THE MEAT SITUATION.

a
sumption Of meat and meat products" I"
That is the edict from Herbert Hoov-
er in Washington. "The food admin
istration is extremely desirous Of Sc
curing economy in consumption OF
all kinds Of meat, without the REIN
station Of meatless days, for the pres
ent. If the public will continue the
rigorous elimination of waste and
will further economic by reducing
the quantities prepared for each meal
OF all kinds Of meat and poultry, more
particularly beef and will restrict
their purchases accordingly, the food
administration hopes that the neces-
sary balance can be maintained"
This will not be hard for US Della
ware county people to do with the
oncoming garden vegetables and
fruit, the new meat substitute dishes
OF cottage cheese and meatless meat
loaf, we can help save on meat very
easily.
We would be better of II we did
cut our meat supply nearly in two,
anyway, most Of us, especially this
time OF year.
Let's do our bit and not force the
'meatless" days.
The potato drive continues. DEM
onstrations are being held in Dundee,
Masonville. Thorpe and Edgewood this
week, with q public demonstration
Saturday afternoon in Manchester ON
May 11th at 2 o'clock. Now Is the
time for us to use up all the potatoes
we can and save on the wheat. Let
the wheat 60 over to defend us and
the potatoes serve as the "Home
Guard"

People who can afford to use butter
are supposed to use II in order to en-
courage and stimulate the dairy In
dustry. Use skim milk or whole milk
as much as possible.
Milk gives the body building pro-
tein. It is like eggs and meat in this.
This bodybuilding substance, the pro-
tein. is not new to you, for curd of
milk is protein. Cottage cheese is
curd separated out from milk. The
milk protein is good for everybody
and especially good for children. They
need a great deal Of it because their
bodies grow so fast.
Milk is a much cheaper food for the
body than meat.
A quart gives the same amount OF
fuel as whole pound Of lean meat
or as eight eggs Think OF the cost.
Pure milk is by far the cheapest. Let's
use more Of it, especially where there
are children in the family.
The Home Demonstration agent,
Miss Hastings, will be in Ames at
tending a conference Of the state
agents which is to be held there all

u
duty rests on all alike and it should
be counted privilege to give some-
thing from our security and comfort
to make more comfortable the nec-
essarily hard life Of our soldiers.
Investing in Liberty loan bonds is
no hardship. Although it may cause
some Inconvenience, the money is
safer than anywhere else and II 1t re-
quires some frugaNty to secure it
that 10 benefit rather than q hard
ship. But a contribution to the 10y
atty League draws no interest, It
is gift for the benefit OF our soldiers
and sailors. It Is the only way in
which we can show our appreciation
Of the unselfish spirit that animates
them and there is not q person In
Delaware county who doesn't want to
give generously for this purpose.
But unless your sentiments are
shown by your acts your good will
won't help our fighting men. It is
small thing to call at the bank and
ask to join the Liberty League. It -
a big job to call on every person in
Delaware county to ask them to join.
If each one will take care of his own
duty there will be no burden on q
few to give their time and money to
looking out for the others. Let's es-
tablish record in this county OF a
Red Cross War Fund raised without
any campaign at all. The Loyalty
League funds will pay the Red Cross
War Fund and If each one will do his
bit the fund will be raised without
hardship on anyone.

has now been set aside, and local
boards In Iowa will be obliged to call
men in class one irrespective Of their
places on the farms.

ed upon to send to Camp Dodge 1854
men. Definite quotas for each county
in the state have not been announced
but If figured on the same basis as
former contingents, Delaware county
will likely be asked to furnish thirty
men. Information is lacking as to
whether an allowance will be made
for the voluntary inducted men In
this call, but In the event that credit
will be given this number will be
slightly diminished.
In selecting the men for the May

ing in the gate department Of the Ma
tional Manufacturing company's plant,
Amasa Work, son of Mr.. and, Mrs.
Ralph Work, met, with terrible ac-
cident. and in which he lost his left
arm. It appears that the young man
Vas engaged In operating one OF the
machines, and had been having some
trouble with one OF the belts which
was driving the machine. He and
another workman were about to meas
ure the belt which was to be replaced
by new one. Mr.. Work stepped onto
Z stepladder while the other man re-
named alongsde Of the machine on the
ground fioor. The belt had been
thrown from the pulley and was rest
ing on the shaft which travels at the
rate Of two hundred revolutions. Men
working in the same department no.
ticsd Mr.. Work on the ladder and
warned him Of his danger. just how
his hand became fastened to the shaft
Il not definitely known. Some believe
that the rayelings on the old belt must
have started to wind around the
shaft, and in this way drew his right
hand against the shaft, so that the
thumb nail was torn of. NJ. Work
stated that he realized his right hand
was caught, and that he made an at
tempt to extricate his right hand by
taking hold Of the right wrist with
his left hand. As soon as he took
hold Of his right wrist, his left hand
was drawn in, and in an instant the
member was torn of just above the
wrist. The force OF the shaft carried
the young man over the shaft, and
threw him violently to the floor some
feet away, while the dismembered
hand and wrist were twisted up in
the belt on the shaft.
The young man was brought to the
family physicians Office where his
frightful injuries we're given atten-
ton. He was then taken to the home
Of his parents on East Union street.
During the first twenty-four hours at
ter the tragedy the young man suffer-
ed untold agony. At the present time
he Is resting as comfortably as could
be hoped for after having passed
through such a terrible experience.
!. About to Enter the Navy.
!. Nj. Work had enlisted as d raachin-
ist helper in the navy and was plan
ming on leaving this week for the
Great Lakes Naval Training station
at Chicago. While he was waiting
for the call to enter the training sta
tion he applied for and found em-
ployment in the factory. He Is an
Industrious boy and ready to take
hold OF any employment that is OF
fered him When his country came
to the place where it needed the SER
vices Of the young men. he answered
his country's call by enlisting In the
navy. He Is q large, sturdy and well
developed red-blooded American boy,
and would have made a fine sailor for
Uncle Sam. This unfortunate and de-
plorable accident, through which Mr.
work has been MANNED for life, Will
necessarily bar him from serving his
country in the capacity. he had hoped
for. The young man has the sympa-
thy Of his friends.
