In a recent number Of the News
Herald .'Ingen," (meaning "nobody'D
gives his Tor her) views upon the
question of a change of name for
the town of Schroeder. If there was
any sentiment in favor of such a
change it had not caused many sleep
less nights among the Schroeder citi-
zens before "Ingen's" letter appear
ed. It had not occurred to them that
their loyalty was in danger of con-
tamination or that it is to be judged
by the name Of the town in which
they live. think the average Schroe-
derite's loyalty is so far above sus-
picion that he need not resort to
such petty agitation to prove it.
Let us not turn the name of loyal
ty to the abusive use of cloaking all
sorts of schemes. If anybody thinks
that this town should be called "Red-
myer" in preference to Schroeder, he
must come with better reasons that
'1ngen" offers. There are people here
yet who can remember how little
Redmyer enterprise was in evidence
when the Schroeder Lumber Com
pany came to town and established
an immense business enterprise here;
and to all such people "Ingen's"
comparison Of Redmyer and Schroe-
der as public benefactors would be
laughable if it was not so disgusting.
But why waste time in discussing
this phase of the matter. '1ngen''
suggests the name of Cross River as
his, or her, second choice; and this
cannot be Objectionable to anybody.
1t is the name of one of the finest of
north shore streams and the name
by which this town has always been
quite generally known. There could
be no public inconvenience from such
change, while it would be con-
cession to those who from patriotic
motives object to a German-sounding
-name-although I cannot help re-
peating that there are hundred
other better ways of showing our
patriotism.
SO let's make it unanimous and
call it Cross River. l understand
that "a petition. is being circulated
in town for that purpose, to be pre-
sented to the county board.
A PIONEER SCHROEDERITE.
Since writing the above l read in
the Duluth Herald letter from
Frederick J. Schroeder in reference
to this matter. l am handing you "A
clipping knowing that, in fairness,
you will be pleased to publish it ir
this connection.
Referring to Ingen's letter Mr..
Schroeder says:
I'VE are interested to know where
this foolish idea originated. If there
are better Americans in the United
States than ourselves we would like
to- know it. We have never been OBJ
Eged to apologize. for our loyalty,
and if the people who have any mis-
givings about our name will look ap
the writer's record on war work in
the government service they will find
that no apology is required. We find
that the majority of the people with
German names in this city are doing
their full duty, and in many cases
are doing far more than people with

Left Here in August for
Camp Custer, Near
Battle Greek.

Friends in this city have been ad.
vised that Captain NJ. B. Galloway, who
has been at Camp Custer, near Battle
Creek, Michigan, will probably return
to Webster City this week and resume
his practice of medicine.
This will be good news to the cap
tain's many friends here. He volun-
teered for medical service in the army
last spring and was called to the col
ors in August. Prior to his call he
took an examination and won a COM
mission as captain.
Captain Galloway left large and
lucrative practice in Webster City and
community to serve in the army and
now that the men in the environments
are to be demobilized as rapidly as
railroad facilities will permit, his
many friends here will be glad to see
him return.

administra tion's plea that home grown
products be consumed at the big
spreads has been accepted in practical
| ly all sections of the state.
| The main object of the Thanksgiving
dinner-turkey- argue, has to
be an Iowan to amount to anything.
The young Iowa turkeys that have
been fattened during the last few
months are now pouring into the mar
kets of the state,s-cities and soon will
be beheaded and put into shape for the
feast.
Practically every farmer in Iowa has
a lot of pumpkins and these together
with the home made mince meat vii!
bring up the home grown pie rations
of the day.
The plea for the home grown dinner
is to relieve all unnecessary trans
portation of fOodstuffs.
Indications are that where it is i'm
possible Ito use mostly home products
there will be a Saving" meal rather
than feast.
Thanksgiving Day, 1918, will be the
greatest in all history. This year the
month of November, set aside as of
old for Thanksgiving is memorable for
events of victory and peace. Its cele-
bration should be made appropriate by
patriotic menus indicative Of thrift and
Americanism. In our joy let us not
forget the call of thousands of hungry
persons overseas. Let this meal be
simple, substantial and home grown.
The following menu, much of which
can be prepared the day before, is for
a family desiring simplicity. Sirups
may be used for the sweetening Of the
pudding. The salad course may be
omitted if desired, a gain in labor and
in fat. Use celery leaves for platter
garnish. The last course may be the
center piece.
Suggested Menu.

The first week of December has been
chosen by the Farm Bureau officers
and directors for the annual member
ship drive. A special representative
from the government will be secured
to work with the township directors in
making this canvass. During the past
year this organization has made a
strong record and as shown by the fol-
lowing statement it should be made the
strongest Farm Bureau in the state.
Reasons why farmers should sup
port the Farm Bureau:
A. During the past year the Farm
Bureau has
1. Furnished 254 farm laborers.
2. Located and distributed enough
seed corn for last seasons crop when
the county was short 5000 bushels.
3. Located and distributed 1900
bushels of spring wheat seed.
4. Established uniform and reason
able prices for corn husking.

for smut.
s. Established free Farm Bureau

Hold Informal Meeting and
Decide to Keep Quaran-
tine on Another
II Week.
IS THE SIXTH WEEK
Where Doubt Exists Coun.
Gil Will Take no
Chances.

The city council met in informal ses-
sion yesterday afternoon to discuss the
question Of,when to lift the Spanish
influenza quarantine in this city.
However, they still hold to the decision
reached Friday. night that the lid"
should not be lifted before next Mon
day.
1t follows, therefore. that there can
be no Thanksgiving services or propa-
ganda meetings in the interest Of the
War Savings Stamp campaign of that
day. This fact, while regretful, can
be remedied as far as the Thanksgiv-
ing day service is concerned. The plan
suggested by q local minister is to have
Mayor Clark issue a proclamation for
the observance of later date for
Thanksgiving
Honor of State.
The honor of Iowa is at stake in the
War Savings Stamp campaign, which
it is hoped to bring to successful con-

done if every person will do his or her

Utmost Precaution.
The council, in taking the stand to
maintain the quarantine until all dam
ger has passed. recognize that human
life is above all other considerations.
The sixth week of the quarantine regu-
lations in this city is now passing, but
despite every precaution possible there
have been a number of local deaths.
Other towns have lifted the quarantine
earlier and have been forced to put it
: aGk- on and conditions over the state
generally are nowhere as good as they
are here ut the present time.
Where doubt exists take no
chances. This would seem to be the
theory of the council. which appears
to be indicated by existing conditions.
