Amsterdam, Dec. British troops
entered Cologne at four o'clock Fri
day afternoon.

We go to press too early this week
to give anything like full account Of
the proceedings of the Methodist Con-
ference now in session in Barlow but
in behalf of our people we extend to
one and all hearty greeting and 4
cordial welcome. The homes Of our
town have been thrown open, perhaps
as never before, to its distinguished
guests. Their coming is an honor to
Barlow, and an honor to Polk county
that is duly appreciated. While these
good preachers and representatives
from the various churches Of the
State are here we are trying to be
good, and even II we are not all
Methodists we don't mention the fact
when one of these good men chances
to drop in. When It comes to enter
tanning guests, Barlow comes near
being united people, and we trust
no one will depart with any feeling OF
regret that the 1918 Conference was
held In the City OF 0aks.-Bartow

SELLING BABIES TO

Paris, Dec. 7.-"Selling babies to

acterization of his activities as Red

said to friend who met him in
French village and asked what he was
doing. my particular outfit OF men
have sold ten babies in the last ter
days and we expect to sell a hundred
more within the next two months.
Why, it's the greatest business In
France today-this selling of babies
to soldiers.
"We have been wording with
bunch OF men up pretty close to the
front lately, and when pay day comes
around there's nothing much to do
with their money, So we Y. M. C. A.
men began to figure out something to
Offset that.
There are 50 men in a platoon, and
we suggested that each platoon should
adopt baby on pay day. II costs 500
francs to take care OF baby for one
year, and that meant that all but nine
men in platoon should pay 5 francs
each on the first instalment, and Ave
francs each on the following pay day
, Making payment each time of $50
francs, or the 500 in all. Each platoon
elects a leader who acts as a go-be'
tween, for the babies are bought
through the baby department of the
stars and Stripes. On the payment Of
the second and final instalment the
leader gets seven pictures Of the child

Gee, Sawyer, this baby business Is
great. Who wouldn't rather have
baby than jag,

while there is no danger from ma

real and pressing danger from armor'

"Unless it is possible to get within
