ELECTRICITY HELPS FARM PRO
DUCTION.

Success in farming, as in any mod
ern business, depends largely upor
getting the greatest possible return
with the smallest expenditure of time
and effort.
There was time, not so long ago,
when that was merely an attractive
general principle-when it was Just
considered good business to put such
principle into effect. But things
are different now. Today we are
confronted with the absolute neces-
,sity of marshaling all the forces of
the farm community for the battle
for increased farm production.
It is because Of this necessity that
the government bureaus are lending
every possible aid to the cause Of
increased production; that county
agents are making every effort to
help the farmers in their respective
territories; that money is available as
never before for the purchase Of all
items Of farm machinery and equip.
ment which will hedp to the common
end, assure bountiful harvests year
after year, and an adequate food Aup-
ply for our dependent millions.
Forces heretofore overlooked are
being called into service by the farm
er. One Of the most valuable Of these
aids is being discovered in the use of
electricity-complete electric service
made possible by the introduction Of
dependable electric light and power
plant for farms.
Electricity is helping the farmer
and his family to do more and better
work with less time and effort, and,
as a result Of the modern conve-
niences made possible by electricity,
it is making the farm a better place
to live and to work.

LIQUOR MAKES A NATION GREAT?
NO-SHIRTS and Collars!


And now the liquor men are saying that the DRINK
ING nations are the RULING nations Of the world!
"Can anybody imagine man like H1NDENBURG
satisfying his thirst from bottle of pop? asks one of
the opponents of the of strong drink as through
this settled the question.
Hindenburg's Kaiser warned his army as to what
drink would do it
And if the Germans have been prompted to commit
fiendish acts because of the use of beer-but well
let that pass
It is being daily demonstrated that the BIGGEST
men in America are temperate in their of liquor
if they are not total abstaners.
Note the prominent athletes.
Watch the men at the head of big business enter
prises Study the leaders in the professions.
Yes-talk to bunch of travelling men, Ask them
how many men they know who have been voluntarily
getting on the water wagon within the past lew
years-and then ask them why.
It's because they realize that If they are to stay
in the game they must cut out booze!
But does anybody imagine that BOOZE is really
responsible for nations greatness? May not ma
ton be great in SPITE of booze And may we not find
some OTHER factor which is to all great ma
tons?
What is it that makes nation great?
It's the fact that it's linen shirts and COL

DETAINED AT ELLIS ISLAND
Young Man on Way to DEBORAH Had
Exciting Experience at Ellis
Island

f. Haugeland, a young Luther
college student, who left DEBORAH
last July for his nome in Christiaaa,
Norway, arrived here last week, hav-
ir.g left Norway Feb. Z, on the Berg
ensford, arriving il New York Feb.
Is. He had quite an experience with
the inspection! officers when he ar
rived at Ellis Island. He worked his
way over on the ship, having made
the trip several times before the
same way. The passengers were all
subjected to a very rigid Inspections
Mr.. Hauge,and was held a number
of days before he was permitted to
leave, and he coulden't figure out
why, thought perhaps they took
him for spy. He was kept at the
Hotel McAlpel for several days, ard
then taken back to Ellis Island for
couple of days, and all the time he
was wondering why. Finally a tele-
gram was sent to j. G. HeXom here
in DEBORAH. 1t was written by Mr..
Haugeland and sert by the officers.
When the answer came they read it.,
and that let him out. They held him
principally because his pass was rDt
signed by the American Consul.
But he got out of that by the fact
that he worked his way over, and it
wasn't necessary to have a pass when
az member OF the crew.
Four other boys were on the ship
bound for DEBORAH also to attend
Luther Two of them were friends
of his. For some reason they
haven't arrived in DEBORAH yet. Vice
consul DR.. Stabo, of DEBORAH, has
taken the matter up to try and trace
the boys.
Mr.. Haugelald tells us that living
is very high in Norway n,ow. Butter
costs $3.50 for two pounds, and it is
almost impossible to get any at that
price even. They are killing whales
now to get oils for fats. Shoes and
clothing are very high. Mr.. Hauge-
land is wearing al overcoat now pur-
chased in Norway, which cost nearly
500. Perhaps three of the same
kind could be purchased here for the
price he paid. Practically everything
else is sky high.

father, advanced in practical infOr-
nation and has the prospect of
coming into possession of consider

try boy, coming to town, would need
learn his new BUSINESS. The town
boy going to the country is on level
with him in that respect. A closer
acquaintance will bertefit both.

Meatless DAYS Save Much Beef.

Meatless days III the United States
have saved 14O,O0O,00O pounds of
beef in four months, the food ad-
Illustrator announced. During this
period 165, 100000 pounds of beef
were exported to the allies together
with 100000, 900 pounds OF pork
products. The figures were made
public in statement why the food
refused requests OF
cattle and sheep growers to remove
beef, mutton and lambs from the con-
servation rules with regard to meat
less days. The administration again
declared that meatless day was es-
tablished for the purpose OF enab-
ling the United States to feed the
allies by saving on our meat con-
sumption.

farm Bureau Directors Meet.

Orr Saturday the directors of Farm
Bureau Association held a meeting
at the Court house. Mr.. Watrud the
newly appointed county agent was
or, hand ready to go to work. The
articles of Incorporation and bylaws
were adopted and AN executive COM
mittee appointed. 1t is the ambition
Of the Farm Bureau to assist in car
rying out the Federal program for
increased production and greater
ecorpmy of food supplies. Every
farmer should observe this week as
repair week, and not let UP until his
equipment is ready for the Spring
drive. Seed corn should be on hand
and every ear tested at once. The
farmers of Iowa have adopted the
slogan, five to ten acres of spring
wheat or, every farm il Iowa in
1918" Let every farmer do his bit
in this regard by substituting some
spring wheat for oats. The Farm
Bureau earnestly Solicits complete
corporation in carrying out these
national requests.

Man-POwer and Water-Supply

The shortage of man-pOwer will be
felt as keelly on the farm and about
the country town home as anywhere
durirE the coming summer and the
continuation of the war.
Water supply has always been a
drudgery about the farm home, a
large part of which has usually fallen
to the women folk, labor usually
beyond a woma1's physical strength
at least il SO far as health and COM
fort are concerned, and which usually
the men folk would be glad to re-
lieve them of, were it practical.
The farm is now unusual which
does not have availa BILE within a short
distance electric service, or a gas
engine. There is perhaps no appli-
ar.ce so serviceaible to the farmer as
good gas engine. This or q small
motor where electricity is available,
pneumatic tank, some pipe, faucets,
bowls and tubs transforms the or
binary water-drudged home ilto one
Of convenience, comfort and cleanli-
ness, giving it dignity and charac-
ter considerable in excess of the
trifiing cost.
Peter Johnson & Sors of DEBORAH
are il a position to install these
necessary thir,gs, and will be glad to
give all necessary information per-
tanning to them.

School Teachers for Farm Work.

1t is now proposed that our school
teachers shall do a bit of farm work
during the vacation weeks to help
win the war. The teachers might
even learn to drive a self-binder, and
that would help some with the oats
and wheat, since We are going into
the wheat growing business again
Or they might learn to milk the
cows. Every bit is worth DOING
