Arrangement Made for
Sending of Food to
Belgium and France

Arrangements have been COM
pleted for the relief OF the 100000
Belgians and French people now
within territory occupied by the
Germans, according to information
coming from Herbert Hoover to
Gurdon w. Wattles, federal food
administrator for Nebraska.
To transport the great volume OF
foods across, the allied governments
have placed 100000 tons OF shipping
at the disposal of the relief commits
sion, of which Mr.. Hoover is chair
man-this in addition to the vessels
. already controlled by the commits
sion.
The food program, as outlined,
will cost during the next twelve
months $2S0,000,000 for purchase
and transportation. The financing
has been arranged on the basis of
advances to be made the Belgian
and French governments by the
United States, in amounts sufficient
to pay for materials purchased here.
England and France are advancing
sums to cover purchases made in

Cottage Cheese Campaign

The United States is undertaking,

creating OF new demand on the
American table. For years we have
ted to animals or wasted outright
large amounts of skim milk. And
whya Because no one appreciated
its possibilities. At least not
enough people appreciated, them to
pay for the trouble of converting
the milk into cheese. We have
scorned skim milk and looked upon
cottage cheese as something ex-
ira" not realizing that cottage
cheese is a splendid food worthy
of a real place in a meal.
Let me give you an idea of the

Robbers Plan to Get Nice Bunch of
Money But Get Fooled and
Beat up Victim.

Last Wednesday night f. j Hoff,
OF Des Moines, was the victim of a
hold-up pulled off about 7 miles west
of Milo, and pretty badly treated by
the bandits.
AS we get the story it seems that
Mr.. Hoff was called up from La
moni, where he has brother living,
stating that he could get a splendid
bargain on an automobile in La
moni and if he would bring $4OO in
cash and come soon the deal could
be made. Mr.. Hoff drew the money
out of the bank and started: When
he reached a point about Z miles
west. of Milo three men in two au-
toes stopped him and demanded the
money he had. When he did not
hand out the money promptly the
three thugs attacked him and beat
him about the head in a severe man
ner with the butts of revolvers;;
After their victim was rendered
helpless they searched for se the money, nor y
his pocket, as he. had cautiously
placed the big roll in the hood of
his machine.
The hold-up men left their victim
by the road side, where Fred Cue
found him some time later. An In
dianola doctor was called and ad-
ministered to the injured man and
he was cared for at the Cue home
until the next day.
No arrests have been made. so far,
but may be soon. Hr. HOff states
that no one knew he had the money
but one or two Des MOines men, and
that the call from Lamont was bo-
guS-MilO Motor.

BIG Yield Of Wheat, 40 Bushels Pei
Acre on Hardin Lillard Farm.

The biggest yield of wheat we
have heard of this season was on
the Hardin Lillard farm west OF
town, Mr.. Lillard had about six
acres which yielded 40 bushels Ell; m to to
from Mr.. Lillard the conditions. un-
der which this wheat was raised
He said he plowed the land last
August, when it was hot and the
ground hard and kept working it
with one thing and another at vari,
GUS times until he had regular bed
of dust. September 20 he drilled
it, setting the drill just as deep as as
it would go, using two bushels OF
seed to the acre and now thinks 1t
would have been better to haye us
ed only a bushel and half per
acre, as it came up pretty thick.

1t Pays to Deliver Hogs in Truck

In conversation with the Sentinel
reporter Saturday E. r. Thrasher of
Liberty township stated that after
fifty-six years continuous farming on
the same place he learned some
thing about delivering hogs last
Friday. Being, a careful business
man Mr.. Thrasher has learned that
there is usually from five to six
pounds shrinkage PEI. hog in 2 dellx- :, ~.
head ready to go last Friday SO he
engaged a truck with which to de.
liver them. The hogs weighed at
the farm 1850 pounds: After max
ing the trip of nine miles to Osceola
which took about one hour the ami
mails weighed about the same as
they did at 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 deliv-
cred in Osceola this season by trucks
but this is the first report We have
had of the exact results. The pres.
ent indications are that it may not
be long until farmers will more gen.
orally have trucks of their own
