Decorah public opinion. (Decorah, Winneshiek County [Iowa]) 1895-1928, 1918-02-20
Please Read this Letter From the
Food Administrations.

Reports are coming to us from
all parts of Iowa that various indi-
viduals have on hand from five to
fifty sacks of flour, purchased either
ton of boarding. Please note that
the day of purchase has no bearing
on the question of boarding. Take
away the excess -four. Sections six
and seven of the Food Commodities
licensing act give ample power"
So that the public may know what
the penalty is for boarding, either
innocently or otherwise, beg to say
that it is fine of not more than
$4,000, or Imprisonment of not more
than two years, or both.
This would seem somewhat dras-
tic, but it goes to show the serious
ness Of the situation ar regards GER
tain foods which we can eliminate if
we will.
A quiet investigation is going on,
and up to date we find that the ma
jorty Of our people are endeavoring
to conform to the rulings, and that
there are only few who are at
tempting to violate the law. | shall
take the matter up with these par
ties. In this connection | want to
thank the people for their co-opera-
ton, and believe that from now on
not a man, woman, or child in Win
neshiek County will disobey the law.
The Administration isquite will
ing that people who have boarded be
given an opportunity to restore their
excess supplies to the normal chan
nels OF trade. Each family in town
is entitled to have on hand one sack
of -four, but 10 more, and each fam
lily in the country is entitled to have
on hand two sacks of flour but no
more.
shall be glad to arrange to re-
turn to the trade any excess of -four
that Is held by those who are hoard
inginnocently or otherwise, provided
the report is made to me at once.

Food Administrator,

Earl Harding, Soldier on Ship Tor
pedOed and Sunk off Coast
Ireland Well Known i'm
DecOrah.
WRITES FRIEND HERE
BEFORE HE SAILED
His Home is at Prior Lake, Mimi.
and He Had Been Stationed
at Camp Merritt in New
Jersey.

Below we print letter from Earl
Harding, a young man who worked
IN Decorah during the building of
the sewer system here, and he is
we'll known to many of our people.
He was on the ship Tuscania which
was torpedoed and sunk off the
north coast of Ireland a couple of
weeks ago while transporting Ameri-
can troops. The letter was written
shortly before he sailed, and we
note that his name appears in the
list of ship survivors:
Camp Merritt, New Jersey,
Jan. 10, 1918.
Dear Friend:
Will drop you a few lines to let
you know / am still living, also in
the army. They changed their
mind about the discharge and are
going to keep me. You know you
can't keep a good man down, ha! ha!
Well we had real nice trip this
time, was about 155 hours on the
road, did not come very fast, but
saw a lot of country. Will tell you
some of the states we came through.
lrst we came through a part Of
Texas that we didn't see before,
then through Arkansas, Mississippi,
Alabama, Georgia, South Carolina,
North Carolina, Virginia, Maryland,
and into New Jersey also small
part of Pennsylvania. OF course
we stopped on several times and
took short hike in town. Our
first stop was at Texarkana; that is
a big town on the state line of
Texas and Arkansas. We got a
pretty good look at that place, ate
couple Of dishes of ice cream and
bought some cigaretts. Then we
stopped at Birmingham, Alabama,
but it was dark and raining, but

1O4 Selective Service Men From
Winneshiek County Go to Camp
Dodge Saturday Morning
WILL BE GIVEN FAREWELL
AT GRAND FRIDAY EVENING
Patriotic Program Will be Given in
Conjunction With Community
Singing. Atty. j. "A.
Nelson Will Speak.

The next increment of soldiers from
Winneshiek county, 104 in number,
have been called and will leave
here Saturday morning, Feb. %
at seven o'clock over the Rock Is
land. A committee was appointed by
the Commercial Club last week to ar
range a farewell program for the
boys on next Friday evening. AS
this date was originally planned for
Community singing it was arranged
between the committees to combine
the two, so a program of patriotic
songs has been made up, to be sung
by everybody, and these will be
interspersed by al address to the
departing soldiers by Attorney ]. A.
Nelson, and also the presentation of
comfort kits to "Our Boys
The list of names of the boys who
are to go has not been made public
by the exemption board, as the list
is not complete yet. Some of the
Decorah boys who go though are
Ben McGreevy, Victor Hoeg and
Emmett Hoar.
Word comes from the officials in
New York, who are sponsors for
The National Week of Song, that
the patriotic song America" shall
be sung wherever loyal Americans
are gathered, at 500 o'clock sharp
on Washington's Birthday, which is
Friday the 22nd.
On this account, patrons should
be in their seats at 7:45, as exactly
at 500 everybody will join in and
sing America.
The Luther college band will be
seated on the stage and will play
the accompaniments. Prof. Sperat
| will direct the singing.
An admission of ten cents will be
charged to take care of the expea
ses. AS originally planned, should
there be a surplus on hand after
| paying all expenses incident to the
weeks observance of the Nationa
Week of Song, it will be donated to
the Decorah Hospital.

NO VACANT LOTS THIS YEAR.
Growing of Weeds Will Not BE Per.
mitted. Gardens Are Wanted.

This year no vacant, idle lots will
be tolerated in Iowa. The follow
ing is taken from the Marshall
town Times Republican and is by
Geo. Nj. Lyon, who will see to it
that all lots are utilized; and the
idea applies equally well to every
town in the state:
There must be a garden planted
and cultivated on every resident
lot in the city this ear. No weeds
will be allowed to grow and go to
seed within the city limits. / am
empowered with the authority to
see that this rule is enforced.
The taxes will be assessed higher
on every lot where there is no gar
den and the weeds are allowed to
grow and go to seed. We claim the
right to take possession Of any ne
elected piece of ground, cut the
weeds and plant to crop and culti-
NdtC IiC Setulc lcA luC CoSlo "
the lot.
1t will be more satisfactory for
the owner of the property to work
his own lot or select renter, make
his own contract, and save us much
unnecessary work.
Now is the time for any person
who wants lot to plant and culti-
vate, to get hustle on himself, get
lot in his own neighborhood, look
up the nonresident owners and write
them and send this notice to them.
Put aside the golf AID baseball
clubs and organize for contests with
the hoe and rake and get some real
fun and value out of your exercise.
Show your patriotism by something
of real value to your city and
government.
am at your call either day or
night to give assistance in this gar
en- business. Get busy now. George
NJ. Lyon, manager"
