A Patriotic MiIkman.

AS troop train was standing on
the Chicago Great Western track al
Waverly early one morning last
week, c. E. Voss, the milkman,
drove his dairy wagon close to the
train and gave to the soldiers his
entire supply of milk, bottles and
all. The boys were delighted and
offered to pay him for it, but this
he refused, and said that if the
train was held for half an hour he
would go home and bring more.
This could not be done, but the
boys we're very thankful for the
goodly supply they received, and
made it go as far as possible. Per-
haps some of Mr.. Voss' patrons
were late in getting their milk that
day, but it is safe to say that they
did not complain when they learned
what caused the delay.

Cane.

zane.
Many farmers are planting cane
for sorghum strip. A great many
more to make their plans to do so
at once. Mills have been located
in most of the counties. There are
still a few in which cane mills will
be needed. Such communities
should report to the County Agents
Office and provisions will be made
with them. Everybody should con-
slider it their patriotic duty, not
only for the good Of the county,
but for themselves as well, to
plant a half acre to cane at once.
1t should pay big. Seed dealers
in practically every town in the
county are handling seed for the
people. Plan to plant patch OF
cane this year.
Swat the Rooster
The Matching season is now over.
The time to Swat the Rooster" is
now. Infertile eggs are fully as
good for food and will keep much
better during the warm weather
This will prevent large loss which
is always expected with fertile eggs
Hens will lay at least as we'll wher
not mated as when mated. This
is the proper time to store eggs
for winter use. Now they are as
cheap as you can expect them tC
be. They can be stored and pre-
served in water glass or in lime
water as well as by other methods
When properly stored they will bC
found to be practically as good a:
fresh eggs next winter and viii
have cost less than one-half as much
as fresh eggs will at that time. Or

Some miscreants, painted find
daubed the front of Saam's store
last evening in a shameful manner
Such acts of vandalism and wilful
destruction of peroperty are a dis
grace to the city and more in keep
ing with the record of the Huns
than that of patriotic citizens. The
perpetrators of this outrage should
be ferreted out and made to pay
the penalty. If there is anything
against Mr. Saam as a patriotic
citizen he should be brought to the
bar of justice and not have his

URGES EGG CONSERVATION.
Commissioner Barney Inaugurates
| "Swat the Rooster" Campaign.

w. B. Barney, state food and
dairy commissioner, is inaugerating
a campaign to increase egg pro-
duction during the summer months
and keep the eggs fresh. He de-
clares that in 1916 Iowa lost $5,-
100000 worth of eggs and large
part of this loss was due to the fact
that the eggs were fertile. If
Iowans had entered the campaign
that year to "swat the rooster" and
had killed off the roosters much
of this loss would have been aver
ted.
Commissioner Barney advocates
the getting rid of the majority of
the ROSTERS of the flocks during the
summer months. They can be used
for food, and the eggs will be much
more apt to keep if the roosters
are killed off.
Twelve hours of hot July or Aug
ust weather will spoil a fertile egg,
he says. Infertile eggs reach the
market in good condition and are
worth more money.
In a statement issued, Commits,
sioner Barney says: ''As a means
of conserving Iowa's egg crop Iowa
farmers and poultry dealers arr
urged to cooperate in Kidding the
laying flocks of BOOSTERS and thu:
do their bit in helping Iowa pro
duce more food"

FROM FOOD ADMINISTRATORS.
Tells Our People About COnsumpt-
ion of Flour, Binding Irvine
Requirements, Etc.

Following is a Federal Food Ad-
ministration ruling of general in
terest: "All persons who go out in
to the country and buy eggs from
the farmers or producers, and do
not sell them at retail, must secure
wholesalers license and be
governed by the rules and regula-
tions regarding wholesalers"
Millions of bushels of wheat and
other small grain can be saved by
better threshing methods. In Kan
sas alone 100000 bushels Of
wheat are lost annually because OF
the bad threshing. The United
States Food Administration has or
ganized to try to prevent this loss.
Capt. X. D. Hequenbourg of Okla
homa is head of the Division.
County Threshing Committees will
be established to do the work.
Each committee, will maintain open
headquarters and devote attention
to threshing operations within the
county, endeavoring through me-
chanical assistance and emphasis
on methods of conservation to Sc
cure a high quality Of work. The
first step toward the operation of
the Grain Threshing Division is to
secure the names and addresses Of
individuals or associations who own
and operate threshing machines in
the United States.
Herbert Hoover has notified Food
Administrator Deems that the plans
to ask the churches and lodges OF
Iowa to help promote the total alb
stinance from wheat movement in
Iowa. He says: I'm view of the
serious wheat situation, we are con-
sidering a special appeal through
all churches to church families
from the pulpit, to voluntarily give
up wheat and wheat products, un-
til next harvest, following the eX-
ample of the first class hotels, clubs
the Genearl Federation of Women s
Clubs and certain sections of the
country"
Farmers are earnestly requested
by the Food Administration tC
place their orders for binder Irvine
requirements as soon as possible
so that the local dealers can pro-
vide by early shipment for an ade-
quate supply of twine to meet their
harvest rrqWremehts. Shipping
conditions are such that more time
must be allowed from factory to
local distributing points to avoid
danger of shortage in supply. -
Iowa can consume but %, 200 bar
rels of flour or 100000 pounds.
during the period until harvest. 1t
is estimated that there are 1850
barrels or 25,000,000, pounds in
the state over and above the quaint
ity required for our people until
Aug. 25. The work of collecting
this -four is now going forward in
charge of d. G.. Thomson, of Bur-
lington, chief of the flour division,
and his assistant, w. H. Darner,
of Des Moines. 1t will be assembled
in the hands of the jobbers and
placed in warehouses which will be
located at centers in different parts
of the state. Consumers who have
surplus of flour will return it to
the merchants from whom they
bought it at price to be agreed
on between them and it will be re-
turned by them to the jobbers who
will turn it over to the Food Adj
ministration. Only unbroken, ORR
ginal packages can be used in this
collection.

Gas

We have faith to expect warm
weather sometime between the pre-
sent date and the Goth of September
the end of summer, and many
Oelwein people are anxious to know
whether or not gas service is to
be resumed. Some months ago the
G, o. c. and many citizens advised
the city council to permit a tenn
porary rise in price from $3.50 to
S2.25 it was on the assumption that
service would be maintained. None
of us cared to knock on the gas
company, provided they would de-
liver the goods even at so per
cent advance in price. But the
company has fallen down and
practically shut up shop for the
past month and more. We realize
that the gas consumers have had a
rotten deal and in order that the
gas company might not have the
.$2.25 rate as trading stock the city
council reduced the rate TO the old
standard-$1.50 1t doesn't seem
to make much difference whether
the rate is $2.25 or $3.50 as long as
no gas is forthcoming Faith is
the substance of gas hoped for, the
evidence of gas not supplied but
we still hope that gas will be manu-
featured in Oelwein before next
winter.
