was leading, and dreading disastrous
future, concluded, rather than accept
ing humiliating terms of peace from
imaginary enemies, concluded that
the best thing he could do was to
shuttle off this mortal coil" In spite
of all precautions by friends, watch
ers and caretakers that he got nothing
detrimental to his health, he managed
to elude their vigilance and in some
manner obtained access to a supply of
Paris Green that some body careless
ly or some enemy had with intent
placed within his reach. The end
came so suddenly that he had no time

Church Burns to Ground.

Ellsworth News: Lightning struck
the big double church, six miles south
east of town, during the storm Sat
urday evening, and although every
thing possible was done to save the
structure, it was burned to the
ground.
The lightning hit the large steeple,
and the farmers in that vicinity i'm
|mediately rushed to the building with
axes and with great danger to their
lives went up into the belfry, with the
intention of cutting the steeple off
the building with hopes of saving the
rest of the church. Luck was against
them, as pigeons had carried a large
amount of straw into the belfry, and
when this started they saw that their
efforts were useless, and they hurried
down to save what they could from
the building.
A large number of seats, an organ
and the church records were saved.
1t is not known yet whether a new
church will be built upon the present
site or not, but evidently a decision
will be arrived at in a short time.
