COMBINATION SALE.

Those who attended the Combination
Sale at the fair ground last Saturday,
were little disappointed in the show
ing of livestock However. the sale
was quite successful in spite of the
various drowbacks.
This is a new proposition and peo-
pie have to be educated into it's pur-
pose the same as with any other move
ment. The splendid cooperation
which was in evidence from various
parts of the county indicate that there
is a great future for the combination
sale.
In the future the livestock listed for
combination sales will be secured far
enough in advance so that buyers will
know exactly what to look for. In ad-
dition some provision will be made to
insure that all livestock listed will be
brought to the sale. This last factor
is partly responsible for the apparent
small showing at the sale. There was
a total of q head of cattle, 20 head of
sheep, IA horses and 63 hogs listed for
the sale. If buyers are to be secured
for any article they must be assured
that the article will be there for them.
: A good many inquiries have been
made already in regard to the next
combination sale which is to be sched-
uled in February This sale will be
for the distribution of breeding ami
mails, more especially swine. Partic-
ulars of this sale will be published
later.

w. s. s. DRIVE MEETING WITH
SUCCESS.

The War Savings Stamp drive is be-
ing pushed to successful issue in
Delaware county, and if every citizen
will come forward and take his or her
full share of stamps, according to
their means, the county will go over
the top. The local committee has been
having the assistance of men from out
side of the county to make adjust
ments and impress upon the people the
necessity for meeting the quota. Iowa
has always met every obligation that
the government has asked in the past,
and she will meet her full quota in
the War Savings stamps. In another
column, H. NJ Gaines, director of War
Savings societies, makes an appeal to
the people of the county to do their
full share in the matter of raising the
county's quota.

mitted to enter into that realm that
knows not pain or sorrow.

NEED MORE EGGS.

Federal Food Administrator J. F.
Deems announces that an urgent ne
cessity exists for q large output of
eggs this winter. Storage stocks are
81 per cent less than a year ago and
are rapidly being consumed.
The United States must share its
egg output and its storage eggs with
Europe.
Importation of Chinese dried eggs
stopped in February, 1918, and bakers
are now using shell eggs. thus adding
to demand.
Every farm poultry house in the
United States should be made busy
egg factory this winter" Consult the
state experiment station or the u. S.
Department of Agriculture for best
methods, your County Food Admins
traitor and your County Agent.
"The needed increased output of
fresh eggs this winter is challenge
to the skill and resourcefulness of ev-
cry farmer and poultrynan.
Even with maximum production,
conditions point to profitable returns
for every fresh egg marketed"
At a meeting held in Chicago last
week, it was decided that the price OF
hogs for January shall be continued
on the same basis as in November and
December.
We must continue "a, send the IT,
600, 900 tons on food to our big Allies
Including England, France and Italy
with population Of 126 100000 which
the United States has promised to
send.
In northern Russia there are 100000
900 starving people. Their govern
ment and their transportation are in
chaos. They are without hope or help
from the outside before the next har-
vest.
Must Save to Keep Nations Alive.
Argentine. India, Australia, and
Canada will also draw on their stores
and give from their savings, but the
resources of the United States are so
much greater that our people will
play the leading part in relieving the
necessities of the upwards of zoe, ,000,-
600 people, in addition to those we are
already pledged to serve" These
words are Mr.. HoOver's.
We have been saving food to win the
war, we must save it to keep nations
alive that they may know happiness
and prosper in the new era from which
war is to be banished.
What Americans are asked to do in
dividually is to get along with enough
to nourish them, conscientiously to
keep a frugal table, to submit cheer
fully to the regulations Of the Food
in other words, to
forgo the superfuous that millions of
fellow human beings shall have bread,
if no more, to sustain life.

A PITlFUL CASE.

Roy Parson, who has been employed
at various times by Luke Scanlon,
west of Manchester, suffeSed mental
collapse, and was sent to the hospital
at independence this afternoon. The
boy was sent to the County Home last
week, and Tuesday night he ran away
from the place. He walked from the
County Home to Oneida, following the
Milwaukee tracks, and from Oneida
to the Frank Sly farm north of Man
chester. He made this trip in his bare
feet, and when he was discovered his
feet were in terribly mutilated con-
dition. He claims that he ran all of
the way, and judging from the condi-
ton of his feet, the commissioners of
insane are inclined to believe that he
did so.

assembly rooms.
In one end of the building is
theatre, which has seating capacity

elaborate

OVER THE TOP LAST DAY OF WAR.

OVER THE TOP LAST DAY OF WAR.
Delaware county boys were in the
thick of the fight up to the last days
of the great conflict on the western
front, according to information con-
veyed in letter which H. C. Hermann
received from his brother, John E.
Hermann. Private Hermann, of Man
chester, Roy Hunt, of Earlville, and
Ferdinand Dierchsen, of near Man
chester, all left for the training camp
last February. and have been in the
same Division throughout the con-
flict. On the 10th of November the
companies in which these boys are
went lover the top" going through
some fierce shell and rifle fire. Their
relatives and friends were greatly re-
lieved when word came that all three
came out of the oonnict without
wounds. We take the following para
graphs from Private Hermann's let
ter: T. .. -~e".,+
Somewhere in France, Nov. IA, 1918.
1--WE are feeling pretty gay over
here right now, especially since Mon
day noon, November 18th, when all
fighting ceased. It does not seem pos
sible that it could stop so suddenly.
Just think, we went "over the top the
morning before, at daybreak, and here
/ am without scratch and in good
health. Our company was in some
pretty hot fighting and under she'll
fire that morning, and not the slight
est idea that peace was so near. 1
will never forget that Sunday morn
ing, when bullets and whizbangs, and
shells were flying in every direction.
thinking every minute that the next
bullet was aimed for me. Well, feel
thankful for being so lucky and from
now on you won't have to worry about
me.
1--WE moved back quite ways from
where we did the fighting, and are
now in a town which was not ruined
much, and it surely looks good to see
a town that is not all fiat on the
ground and in ruins. The civilians
are now moving back into their homes
sagain in this town and are feeling
pretty good. We surely spent some
miserable days and nights during the
last week. I am glad we don't have
to be in the trenches this winter. 1t
has been pretty cold and rainy lately.
"It surely seems strange to see
lights at night, and to see headlights
going full blast on autos. Everything
was dark before the armistice was
signed. Here I am sitting in this
building, with board across my Knee
for writing desk, and writing this
letter by the light of a candle. We
are all tired out, but have reasons for
being that way after going through
what we did lately.
Roy Hunt is o. X. and so is Ferdi-
nand Dierchsen. I did not see Ferdi-
nand lately but one of the boys from
the company did and he asked about
me. I am glad he is O. X.
