You pay more for your vegetables
because the farmer pays more for

NO SUMMER VACATION
FOR WORLD Of MUSIC

Statistics were taken in two large
American cities about fifteen years
ago to ascertain what proportion Of
the public were music loving and mu~

population attended musical concerts,
and did things for music through
choirs, orchestra, Womens Musical
clubs and other community activities
Statistics were again taken two
years ago which showed this proper
tion had Increased TO s ga per cent
which percentage has also reached a
materially higher figure since that re-
suit was obtained two years ago
The increasing interest in things
musical has no better illustration of
it's growth than The rapidly spreading
belief that there is no logical reason
why music should be allowed a three

Army Makes Record Meat Purchase
Bacon and Canned Meats for our
American Soldier Boys Over
the Sea.
COMMENTS BY LOUIS F. SWIFT
This is Largest Single Order for Bacon
and Canned Meats in History OF
World.

Chicago, July 22.-The largest single
order for bacon and canned meats IN
the history of the world-99, 500 ,OO0
POUNDS of bacon and 194,000,OO0 pounds
Of canned meat-has just been placed
by the Quartermaster's Department, U.
s. A., for the American Army overseas.
Louis F.. Swift, in commenting on
this today, said the order will take the
bacon from approximately 100000
hogs and if other work were dropped
to produce it, it would be equivalent IT,
the total bacon production Of the five
largest Chicago packers for nearly five
weeks. However, six months will
elapse before delivery is to be COM
pleted.
Mr.. Swift said:
"At the current prices on the day,
last week, when purchase was made,
the packers would pay the live stock
producers about $SO,0O0,OOO for the
{ ltcCcSodly uAu OSCA Yoo,oo0,0o0 AON
about 100000 cattle required.
"The cattle will cost us twice as
much, and the hogs two and one-half
times as much as in the pre-War
period.
"The whole order will be made up
before the first Of the year, despite
the fact that, even before this pur-
chase, one-fourth of the packers faci-
lities have been devoted to filling mill
tary demands. ~
Elm order to get out the canned
goods the packers will find it necessary
to employ night and day shifts of cam
ners Notwithstanding the fact that
the products thus far furnished have
been rushed forward, hurriedly,s not u
ngle complaint has been received on
meats delivered to the armies abroad.
"The five packers are now killing
about 100000 hogs weekly to keep
abreast of martial and domestic needs.

LUTHERAN \. MIS-.
SION FESTIVAL
Annual Mission Festival of Lutheran
Churches in This Vicinity Held at
Nokomis Park in III
"a. ,'',j: oWf
600 PEOPLE IN ATTENDANCE
Mission Collection Was $215.-FOrt
Dodge and Paullina Pastors
Speakers.

The annual Mission Festival cele-
brated by the Lutheran churches of
this vicinity was held in Nokomis
park yesterday. More than 600 per-
sons were in attendance, large num-
bers coming from Fort Dodge, Dun
combe and Vincent, to join with the
members of ST. Paul's Lutheran
church Of this city in it's observance.
A feature of the yearly gathering
is the taking of collection for mis-
sion purposes, which yesterday
amounted to $215.
An Added Test.
A speakers platform had been
erected for the occasion and supplied
with a piano. Improyised benches
enabled the congregation to rest COM
forably during the services held both
morning and afternoon. Picnic
spreads were enjoyed by family groups
at noon and the comfortable shade of
Nokomis park was never more thor
ouhgly enjoyed. Swimming, visiting
and strolling about the pretty wood
ed spot added holiday zest to the
occasion.
The Program.
Both services carried strong and
purposeful message. Rev. M. J. Won
der Au of Fort Dodge delivered a
splendid morning sermon. The choir
of ST. PauIs Lutheran church sang
several selections, which, together
with solo by Rev. H. A. Koenig OF
this city, gave much pleasure. The
speaker in the afternoon was Rev. A.
II. Semmann of Paullina. The choir
led the singing and Miss Lillian Smith
and Rev. Koenig sang very pleasing
duet during the afternoon service.

20 YEARS IN GERMANY.

Erich Brandies in Saturday Even
ing Post: When I left Germany
was twenty years old. I obtained
military leave of absence for one
year. That leave was extended to
four years. That was the limit. Ev-
cry German must serve his time
when he is % years old. Nothing can
change that. "
But meantime l had settled and
married an American girl. Needless
to say, German military service did
not interest me very much.
Two weeks after my twenty-ffth
birthday received a formidable look
ing document from the military COM
mander of Berlin. 1t was my notii-
cation that the day after I was ex-
pected to report for service I had
been duly tried by court martial on
a charge of absence without leave.
The military court had found me
guilty and imposed sentence of 16
days in military fortress, with the
alternative of fine of 100 marks.
was to present myself Immediately
for duty.
When war was declared in 1914
again received memorial, with the
royal seal of blue and white eagel.
This time was informed that if l re-
ported without delay to the nearest
military authority, royal amnesty
would be granted to me.
l have reported for duty-to the
war department of the United States;
and l hope that place will be found
for me somewhere.
The German system is everywhere;
1t connects itself with everything; it
works at all times.
If the system decides that fright
fulness is the proper procedure, then
nothing is permitted to stand in the
way Of execution of orders.
A cobblestone. woman, house.
child, church, a cripple, tree,
an old man-all are military obsta-
Giles. The cries of stabbed noncom-
batants are horrible to the ears of a
German soldier; but more horrible is
the generals wrath.
The German loves his family. He
is good to his wife and his children
are dear to him. If you call him a
hun, barbarian, you misunderstood
him. He is a human being; more
sentimental, more idealistic than
most of you.
But carved into his brain. into his
heart, into his soul, are the words
that mean more to him than the ten
commandments: With God for king
and fatherland!
That is what America is fighting
for, to replace those words with the
three others-Liberty! Equality!
Fraternity!
