II l.. C. Bolson of route Z, Winn-

chicken raisers in the state of Iowa.
His chickens are the Colorpate

Gently exhibited fifteen birds at the
big ST. Paul show and his chickens

the winnings.
1t is said that they attracted
more real attention than any birds
at the snow, and he received orders
galore for chickens. He sold 45 pull
lets to a breeder at Mankato. Mr.
Bolsol has been interested in the
chicken business for number of
years, and we believe he has as good
a strain OF chickens as can be found
in the country anywhere.
The st. Paul show is one of the

REFUSE no USE WHEAT.
Waterloo Women Agree to Make
Every Day Wheatless.

Following the food talks here
in Waterloo Sunday evening by Dr.
Ray l.. Wilbur, president of Leland
Stanford university, and Everett
Colby of New Jersey, Waterloo wo-
men have made a solemn VOW they
will not eat particle of wheat
bread as long as the war lasts.
These women had before scrupu-
lousy observed wheatless days and
wheatless meals Oh other days, but
they say now that they are willing
to refrain from using wheat -four
so that tine soldiers and civilian
population of the countries at war
may have their share.
The part of DR.. Wilbur's speech,
which made deep impression upon
all the women and men who heard
him was a picture of man TAX
ing bread from the outstretched
hand Of child dying from hunger.
DR.. Wilbur depicted a part of the
American people as in this position
when they take bread away from
civilian population of Belgium.
Decorah women and Decorah
men also take the same position
as the Waterloo folks, since these
great speakers visited DEBORAH last
week.

NEW MILK FIRM.
Hall and Kraby Have Taken Over
the Holland Milk Route

Messrs. c. B. Hall and Albert
Kraby have leased the j. S. Holland
farm for term of three years, and
have taken over the milk route also
and will conduct that in the future.
They are both very capable men for
this business.
Before coming to DEBORAH Mr..
Hall was manager of the r.. B. Ba-
ker Milk Co. in New York City for
eight years and he knows the bust
ness from start to finish, and for
the past two years he has conduc-
ted the Holland milk route il Deco
rah. He thoroughly understands the
business from every angle and has
made a big success here, and has
given the best of satisfaction to all
his customers.
Mr.. Kraiby is also al experienced
man in the business. He used to
conduct the Beard milk route in
DEBORAH, and is also an expert but
termaker and creamery man. With
their long experience in the milk
business these gentlemen should
make big success of their under
taking here.
Mr.. Holland is undecided yet just
what he will do. He viii remain on
the farm for some time yet, and
| possibly later move to DEBORAH and
enjoy little rest. He has been
farming for many years and has
made a success of it, and we think
he is entitled to little respite now.
