PAINFUL ACCIDENT CAPTAIN SPRINGER
GIVEN RousING WELCOME UPON
ARRIVAL AT HOME.

Captain Jonathan Springer Of Com
pany H 16Sth Regt. of the famods
Rainbow Division that whipped Ger
manys best, is home from France.
The Captain was gassed in one of the
frontal engagements and was COM
pletely knocked out" He arrived
home Friday afternoon, November %,
over the Rock Island from the base
hosUital at Des Moines where he has
been under treatment since being
brought back to America some few
weeks since.
When it became known that Captain
Springer was COMING the people flock
ed to- the station by every available
means and when the train pulled into
the station the platform was filled
/, with one big reception committee.
Captain Springer had no sooner set
foot upon the platform than he was
grabbed from all sides at once. This
was no frontal attack. He was sur
rounded and helpless. The kisses and
hugs of the Sammies Mothers almost
smothered him and if he had had forty
hands they would all have been engaged
at the same time. As soon as he had
made the rounds the Captain was
taken to John Blakeslees car and
started up town"
Going by the Hanna Garment fac
tory another ovation was encountered
1.-THE Hanna girls were all at the win
dows or other vantage points and
when the Captain went by they cheer
ed Justify, waved flags and otherwise
added to the feature Of the welcome
home"
The car stopped at the Commercial
Club headquarters and here another
demonstration was encountered. Mind
ful of the fact that the Captain Il
not yet in his full strength the mel
were considerate and excused him TO
the time being. The officer was turn
ed over to the tender mercies of thu
Sammies Mothers and he was driver
% the home of Mrs. e. E. Crete, No
201 South c street, where he was Civ
en- careful attention until taken to hi
home southwest of town.
A number of the mothers calle'
and talked about their boys in service
The Captain replied as best he could
He said that when he left the boy
were all doing well and were happy
He hopes to come back and spend
whole day in which he will talk wit
he Sammies Mothers.

HOLIDAY i'll Q[lyA||'Y SHOPPING
QUARANTINE MAY oUTLAST THE
OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES

Doctor f. Marsh Williams has been
interrogated concerning the possibili
ties of lifting the lid for the holiday
trade. 1t may be that the quaran.
tine will extend beyond the period OF
the holidays and that crowds at this
time are the very thing to be avoided
Doctor Williams therefore urges
that those who can, should do their
holiday shopping early and have ii
finished and out of the way of those
who, for various reasons, are delayed
until the last few days.
: The crowd is the thing to keep
away from. Do your shopping early
in the day and as soon as possible,
saving yourself and possibly the 9th.

BUTTER PRODUCTION SHRINKS
Barney Says State Supply Decreased
100000 Pounds-Urges Slim
uIation of Business.

Cedar Rapids, Ia, Nov. % w. B.
Barney state dairy and food commits
sioner, in making plea to the Iowa
butter-makers' convention in session
here, for an increase in the output, de-
clared that butter production in Iowa
fell off 100000 pounds last year. He
attributed the decrease to shortage of
labor, the effect of war on trade and
the fact that beef values had increased
SO per cent over year ago, which in.
duced many farmers to sell for slaugh-
ter the decreasing supply of dairy
cattle.
He declared that lack of rain in the
southwestern part of the state had
caused shortage of corn, which al
rected the milk production there. He
predicted, however, that the produc.
ton would become normal again in
1919 if the farmers were assured that
prices would not go to smash.
Mr.. Barney said that tuberculosis is
not so prevalent in Iowa cattle as
many persons thought; that while
testing for this disease last year il
was found that only 10 per cent of the
cattle were affected, which is decid.
ed Improvement over four years ago
He pointed out that the only way ia
combat the disease is to keep stables
clean.
Mr.. Barney declared that Iowa is
first in hogs, first in corn and first in
why it should not be first in dairying
AS ii is, Iowa stands third in milk
production.
