NEED FOR FRUIT PITS AND
NUTSHELLS FOR GAS MASKS

In response to an urgent request
by telegraph from the Gas Defense
Division, Welfare Service, U. S.
Army, New York city, Governor Phil
ipp asks that the people of the state
give special attention to the collec-
ton of fruit pits and nutshells. In
order to meet the demands for this
high quality of carbon for gas masks
one million pounds a day of fruit pits
and nut shells are required.
Since the campaign for the cOllec-
ton of this carbon material was
started, there has been a noticeable
falling off in the collection. The gov
ernOr of Massachusetts has desig-
mated November 9 as Gas Mask
Day." and urges people generally to
make a special effort on that day to
speed up the collection.
Red Cross chapters all over the
state will accept the collections and
forward them to the proper points.
Governor Philip asks that every
community in the state make a spe-
cial effort for one month to speed
up the collection of pits or seeds from
peaches, plums, cherries, apricots
prunes, dates, olives and gather from
woods all hickory nuts, walnuts and
butternuts, and deliver their collec-
tons daily to their local Red Cross
chapters.

SEA BUFFALO "GOOD EATING"
Other Things Beside the Beefsteak,
to Which the Nation Is Attached,
May Be Made of Use.

Sirloin Of sea buffalo is much es.
teemed in San Francisco and other
Pacific coast cities, where meat of this
highly valued animal is coming to mar
ket in such quantities as to lower the
cost Of living by keeping down the
price Of beef and mutton.
Sea COWS and sea horses have long
been Familiarity known, but most folks
would confess themselves unacQuaint-
ed with the sea buffalo. If they saw
one, they would call it whale; and
no wonder, for that is the sea buff
falo's other name.
Some people, might be prejudiced
against eating whale meat, but sea
buffalo steak sounds good. 1t is good
quite equal, in fact, to the best beef
steak, and hardly distinguishable from
the latter. In the market, sea buffalo
tenderloin (boneless "filet") costs only
Is cents a pound; other cuts are
cheaper.
The gray whale Common in Pacific
waters) furnishes most Of the meat.
A 6O-foot specimen will yield as much
butchers material as 20 head Of cattle.

TOWN HAS HISTORIC PAST
Resort, Has Been Well Known
Through Many Centuries.

Ilfracombe is rapidly becoming popu-
lar as summer resOrt-Or, as the Eng
lish call it. watering place. 1t is set
on q steep hillside, surrounded by "the
seven hills" on the beautiful Devon
shire coast From the near town of
HillsbOrough IlfracOmbe shows q mass
Of white cottages, clinging desperately
to the hillside to keep from tumbling
into the Atlantic ocean.
Many people think that Ilfracombe
is modern town, in spite of it's quaint
ness, because 1t has such an up-tO-date
air. But Ilfra combe is a skillfully cam
ouflaged antique, having been harbor
Of some note way back in the twelfth
century. This attractive townlet has
been inflicted with great variety Of
jaw-breaking names during the CEN
turtles of it's existence. It's names
range all the way from Aelfringcombe
and IlfOrdscOmbe to AlfredscOmbe,
and, at last, Ilfracombe. But the good
folk round about nfracombe just call
it 'Combe.
In 1914 Ilfracombe was one of the
as English ports that sent representa-
tives to the council Of shipping, and in
1916 it was captured by Fairfax. They
say there were some hot skirmishes at
that time in what Is now known as
'Bloody Meadow" Some cannon balls
of that period found here corroborate
this tale.
In these olden days wrecks near H.
fracombe were frequent, and pearls
and other valuable treasures of the In
dies were oftentso to advantage by
the fisher folk to merchants in neigh
boring towns.

First OUakerS.

The first Quakers to land on Ameri-
can soil were Mary Fisher and Ann
Austin, who reached Boston in 1856
after a long voyage from England by
way Of the West Indian island Of Bar
bados. The two women caused great
CONSERVATION to the Puritans, and
George Bishop, in an address to the
magistrates, said:
1.-TWO women arriving in your har-
Dor so shock ye, to the everlasting
shame Of you and Of your established
order, as if a formidable army had in
vaded your borders"
The Quaker sect, or Society of
Friends, was founded by Fox in 1913,
about eight years before the first men,
bers reached America on July II, 1856.
Later George Fox visited America.
The part played by William Penn and
other Quakers in the early history Of
Pennsylvania and New Jersey is IA
miliar to all students Of history.

That "a friend in need is a friend

weeks, sans school, sans church, sans
movies. Apparently "f1u" germs are
not cultured, as, SO far as we have
been able to ascertain, none has ira
veled by the book route from home to
home, leaving devastation in it's wake.
The circulation for the past month
was 1125 greater than for the CORES
ponding month of good health of last
year. This fact proves that the Ii
brary's claim to the adage; also the
appreciation expressed by many pa
irons that they could still come to
the library. On Saturdays the circu-
lation has been particularly large, as
'"churchless Sundays" mean more
time for reading. But, strange to re-
late, the type of book most sought is
not the kind that one would unQues-
tionably associate with Sabbath medi-
tation. Why not, just for this last
closed Sunday, choose book that will
give new inspiration for the weeks
work, or one that will lend cheer for
these days Of trials and perplexities :?
New fiction is all right, quite fine
in it's way; but, this week, give 1t

ASKS SOME QUESTIONS.

The following article which con-
tains matter pertinent to the election
of district attorney is taken from the
Jefferson Banner of this week:
A. L. STENCIL FOR DISTRICT
ATTORNEY.
Ray G. Twining, the republican can
didate for district attorney, is circu-
lating the following article:
Authorized and Circulated by Ray c..
Twining, Waterloo, Wis.,
Voter, do not be fooled into voting
for man for district attorney who
has gone to war, who can not hold
two offices and can certainly attend
to but one. He can neither do the
work nor draw the pay. Mr.. TWining
is man who is amply qualified and if
he is elected he will do the work and
get the pay. The office will be looked
after better than it has been for some
time.-Lake Mills Leader.
The Enterprise will add that Mr.
Stengel is now in military service and
if he should be elected the office of
district attorney would be vacant. He
would have no authority to appoint a
deputy. The governor would have to
appoint to fill the vacancy.
Never, t. our knowledge, has an
article been circulated in a political
campaign in this county which con-
tanned more misstatement in small
space than the above. Mr.. Twining
having now fathered it, he must be held
responsible
To begin with, Mr.. Twining might be
in better business than slurring bro
Their attorney. Alvin Stengel is rec
ognized as one of the most able law
yers in this part of the state He GER
tainly does not suffer by a comparison
with his opponent. In his absence
Judge Grimm has appointed Judge
Charles B. Rogers, as district attorney
pro tempore. Judge Rogers has had
four years experience as district at
torney of this county and the duties
OF the office will be well looked after
in Mr.. Stengels absence If elected
as he certainly will be-Mr Stengel
will qualify, and the office will not
be vacant.
Now let us ask Mr. Twining a ques-
ton or two. Does his argument ap-
ply to the republican candidate for
county treasurer, running on the
ticket with him, who is also away in
the service? What do the voters think
of a candidate who will take advant-
age of the absence of his opponent to
misrepresent him?
Mr. Stengel is married, has a wife
and two children, is in deferred CLASH
fcation, and he enlisted in the SER
vice of his country. Mr. Twining is
married, has wife and no children,
and he did not enlist in the service
OF his country. What does he suppose
the patriotic people of this county
think Of his argument that Mr.. STEM
gel should be defeated because he en-
listed?
Let's all vote for A. L. Stengel and
make it unanimous!

Napoleon's Horses Trained.

Extraordinary were the precautions
taken that Napoleon should never APP
pear at disadvantage on horseback.
The emperor was not a first-class
horseman, and his horses were always
thoroughly broken in. Here is a de.
scription Of the methods employed:
"Ihey were trained to remain per.
fectly steady under tortures of every
description; to receive blows about the
head; drums were beat, pistols and
crackers fired in their ears, flags
waved before their eyes, clumsy pack
ages, and sometimes even sheep and
pigs, were thrown between their legs.
"None of the animals were deemed
sufficiently trained till the emperor
could, without the least difficulty, pull
them up short at full gallop, which
was his favorite pace"
