The following was sent out to the
daily press from Washington, d. G.
and gives us a line on what will be
come of the pacifist who would rath
err work than fight:
Cali conscientious DIRECTORS at Camp
Dodge are to be sent to the farm OF
William F. Adams at 'Odebolt, in Sac
county, under an agreement reached
today by Assistant Secretary of War
Keppel and Mr.. Adams. The arrange
ment is believed by Secretary Keppel
| to offer solution OF the difficulties
met when the government sought to
furlough the pacifst draftees out to
farms, the plan having just recently
resulted in open ruptures between ir'
ate farmers and some of the anti-war
disciples because Of the resentment
felt by the farmers, many OF whose
sons are now with the fighting forces
of Iowa in France. Secretary Keppel
said that Mr.. Adams had informed him
today that he had great difficulty get
ting men as farm hands and that he
would see that the conscientious. OBJ.
jectors sent to his farm would be
given proper but not luxurious ac.
commodations" He said he would
endeavor to give them any religious
consolation they wanted, but that he
also would see that they earned their
soldier salary of $50 month. Sever
al complaints have been received at
the war department from Iowa farm
ers against furloughing the conscien-
tious directors and Secretary Keppel
* nh h "
Adams as solution to the knOtty
question. Orders have gone forward
to the commanding officer at Camp
Dodge to send his recalcitrant draf-
tees to Adams farm on furlough."
For many years, P. H. Sheridan has
been raising Chester White swine. He
has shown them at the leading stock
shows and has brought home numer-
Gus ribbons. He has always disposed
of his surplus stock at private sale,
but this year decided to sell the bunch
in one day. His sale will be the first
to be held in the new sale pavilion
just built in the town of Vail. The
following stock will be sold: IA spring
boars, IA fall boars; 2 yearling boars;
5 fall gifts and spring gifts. The
spring boars and gifts were sired by
American Pioneer, a prize winner at
the great National Swine show in
1917. Grandmaster LIST, Shearer's
Choice and Mammoth King. The 9TH
ers in the offering were sired by
White Wonder and he by Forquhar's
Best, White Luster, by Little Style,
whose sire was first at Illinois State
fair. There are number OF out
standing fall boars in this offering
and expect to see them go like hot
cakes on a frosty morning. This be-
ing Mr.. Sheridan's first sale, he de-
cided to pick from the top of his
herd, and will sell many that really
should be kept right in his own herd.
He is doing this as special attrac-
ton and those attending the sale will
make selection from the cream of
the Sheridan herd. Sale will start
at two o'clock, Tuesday afternoon,
October Sth.
DR.. L. M. Coon invited me to &C
him to his Paradise township
farm Friday afternoon and gladly
accepted the invitation. After max
ing the trip / shook hands with my
self for having made the trip. The
dear doctor owns the north half of
section fourteen of Paradise township,
also another well improved farm in
the vicinity of Dow City. The Para
disc township farm is managed by
Hansen Bros, who have a half inter
est in the crops and livestock. Sew
eral building improvements have been
made and more are contemplated.
When the improvements are all made
it will be an ideal stock and dairy
farm. A hollow tile silo 14x4O has
just been competed and work is pro-
crossing nicely on large sunlit hog
house. 1t will be 24x45 and is being
made of hollow tile brick. The floor
