THE STATE ENCOURAGES
RIJJIDING OF SILOS

If a man is in doubt as to matters
of silo construction he should WISH
the state fair says G. II. VIDE, anu
make a study of the proposition at
first hand.
The Iowa State Fair is the only
place in the middle west where COM
nlete silos can be seen. Other places
either begrudge them the room or
else limit building operations to the
foundation work. With more than
200 acres of ground in the state falr
plant, the Iowa management mas
room to exploit everything OF interest,"
to farmers. and liberal plot OF
ground was set aside and dedicated
to the silo industry. From time 10
time silos have been built now on
that corner which has become a reg
ular Silo Town. With the exception
of the pit silo about every idea IN
silo construction ever conceived mas
been worked out. There are all
kinds of silos and there will be all
kinds of silo-filling and silage--cut-
ting machinery on exhibition and in
operation. The government is con-
Quoting a silo-building campaign TINS
year, as a part of food conservation
propaganda, and this splendid exhibit
will be all to the good for the man
who wants practical information.
On his return home will have little
difficulty in interesting him in one
of our silos concluded Mr.. Wlide.

PAYS TO OWN A REPUBLIC
TRUCK SAYS FARMER

A news item in the Sentinel. a
newspaper published at Osceola, Ia. |.
will be of interest to all farmers in
this section of the country who own
Republic trucks as well as Anderson
e. Martinsen, the local dealers. The
item says:
I'm conversation with a reporter
Saturday, e. II. Thrasher OF Liberty
township stated that after fifty-six
years of farming continuously, on
the same place he learned something
new about delivering hogs to market
the day before. Being n careful bus
mess man. Mr.. Thrasher has learned
that there is usually from five to six
pounds of shrinkage per hog in de-
livering them to market. He had
six head ready to go last Friday so
he engaged a Republic truck with
which to deliver them. The hogs
weighed at the farm 1850 pounds.
After taking them to Osceola a dis
tance Of nine miles which took about
one hour, the animals weighed about
the same as they did on the farm.
Mr.. Thrasher is convinced that it
pays in dollars and cents as well as
in convenience to market hogs by
means of an auto truck. Many
hogs have been delivered in Osceola
this season by trucks but this Is the
first report we have had of the ex-
act results. The present indications
are that 1t may not be long until the
farmers generally have trucks Of
their own. and do like Mr.. Thrasher
did. purchase Republic truck the
day he was convinced that to own q
truck was to save time and money.

PROOF THAT HE DOES
WRITE TO HIS WIFE,

Be careful what you believe in tho
way of stories floating around and be
careful not to repeat them. These
stories run all the way from idle gcs-
sip to malicious charges. The lateAt
is to the effect that a married man
ran away, enlisted and his wife since
has been unable to hear from him.
That would be very bad thing, if
true. The aforesaid man is writing
to his wife every week, sometimes
oftener, and carries a government
life insurance policy of $4,000 in
favor of his wife and babies, besides
supporting them. The wife and near
relatives are very much hurt over the
story and of course could bring &C
ton for SANDER. Other stories are
to the effect that this man and that
man has large surplus of sugar or
flour which he has not yet returned
or was compelled to return large ex
cess. The only sensible thing to do
in all cases is to first make sure of
the truth of the story before repeat
ing it. 1t is not sufficient to say you
heard it" or so and so "says So"
If you think any man is evading the
food laws report the case to the food
commissioner and have it attended
to But, why be a gossip, anyway?
A man or woman ought to be able,
if they have any brains worth while,
to think of something else to talk
about beside their neighbor, or cir
culate little petty, and oftimes scan
dalous falsehoods about home folks.
The gossip-the tattler, the scandal
monger is about the meanest person
on earth. The next meanest is the
kaiser or the devil himself.

WRITING TO THE BOYS

In these days when letters mean
strength of a nation than ever be-
fore since pens and paper were in
vented, it would behoove every
woman who has man overseas to
keep a little red notebook handy.
In it she could jot down little
things which she knows would be Of
interest to him but which she pro-
badly forgets by the time she is
ready to write her letter.
Everybody does not have the
knack of writing an interesting let
ter. But the little red notebook
will help. Every time during busy
day that you think of something
which will interest your man across
the ocean, jOt it down. Your letters
will be much more interesting.
Now that the welcome news has
come that the United States govern
ment is Strengthening out the poor
mail delivery which has prevailed
since our troops entered France, we
can pitch into our letter writing
with renewed zest.

A TIME TO EXERCISE
SOBER JUDGMENT

We have added a couple OF mighty
mean words to our American VocaD-
ulary of late. They have successful
ly passed the various stages OF slang
and collouuialism and got themselves
accented by the dictionary makers.
One of them is the word Stacker
If was coined for the purpose OF eX-
pressing odium and it certainly mis-
tho bill. It never was dignifed by
Capitalization. Like mustard plas-
ter it is alright when properly ap-
piled, but extremely unpleasant, TO
where it doesn't belong.
Just at this time it is being slung
about in disgustingly promiscuous
manner. We have a small army Oh
under way, and an army of individ-
uals chosen to keep them moving,
and it seems like one is in danger OF
being branded Stacker for TINS
that and forty-seven other things II
he cannot see his way to support
everything in sight hot off the bat.
We're all keyed up pretty high these
DAYS, and our blood pressure gets
far above normal. Under such con-
ditions slips OF the tongue-it's al
WAYS an unruly member anyhow
are frequent anu piCSh"it "A'h PO
sibilities for trouble making.
OF course there are slackers,
few, a very few in relation to the en-
tire population. 1t is good thing
to hunt down the real slackers and
brand them; but We would much
rather see a few of them escape
which is unlikely-than to blacken
the character of single loyal cit
izen by ,ver-enthusiasm and snap
shot Judgment. No Stacker can be
a Stacker very long without giving
evidence of it. On
the other hand loyal man can cas-
lily be misunderstood or made tar
get by some vindictive shyster who
has a personal grudge to work out.
This yellow paint daubing is des-
picable. II man be under suspic-
ion give him an unbiased trial ac.
cording to law. The first duty Of
every patriotic citizen is to be law
abiding. We have no place in this
county for traitors and pro-German-
ism, neither have we any place for
yellow paint and mob rule.

TO CHAIRMEN AND
ENROLMENT AGENTS

The government is calling for
common laborers on construction
work which is under way and which
work is highly necessary to further
the war aims of this country. You
are urged to make an effort to di-
rect laborers to the office which is
nearest you for shipment from that
point to the work in question which
is located at Norfolk, Va.
For your information list of Of
ficers of this service are in opera
ton at the following points,
Sioux City, Cedar Rapids, Creston
Mason City, Davenport, Council
Bluffs, Waterloo, Ottumwa and
Des Moines.
Shipments of men from these
points will be made on Tuesdays,
Thursdays and Saturdays. Free fare
is given and no deduction is made
from the wage of the laborer after
his arrival at destination.
Age from twenty to fifty-five years
Colored laborers acceptable at
Sioux City, Council Bluffs and Des
Moines.
White only are acceptable and
they must be American born. For
eigners of any kind are undesirable
even though they may be citizens
of countries allied with our govern
ment. Persons of German, Aus
tralian or Bulgarian descent are
not wanted even though they be
American born.
The wage is Csc per hour for s
hrs. per day with time and a half
for overtime. Ten hours per day
are worked, thus making the men
a wage of $3.S5 per day. Board
and lodging is furnished on the job
for $1.00 per day. Living cordi-
tons reasonably good.
Bear in mind the fact that this
is an urgent call and every effort
should be made to direct men to
this necessary work but remember
the fact that men should not be
taken from food producing indus
tries, mining industries or railroad
work
1t is desired that this office be
kept informed as to progress being
made in recruiting laborers for the
work as outlined above. The or
der as given is good until further
notice.

THE GREAT GERMAN
OFFENSIVE OF 1918

The 1918 offensive of the German
army, carefully planned at Berlin,
was intended to overcome the allies
before America could bring over any
effective number of her troops. The
successive German drives which be-
gan March 21st, have become his
tory. We cannot think of them
without seeing the German divisions
sent forward, close packed, wave
succeeding wave, upon the allied
positions. In these drives, We know
the Germans were utterly regardless
of life, as their men fell others were
advanced to take their places.
To meet these various drives the
Allies under General Foch adapted
the tactics of slow and cautious re-
treat, giving up one position after
another to the German assaults, with
as much conservation of men and
supplies as possible. The period has
been with intense antiety for all the
allied counties. From day to day
there was no certainty that the al
lied line would hold.
General Foch was playing a wait
ing game, realizing that every day
that passed without absolute defeat
tended to strengthen the allied cause
America was charging her trans
portation facilities and increasing
the troops she poured across the
Atlantic. 244,000 men crossed in
May, 100000 in June, each unit
bolstering up the allied reserves.
At last in the July drive General
Foch felt himself strong enough to
/ inaugurate policy of counter-at-
tack. The German crown prince
threw his forces forward in salient
across the Marine. Successive French
American attacks imperiled the posi-
ton of the German army and brou-
ght about its retreat.
We now have the pictures of the
tables turned the Germans in full
retreat with tremendous losses Of
men and artillery, the French and
Americans in pursuit. The French
though war worn have not lost an
iota of the spirit and their courage
is huoyed up by our fine American
| troops pouring in.
The balance is again swinging to-
ward the Allies. On the one side is
| a great army advancing, full of hope
with the certainty of constant adj
dition of fresh enthusiastic troops.
| The harvest of America guarantees
an abundant food supply. On the
other side is retreat discourage
ment in the field hungry and dis
satisfied population at home. Our
hopes are rightfully high. We look
upon the present situation as the be-
ginning of the end, and trust that the
forward movement of the Allies will
be halted only when it has swept
through the last line of German de-
| lenses

SKILLED EGG GAMBLERS
SELDOM MAKE MISTAKES

Although the Gambling method of
determining the quality of eggs in
the shell is the best known for COM
mercial grading, recent investiga-
lions conducted show that one group
of eggs of inferior quality can not
be deducted by this system and that
it is the inadequate in grading still
another group. The investigations,
reported, show that experienced
gamblers and those using extreme
care do not make many mistakes
in grading eggs. Eggs with green
whites and those having a normal
appearance but bad oders are not re-
cognizable by Gambling. White rots,
more particularly mixed rots. eggs
with yolks slightly stuck to the
shell, blood rings and eggs with
bloody whites are not always de-
tected and are included in the group
most frequently miscandled by in
experienced or careless workmen.
Eggs with brown shells or light col
ored yolks make detection between
good and bad specimens more diff
cult.
In the studies with skilled cand-
lers. who candled a number of cases
of 80 dozen eggs each the average
proportion of bad eggs miscandled
per case varied from o. in spring
! firsts to 1877 in very low grade colo
storage eggs. The percentage OF
bad eggs which could not be found
| bv recandling ranged from none to
6.93 per cent per case and depend
ed on the grade of eggs examined.
In the commercial Gambling OF 100
1857 eggs, 5,9S5 bad eggs were found
| of which 71.65 per cent were re-
cognized by Gambling and the bal
ance or 2S.35 per cent, were no.
/ found until the eggs were opened
and examined individually. Then 1t
/ was observed that the $3.50 per cent
was divided between a group Of H.
| OF per cent bad eggs, which in many
instances are distinguishable by
| Gambling. and a second group OF
I11.33 per cent consisting OF types
of bad eggs which cannot be ois-
| covered until the eggs are broken;
The accuracy of Gambling depends
upon the quality of the eggs ana the
! skill of the GAMBLER. In plants nav
ing moor management ahI poor cand-
| lers the number of good eggs III tne
discards sometimes reached IL dozen
| to the case. The enforcement: OF
individual gamblers, particularly IN
plants employing inexperienced heip'
was found to be the best way 10
maintain high efficiency and thus ell
Intimate waste by grading MARKET
able eggs as rejects.
