Very Little Cholera i'm Winneshiek

DR.. o. NJ Enger, of McGregor,

DEBORAH and vicinity last week
looking after hog cholera conditions,
and found it of interest to advise
farmers, that while there was very
little cholera in Winneshiek county
he finds it nearby and it is every
mans duty to watch out for any
symptoms of it in their hogs, and
let the county agent know, or get
in touch with Mr.. Enger. His ser
vices are free. Stamp II out before

animation. The chief clerk of the
railway mail service marks all papers,
and the positions go to those standing
highest in these examinations held at
stated times and conducted by the
chief clerk. The following from the
.. S. Postal Guide of February, 1918,
on page three, explains the details of
the examinations:
In order to correct an apparent mis-
understanding with reference to the
provisions of Section 300 of the Postal
Laws and Regulations, and paragraph
Sc, page Sd, of the July, 1917, Postal
Guide, relating to case examinations,
the attention of postmasters, at all
second-class offices is directed to the
fact that the Department now re-
quires that all clerks, including the
assistant postmaster, in second-class
Offices Except assistant postmasters
at central accounting offces,) shall
take the regular case examination on
outgoing mails at least once each
year, in order that their services may
be available when an unsual amount
The Sauk Centre herald., 1918-08-15

of mail is to be dispatched, or in the
event of the unexpected absence of
one or more distributors. No clerks
will be excused from this examination,
regardless of the duties to which they
may be regularly assigned. Clerks
who fail to meet the requirements in
the case examination should not he
recommended for promotion. Repeat
ed or inexcusable failures will result
in disciplinary action.
Much needless expense and cor
respondence will be avoided if post
masters will cooperate fully with the
chief clerks of the Railway Mail Ser
vice in requiring their clerks to be
prepared for the examinations on the
dates scheduled.
Postmasters are also required to re-
frain from writing the Department,
asking that certain of their clerks be
excused from the examination on ac-
count of the nature of their duties, as
the Department must uniformly and
consistently decline to grant such re-
quests.

wisdom Of Daylight Saving.

Who ever thinks nowadays that the
sun is an hour behind the clock? Who
ever tells himself it "really Is FIVE
o'clock" when it is six? We go peace
ably to bed when the clock tells us to /:
we arise by the same token; we eat,
play and work by the Promethean In.
strument which, for war and common
sense purposes, is stealing go golden
minutes every day from the sun to
benefit the human race. And nary q
vulture of any description is tearing
at the clocks vitals for filching the
same.
Here and there is little petty thiev-
cry such as the beginning of baseball
games at 8 80 o'clock that used to be-
gin at three o'clock; but the public is
too busy with great work, and at pres
ent with the races and golf recreation
to worry about that. In general. Amer
lea is living by the clock as it should
do. and the wisdom of the daylight saw
ings law is thousand times manifest.

War Economy Board has
Issued Strict Regulations
to Garage Ouners

As large number of car owners
are not familiar with the requests of
the War Economy Board to garage
men, the following instructions are
published. 1t will be seen that much
cooperation between the garage men
and the car owner is necessary.
Recommendations.
If it is your desire to comply one
hundred per cent with the requests
of the War Economy Board, you will
LIST. Discontinue all free service
which you have been rendering in the
past in connection with your business.
End. Discontinue automobile re-
pair work, automobile service Of any
kind, as well as sales in connection

p. m. on Monday, Tuesdays, Thurs
days and Fridays and after 10 o'clock
p. m. on Wednesdays and Saturdays
until after September Is, after which
date you will close every week day at
6 o'clock p. m. and all day Sundays
and holidays.
3rd. Put your automobile, tire, ac-
cessories, gasoline, oils and shop
business on strictly cash basis.
4th. Educate your users, as far as
possible, to take care of their own
minor adjustments; urge them to see

necessary emergency repair work on
all cases of trucks, or farm imple-
ments which are being used strictly
for commercial purposes; that when
a physician or undertaken on profess
sional business, strikes trouble he is
to be taken care of; that arrangements

See her coming up the street
She's lady trim and neat,
High-heeled boots with pin-point toes,
Paint and powder on her nose.
A peek-a-boo shirt-waist cunning and
sweet.
The knee-length skirt so very neat,
Transparent hose with prison-bars,
Woven around like string Of cars.
These are war-times don't you know?
See her waist is very low,
For since she's patriotic saver,
She saves the goods all for her
neighbor.
Wants to win the worldwide war,
Still have dainties the galore.
Wants to help to lick the Kaiser,
So she's dress economizer.

tions md gained points Of vantage

sault.,
General Pershing's first American
army. standing before the fortress
Of Metx has Strengthened it, lines
across the base Of the st. Mihiel So
lient. It is known that there is .
heavy concentration Of men in this
region and it Is expected the Ameri'
cans will not give the enemy mucr
time to recuperate before delivering
. new blow against this bastion Of
the German positions on the west
ern 'front.' In the Vosges region
there is great activity by the enemy
who evidently expects the American
lepions there to attack the Germans
to the west of the Rhine. In TINS
section Of the battle front the Am;
ericans are standing on German SOIL
and an assault there, would If sue
cessful, carry the war nearer to the
heart of Germany than elsewhere
along the line. The country to be
traversed by an attacking army, how.
ever, is very rough and lends itself
admirably to defensive operations
Marshal Foch, however, may elect
to strike to the west Of Verdun where
the German positions have been Sc
riously shaken by the American VIC
tory at St. Mihiel. An attack from
Rheims to Verdun was expected three
weeks ago after the British and
French advance in Picardy and San
terre had slowed down. 1t would have
far reaching effects, if it should sue
coed, and probably would compel a
German retreat from the region north
of Rheims as we'll as relocation OF
the enemy's lines around Verdun,
which is a section that seems to be
vital to the enemy's position in eastern
France. In the Flanders area the
British have nearly reached the lines
they held when the Germans launch
ed their attack in April on each side
Of Armentieres. This, too, is a Sec
tor where an allied offensive may be
expected.
Allied successes along the front
in Macedonia may indicate that the
period of quiescence in the near east
is at an end. Strategists have point
ed out that a great offensive on this
front would have immediate results
in determining the position of Bull
earia and Turkey as allies of Ger
many. The gains made by the allies
along the center of the Macedonian
line would seem to indicate that there
was plenty of power behind the blow
and that it may be followed up by
other attacks which will shift the
scene of action for the time being t.
a front which appears perilous for the
enemy. The entente allied forces op-
Grating in Siberia have been active
north of Vladivostok and have won
victories which may be reflected in
breaking down Of the Bolshevik
regime in eastern Siberia. The Czecho-
Slovak forces operating to the west

a6rted that Austrie acted on its own
initiative in sending out its proposal
but the offer Of Germany to Belgium
points to what may be said to be
more than coincidence and probably
: desperate peace offensive 10 now
we'll under way. II official sentiment
u reflected by newspaper comment
at the entente capitals, the efforts Of
the Central Powers to reach peace
by negotiation are doomed to failure.
Coldly Received (
In London and Paris the offer Of
Austria was coldly received while at
Washington it is pointed out that
the United States will not entertain
any peace overtures that can, at
best, bring only temporary respite
from hostilities and will leave Ger
many and Austria free to break the
peace Of the world at any future
date.
Along the battle line American at
tention is directed chiefly at the
front in Lorraine, where the Ameri-
cans are under fire from the fortress
Of Metz and are apparently making
ready for q drive against the line, to
which the Germans withdrew their
shattered columns from the st.
Nihiel salient. Along this front
American forces are on the thresh-
old Of Germany.
More Than Local Victory
The victory Of General Pershing's
men has had more than merely To-
cal effect. German lines to the
southwest have been weakened by
the heavy blow dealt along the
heights Of the Meuse while to the
northwest the Germans are forced to
adapt themselves to the new menace
which has taken from them the cor
nerstone of their positions to the
east Of Verdun. Slowly the British
are creeping nearer the Hindenburg
line in Picardy. Maissem, northwest
of st. Quentin, has been taken from
the Germans, who also were forced
out of Holnon wood, further south.
OF the passengers on the British
liner Galway Castle, sunk by Ger
man submarine on Thursday, 154 are
missing. The number of passengers
on the steamer was 749 instead of
$50, as at first supposed.

That the services rendered by the
American Red Cross on the western
front during the severe fighting Of
the last month has contributed to the
success Of our troops is the opinion
expressed in letters from American
officers now being received 1t the
Paris headquarters Of the organiza-
t;on. One such letter from Major
General Robert A. Bullard, command.
inc the First Division in France, was
contained in a cable received by the
War Council Of the Red Cross re-
Gently. It follows:
"Your prompt and liberal co-opera-
tioi, abundance Of supplies furnished
both to hospitals and to men enroute
to and from the field, and aid rem
dered by your ambulance and camion
service in transporting wounded, were
not only timely but absolutely neces-
sary to meet the needs Of our men.
Indeed, it is difficult to understand
what the result would have been
without these services.
"The American people may we'll
feel proud of the organization which
they have built up and it is q matter
of congratulation that contributions
which they have made are use dso ap-
propriately. On behalf Of the divi-
sion I beg you and your assistants
will accept my gratitude" -
