one which will produce probably both
eggs and meat.

BLACK or bluffs more easily kept uni.

THE GLORIOUS FOURTH,

1t assumed the end of giving ex
preston Of public sentiment with
regards the great questions now
involving the nations of the world
IN such a wastefnl war. Uncle
Sam has declared that Democracy
shall prevail and that autOcracy
and piutOcracy must be rendered
lnnoxious. The sentiments of the
people found expression in the
! flags they unfurled to the breeze
and in the great numbers which
thronged our thoioughfaIes during
the hours of New Iberia's greatest
street parade.
IL New Iberia has unit OF
strength, grace or feminine lowell

march, reinforced by substantial
delegations from our neighboring
towns and from the intervening
country districts. In reviewing The
days events 10 the minds eye 1t IS
no easy matter to suggest an i'm
provement upon the days doings
without a wasteful expenditure of
money-a thing which was studl
ously avoided. 1t was splendid
success and reflects great credit
upon the committee Of arrange
ments and upon those delegated to
carry out their instructions.
The houses along the line Of
march were flutter with the col

desired number of chicks within the
regular Matching period. according to

II is therefore advisable, says Mr..
Prehn. to make up for this shortage
by retaining all profitable hens under
two years old. II is essential to Gull
ont the drones or slackers among the
hens. but hold and care for the Likely
layers. Records show that the plans
for the 1918 Matching season would
use about 10 per cent less eggs Tor
that purpose than in 1917 Added to
this we have the fact that most OF the
commercial hatcheries OF the country
were unable to carry out their plans
through inability to make shipments
because of express congestion. etc. u
Is therefore evident that this years
production will be considerably below
normal; and this in the face OF greater
requirements assures good price Tor
pou,try during the fall and winter
months.
On March Is there was in this coun-
try about 20 per cent less poultry
than at the same time last year. The
Government is urging that every farm
in the country carry as many hens as
can be conveniently handled. so those
farmers who must dispose OF profitable
hens during the coming summer
should sell to other farmers who eau
care for them The only poultry that
n patriotic and thrifty farmer would
sell for market during the next six
months are old ROSTERS, no longer re-

Free Deliveries

GROCERS ACT AT SUGGESTION
OF FOOD ADMINISTRATION
REPRESENTATIVE, WE.

Redwood Falls was visited by v.
B. WYE, representative Of the State
Food Administration last Thursday
afternoon. At a suggestion from
Mr.. wye who deems it a neces-
sary and expedient war mea-
sure, the Redwood Falls grocers de-
cided to discontinue all free deliver
les of good until the expiration of the
war. This ruling also effects the de-
livery of meats as both the local dea-
lers signed the agreement.
Mr.. WYE discovered some slight ir-
regularities in the cases of two of
the local merchants who had miscon-
strued the meaning Of the ruling gov
erning the sugar issued for canning
purposes. In both instances the re-
quest for sugar had been signed by
others than the head of the house
hold this signing being formerly per-
mitted in the case of the everyday ra-
tio.1 of sugar but never for canning
sugar. The Redwood Grocery donated
the sum of fifty dollars to the Red
Cross for its depression of the law
of the food administration and the
grocery department of the H. G.
Schmahl store was closed several
hours Tuesday morning for similar ir-
regularities. All merchants have sig
nified their intention of adhering
strictly to the closing hours and to
otherwise work in harmony with the
wishes of the administration.

Alvin Nell oaly son of Marshal
Aug. Nell Of Morgan, had a ve~y
painful experience by coming in con-
tact with live electric wire. He
was burned to the bone on the palm
of his right hand, besides suffering a
severe shock. The accident occurred
Monday afternoon in the yard of the
Nell home, which is situated near the
substation. The branches of the trees
had rubbed all the insulation from
this particular wire, which was Of
110 voltage and left the wire expos
ed. Alvin ignorant Of this, was play
ing the tree and playfully stood up
and grasped the live wire. His little
playmates soon realized the predica-
ment the lad was in and help was
summoned from citizens, who were
conveyed to the scene. of the acci-
dent. DR.. Calile reached the boy
and shook him so as to free him
from his perlious position, he was
caught in a blanket held by friends
under the tree. Perhaps all that saw
ed the boys life was the fact that
he was wearing tennis shoes with
rubber soles else the electric current
would have proved fatal. He was
taken to the doctors office where
the burns, which are very deep and
painful, were Morgan Cor

Send More Books

The Redwood Falls Public Library
has received today request fl m the
American Library Associations Head
quarters in Washington for more
books from this community for the
men overseas.
The appeal from Washington states
that new novels and good Western
stories, whether old or new, are most
needed. Books by Zane Grey, Rex
Beach, Jack London, Ralph Connor,
Owen Wister, and O. Henry are very
popular. The Public Library announ-
ces that it will receive and forward
all suitable that are turned in. It
urges the friends of the soldiers anu
the sailors, many of whom have al
ready responded most generously, TO
give more books.
The communication received by the
Library from the Washington head
quarters states that over 100000
books have been sent overseas. The
supply is nearly exhausted, and sew
eral hundred thousand more will be
needed soon by the six dispatch Off
ces which are now shipping books to
France. The books are packed at
these dispatch offices in strong cas-
es, so built that they serve as book
case.
They must go on decks Of the trans
ports, in cargo vessels and in naval
vessels. Those that go on the decks
of the transports are open so that the
men may have reading matter for
use during the voyage. All these
books are gathered together again,
however, replaced in cases, and de-
livered to the proper officials in
France.
In France, the books are distrsbut-
ed by an experienced Librarian, re-
presenting the American Librarian
Association Most of them go to Y.
M. C. A. Red Cross, and Salvation
Army huts, hospitals, and canteens.
Others go directly to chaplins and
officers.

Indians Give Help

dollars as the result of the activity
and patriotism of the young girls at

Though giving entertainments, So
cials etc. Rev. and Mrs. st. Clair
visited Redwood Falls last week bring
ing this amount with them. This is
entirely the work of the younger wo-
men who have also assisted in the
work of sewing and knitting which
the older women at the Agency have
done very actively for the past sew
eral months. Considering that the
girls are few in number and have
many other things to fill up their
time, it is quite remarkable that they
are able to donate so large an am
cunt. The gift certainly speaks well
for the patriotism of the residents
of the Agency.
