this purpose in view. is preparing for
the hardships of war.
Although born in Germany, Wm.
Buettner, the father, came to the Unit

he owes allegiance to his adopted
country. In fact, he says he remem-

IS American born and stands for all
the high ideals of Americanism. He
believes in democracy and will fight

Mr.. Buettner will go to Omaha to-

This, even if the league did not tend
to socialism and disloyalty-would
be enough to discredit it in Iowa,
where the farmers and the people of
the towns are. cooperating in a
spirit of community loyalty and pro-
gress and mutual understanding.
The urban resident does not dis
courage the organization of proper
associations of farmers. The Iowa
farmers are organized better today
than are those of almost any other
state. They have the Iowa Draft
Horse Breeders association, the as
sociation of dairy cattle breeders, the
Corn and Small Grain Growers as
sociation, the, Corn Belt Meat Pro-
ducers' association, the Farmers
Grange and numerous other organiza-
tions, beside. scores Of county farm
bureaus. The Iowa farmer, whose
investments are greater, than those
of any other class of business in the
state, is business man.

Harrisburg Consolidated School Dis.
trict Petitions Board There to
Issue Bonds for Fine New
School Addition.
NEW BUILDING TO BE MODERN.
Add Five School Rooms, Gymnasium,
Auditorium to Make u Modern
School.

Petitions are being circulated in
| the consolidated school district OF
Blairsburg, asking the directors OF
that district to call an election to
vote on the question of issuing $685.
900 bonds for the erection of fine
modern addition to their present
excellent school building. The pc
tition is being unanimously signed
and the indications are that there
will be little, if any, opposition to
the movement
r The Blairsburg consolidated school
district is one of the most progress
sive school districts in Hamilton
county. The district already has
one of the best equipped school
buildings in the county, but the
schools are somewhat crowded and
the people of the district, with a
laudable ambition to maintain their
reputation as having one of the most
modern school plants in the state Of
Iowa in district of their size. are
planning to vote more bonds for the
erection of modern and up-to-date
addition.
The addition is to be brick and will
contain five rooms, including fine
large high school room. In addition
to these five rooms, there will also
be large gymnasium, well equipped,
and big auditorium with stage,
where various school meetings and
gatherings of public nature can be
held. Plans and specifications for
the new addition have already been
made
Blairsburg people are unusually
proud of their schools. They have
a good sized consolidated district and
they are unwilling to be satisfied
with anything less than the very
best in modern school facilities. Their
present building cost them $4,000
some years ago and with $4,000 ad-
dition, the school plant in that pro-
gressive community will be as mod
ern as any in this immediate section
of Iowa.

in contributions, Y. M. c. A. work,

school summed up at least two thous-
and dollars, given to their country
from their own earnings. He further
gave beautiful picture Of the trials
that beset the great man, in whose
honor we were celebrating February

Washington's second inaugural ad-

to fit even the present time.

The neat sum of SAL was netted for
the Red Cross, by charging ten cents
admission. The high school has al
ways been glad to give these enter
tainments free, heretofore-believ-
ing that the public deserves this cour-
tesy at the hands of the schools.
This time, however, it was considered
fitting that slight charge be made
in order to help 50 worthy an enter
prise. Tho youngsters themselves
cheerfully contributed their dimes,
and were happy over the results.
Anyone who didn't get a dimes worth

Grocers of the nation have accepted
enthusiastically the $3.50 basis for the
purchase of wheat -four and are doing
their utmost to explain the new regu-
lation TO the housewife. This ruling by
the o. s. Food Administration requires
each purchaser of wheat -four to buy
one pound of cereal substitute, one
kind or assorted, for every pound of
wheat -four. 1t was necessary TO re-
strict the use of wheat -four In order
that the allies and our fighting forces
abroad might be assured OF an ade-
Quate supply Of wheat to meet their
vital needs. This supply must come
from our savings because we have al
ready sent our normal surplus.
Wheat saving pledge cards were for
warded by the Food Administration to
all retail food merchants, and these
