Howard County ''Over the Top"

Chas. McNider, sales director for
Iowa, makes the statement that Iowa
is the first state in the nation to excel
its quota of Liberty Loan subscriptions,
and that every one of its ninety-nine
Counties have exceeded their quota.
In Howard County, the total amount
of subscriptions is far in excess of its
quota, and still growing. Although the
bulk of the amount was subscribed
between the 9Th and 18th, few who
did not receive their property state
ment cards are still to be heard from,
and few-very few-slackers must be
rounded up.
The committee is giving out no defin-
ite figures but we understand that the
total for the County is $3.50, 900 which
will meet our quota and make up the
County's deficit on the two previous
loans, which is as it should be.

them may be counted 80 that smaller
proportion of substitutes may be bought
with these flours than with wheat flour.
This is the $3.50 rule. .--..
Wheat flour substitutes are hominy,
corn grits, cornmeals, corn flour, edi-
BILE corn starch, barley flour, rolled
oats, oatmeal, rice, rice flour. buck
wheat flour, potato flour, sweet potato
flour, foya bean flour and feterita flour
and meals. t.
Householders in towns and cities may
not buy more than ! Of barrel Of
flour 1T any one time. Householders in
the country may not buy more than /
barrel of flour at any one time. In no
event shall any purchaser have mere
than 80 days supply ON hand.
The prices on flour Substitutes are
much higher than they should be, and
action should be taken to control these
prices, as we'll as the price on wheat,
q we are compelled to buy them.

The Liberty Loan Committee

have much satisfaction in finding
that the very great part Of our people
have so willingly and freely responded
to the call Of their country for SUBJ
scriptions to the Third Liberty Loan,
in may cases subscribing for more than
their allotted share, and in some cases
even doubling that amount. The COM
mittee wish to say to those few who
failed to receive their property state
ment card, or who for any other rea-
son have not made response, that if
they will now report themselves, it will
save the committee some labor, and the
necessity of sending out special sum-
mons for appearance.

CRESCO HOWARD COUNTY, IOWA, FRIDAY APRIL 49, 1918
Denoeratic Candidate for Copsredk

Denocratic Candidate for consre1k
Nearly 200 democrats from all over
the 4th Congressional District met at
New Hampton last Friday to select :
candidate for congress in the district to
oppose. in oil probability, the present
incumbent G. N. Haugen, who will
doubtless defeat in the primaries his
two opponents Enger and Shaffer.
The gathering was much in the ma
ture Of patriotic meeting, speakers
from every county in the district par
ticipating. One Of the gems Of the oc-
casion was short address defining
patriotism and loyalty delivered BY
Mr.. Finch Of Northwood, the home Of
Congressman. Haugen. Mr.. Finch de-
.clared that Hsugen did not measurs up
to the high standard demanded these
days to constitute man patriotic and
loyal.
A committee of one representative
from each county met and after delib;
Grating over . large field of worthy
men who were willing to make the race
in an effort to test the loyalty Of the
voters Of the district, selected Joseph
c. Campbell; the leading attorney Of
Charles City, a man with the personal
ity, the ability and the patriotic loyalty
necessary for q representative from
this district at this time.
Before the conference finally
adjourned. the matter Of drafting candi-
dates for Senatorial vacancies was
taken up by the Counties comprising
them. The Howard Winneshiek dis.
trict was especially fortunate in pre-
vsiling upon MIR. G. A. Meyer, of Cal
mar, who consented to make the race.

He expressed reluctance in opposing
certain candidates on the Republican
ticket whom he thought were qualified
and willing to represent the district as
it should be represented, but as the out
come of the Republican primaries can
not now be ascertained, he will make
the campaign. r.
Since politics enter into state matters
in very small way nowadays, Mr..
Meyers ability and experience will be
giving the district very acceptable
should he be elected.

Red Cross Notes.

There will be no more surgical Dress
ings evening classes this month, and
possibly all work in this department
may be suspended when we have filled
our April quota and until we receive
our allotment for May.
Two money donations which were de-
posted in the bank last month were
not included IN our published list for
the reason as stated that the list con-
sisted Of moneys handed to the secre-
tsry or left at the desk in the work
room. These two items, however, be-
long with this list. They are, $3.50 by
St. Joseph's school and $4l.s6 by St.
Joseph's church.
There is plenty of sweater yarn on
hand and we learn that We are soon to
receive a quota of sweaters, so it is
suggested that everybody call for the
yarn and get started.

Feed Regulations for Hosseboldess
Briefly Stated.

All householders who can entirely
eliminate the use Of wheat until the
next harvest, about Sept. lst, should
do 20.
Householders who are obliged to use
wheat should not use more than total
Of Il pounds Of wheat flour or prepared
wheat, in any form, per person per
week, including the wheat flour in Vic
tory Bread. and including the wheat
flour. or prepared wheat in crackers,
pastry. macsroni, breakfast and other
foods. .,-- ..
In estimating hour consumption
every Il pounds of Victory Bread,
which il bread manufactured by bakers
under the regulations Of the United
States Food Administration, may be
considered equal to1 pound of wheat
flour. ~ %
This rationing requires . more re-
stricted use Of wheat than that asked
for BY the observance of wheatless
days and meals. which are no longer
obligatory, but in practice it will be
found that IN even wider and more
strict observance of wheatless days and
meals will aid greatly in limiting the
household consumption of wheat flour
and other prepared wheat to II pounds
per person per week.
Meat of any kind may be eaten on
any day in moderation until May 1st.
In buying wheat flour an equal
weight of other cereals as substitutes
for wheat flour must be bought pound
for pound. In buying graham, whole
wheat or mixed flours the substitutes in

NEGROES DIVORCED.

In looking over the records of the
recent session of circuit court we OBJ
served the granting of a divorce to
Jason Taylor from Effie Nall Taylor.
The couple were married in Hayti in
1905 and separated in 1913, and have
lived continuously apart since. They
had one child, boy nine years old.
who has lived with his mother since
the separation, but was given into the
care of the father by decree of di-
vorce. Unlike most folks sueing for
divorce, Taylor alleged on act OF in
constancy, no cruel and inhuman
treatment no incompatible temper or
fixed and settle aversion. He simp-
" charged his wife with having de-
serted him. The evidence submitted
went to show that during the five
years of their married life Taylor had
been industrious. and had provided
for the welfare of his wife and child.
some of the witnesses testified she
did not have to work out for the
white people as many of the cOlored
women do.
We know little of the cause for
which the woman deserted her hus-
band and care little in this individual
case. But a break in the most vital
attempt at human happiness, whether
in the white or cOlored family, is to
us the most solemn and appalling
tragedy that afflicts the human race.
We assume the color of the skin does
not callous the heart, and the negro,
a victim to marital infelicity Sepa-
ration and divorce are traceable to
the mismating of characters, and
should be a lasting lesson to the
young people about to enter upon
the marriage state. We have no
sympathy with the advocates of soul
mating-though such tragedies, like
the hurricane, the earthquake and
the revolution, must sometimes break
their way through the crust of So
ciety-but it is true that certain
characters are more nearly adjustable
to each other than others, and mar
riage should not be entered upon
until some years of adjustment have
gone on through series of court
ships. Mismating of temperaments
are much more common than appear
on the service. Divorces are only
the upheavals where conditions be-
come unbearable. But sermons are
of little moment. The world will go
on in the time-wOrn way. and the
storm, the earthquake, the revolu-
tion and divorces will still mark the
way.

RIG MERCHANT MARINE.
business Men For Carrying Com
mcrce To All Lands.

Atlantic City, N. j., Dec. Sit was
apparent from the action taken to-
day by groups representing hundreds
of Industries and branches of business
that strong appeals will be made to
the Government to loosen the hold It
took on business during the war
emergency, and resolutions in support
of such measures will be presented at
tomorrow session of the Recon
struction Congress being held under
the initiative of the Chamber of Com
mcrce of the United States.
Scores of resolutions, adopted at
ten major groups. were referred to
the Clearance Committee of the Con-
gress. which will report tomorrow.
There seemed to be almost uni
versal demand for a greater mer-
chant marine to carry the awakened
commerce of the country to all lands.
Many groups passed resolutions for
less control of business and removal
of restrictions and regulations gov
erning production and distribution.
In connection with this there was
much. sentiment for business retain
ing. through voluntary rather than
forced action. some of the regulations
enforced by the government regard
ng wastage in production. Here and
there in the group meetings it was
pointed out that Government super
vision over production had shown the
needless waste, and that while Fed
eral control is not desired there
might be some means devised by
which the government might aid in
the conservation of raw and other
materials.
On the other hand it was also
pointed out that business and indus
try can take care of this phase OF
production through the lessons learn
ed during the war.

INFLUENZA HAS
GONE FOR GOOD
Surgeon General Blue Says
Return of Epidemic
Not Probable.
Huntsville Heraldl

Washington, Dec. In view of
serious occurrences of influenza cpl
denies in many parts of the country
Surgeon General Rupert Blue. Of the
United States Public Health Service,
has issued through the Washington
bureau of the Newspaper Enterprise
Association, this reinsurance:
"The country need not fear that
the influenza epidemic will return. 1t
has come and gone for good
Sporadic Outbreaks Expected.
DIR. Blue explained that sporadic
outbreaks of the disease may be ex-
pected in various parts of the coun-
try, as in all epidemics, and added
that, like the poor, we have influenza
always with u.s."
DIR. Blue doesn't believe there will
be, this winter, another such general
visitation as that which has exacted a
toll of $4,000 civilian and 10000
soldier and sailor lives in this coun-
try.
Influenza cases are still reported
from coast to coast.
Some alarmists try to trace a like
ness to the pneumonia epidemic which
swept China a quarter of a century
ago, and the cases of "black pneu-
monia" which appeared in Tonopah
and Goldfeld, New, fifteen or twenty
years ago.
Epidemic's Causes.
Causes of the great epidemic are
obscure. BY some, it has been attrib-
uted to war diet. by others to war
time overcrowding i ncamps, ETC.;
others ascribe it to climatic condi-
tions.
With no agreement as to causes, no
specific preventive has yet been au-
thoritatively announced.
"There are little pockets in various
places which the epidemic might have
skipped" DR.. Blue said, " and in
these a recurrence of the disease on
a small scale may be expected.
THE coming of the cold and in
clement weather, bringing colds and
bronchitis in its wake, will also cause
the distase to reappear in some
places. But it will not recur in its
virulent form for some years, per-
haps. because it has practically ex-
exhausted the number of its potential
victims
