Keview-The declaration of peace was
celebrated in great style in Dow City
Monday. The good news-to this ef-
feet was received here about o'clock
a. M, and the entire day was devoted
to celebrating the glad event. The
wood which had been piled up in the
center of Main street several days
previous was set on fire. People left
their work and in short time large
crowd had congregated in town. Many
flags of all sizes were hoiSted, bells
rang and small whistles and the like
added very much to the enjoyment OF
the occasion. A fine military parade
was arranged for the afternoon which
was formed at the school house at
O'Clock. The procession marched
from the school house up town, then
up through Main street and down to
the city park where program was
rendered. The parade was headed by
three automobiles all most appropri-
ately decorated, especially so in re-
gard to one which had dummy rep.
resenting the kaiser bound in chains
and attached to the engine of one of
the cars. Robert Pagan and Sarah
Keairnes are also deserving Of spe.
cial mention for the part of represent.

house. but on account of the vast
number in attendance it was decided
to go to the park. J. N. Bell acted as
marshal of the day. Supt. J. R. Nc
Wicker was chairman of the program
and F. c. Buss chairman Of associat-
ed committees. In the evening ahoth-
er large bonfire was started on the
street and real jubilee was held.
The kaiser was burned and every
thing imaginable in the line of noise
making was brought out and a jolly
time enjoyed. The celebration was
attended by about one thousand peo-
pie. The day was one which will lin
ger long in the memory of each one
present, in fact one which will never
be forgotten.

ference of the federal food admins
traitors of the various states with Her
bert Hoover at Washington, D. G..
this week, to map out the new con-
servation program which will require
greater conservation by our people be-
cause we must feed not only our sol
diers and allies but the neutral and
rlewlv released nations heretofore ov'
|erridden by the huns.
The United States has fed 12O,OOO,'
900 allies for two years. Now there
are -s0,000,000 other people Who are
hungry or starving, facing famine and
winter, victims of Germany and the
war. The, people whose lands have

sapped by war, Roumania, the Uk'

pie whose civilization has collapsed; !;
the Russians of every territory-all
are needy, many will starve unless
help comes quickly.
Every dish served in American ho-
tells, restaurants, clubs and other pub.
lie eating places on Thanksgiving day
will BE made from home grown prod

administration are put into effect. One
Of the greatest problems in our do

Of war BY using home grown foods,

ell, "Hoover's right hand man" who

6d nos relaxation In food conservation
with the coming of peace was the
most Important message from Mr..
HailoRell. He said: even il peace
should come at an early date it would
not add one pound of food to our sup
ply. On the contrary. it would enor-
mohsly increase our food obligations
becauSe it would allow us to reach
with food the people of Poland. Rou-
mania, Servia, Armenia, European Ru
sia and others who are now without
adequate food supply. The total num-
Der OF these people has been estimat.
ed at ,1SO,000,00O some of whom have
partial food resources and some Of
whom are now literally in starving
condition." These 180,OOO,00O are in
addition to the 12O,QOO,OO0 we have
been feeding. While the end Of the
war would bring release Of large
stores of food in the southern hemis-
phere. principally Australia and In.
dia, these added stores of food would
not be sufficient to restore the starv-
Ing people of central and eastern
Europe to health and strength in the
opinion of Mr.. Hallowen. = "

FORMER REVIEW MAN
m. J. Fleming, in His Norwood, Minn.
Times, Tells Of His Denison
War Garden


Norwood, Mimi, and was written by
M. j. Fleming, who is the editor OF
said paper, and who was employed in
the Review office until last fall when
he moved to Norwood to take charge
of the newspaper there. Mr.. Fleming
was one of the winners in the garden
contest which was held here last sum-
mer, hence this article.
Norwood (Minn.) Times: Last sum-
mer we lived in Iowa. When the call
was made for war gardens, we (used
in the plural sense) took our spade
and turned virgin soil, planted va
riety of seed and carefully nursed the
growing plants till the harvest. Our
garden wasn't very large, probably
6Ox6O, but we took great deal of
pride in that same garden. We had
seventeen varieties of vegetables
growing and every plant yielded
abundantly. Cabbage worms were a
nuisance, cut worms pest. and the
mosquitoes charged US in mass forma.
ton, but withalJ we enjoyed every
hour of our labor in that garden.
Rumors reached us to the effect
that the inspectors were impressed
with our work. Good news is always
fattering and we felt a just pride in
our little farm, but we recently re.
ceived something more substantial
than praise. A check from the Agri.
cultural college has Just been receiv-
ed stating it is our prize in the gar
den contest. We prize this check, not
so much for it's face value as for what
it represents. There is always q
feeling Of pride in doing something a
little better than the other fellow. We
don't know whether 1t is reward for
doing something it would have been
our duty to do anyway.

A Good Examine.

Ocheyedan Press: Miss Esther
Bremen, 11-year-old daughter of
Mr.. and Mrs. Chris Bremen, pur-
chased $50 worth of War Savings
Stamps last week, and we believe
the plan by which she was enabled
to do this should be followed on
every farm where it is possible. Mr..
Bremen gave her what would be
called a "runt" pig. The young
lady took mighty good care of it
and last week sold it for $50, which
she invested in War Savings
Stamps. There are two more good
features to this. Runt pigs will do
as we'll as others if given the proper
care. That means more food for our
nation. 1t gives the young folks an
additional interest in the farm OPP
erations. But best of all it permits
the young people to help our ma
ton win the war. The matter of
thrift is also worth considering.
