POOR MATERIAL FOR WARMTH
Mother Evidently Did Not Entirely
i. s.s Approve of Apparel Which
Adorned Her Daughter.

They were crossing Washington
street at Meridian, after the theater,
few nights ago, and 1t seemed that
mother and daughter were not perfect
ly agreed on the nature of daughters
apparel. At theater time the weather
was balny, but when they came out,
It had been raining and though there
was no shower at the moment there
was much wind, and daughters filmy
white silk skirt was blowing about in
dangerous fashion as she stepped off
the curb. She stopped repeatedly and
pulled the skirt down, then fairly ran
to the shelter of the Merchants Bank
building, leaving mother, who was
bit plump, to roll along as best she
could.
'sWhy didn't you wait for me" de-
lnanded mother, on reaching the girl.
"Wellr was the retort, "my ears
are not cold. wasn't going to poke
along there and let my skirt get up
around my ears, was IY'
''If my ears were cold" said mother,
surveying the filmy skirts, I'D hate to
try to get them warm with all you
have On."-Indianapolis News.

Proclamation by the Pres.
ident of the United
States of America.

Every day the great principles for
which we are fighting take fresh hold
upon our thought and purpose and
make it clearer what the end must be
and what we must do to achieve 1t.
We now know more certainly than
we ever knew before why free men
brought the great nation and govern
ment we love into existence, because
1t grows clearer and clearer what SUI
preme service 1t is to be Americas
privilege to render to the world. The
anniversary Of the discovery of Amer
lea must therefore have for us In this
fateful year q peculiar and thrilling
significance. We should make it day
of ardent rededication to the ideals
upon which our government is founded
and by which our present heroic tasks
are inspired.
Now, therefore, I, Woodrow Wilson,
President of the United States Of
America, do appoint Saturday. the 18th
day Of October, 1918, as Liberty day.
On that day request the citizens Of
every community of the United States,
city, town and countryside, to cele-
brate the discovery Of our country in
order to stimulate generous response
to the Fourth Liberty Loan. Common
Orative addresses, pageants, harvest
home festivals, or other demOnstra-
tons should be arranged for in every
neighborhood under the general direc-
ton of the secretary of the treasury
and the immediate direction of the
Liberty Loan committee, in co-opera-
ton with the United States bureau of
education and the public school au-
thorities. Let the peoples response to
the Fourth Liberty Loan express the
measure Of their devotion to the ideals
which have guided the country from
It's discovery until now, and of their
determined purpose to defend them
and guarantee their triumph.
For the purpose Of participating in
Liberty day celebrations all employees
Of the federal government throughout
the country whose services can be
spared may be excused on Saturday,
the 18th day of October, for the entire
day.
In witness whereof, have hereunto
set my hand and caused the seal of
the United States to be affixed.
Done in the District of Columbia
this 10th day Of September in the year
Of Our Lord One Thousand Nine Hun
dred and Eighteen, and of the indie
nendpnce Of tha limited States of

third.

Lives 200 Years !

For more than 200 years, HARLEM Oil,
the famous national remedy of Holland,
has been recognized as an infallible relief
from all forms of kidney and bladder dis
orders. Its very age is proof that it must
have unusual merit.
If you are troubled with pains or aches
in the back, feel tired in the morning,
headaches, Indigestion, insomnia, painful
or too frequent passage of urine, irritation
or stone in the bladder, you will almost
certainly find relief in GOLD MEDAL
HARLEM Oil Capsules. This is the good
old remedy that has stood the test for
hundreds of years, prepared in the proper
quantity and convenient form to take.
It is imported direct from Holland lab
oratories, and you can get it at any
drug store. 1t is standard, old-time
home remedy and needs no introduction.
Each capsule contains one dose of five
drops and is pleasant and easy to take.
They will quickly relieve those stifened
joints, that backache, rheumatism, mnl-
bago, sciatica, gall stones, gravel, ''brick
dust" etc. Your money promptly refund
ed if they do not relieve you. But be sure
to get the genuine GOLD MEDAL brand.

REVEALS FOES DIRE STRAITS
German Poster Reproduced by Bureau
OF Publicity Proof of Shattered
Morale Of Enemy.

A poster recently issued by the i'm
perial German government in an effort
to belittle the participation Of America
in the war and thus strengthen the
morale Of her people form the text of
one of the most striking pieces of litera-
ture that the bureau of publicity of
the war loan organization has prepared
for use in the Forthcoming Fourth Lib
erty loan.
The center of the poster Is devoted
to a drawing showing New York city
on one side of the Atlantic and ire
mendous explosion on the other side,
probably somewhere in France. Two
sinking vessels are shown in the lane
Of travel between New York and
France, while in the offing are two
U-boats securely afloat. Opportunity
for the German U-boats ~ is the catch
line for this section of the poster.
The lane of travel in which the boats
are sinking bears this inscription:
America Europe. Distance 200 times
greater than from England to France
mainland" In a corner of this sec
lion Of the poster are shown the names
Of Serbia, Montenegro, Italy. Rou-
mania, Russia and Belgium. They are
lined up in the order named under an
other exploding figure representative
Of the European war, and the names
Of all the countries except Italy are
crossed out, indicating that they have
been eliminated from the struggle by
the Huns.
The title of the poster is "Can
Americas Entry Make decision of the
War;" Integral sections Of it attempt
to convince the reader that Americas
army cannot take the place of Rus
sia's withdrawn forces; that the Unit
ed States cannot build enough ships
to have any effect on the result of the
war, and that the U-boats will destroy
virtually all the ships that America
can build when those ships at
tempt to cross the ocean.
Two millions of the booklets have
been printed and will be distributed
in various parts Of the country, par
ticularly in theaters where Liberty
Loan speakers take the book as their
text.
Every effort is made in the wording
and the illustrations of the poster to
minimize and ridicule the efforts of the
United States in the war. A striking
example of this is found in the figure
Of Uncle Sam, who is pictured as a
cadaverous Individual who wears an
American flag with nine stars and five
stripes around his plug hat and smokes
a long-stemmed cob pipe. He also ap-
pears to be wearing spats or dancing
pumps.
The enormous figure of Russian
soldier is the first object on the poster
to strike the eye. He stands with
hands in his overcoat pockets, indica-
tive Of the fact that he is through
fighting. Beside him stands Uncle Sam
holding a small figure, designed to
represent the United States army, in

Fervent Wish,

In Camp Custer recently young

dripping from his nose looked up at a
compassionate, friend and expressed
the fervent wish that those who were

up to the general status.

CANNING EXHIBITS AT IOWA
STATE FAIR

It used to be the fashion to brag
about what our grandmothers could
do in the way Of saving summer
fruits and vegetables for winter use.
But those very efficient ladies Of old
didn't have thing on Mrs. Uptodate
when it comes to canning operations.
In fact the housewife of forty or fifty
years ago admits her shortcomings
when she visits pantry, cave or store
room of the woman of today. For the
modern housekeeper has picked up a
lot of new wrinkles since the opening
Of Uncle Sans food conservation
movement.
Visitors to the Iowa State Fair Of
1917 were impressed with the mag
nificent display of home-canned fruits
and vegetables. 1t was hard to be-
lieve they were the product of home
talent and labor. Exhibits in this de-
partment promise to eclipse every
thing of the kind in past years. The
premium classification has been
widened and the prize money material
" increased, all of which will tend to
swell exhibits. Prizes are offered for
foodstuffs, canned, preserved, dried
and picked; for buffers, jellies, jams
and all the rest of it. Don't overlook
the kitchen and pantry department
when you visit the fair.

BEEF CATTLE AT IOWA STATE
FAIR

Exhibits of cattle-and other stock
as well-at the state fairs can general
ly be gagged by prices and conditions
prevailing throughout the country at
the time. During a period Of de-
preston, with purebred animals NOV
ing slowly and at unsatisfactory
prices, breeders take scant interest
and exhibits are not nearly so numer-
Gus as when things are booming and
new price records being made.
Judging by past experience, the cat
tie show at the Iowa State Fair this
year will be the most extraordinary
one ever yet seen in Iowa, which is
putting 1t strong, because the Iowa
fair has become known the country
over for the excellence Of it's stock
shows. Purebred cattle never were
In such demand as at present. Choice
breeding animals are bringing un-
heard of prices at the auction sales,
entire herds averaging above 81, 500 in
some instances.
Entries of beef cattle reflect the
prosperous conditions that prevail.
The first stall reservations we're made
weeks ago, and everything indicates
a record-breaking display of beef
makers.
