If Iowa is to do its share in supply

"The conservation we must practice.
now is not to cut down so much on
any specific items as we had to do
last year." says Miss Knowles. Son
servation now means that we must
make a systematic effort to cut down
in our eating all around the menu. We
need to serve simple rather than elab-
crate meals. We. should serve with
out waste. We should serve less food
at meals. Most people areS inclined
to overeat. Restaurants and hotel
cooks are still under rules in regard
to servings. The housewife could OBJ
serve the, same in her own serving"
l have often had farmers tell me
OF the adyisability Of keeping a good
brood mare or two ION the farm. To
prove their worth 4 want to call your
attention to the recent farm sale of
John Kearney on his farm located six
miles northwest of Vail. The follow
ing, all colts from the same mare,
which has been raising a colt every
year as well as more than paying for
her keep in work on the farm, brought
the following prices: A team, mare
and gelding. six and seven years old,
brought $40; five year old gelding
sold for $1S5; two year old unbroken
mule, $245; three year old mare, $165;
yearling, 500; sucking colt, $55. Our
advice is for every farmer to keep at
least two good brood mares and the
time was never better than right now
to buy them. Get rid OF. all inferior
horses and put in their places all the
good big brood mares that one can
afford to buy. Right now the price OF
a chunk in France is $500, and $500
to $1,000. for a draft horse in Great
Britain. understand that recently
Germany bought $50 horses in Sweden
for $1,740 per head.

SISTERS OF SOLDIERS
MAY GO ABROAD

The stringent rule OF the War De
partmcnt prohibiting women who have
relatives in the American army in
France. has been modified TO permit
the sisters of soldiers to go under GER
tain conditions One of these provides
that the woman who marries an officer
or soldier in the American EXpedi-
tionary force after her arrival shall
be automatically sent back to the Uni
ted States by the organization with
which she is serving.
The following memorandum on the
subject was issued by the War Depart
ment recently:
"On representation OF responsible
heads OF the Red Cross, r. NJ c. A
and other allied bodies who are doing
war work i'm France that they are un-
able TO obtain a sufficient number OF
women as workers, the prohibition by
The War Department concerning the
granting OF passports TO relatives of
officers and men in the United States
army, is modified so as to permit the
use of sisters of soldiers as workers
under the following conditions
Il The sisters must be duly &C
credited members of one of the regu-
larly authorized organizations.
-. Each must be particularly quail
fed by training for the position she is
to fill.

worker, and not as a relative
"a. That she will make no effort TO
see her relatives in France, whether
sick or we'll
'5. That the organization to which
she belongs will make itself RESPONSE
BILE for returning her to America in
case she violates these rules.
Sc That if she marries an officer or
a soldier in the American Expedition
airy Forces after her arrival she will
automatically be sent back TO the Uni
ted States by the organization in
which she is serving.
IAN agreement has been reached
with the heads Of the organizations

CANNED" MUSIC
FOR THE TROOPS

Our troops are getting the canned
music" habit and many units in camp
here and in the trenches in Franz
have monographs to which they have
become so attached that they would
as soon think of trekking without
their mess-kits as of leaving the music
box behind.
A regiment at Camp Merritt, near
Tenafiy, n. j., would have lost its talk
ing machine recently when the order
came to entrain had it not been for
w. II. Bailey, the Y NJ. C. A. general
secretary at that camp. The regiment
had suspected that it was to be moved
perhaps to standardization point
and had sent to New York City for a
trunk in which to pack the phono-
graph. Orders to move came sudden
ly and the soldiers were downhearted
at the prospect of abandoning their
talking machine.
Mr.. Baxley heard of their trouble,
as he does of nearly everything that
goes wrong with the men in camp,
and sent a "Y" motortruck to New
York for a trunk When the entrain-
ing time arrived the truck had not re-
turned and the soldiers went aboard
the train sorely disappointed Mr.
Bailey, in the meantime, had learned
that the train would be delayed for
half an hour at Dumont and promised
to try to get the music box to them
there.
The truck with the trunk arrived a
few minutes after the troops had pull
ed out. Mr. Baxley packed the music
box and instructed the chauffeur of
the truck to shave the speed limit for
Dumont The train was just leaving
the station when he arrived. but it
was tagged and came to a stop amid
the shouts of the men. They were
happy again at having their music
box back and were laughing and
cheering as the engineer opened the
throttle
