FARM MANSION DESTROYED

Wednesday evening while eating
supper, Miles Gardner and family of
Greeley township, observed that their
home was burning. The fire seems to
have started in the clothes shute at
the bottom and went to the top. They
hastily got out of the house and before
anything whatever could be gotten
out of the house, the gas lighting
plant blew UP and the flames spread
very rapidly to all parts of this beau
tiful, modern farm residence and alb
solutely everything was consumed by
the flames. Not even the clothing,
other than what they had on was
gotten out.
This home was built very recently
and was one of the finest farm res.
licences in the county. 1t was large
and modern in every way. The fire
seems to have started in the base
ment, but not from the light plant,
but it's orogin is mystery. Mr..
Gardner carried $4,000 insurance on
the house and $1,000 on the contents.
The loss is very heavy and at a very
bad time of the year. This family
have the sympathy of their many
friends.

We do not need to starve our own

We do not need to starve our own
people. We have plenty for our
selves, and it is the firm policy of the
Food Administration to retain for our
people, by it's control of exports, a
sufficient supply of every essential
foodstuff. We want nobody in our
country to eat less than is necessary
for good health, and full strength for
America needs the full productive
power of all it's people. Much of the
needed saving can be effected by sub
stituting one kind of food for another.
But the time has come to put aside all
selfishness and disloyalty. The time
has come for sacrifice.
The Allies ask us to meet only their
absolutely imperative needs. They
are restricting the consumption of
their own people to the minimum ne
cessary for health and strength. They

en- actual privation among thir WON
en- and children; there is starvation in
are controlling their food by drastic
Belgium.
The Allies need wheat and meat and
fats and sugar. They must have more
of all these than we have been send
ing, more than we shall be able to
send unless we restrict our own con-
sumption We can do it without
harm, for, as nation, we are today
eating and wasting much more food
than we need.
The whole great problem of winning
the war rests primarily on one thing;
the loyalty and sacrifice of the Amer
lean people in the matter of food. 1t
is not government responsibility of
each individual. Each pound of food
saved by each American citizen is a
pound given to the support of our ar
my, the Allies and the friendly neut-
rails. Each pound wasted or eaten
unnecessarily is pound withheld
from them. 1t is a direct personal
obligation on the part of each of us to
some one in Europe whom we are
bound to help.
If we are selfish or even careless
we are disloyal, we are the enemy al
home. Now is the hour of our test
ing. Let us make it the hour of oul
victory; victory over ourselves; vic
tory over the enemy of Freedom.

AUTO REPAIRS AND INCOME.

There are many questions arising
daily as to what should be figured out
and what should be figured in on the
income tax. One of the questions
which has bothered many is the ques-
ton of repairs to an automobile. E.
T. Bilharz showed us letter which
he had received from Louis Murphy
the revenue collector, concerning this
one question Mr.. Murphy stated
very plainly that farmers automo-
bile repairs and expenses should be
deducted from his income in comput-
ing his income tax only when using
his automobile in the conduct of his
business When using the automp-
bile for pleasure, the expense of re-
pairs should not be deducted. The
question also arose as to whether the
use of the automobile in coming to
town for groceries for family use
would be considered in the sense Of
conducting his business. 1t would not
The coming to town for groceries
would be his personal business and
not subject to deduction. Such cases
would be part of the two thousand
dollars allowed for the head of fam
lily. If he broke a part of his ma
chinery and came to town in Ibis au
tomobile for repairs, this would be
subject to deductions as. it. would be
used in conducting his business. AL

COUNTY AGENT ORGANIZATION

COUNTY AGENT ORGANIZATION
A meeting was called for the mem
bers of the county agent organization
for Saturday afternoon in this city. On
public meetings. in Audubon, the
meeting was transferred to Hamlin
and was held in the hall in that town.
The attendance was small on ac-
count of the transfer of the meeting
place to Hamlin, only eighteen being
present. Mr.. Therman of the Ames
College Extension Department was
present and gave very interesting
and Instructive talk. After his adj
dress, the meeting was informal and
a general discussion was taken up
and many interesting points brought
out
The matter of employing county
agent was discussed and they have
two or three men in view with whom
they are corresponding. They ex-
pect to employ a man very soon for
the place. The organization now con
sists Of somewhere near four hun.
dred members.
The following officers were elected
for the coming year:
Earl Maharg, president.
John G. Nelson, vice-president.
Frank Sampson, secretary.
James Hunt, treasurer.
Directors-W. H. Boust, j. M. Davis
M. D. Graves, o. H. Jacobsen, S. M

The organization was certainly wise
in the selection of their officers and
directors. These are good men fol

get behind them and push the work
along and we believe that the county
will be greatly benefited by the move

OBITUARY Of MRS
]. N. THOMAS


The entire community was
shocked last Saturday by the
sudden death from heart fail
ure of Mrs. j. M. Thomas. A
short time previous to her
death she was around the
store at her usual work and
apparently in the best of
health.
Nettie Wattles was born in
Earlville, It'll. March Is, 1866.
Was married to j. M. Thomas
at Audubon, La. Jan. II, 1898.
united with the Congrega-
tional Church at Extra, la.
in 1896 and passed away at
Aztec, Jan. 26th.
Funeral services were con-

Tuesday afternoon. Her faith

G. L. Bison. Charles Bison
and Mrs. j. b. Brown, nephe W
and niece, came from Bray
ton, La. to attend funeral.
Mrs. Thomas will be sorely
missed in this community as
she was always to be found

sickness, trials, and bereave-
ment doing what she could
TIC make the suffering less
hard to bear. She was public

The men of the Allied Nations are
fighting; they are not on the farms.
Even the men of the European neutral
countries are under arms. The fields
of both Allies and neutrals lack man
power, fertilizer and machinery. Hence
the production of food by these coun-
tries has steadily lessened ever since
the beginning OF the war, while, at the
same time, the shortage Of shipping
has grown more and more serious,
with the consequent steady increase Of
difficulties in bringing food from the
PARKWAY markets Of India, Australia
and the Argentine.
The situation has become critical
There is simply not enough food in
Europe, yet the soldiers of the Allies
must be maintained in full strength;
their wives and children at home mus
not face famine; the friendly neutrals
must not be starved; and, finally, oul
own army in France must never lack
a needed ounce of food
There is just one way in which al
these requirements can be met. Nortf
America must furnish the food. Ant
we must furnish it from our saving.
because we have already sent oul
normal surplus.
