Thursday, Feb. 18th, every music
lover of Cambridge and nelghbor1ns
communities is most cordially invited
to attend the formal opening of our
Edison department when we will
introduce to Cambridge the latest
great invention from the Laborator-
les of Thomas A. Edison.
Gives All That Artists Can Give
Suppose a troupe of great perform
ers-stars of the Metropolitan Opera,
great vocal and instrumental sOlOlsts,
leading bands and orchestras, head
liners in vaudeville, offered to come
to your home and perform for you
any time, as frequently and as long
as YOU wished. Of course, such an
experience is beyond possibility. But
the New Edison gives all that the
living artists can give excepting only
their physical presence. When you
close your eyes they seem to stand
before you in the flesh. You actually
feel their personalitythough you can
not see them.

The New Edison is not talking
machine 1t is the only instrument
ever invented that re-creates the
human voice and the music of human
played instruments. By ''re-creates"
we mean that there is not a shadow
of difference between the renditions
of the living artist and the New
Edison's Recreation of them. If
there be any doubt in your mind on
this point, permit us to dispel it by
informing you that thirty Edison ar
fists (great singers and instrum ent-
alists) have submitted the New
Edison to the conclusive test of a
side by side comparison.

moskowrz REmopELs STORE.

l.. Moskovitz has remodeled his
store which presents a very neat
and up to date appearance. This
store is to be run as a women's
store exclusively. A balcony has
been added at the rear of the
room where the cashier will be
located, also the milliner. The
rear third of the store has been
fitted up with carpets and rugs
for the display of the cloaks and
suits while shelving has been ad-
ded at the front and complete
line OF ladies and children's shoes
will he carried. Mems lines have
been almost entirely eliminated
from the stock, only a few items
being carried. If the women ap-
preciate store for women only,
these lines will be done away with
and women's goods exclusively
will be- carried. Mr.. Moskovitz has
had this idea in mind for a long
time but has just now been able
to carry it out. He promises the
women of this county one of the
finest stores to be found any
where and by your patronage he
can tell whether you appreciate
his efforts or not.

about 6,O0O,00O members before
the Christmas drive started, con-
sequently the increase in that
week was 17.5OO,OOO. The Central
Division, Illinois, Michigan, Wis
|consin, Iowa and Ncbraska-lead
the other divisions in the United
States i'm the number of new

a PROCLAMATION

sp NV buys vi IOMu.
The commonwealth of Iowa is
confronted With labor problem
OF no small proportions. More
than 10000 men who one year
ago were engaged i'm productive
enterprises are now part of the
military establishment.
notwithstanding this decrease
in our labor supply we must make
every effort to increase our food
production and sustain our allies
who are heroically holding our
common enemy at hay while our
army is being trained.
There is one source of help to
which we instinctivcly turn in the
crisis. Iowa has more than one
hundred thousand boys between
the ages of sixteen and twenty i'm
elusive, who are eligible for mem
bership in the United States Boys
Working Reserve which is being
organized on a nationwide basis
TO help solve The labor problem.
These hoys are brave, eager, and
patriotic, but too young for mill
tary service. They will gladly en-
list IN the cause of agriculture.
and render no less loyal service
than their brothers i'm the army.
Because of the existing labor
shortage. and tho pressing need
OF food, and by virtue of author
ltN vested in mo as Governor of
The State of Iowa, do hereby set
apart and proclaim the week of
February 25th to March 2nd as
State Enrolment Week of the
United States Boys Working Re-
serve.
During this period | urge all OF
the boys over sixteen and under
draft age to present themselves
before their local school superin-
tendenls for enrolment i'm the
Iowa Division of The Boys Work
ing Reserve. trust no parents
will hesitate to encourage their
sons to join The Reserve. Ut is not
a military organization, those
who join merely volunteer for ur-
gent patriotic work which will de-
velop them physically and men
aally, pay them wages and for
which, if the requirements of the
Reserve are fulfilled, the United
States Department of Labor will
award a bronze badge of honor.
(SEAL)
In testimony whereof, l have
htreunto set my hand and caused
TO be affixed the Great Seal of
the State, at DesMoines, this
eighteenth day of February, 1918.

FOOD LECTURES SATURDAY

AAS loou ICCGuIcS dJ CNc uillef-
ent places were we'll attended,
and the speakers held their audi
ence's close attention through
out the session. AT the Palm
theatre the meeting was opened
by singing America by the chorus
under the direction of Mrs. G. S.
Green and the audience, after
which Attorney j. S. Dewell intro
duced Mr.. Mitchell, who gave a
wonderful talk on his trip to and
from France; how they were con-
voyed by war ships and his exper-
ience in the trenches.
He also spoke on the conserva-
ton OF wheat, sugar, fats, and all
the things our boys needed.
In speaking of saving fats he
said if each family would take a
pound of butter and cut it into
sixteen pieces and each piece into
three parts and-each family save
one part each year throughout
the whole United States, it would
give the boys 375,OOO tons of fat,
and these are the most important
articles of food, the allies must
have in order to hold out, and
without them it will be a hard
fight and might end in failure.
Mr.. Mitchell said at one time
during his stay in France, Perish
ing was down to five days rations
for his army and 80 days was
supposed to be the lowest num-
ber of days.
The French people are very
good to the boys from the Uni
ted States. They willingly give up
their own rations and go with
out sugar, wheat and fats.
1t used to be in 1910 when an
American went into French cafe
for a meal they would get the very
cheapest of food and were charg-
ed an exhorbitant price but now
an American gets the best of ev-
erything at reasonable rates. 1t is
also said that if the Americans
would tell. the allies they could
harness the sun and whip the
Kaiser they would believe it; they
have so much confidence in the
U. S. A.
The French families cover
there are not living together. All
of the old men, women and chill
dren, look after themselves and
are mostly at work in fields, fac
tories and munition plants. Moth
ing goeslto waste. All the young
and capable men are at the front
doing their bit. There is an agri-
cultural school in France for the
girls where they are taught farm
ing until they graduate and then
they enlist and are sent out to the
field to work.
Mr.. Mitchell told of some live
ly experiences during his visit in
Paris and London when these two
cities were raided.
One place back of a house near
where he was stopping a baby
bomb was dropped that tore
tWenty-seven feet into, the
ground.
When he went over to the
trenches and to visit the armies
each commissioner was assigned
to a different division. He was
sent to the Rainbow. On one occa-
sion when the boys had a day off
TO go sight seeing, $50 of the lads
shouldered their guns and started
Off for rifle practise. Pershing
says when anyone tells that our
boys are picking up the French
ideas of carousing, etc, they lie,
as the morality of the American
soldier is above censure. The
talks by the other commissioners
was similar to Mr.. Mitchell's and
all were equally appreciated. If
we had had space we would liked
TO have given each speech in full.

FEDERAL AGENTS
JAIL OMAHA BOYS


Roy ,Goburn and Frank Luce,
lss TWO young men from Omaha, are
IN the county Jail at Council
= Bluffs, charged will, impersonat-
ing federal revenue Officers. The
{ boys were brought from Logan.
& yesterday. by United States Dep
uty Marshal Floyd Hendricks, and
Will be given hearing this morn
{ ing before United States Commits
Z sioner Organ.
The young men appear to have
been indiscrete, rather than will
1ully wrong. They were agents for
4 q Chicago concern selling a book
4 comprising income tax instruc-
ton and blanks for listing stocks
OF goods for income tax purposes.
The high price of SIS was obtain
ed Tor the flimsy little booklets
by the boys representing them
selves as federal revenue agents
and declaring that the govern
ment required all business men
subject to income tax to use the
[. books.
Boys Make Statement
1 After their arrest the boys
made a frank statement showing
that they had been drilled by the
chicago concern, and had been
told that the statements they
We're expected to make approach
ed very closely to fraud, and that
they had been warned not to rep
/ resent themselves as revenue ag-
ents or as having any connection
With the government department.
they were also cautioned to saw
That while the government did not
require the purchase of the book
lets, they would be very valuable
as a matter of convenience TO the
purchaser.
Th0 arrest followed when it
is alleged they solicited Greek
merchants so broadly at Logan,
That the Greeks We're anxious to
pay income tax TO them. The
boys declined TO receive the
money, and inquiries were made
concerning them and the books
they were selling. Their arrest
was promptly ordered.
Iowa will need TO seed 100000
acres OF spring. wheat to produce
a normal crop this year. Five to
~ acres on every farm is the slo-
gan. This wheat is needed if we
are to feel our allies and our SOL
dlers in the field.
OF the 200, 900 acres of winter
wheat in Iowa last fall only half
was. reported i'm a normal condi-
ton. This is due largely to wea-
ther conditions. This shortage
can only be met by spring wheat
seeking. Last year was an unusu-
al year Tor spring wheat, and the
yield should not he expected cv-
cry year. The Government does
not ask large acreage on a few
farms, but a small acreage on ev-
cry farm. Five TO ten acres on ey-
cry farm will meet this. request.
Ihen we can all help. From the
yielding qualities on wear aver
ages we would not recommend
large acrcages per farm. However
IL may be of interest TO know that
Harrison County ranks as one of
the best spring wheat sections in
Iowa. State reports give an acre
age of from 10000 to $4,000 ac-
res.
County Agent Hammans was
Bcalled to Amcs the past week TO
ATTEND the Federal State meeting
OF County Agents. He reported
Ithls 40 he a very profitable meet
ing. The Government message TO
the people is one of praise for
last years production and a call
for greater efforts and more food
