nounces himself as candidate for con-
gress from the Fourth congressional
district to succeed the Hon. G. N.

ord as senator from this district in the
last two legislatures and is capable in
every way to fill the position. He is
we'll known in the eastern part of the
district and will make q strong can
vass for the nomination in the pri-
mary. There is considerable feeling in

the Office long enough and there is q
great deal of dissatisfaction over the

ton. 1t promises to be lively and in

Very Urgent! Let Your Soldier Be
Insured.

Parents and relatives of Howard Co.
boys who are serving the United States,
attention!
If you have proof that your soldier
has taken War Risk Insurance, pay no
attention to this, unless he wants more
insurance. He is entitled to $1,000
worth.
If you are not positive of this, ca'l
on me, or phone me for blank for you
to fill out and mail to him. He must
apply for insurance in person and sign
this blank before his commanding
officer.
If he entered the service before Oct.
Is, 1917, his application. must be filled
by you, mailed to him, and signed and
filed before the commanding officer
BEFORE February IL, 1918. Later
than that it will be impossible for him
to get any insurance whatsoever. II
he entered later, he has a little more
time.
The Government furnishes the best
most reasonable insurance obtainsble,
so do not let q single Howard County
Patriot, fighting our battles, 60 to the
csntonment even without taking all the
insurance he can carry or can obtain.
The above blanks are obtainable only
from me and furnished by the Home
Service Department of the Red Cross.

Patriotic and Thrift Meeting.

The meeting at the Opera House
Wednesday evening to boom the sale OF
Thrift Stamps and War Savings
Stamps was a decided success in spite
of the intensely cold night which kept
many at home.
Robert Thomson presided. Selec.
tions were given by ladies quartette
and male quartette which judging by
the hearty applause were we'll received,
all the songs being appropriate to the
occasion. >'..'
C. W. Reed, local fuel administrator
for the county called attention to the
curtailed business hours, and announ-
ced that the opera house management
had voluntarily fell in line with the
movement and that for some time
there would be no Monday night pic
ture shows.
4 MIR. Thompson in one Of his chsrac-
teristic talks introduced the speaker,
Senator Rule of Mason City, who gave
a fine address along patriotic and thrift
lines. He commenced by giving .
short historical! review of the efforts
for centuries of the Huns to subjugate
their neighbors and put autocracy
above democracy, showing that the
Germans in the present war with their
cruelty and oppression are no more
civilized and honorable than their an
cesters who sought to enslave the citi-
izens of ancient Gaul and Rome. He
showed that their aims were eventually
to take all Europe and the United
States under control, hating the states
as democracy which would ever be q
menace to autocracy.
To prevent this, war was necessary
and to persecute the war successfully
and back the boys in the trenches
money in immense sums must be loaned
to the government by the people.
Liberty Bonds and War Savings
Stamps must be bought literally, and
to do so it will be necessary for the
American people to practice real thrift
and save the immense waste of which
the people are generally guilty.
As result CT the meeting, a new
interest was stimulated in War Savings
Stamps and on the day following the
meeting the postoffice force was kept
busy all day selling and registering
stamps. The banks are all busy push.
ing the sale and it is urged that by
Sunday next, Thrift Day, that every
adult person in Iowa shall be the owner
Of at least one War Savings Stamp,
and every child at least one Thrift
Stamp.

The Farmers Golden Opportunity.

Nowhere in the world has anyone
profited more from the war than the
American farmer. Prices of grain, of
live stock and in fact, everything the
farmer has to sell are higher now than
he ever dreamed of. And the end 10
not vet. -.
1: is true the farmer has his troub.
les. Help is hard to get and the cost Of
production, goes up month by month.
What the farmer has to buy also has
gone up in price. But the farmer, un-
like the city dweller, can purchase
very little and still get along. His liv.
ing is largely on his Own; farm.
n In spite oh the problem he has p
meet, the farmer is better of no.
than he ever was. He should respond.
therefore, without stint to his coun-
try's call for aid. .
The world needs food and the Cow
ernment needs money. The farmer
can provide both. He should work
with all his might to produce the food
the hungry world demands and invest
as much as permitted to by the Gov
ernment in War Savings Stamps. If he
does this he will be doing his country .
double service.
The security on War Savings Stamps
is the best in the world; the interest
rate is good and they cannot decline in
value. Men, women and children who
own them are insured against adver-
sity.
