The parade was headed by a drum
corps in charge of Wesley Schaub.
Following came all the grades, each
headed by its teacher The pupils car
ried interesting baraers and signs,
with a number Of floats, which created
much merriment One float showed
the kaiser captive of the Boy Scouts.
a number of the grades also wore
paper helmets and most of the children
likewise carried flags. The parade was
most imposing and was certainly a fine

TO Have Sorghum Mill.

harrisburg Leader: harrisburg is
to have a sorghum mill this year
and it is up to the farmers to plant
sorghum.
VIM. Wood and T. D. Teter have
contracted for mill which they will
install here in time to handle this
seasons crop. Owing to the fact
that good seed corn is scarce and
also that the food administrators are
urging an increase in sorghum pro-
duction to relieve tho sugar short
age, it will be wise and patriotic
move for our farmers to devote a
portion of their land to this crop.
Sorghum requires practically the
same season, soil and cultivation as
corn and there is no reason why it
should not prove equally profitable in
this section. Put in a crop SO we can
have the good molasses on our pan
cakes next winter.

OF Jewell at recent meeting ar
ranged a contract with Contractor
J. a. Dunkel, of Webster City, for the
grading of the street east from
Iverson garage hill to the new bridge
that will be constructed this spring

the contract with the county for the

that job he will have considerable
eXcavating to do. The council has
contracted with Mr.. Dunkel to use
the dirt secured from the bridge ex-
cavation and also the dirt from the
ditch that is now piled in the road
for grading the road up to" the
bridge west to the hill. The price
paid Mr.. Dunkel for this work will
be % cents per cubic yard for the
dirt from the bridge excavation and
40 cents a yard for the dirt from the

to start building the bridge at once
and Will do the work on the road
at the same time, and if weather con-
ditions are favorable he expects to
have both the bridge and road grad
ing completed by July LIST.

to his brother here he tells that

the Germans. But for this furlough

Burn German Books.

Stratford Courier: Wednesday
night Of last week a number of the
high school students met at the
school house grounds and burned -
q number Of the first German Ian
guage books Of the school. The
books had been carefully hidden bu
the students learned where they
were and soon made short work of
them.
On the following morning during
the regular semester tests number
Of the students of German, When
called upon to take the usual semes-
ter tests refused to take them, bas-
ing their refusal on the fact that the
state board of education had ruled
that it was not necessary to take
these tests in order to pass. When
it was insisted that they must take
them they left the building. As
soon as the matter was reported to
the board, President DR.. NJ A. Beach
called meeting OF the school board
and a resolution was unanimously
adopted by the board throwing the
German language entirely out of the
local schools. A copy of the resolu-
ton was then despatched to the
school house to be read to the stud
ents. The resolution was adopted in
accord with the resolutions of the
state board of education and the fac
ulties of the three state schools.
Tuesday night the high school stud
ents got together and burned in a
jOllineation bonfire the balance of the
German language books, the German
dictionary, and in fact every book,
paper. or note book which treated of
the German lang 4age in any shape or
form. The students had gathered the
books together and hid them few
days previous to the confiscation but
someone had discovered their hiding
place and it was some little time be-
fore they recovered them. But when
they did find them the fire burned all
the brighter and their glee was at the
highest eb5 The high school stud |
ents are nothing if not patriotic.

charcoal may also be added. Use a
ismall quantity of the masi mixture
and add one third as much hard boiled
or raw egg, including the shell, which
has been chopped very fine, and q
small amount Of chopped green feed.
Moisten this with sour or butter milk
and feed in crumbly state five times
a day. 4 small amount OF grain and
fire grit should be placed in the litter
t"o or three times a day. After TIE
third week similar mash may be fed
dry III hoppers, using ground oats in
stead of oat meal. The number Of
mash feeds may be reduced to three
per day. Feed the. grain mixture in
larger quantities.
After the fifth week, if the chicks
have grown normally, use three parts
cracked corn, two parts heavy oats,
two part kaffir corn for scratch feed,
fed in litter if chicks are confined
For a dry mash use three parts corn
meal, three parts ground oats, three
parts shorts and fifteen per cent high
grade tankage. They should be given
a coarser grade Of grit and plenty of
green food, such as lettuce and sprout-
ed oats, and all the sour milk, butter
milk and water they want to drink.
If moist mashes are not allowed to
remain after the chicks have temper
arily satisfied their hunger and they
are fed as prescribed, there will be
very little danger Of developing diar-
rhea and a large per cent Of chicks
should be raised to maturity.
The coops and appliances should be
disinfected occasionally and The chicks
kept free from lice and mites

THE RAERERRY.

The government has put the ban
upon the barberry and it is being des-
troyed III some sections of the coun-
try. Burberry bushes have been found
guilty of harboring black rust that is
SO destructive to wheat, oats, rye anu
barley. There are a number of bar
berry hedges in Webster City, it is
claimed. II it is true that they are
menace to agriculture they ought 20
be destroyed, no matter who protests
The secretary OF agriculture, and he
ought TO know his ground, urges all
persons having these ornamental
shrubs on their premises to destroy
them at once. In North Dakota and
Minnesota they are being destroyed By
state authority as grave menace to
the wheat crop. Iowa has undertaken
Inc same crusade.
The rust starts in the spring in the
form OF the familiar yellow spots on
The barberTy leaves. The spore soon
are spread over many miles Of terri
