ST. PATRICK.
Those WHO Wear the Green on His
Day Include Many Than Those
Who Came From the .'Ould
Sod"

Among the ancient heroes of the
church none enjoys more germine
popularity than st. Patrick. Those
who wear the green on his own day
include many others than those that
originated on the "ould sod. st.
Patrick's day means something more
than the memory of any one man.
1t is a, sentimental celebration for a
powerful race strain in, our American
melting pot.
The old saint himself was typical
of the race that acknowledges him as
patron saint. He was an aggressive
old churchmam When he came over
Ireland was heather, and he left it
Christian, founding 365 churches and
baptisirlg $4,000 people with his own
hands.
That indicates man of tireless
energy. This quality has always
been al Irish characteristic. Very
few loafers are fourd among this
people. The first pioneers in their
migration to America lived the most
humble life. Wearing picturesque
red shirts, they built our railroads
while the old time Americans looked
on rather superciliously.
In spite of all difficulties and much
toilsome labor, the Irish people for
many years came over in great num-
beers. Their little homes were usual
ly surrounded by flowers, the siga OF
an imaginative and hopeful race
By and by the new generation began
to appear ir, our schools and in our
business AID politics. Always they
were force to be reckoned with
They have been hard fighters, fearing
not hard knocks, but loyal friends
and with generous hearts.
The good humor with which they
have met the toll and conflict of life
| is splendid gift of temperament
Their tireless energy has contributed
big share to our Industrial progress
So. hats off to st. Patrick and the
friendly followers who wear the
friendly followers who wear the
green!

BEWARE OF WHITE GRUB.
Specialist of U. S. Dept. Coming to
Winneshiek March % and 26.


While the white grub is on the
job every year, his most serious dam
age is done every third year. He
was very much on the job in 1912
and 1915. He is due again in 1918
We hope he fails to make his sched-
ule. Nevertheless we must prepare
for his coming.
The farmer of northeastern Iowa
quite fully recalls the terrible ra-
wages of the white grub in the past
AS far as possible corn should not
be planted on Timothy or June grass
sod. However, it is appreciated that
this cannot be avoided in all cases.
Arrangements are. being made for
a specialist of the U. S. Department
of Agriculture, who is working in
Iowa, to spend March 20 and 26 in
Winneshiek county. AS many meet
ings as his time will permit of at
tending will be staged through the
county.
He will discuss this problem with
us. Bring in your questions and sug-
gestions. Meeting places will be an
nounced next week.

RATE APPLIES TO
 50 MILE RADIUS

Washington, Nov 30.-The amend ment to the war revenue bill adopted by the Senate Finance Committee pro- viding for new second class postage rates after July l, next, made 90, miles instead of 200 miles the limit for the old one cent per pound rate, with one and one half cents a pound applying beyond the fifty mile area.
 When the committee yesterday adopted an amendment repeating the present second class pone system and substituting that for one and one half cents, respectively Chairman Simmons and other members announced that the one cent rate would apply within a radius of 200 miles of mailing points The amendment actually adopted however, provides that the one cent rate is applicable only within the fourth class parcel pssr zone, which is but fifty miles
 Senators said they understood this zone was POO miles and some correct ion to meet the general understand ing may be made later.

MEETING OF COUNT AND COUNTESS IS
 PATHETIC SCENE;

 Although eye witnesses describe the scene as "surely worthy th9 painters brush" no description of the reunion of the once kaiser and his empress has become public.
 Count Von Bentinck, the host of the former Imperial couple. snavely points out his delicate position and declines to answer questions regard ing Herr and Frau Hohenzolern. gtv- ing as his ground that the Dutch government is the host and that he has no right to make known the de- tails of the daily life of the visitors.
 The former emperor is surrounded by. a band of trIsty retainers, who may be relied upon to keep their mouths closed. The arrival of his wife caused little excitement in the village. Few persons were at the station tol witness her debarkat1on from the train

STABILITY OF GOLD
 STANDARD CONSIDERE

London, Oct. 30.--Conditions. neces- sary to the maintenance of an effect i've gold standard should be restored without delay after the terms of peace are signed, reports Il committee head ed by Lord Cunliffe which was ap- pointed to consider currency and for eign exchange probler.;, after the war. The committee said:
 Unless the machinery which long experience has shown to be the only effectively remedy for an adverse bal ance of trade and an undue growth of credit is once more brought into play, there will be grave danger of pro- gressive credit expansion which will result in a foreign drain of gold men, acing the convertabil'Sy of our issue and so jeopardising the international trade position of the country"
 To maintain the gold standard the committee recommended cessation of government borrowing as soon as pos- sible, establishment of an adequate sinking fund out of the revenues and tEe raising of the Bank of England discount rates.

 Shipping to Neigllbor German States
 On.
 Washington, Nov. 30.-Customs au- thorities today took steps to remove practically the last of the wartime harbor restrictions by ordering eli m1natlon of the censorship of ship and consignees' mail carried by ships, and most of the drastic practices relating to search of inbound and outbound vessels.
 The examination of mail and other communications carried outside the regular mail service will be abandon ed December for most shipping, but will be maintained partially for an indefinite period for shipping to and from European neutral countries coy tinguous to Germany to prevent trans mission of improper documents. This exception for these neutral ports also applies to the search of vessels by customs insectors.
 Censorship of exported moving pie ture films. taken originally to prevent the carrying out of military or other information of value to the enemy, al- so will cease being. This work has been carried on heretofore at nine points through staff of censors who inspected miles and miles of films shown for their especial benefit. Similarly the censorship of phono- graph records for export, heretofore directed at factories has been aband- oned.
 The~custOms bureau also announced that it had removed harbor restrict ions imposed under the espionage act which required the licensing of har- bor craft, reporting and licensing of vessels in coastwise trade, and the Identification of officers and crews of coastwise and harbor vessels. The prohibition against use of cameras about harbors is removed
 HarbOr police regulations, certain navy restrictions, and the require ments for the reporting of a few large coastwise steamers, still re- main in effect
