PREFERENCE TO SOLDIERS REL
S. ATIVES.

The Universal Film Manufacturing
company issues a. circular suggesting
that employers when practica Bile give
preference in hiring help, to the wives,
daughters and widows of soldiers.
When the sad casualty lists come in
a great many women previously com
Portable will find themselves with but
meager support. Whatever they get
from, pensions and insurance will not
go far with prices at their sky high
level. Many of these women will have
children to support.
These women have given their all.
The rest of us have only given little
money. They are entitled to the most
favorable consideration. They will be
eornest workers. as they have learned
the seriousness OF life.
Also many women whose soldier
boys are still unhurt will also have to
seek work, their usual income having
gone for the present. These also are
entitled to the same friendly consider
alton as the same liability and willing
ness to sacrifice exists.

OF this is invested in seed corn. In
addition to seed corn they have large
bins filled with seed oats, wheat, bar

corn is home grown, and it is the same
with the other seeds, except the alfal-
ia and some clover.
1t is certainly an interesting sight
to visit the seed corn building. One
is almost led to believe there is no
such thing as a shortage of seed corn
after q visit to this building. There
are 1 500 bushels Of corn on the cob
in this building, placed in wire racks
and tho temperature IN the building

and dry. Six mcn--old and young
have been employed in testing the seed

are tested in each Setting" The wa

best, is used. We will say, in passing.

SANS BLUFF.

There's fellow. Joe Gibbs, who keeps
store
At Bingham's corners, know its more
Than twenty years that he has SOLD
TO every one round there, young and
old.
There is no other store in the town,
For fellows to loaf in and hang around.
And so it's there that the loafers go
For friendly chat and a smoke with
Joe.
There's Tubbs, Jim Parks and old
man Moore,
or he's a year old, he's full four
score),
And wise Sam Pike who never was
known
To work very much, not even at home.
So round -Joe's fire with the store
smelling foul,
They praise some things and at others
grOwl,
And tell how this and that should be
done
And how the government ought to be
run.
In the talk one day up spoke Sam Pike,
And says he's aching to go and fight
And brags that in him there "aint no
yellow" - :.
And tries to make out he's sure some
fellow. Et
Gust give me show or just half a
chance.

With a bunch of them Huns. I'd show
lem darn quick -.
How to put up fight that would make
'em feel sick"
When Sam was making this lengthy
spiel
1t made all the rest of the fellows feel
That he was surely the very man
To fight the Huns for his Uncle Sam.
But just at that time there came
through the door ... ,...
Sans wife who came marching right
down through the store.
She wasn't very big, but she gave Sam
a look 'u-
And started to say things not down
in the book.
you march out of here, You big lazy
And cut me some wood, for I'm just
about out.
And can't you do nOthin, you'Old
braggin' bloke,
But just loaf around here and gossip
and smoke?
"You don't make cent, while clean
and scrub.
And break my back over an old wash
tub,
While you loaf round here and don't
do lick,
Now you hike home and hike mighty
quick" 49,.
Sam got right up and made for the
door,
With bis wife close behind. Up
spoke old Moore,

you, by guns.

TRAPS HIS BIGGEST WOLF.

IDA GROVE, Jan. 17-John Siple
caught one of the largest prairie
wolves in a trap OH his farm, north
east of this city Monday. that has ever
been killed in the county. The wolf,
after he had been killed, measured ex-
actly sixty-four inches from the tip
of his tail to the point OF his nose,
and his pelt was one of the finest ever
taken from an animal of that kind. Mr..
Siple mas shot and trapped over fifty
wolves during the past five years, but
this was the best fur hide that he has
taken from wolf. That the animal
was well along in years was evident
from the fact that his teeth and fangs
were worn down to the gums, and his
every appearance was that he was the
king o. his pack, for in several places
the marks OF teeth and claws could
be seen on the hide under the thick
fur
