MEETING, SOON
Next Tuesday Afternoon a Great Meet
ing is Planned and Everybody is
Expected to be Present
BURT j. THOMPSON TO PRESIDE
He is in Great Demand Throughout
the State and We Were Indeed
Fortunate to Secure Him

On the afternoon of Tuesday, De-
cember 10th, at 100 o'clock in the
opera house in Denison, will be held
the great county food conservation
meeting that, was to have been held
December Sd.
Similar county meetings were being
held everywhere during food conser-
walton week, under a national plan.
but the meeting for Crawford was
postponed on account of conflicting
events and more especially to assure
the presence Of the field man Of the
Iowa food administration, Burt j..
Thompson. of Forest City. He is a
particularly able man and is in so
great demand throughout the state
that the local administration feels
very fortunate in finding him avail
able.
Some special innovations are also
being planned for the big meeting, in
GLIDING some good musical features.
It is planned to close the stores dur
ing the program and the older pupils
of the schools will be present, as this
is a meeting vital to the future plans
OF the government food administra-
, ton and It'll desired that all who can
will be there.
Mr.. Thompson will bring to us
very important message and will en-
tighten us as to the nations plans for
the near future as concerns the food
problem,
1t must be borne in mind that with
the end Of the war comes added
problems in the feeding of the world,
with millions Of hungry and starving
people at the mercy of those nations
that have their plenty. Not only are
the peoples of the former enemy lands
suffering horribly, but millions in neu.
tral nations and in the countries OF
our allies are in dire need of that
without which unrest is berd-food.
1t is said that after all wars comes
famine and pestilence. It is up to US
in this land Of plenty to answer the,
call to duty and save what we do not
need, AS one local citizen has said:
Crawford county has such . great
plenty OF everything that our people
are inclined to waste stuff, not think
ing that the rest Of the world is not
all so fortunate as this favored land.
The fact that we are the ones who
have the greatest plenty is the very

LECTURE COURSE THURSDAY

The second number of the lecture
course will be given on Thursday eve
ming. December 9Th, when a concert
will be given by the Saxophone Sex
tette, assisted by young lady vocal
list. The sextette comes highly rec
commended, and has been under the
leadership of the famous Bohumir
Kryl, which is a guarantee that 1t is
a first class attraction. The organi-
cation ranks as one OF the best in the
lyceum and this promises to be one
of the most attractive numbers on
the local course.

WHY ADVERTISED STORES sue
CEED

Because the advertised store speaks
with strong confidence OF the merits
of it's proposition.
When store fails to advertise it
must be for one of three reasons:
First, because the proprietor thinks
the public will not see his notice;
second, because the proprietor thinks
they will not believe it if they do see
it: or third, because the proprietor
feels that he has no goods of such ex-
ceptional value that he can persuade
the public to come in and look at
them.
The first reason is valid only il a
merchant is considering some paper
of small circulation. The second and
third reasons indicate lack Of conf.
dence on~the part OF the store in its
goods. tt45 s.$
No one would have the courage to
put money into advertising unless
goods had demonstrated their value
in practical experience. The public
feels in buying advertised goods that
it is getting something that has made
good. IS;

Frank.
II Oct. Is, 1918.

Dear Folks:
Am feeling some better now, so
thought would try and write you a
few words. 1t is no easy joy lying on
your back Had a fine nights sleep
last night Have not had any mail
since have been in the hospital. Will
probably get to see you all after get
able to be around. Well this is the
best l can do for now. Please don't
worry. With love, Frank.
Frank was young man of fine
character and had a kindly disposition
which made him very popular with his
friends and acquaintances. He will
be numbered among the brave heroes
who sacrificed their all for the cause
of democracy, but it is a sad incident,
that his life should be taken on that
day when peace was declared and no
doubt he did not live to realize that
his supreme sacrifice was not in vain.

his memory,

= Somehow we cannot get out of our mind the
picture of "the lonesome girl"-the young woman
who has come to Washington from home where
there was victrola, piano an organ; where
father smoked his pipe and toasted his feet on
the lender; where mother "eoddled the bairns;"
where the boys and girls knew each others first
names; where neighbors called on each other;
where there were "chums" and all the delights of
'chumminess.
To take young girl from this environment and
plant her in hall bedroom in strange city, rob
her OF the intimate joys of association with friends
seems to US to be one of the tragedies of the city,
There are thousands here who come under this
classification, and they are lonesome for the sight
of friendly face. for doer of a friendly deed
FOR the sympathy without which life is burden

there might be found some solution of this prob

Several generations will learn of John LIS death
with genuine regret. He honest man in a

during that period there were others besides "Old

CALLS ROOSEVELT GERMAN.
L. W. W. Defends Administration
as Purest Ever.

To the Editor of The Herald:
The unpreparedness question does
not lie at the door of the pres
ent administration, but to those Of
the past. Where did all the money
go which was then appropriated for
defense? Ask the parties who now
seek to put stumbling blocks in the
way of the purest and greatest ad-
ministration we ever had, and who
are working day and night to meet
emergencies.
Had the past administrations done
their duty. the burden would not
now fall upon these present officials
to perform three years labor in one
year. While they are thus engaged,
along comes that strutting peacock,
Roosevelt, with a farce investigation
to hold up legislation. He seems des-
perate to attempt some means by
which to oust the people We have
confidence in and desire at the head
OF our nation.
But Roosevelt. the German, will sue
ceed about as much as a mouse would
knawing at the foundation of\a tenn
pie. to topple it over.
We have had enough of him and
his intrigues. He has fooled the peo-
pie so long he imagines he can fool
them all the time. If he only knew
enough, he would retire to his fireside,
where all old men like him should
be. Then he might be respected,
at least for his old age. But money
has its temptations. l. W. W.

ON CLOSING CHURCHES.
Rev. John R. Edwards Gives Views
on Coal Order.

To the Editor of The Herald: The
churches of this city are greatly in
debted to your paper for its stand
on the subject of enforced closing Of
churches.
1t is apparent that Mr.. Weaver,
fuel commissioner. in issuing his or
der to the churches of the District
of Columbia for two-thirds of them
to close during a period of three
weeks. including Sundays, has not
considered the effect of this method
of fuel-saving upon denominations
where the unit of activity is mainly
the local church and where system
attic organized effort in education and
religion, dependent upon regular Sun
day class work Is an essential fea-
ture. as in Sunday school and other
young peoples work. At this time,
when stress of work occupies the
membership and constituency during
the secular days of the week and in
the midst of the William A. Sunday
campaign, 1t is far more practicable
for a great majority OF churches to
effect economy in use Of fuel by con-
fining all public service to one day
