CHRISTMAS GIVING,

There used to be good many peo-
pie who feel 1t necessary at Christmas
time to remember anywhere from so
to 100 of their friends, sometimes more
than that. Many Of these souvenirs
of course were trifles that cost littleJ
Still the whole program was very ex-
cessive and such persons came
through to Christmas thoroughly tired
out.
The amount of useless truck that
used to be distributed at Christmas
was incalculable. But the people who
made these gifts did it out of kindness
Of heart. For the past year they have
been too busy caring for real needs to
spend time on fOllies.
ssj Let us hope that as result the
Christmas gift custom will be perma-
nently changed. Let us take the mon
ey formerly spent on frivoities for
friends and give it in ,substantials to
the poor. Let the children have use
full tools and instructive games and
Of outdoor sport, rather
than mechanical toys that break down
in 4 week. 4 Str,

With rehabilitation of it's s. A. T.

time to students returning from the
army and navy, and is arranging a
summer session that will permit stu

Former students, who have been in

ouTRAeER is PARDoNED.

IDA GROVE, Dec. 11-Public senti-
ment in Ida Grove is aroused over the
pardoning by Gov. w. L. Harding Of
Ernest Rathburn, who was convicted
here of rape and sentenced to the state
penitentiary for life a year ago. A
copy of the governors pardon was
received today at the county court
house. It was issued November 18th.
Rathburn and Ray O'Meara, anoth-
er Ida Grove boy, enticed two girls
into an automobile and drove with
them several miles into the country,
where the crime was committed.
Rathburn was tried q year ago and
sentenced to life. O'Meara was tried
a short time ago and convicted. He
also received q life sentence. Rath.
burn WAS brought back and used by
the state as q witness against O'Meara
1t is considered probable by. the peo
pie OF Ida Grove that Rathburri's par.
don was granted in return for his tes:
timony against O'Meara.
Both cases were tried by Assistant
Attorney General Kindig.

.HoNoRs FOR CRAWFORD
Charles Powell Awarded Champion.
ship Honors in Baby Beef Contest
l1a by Iowa Beef Producers

To Charles Powell, of Denison, has
been awarded championship honors
for Crawford county in the 1918 Iowa
baby beef contest conducted by the
Iowa Beef Producers association in
cooperation with the agricultural ex-
tension department of Iowa State col
lege and the Crawford county farm
bureau.
To win the championship, young
Powell fed his pure bred Angus calf
for period Of 293 days. The animal
weighed 420 pounds at the beginning
and 1905 pounds at the end; having
made a total gain OF 5S5 pounds and
daily average gain of 1.99 pounds.
One requirement in the contest was
that each contestant write a story and
send it to the state club leader at
Ames, telling just how the calf was
fed and handled. Extracts from the
story written by young Powell are as
follows:
This bov states that he started out
feeding the calf oats so as to give
him a chance to get his growth. Dur
ing the first part of the contest he let
the calf run. with the COW, but found
that this made very expensive gain.
He then gradually increased the ra,
tions of corn, oilmeal and hay until
the calf was completely satisfied.

We Would Rather
Be Americans

How would you like to be wheat
farmer in Australia or a corn grow
er in Argentine? The Food Admin
istration reports that nearly 800 mill
lion bushels of wheat is stored in
Australia. There are no ships to
move it and therefore no market for
it. The government has guaranteed
price of SO cents per bushel for it,
and the commonwealth has added II
cents, making a total of 95 cents to
the producer. In Argentine there is
no market for corn, and many farm
ers are disposing of it for fuel at
40 cents per bushel. At that, how
ever, it would be better to be far
mer in Argentine or Australia, than
to be one in Russia, where the Ger
mans would take your wheat and
not even say thank you.
No, thanks; we are glad TO be
Americans, and we are not going to
get over being glad, either.

GERMANS DEPRESSED
BY EVENTS IN RUSSIA
Newspapers Say With Envoy's Flight
Failure of Germany's Policy is
Complete.

The Hague, Aug. 1.-THE reno
val of the German Embassy from
Moscow has caused a decidedly pess1
mistic tendency in the German press.
Now it appears that things have be-
come so acute in Moscow that mem-
bers of the German Embassy no lon
| ger are able to leave their hotel with
out endangering their lives. The new
station at Pskov, says the Lokai An
zeiger, is only intended to be a sort
! of observation post, and how long 1t
will remain there will depend on
/ the events in Russia and the discus
sions at Headquarters.
/ Theodor Wolff, in the Tageblatt,
warns against blind optimism, and
points out that the power of the
! Czechoslovaks was underestimated.
He declares that things can no Ion
| ger be painted rose-colored, espec1-
ally since the events on the west
| front; that even those parties who
welcomed war with America consid-
er the time has come when the Ger
man people should demand an expla-
nation. These people, Wolff says,
underestimated Americas strength,
! and now in order to absolve them
! selves from responsibility try to
prove that America would have de-
clared war in any event.
The Nossischa Zeitung declares
| that the removal Of the Embassy
means the complete failure of Ger
many's policy in Russia, but that
Germany can still have Russia as a
friend if she adopts another and de-
cisive policy.
The League of Nations and The
! Eastern Policy is the title OF an
article by Redlich in the Vossische
Zeitung, saying: We do not be-
lieve that the Social Revolutionaries
rule in Moscow, but there appears to
have been no one willing to protect
the Embassy, and thus the rights of
the Brest-Litovsk Treaty. The re-
