Silks and satins cannot always win a man.
Most men in these days desire woman with
something more than vacuum in their
head.-Exchange.
Great Scott! Are the men such conceited mem
bers of that long-eared tribe of beasts that they
suppose for minute that the woman of today
is either interested in Dress or in filling the va
cuum just to satisfy mans "desire?" Can
you beat it! The woman of 1918 cares not at
all whether she is satisfactory to the gallant sex
but she is coming into very keen sense OF
valuations and it behooves man to think less OF
what he finds desirable in womanhood, and more
of what woman shall find to respect in him
Were feeling better, thank you'll

Redwood Falls is patiently waiting for The
Springfield Free Press to use the same editorial
space and vim in generating one of her citizens
who was unjustly accused, as it used in report
ing the mere rumor of his accusation. Notices
of exoneraton were published in both the Red
wood Falls papers and if Editor Erickson is as
lust as we think him to be he will fully and
carefully remove the stigma his editorial placed
upon this man. although his article mentioned
no names.

Talk has always been known the cheapest
commodity in the world. Never was there
time when it is so pitifully cheap as today No
matter how buoyantly, boisterously, blatanty
patriotic it may be it will not buy one article of
food or clothing for the khaki-lads, it will not
satisfy the hunger of one starving Belgian child,
nor help to care for one feeble mother whom
the war has bereaft Of her support These things
take money. that money which the American
people have accumulated-probably for just some
great time like the present-that money which
is going to be put into circulation again by the
next Liberty Loan Bond sale which we are go
ing to see started within the next few weeks. The
following verse by J. O. Pingrey, new version
of "Keep the Home Fires Burning" is our idea
exactly:
Over seas there came a pleading
"Help nation in distress
And our willing Sammies answered,
Heading for Berlin-no less.
While they fight, we have to feed them.
Send them guns and shells galore;
So we must respond-come, buy bond
And help to win this war
(Chorus)
Keep the war wheels turning,
Keep the kaiser squirming.
While our boys hold foes at bay
The bills come home.
Here's the chance you've waited,
To prove you're moderated.
Turn your pockets inside out;
Back the boys from home.

To Feed the Sow.

The ration for the SOW varies with
size, age, and other conditions;
young sows require more than ma
ture sows in proportion to their
weight because they not only have
to develop their young, but they
have to supply their own system
with muscle, bone, and tissue build
ing substance. Sows kept in good,
warm winter quarters require less
feed than those forced to sleep be-
hind the shed or in the fence corner.
Before narrowing, there are sever
al mixtures of grain that may be
used with good results, some of
which are as follows:
CD 2 parts corn, part shorts
and 1-12th of the total mixture
tankage, meat meal, or oil meal.
(2) part corn, parts skim
milk.
CD Equal parts of barley, oats
and shorts.
(4) Equal parts of corn, oats and
middlings.
Give bulky and laxative feeds such
as roots, chopped alfalfa, soy bean
hay, cowpea hay, bran or oil meal,
when the SOW is not on pasture.
The sow should be placed where
she is to farrow some ten days be-
fore narrowing time and should be
provided with dry, sanitary, we'll
bedded and warm quarters.
