Death Of J. E. Webster.

The community was greatly shocked
yesterday afternoon to learn of the
death at noon of ]. C. Webster at
Mercy hospital in Chicago where on
Sunday last he underwent an operation
for gallstones. He underwent SINH
lar operation about five years ago but
has had severe recurr ent attacks which
necessitated another operation in the
hope Of relief. He had several at
tacks after leaving Cresco last Friday
and the W. akened condition in which
they left him probably caused failure
to rally from the operation.
It's expected that the remains will
arrive in Cresco on. Saturday morning
for interment in the family lot in the
kendallville cemetery, with the funer-
al in charge of the Masonic fraternity.

Excess Flour Found in the Home Of E.
R. Abbey at Decorah.

After full knowledge of the law
against boarding, and having been noti-
fed to return his excess flour, Mr..
Abbey still neglected to do so. The
situation has long been known by the
Food Administrator, but no action was
taken in the hopes that Abbey would
realize the seriousness of the matter,
if not develop feeling of duty to our
boys who were fighting his little fam
ily's battles as we'll as for the freedom
of the world. Nothing of this kind has,
apparently, appealed to him, until the
local Observation-Disclosures wassccmpelled
to take possession of the stock. Mr..
Weiser, after making close enquiries or
local merchants, cannot find that
Abbey has bought poundj of substi-
tutes.
1t is said that Abbey has bought no
bonds, clearly thereby showing conclus-
lively that he is unwilling to assist the
Government under which he lives; that
he has no mercy, for it is said that he
has refused to do but little, if anything,
for the Red Cross, Y. M. C. A., X. c.,
&C. .... '.1 ~
1t is to be regretted that such action
was necessary; but no one, rich or
poor, will be spared it caught boarding.
The law is real and no joke, as Mr..
Abbey will soon learn, as he is called
to Oes Moines to meet the United
States Food Administration. %
There are three other like cases that
will be attended to as soon as this is
disposed of, unless the -four is
returned.
The foregoing is published by request
of the Winneshiek County Food Admin
istrator. ~ q+.F y ssa 2,e's sssss

Called Aecordinx to Order Number,

Adjutant General Guy E. Logan has
notified our Local Board that they shall
not postpone the calling of men in
Class One who are engaged in agri-
culture until the end of the quota, but
to call men in Class One according to
their order number.
This will necessitate the calling of
registrants for Military service in the
order of their order number, regardless
of their occupation.

War Savings Stamp Proclamation.
To the People of Iowa.


To the People of Iowa.
BY virtue of authority in me
vested, and in harmony with the great
national movement to assist the federal
government in financing the war by
saving and investing in War Savings
and Thrift Stamps, I hereby set apart
the week beginning May 4th and end
ing May 18th as IT,
THRIFT PLEDGE WEEK.
Under the rules and regulations, no
one person can buy more than One
Thousand Dollars worth of War Savings
Stamps. These bear four per cent.
interest, compounded quarterly, and
are always redeemable at par.
Iowa has been asked to purchase
Forty Eight Million Dollars worth Of
these securities during the year ending
December 31st, 1918. Up to this time,
only Six Million Dollars worth have
been purchased. In order to meet the
request of the government and COM
plete our quota, every man, woman
and child in the state must purchase at
least Twenty Dollars worth of these
stamps. This week, beginning May
4th, and ending May llth, is set apart
so that our people may complete their
pledges ind that the government will
be assured that the money will be forth
coming. Payments can be made from
time to time, as late as December 31st,
1918. 49,.
These War Savings and Thrift
Stamps are not designed solely for
children aud those of small means.
They are for everyone-for you.
These stamps are liquid security for
the accommodation of the public As
financial investment, the War Savings
Stamp is, if possible, more desirable
than Liberty Bond.
The money derived from the sale of
War Savings and Thrift Stamps goes
into the federal treasury and is used to
feed, clothe, and furnish guns and
for the men who are fight
ing our battles in the trenches and ON
the sea. If the government should not
have the monev at hand when needed
and you have not loaned to the govern
ment up to your ability, the day of VIC
tory will be retarded and you will have
to answer. s u qa+ gsea a
God has prospered US in a marvellous
way and for . purpose. This is our
oppcrtunitN. n individuals Iand as :
state to sesRe the world BY fslEishing
the money which we, have in abund-
ance to keep the torch Of civilization
burning. " a~
I call upon all our people to assist
those in authority locally to make this
success. Individually, you
owe it to our fighting forces to see to
It that everyone in your community
pledges either the limit or up to their
full ability as they have been prospered.
Let every minister devote one service
IN Sunday, May 5th, to this cause.

There is still some excess flour in the
hands of consumers in Winneshiek Co.

cuted or reported.
