OUR SECOND LINE OF DEFENSE
!. 40 Women Of County in "Second
re Of Defense" Efficiency in
|o This Line Necessary.

- This Line Necessary.
r.. g., re 2,4O0 women in Della
wa who have enlisted il
the Vz. States Food Admins
tration are enlisting every
day. 4.
The government, realizing that ef-
ficient home management is vital tc
victory, this branch of the service
has made an appropriation for the
Extension Work of the Bureau OF
Agriculture for this purpose.
Owing to the fact that Delaware
county has organized for county
agent, the women of the county
may avail themselves of their share
of this appropriation if they so de-
sire. This money is to be used for
the salary and expenses of Home
Demonstration Agent. Unless the
the money set apart for this purpose
in Iowa is used it will be turned over
to some other state where the value of
the plan has been tested, and proved
so helpful and popular that they are
clamoring for more demonstrators.
Many thousands of dollars worth of
food has been stored for this winters
use under the direction of our agri-
cultural college, through the canning
clubs. AS the canning of fruits and
vegetables is only one of the branches
of the home demonstration work no
doubt the women of Delaware county
will be glad to avail themselves of the
opportunity now being offered by the
Iowa Agricultural college.
Membership Fee Bargain.
The county asking for it's appropria-
tion is asked to show it's good faith
by providing minimum membership
Of $500 in membership fees. When we
stop to think that the fee for a ten
days short course in home economics
has usually been from 50 to SO, the
fee of 81 membership for one year
looks like real bargain, and no doubt
the good people Of Delaware county
will be glad to avail themselves Of it.
Miss Mabel Bentley, of the Extension
Department at Ames, came during the
past week to assist in perfecting the
working plans of the organization,
but owing to the inclement weather
and the unusually bad condition OF
the roads, it was impossible for her
to carry out her plans for the differ
ent communities Of the county. Della
ware County Canning Club has taken
up the matter until the membership is
assured, when the department will
send someone from Ames to assist the
members in forming their own organi-
cation.
All wishing to join and those anx-
ious for Delaware county to have this
good thing, will send their name and
dollar to the chairman in their respec-
tive township. o.--.r sr'''ez

Acting under instructions from Wal

local ice companies will not compete

that the Peoples Ice & Fuel Co. and

the period of the war virtually wipes
out all competition for business by the
