WATCH POSLAM
SUBDUE AND HEAL
WORST ECZEMA

Every Eczema sufferer should know
just how greatly Poslam is able to ben
eft this stubborn trouble; how quickly
1t brings relief, stops itching; cools,
soothes and comforts. To spread Pos
lam over an angry, affected surface is
TO feel that here, in reality, is just the
healing influence the skin demands.
Treatment is usually surprisingly short
and improvement noticed every day.
Poslam is harmless; use it for Pimples,
Rashes and all eruptional disorders.
Sold everywhere. For free sample
write to Emergency Laboratories, 243
West 47th St, New York City.
Urge your skin to become fresher,
clearer, better by the daily use of Pos
lam soap, indicated with Poslam.

Property Questionaires Sent Out.

The organization in charge of the
next Liberty Loan sale, with the
cooperation of the government, have
sent to every taxpayer a card to be
filled out aid returned not later than
March 9th. Previous Liberty Bond
sales have uncovered slackers-men
who either purchased no bonds or in
ridiculously small amounts when they
were able to buy bonds of large denomin-
ations, and this system has been devised
to prevent the men of means from
shirking their obligations to their
country, but no one will be obliged to
buy bonds beyond their means. =
These cards will later be placed i4
the hands of the solicitors who will
have with them two other styles Of
cards-one pink and one blue-one of
which will be filled out for each indi.

An Error Rixhted.

In the notice in our last issue as
regards basket social that is to be
given tonight, the 22nd, in the school
house in which Clara Parchman is the
teacher, we are informed there were
errors in the notice that was given to
US and that it should have read that
the social will be given in the Miles
Henry school house where she teaches
which is miles south of Crescc, and
that ALL of the proceeds are to be
given to the Red Cross.

Proceeds Will Reach $1,000.

d The people of Cresco and vicinity
participated in the Red Cross Auction
Sale last Saturday with the feeling
and determination to make it big
success, and when such a spirit is
4 prevalent, success is always attained.
Early in the morning the streets were
filled with people bringing their dona-
tons for sale and dinner. and early in
the forenoon, Auctioneer Dan Conway
commenced the sale with patriotic
address concerning which many said
that it was the best and most forceful
talk given in Cresco since the war. He
commenced the sale with the assist
ance Of aucticneer H. O. Brooks but
owing to the vast amount of donations,
later in the day the services of two
other auctioneers, Grant Walker and
John Svoboda. were enlisted. and Bert
Woodward and Leonard Baldner did
some amateur work along that line.
Many articles were sold and resold.
A trio Of bantams in this manner
brought nearly 5000 before they were
finally sold. Almost 1T the last mo-
ment, small American flag was put
up for sale and sold and resold for
amounts from 81 to $50 until over s1OO
was totalled. 1t was finally presented
to Hulda Roth. sister of Paul Roth,
the first boy from Howard county to
make the supreme sacrifice in the pre g.
ent war. ,a. ~
A newly laid egg found in one of the
coops of chickens on sale was sold and
resold for total of $22. Il
The largest amount realized from
any single sale was $3.50 paid for COW,
and this sale was closely approached by
the sale of horse given by John Luu.
dak for which $3.50 was paid.
Nearly every thing donated was dis
posed of except large amount of DO
tatoes, and those were disposed of
Monday at private sale bringing in over
$500. -
In addition to the receipts of the |
sale, money is still coming in from
people who consider that they did not
do all they could or should in patroniz-
ing the sale. One contribution alone
was for 500, another handed in 4 /
check for $40. and so on. The Chapter
feel that there is still plenty Of oppor-
tunity for more contributions from
those who feel that they should do
more for the Red Cross. and will be !.
Rtad to receive further mpney dona-
tiOns.

Can't Agree On a Candidate.

l. NJ. Enger was up from Deccrat
Monday, looking after his interests il
the primary race for the congressional
nomination by the republicans Of the
4th District.
The Times says HE made it clear
that he was candidate in his own
right and that he was not in the race
merely to beat Haugen. Neverthe-
less Mr.. Enger participated in q con.
ference at New Hampton last week
whore an effort was made to bring out
q candidate who could beat Haugen.
Enger, Shaffer, Of New Hampton, and
others were considered but were not
thought strong enough to defeat
Haugen and an adjournment was taken
to later date while an effort was
made to enlist Rule or McNider Of
Mason City. ~ ~.
The New Hampton Tribune writes up
the conference As follows: The meet
ing was very hostile to Mr.. Haugen
who many republicans as we'll as demo-
Gratis think has misrepresented the dis
trict. Some republicans even accuse
him of disloyalty in his war attitude.
In the minds of many he has fai'ed to
support the flag and country in the aw-
full war by his failure to support the
measures which were for the country's,
good. Real red hot speeches were
made by many fellows present.
The republicans of the Fourth Dis
trict will hold another meeting here
Friday, March 22nd for the purpose of
selecting some good strong loyal citi-
zen to oppose Mr.. Haugen in the pri-
mary.
If Haugen cannot be defeated at the
primary, the republicans who for so
long have felt that this district is mis-
represented in Congress can help the
by supporting the democratic

Sunday, and in accordance with its pro-
visions all the clocks will the evening
previous be set ahead one hour, so of

close of the regular working day. As

FRENCH LAUNDRIES ARE FINE

Clothes Back.

New YOrk.-"French village laun-
dries are wonderful places to the
American soldiers" writes r. ]. Kirk,
a former Pacific Coast newspaper man
now doing duty over there, to an old
time friend here.
"In fact, every French hamlet has
municipal washhouse," he continues.
ut is generally stone shed built over
running stream. Here the old
French widows wash the American
soldiers clothes. Soldiers are sup
posed to wash their own clothes, but
not many of them do it unless it is a
long way from payday, or else they're
leaving most of their francs with the
paymaster in the shape of Liberty
Bonds, wives allotments or similar
payments.
$50 most of the 'soldats Americana
let the old French women do their
laundry. They do it good enough and
cheap enough, but getting back what
the soldier sent there to have washed
is another problem. The old ladies
take the socks, olive drab shirts and
underwear of half company, sOuse
them all together in a creek, drag them
out, hit them with a paddle on the
wooden horses, then pile them and
tell the soldiers to come and get them.
