A. G. White held a sale of Poland

The sale drew a very small crowd
and only eight head were said. $3.50
was the top price paid for a fall boar.
The eight sold for total of $477.50.

If you think the county agents don't
have much to do, just listen to what
they did during the 1917-1918 fiscal
year. There were % agents who
worked a full year. The rest of the
100 were appointed in time. to work
anywhere from one month to eleven
and half. The average was about
seven months of work. In this time,
these agents spent 10.19O days in the
field, talked to 131,472 callers at the
farm bureau office, made 3S,752 farm
visits, held 6,227 meetings attended
oy 263,329 persons. The average
agent on a year basis was in the field
L73 days, had 1882 callers, visited $50
arms, held 10S meetings, with an at
enhance of 4,476. These agents pre-
pared 5,799 articles for local papers,

subscribed in about F months time to Red Cross war work needs.
 But it was made clear that outside of the benefactions and moral, mental and physical advantages which the Red Cross work had secured another oppor- tunity for war work of high importance was offered. This was the work under taken by the Young Mems and Young Women's Christian associations. It was not to compete with Red Cross work but to supplement that work.
 George w. Perkins two or three years earlier had perfected an organization for the purpose of securing within 14 working days s4.oO0Oooo for the New York Young Mems Christian association endowment. This organization really pointed the way at least in considerable measure for the one which was later perfected by MT Davison for the Red Cross service. It was for this reason that MT. Perkins was appealed to un- dertake the leadership of a campaign which had for it's purpose the raising of s35, COG, 900 for Young Mems Christian as- sociation war work. He speedily quick ened and enlarged the earlier organiza- tion he had created, saying only to one or two friends that instead of S35,00ocvo he expected to secure at least $5O,0000, OOO His organization did within a few days obtain from the American people in the aggregate sixty odd million dol lars for Young Mems Christian assocla- tion war work.
 Here, then, within a year or 6 little over the American people gave consid- erably in excess of $500, 000,000 for Red Cross and Young Mems Christian as- sociation war work. Standing by it. self this contribution in it's relative magnitude and in the speed with which it was secured surpasses the floating Of the four Liberty Loans, for the money thus secured was an outright gltt, whereas the Liberty Loans were invest ments.
 Now these funds are practically ex- hausted There are other war work ac- tivites which stand in need of funds and as whole they represent all re- ligious denominations. These have com bined and for the first time unity of denomnational activity has been se- cured from which may flow influences that may serve hereafter to bring all of the denominations closer and closer together There are seven different or ganizatons and the amount of money which these organizations, acting in CO., operation, are now asking the American people to contribute is s250,00 ,00o MT. Perkins, John D. Rockefeller Jr., and others have created an organization and worked out plans by means of which every part of the country and every individual will be reached so that 1t is expected that within a week or 10 days after November Il the American, people will have given outright S25O,0OO,ooo, which is to be divided equitably and with proportionate justice, between these seven organizations Therefore within a year and a half, if this latest appeal ! meets with the success which is ex- pected, the American pedole will have contributed as a free will offering some what in excess of q half billion dol lars for war work benefactions

Keep the Home Fires Burning" But at the Same Time Be Just as Economical as You Possibly Can and
 Help Your Government to Win This Great World War

 So, you see it's up to you, Mrs. Thrifty Housewifev to make cleanliness next to eodliness" in your fuel conservation this winter, and I am appending some sug- gestions made by the fuel administration for the working out of tile problem for the housewives of the country who can help thei, government to win the war if they will follow the instructions;
 Give your heater it's first cleaning of the season and have 1t put in thorough repair. Broken parts mean loss of heat The fire box should be tight. Trivial cracks may be cenented.
 "Be sure there is Q check draft-damper in the smoke pipe besides the turn-dam- per. This check draft-damper is asl inn portant in controlling the rate at when the fire burns as is the throttle of an engine. Open it to check the fire. Close if to make the fire burn more rapidly. Experiment with it in the daily regula- tion of your fire. Make it do it's work. The coaling-door was not put on the heater to check the draft. If you can not check the fire without opening the coaling door, you need proper campers.
 "Stornl windows and storm doors, weather strips and such protective devices are economical of heat. Always keep two pans or open top Jars Ol lre3ll Nttel oii radiators or in front of registers to keep the air in the home moist.
 .'The water in the boiler should be completely changed at least as often as every spring and every autumn. Draw A b,lcketful of dirty water from the bot tom at least twice week and each time replenish with fresh water from the sup plv pipe. Cleanliness of water in the boiler is of prime importance.
 Avoid too much shaking. Live coals in the ash pit mean wasted fuel. Clean ash pit daily to prevent damage to grates
 "Clean the entire stove well inside. on ion of the oven and below the oven. ire ouently and thoroughly. Stoke frequent ly and in small amounts.
 "Never shake low fire until little fresh coal has been added and given time to ignite. Keep pan or kettle of water always on the kitchen stove Moist air makes for comfort, health, beauty and economy.'

 I recall the old engines worked by hand, and I can see a row of men on either side working the long handles frantically up and down, as the impor- tant chief gave his orders through his token of his efficient service as fire fighter. I was always an ambitious youngster, but never in nay widest hopes did I ever expect to rise high enough to be put at the head of the volunteer fire department.
 I remember gawky lad who came to years in practical seclusion from tha public gaze Then he joined the fire de- partment, and to him it was a career. Never was man more wrapped up in an organization. It was a signal honor to be the first man at the engine house when the call came.
 
 If we get down to bed rock whether we will admit it or not, each one of us likes to occupy the center of the stage in one capacity or another. Now my country friend stood little chance ot ever being a social favorite, a political boss, religious leader, or noted in any way whatsoever; but being fleet of feet and strong winded he saw a chance to get in the public gaze.
 He made it the ambition of his life to be always the first man at the fira department when the alarm was sound- CT, and it wasn't long before the whole town began to sit up and take notice that he was making good. It, for a long while, put him in the hero list with the small boys. My, how I used to look at rhim with envy and wonder if I would ever be able to become so distinguished.
 And then by degrees his yearnlng to make q record got to be joke. He waa clerk and many surprised customer saw him dash out in the middle of an uncompleted sale as if crazy, running

KEEPING ACCURATE ACCOUNTS

Mr. Davison caused a part of the or ganization he created to open books and keep accurate accounts which sometime 1T, the future will disclose to the last penny how this first gift of $l0o,OOO,o0o was expended.
 Some months later Mr. Davison intf- mated that 1t would be necessary to 'ask the American people for another gift of money, as much as s100, 900 more, in order to maintain the Red Cross work in this country and in Europe. He. was on the eve of his departure for Enrope, a Liberty Loan being then pending in the market, when he said that directly after this loan had been absorbed an- other appeal would be made to the American people for sloo,o00.0Oo and that there was no reason for apprehension that that call for funds would not be fully met.
 1t was met even over met. For the aggregate gifts amounted to little over one-half as much again as the $lOo, 600 OO0 called for. All of these funds have been wisely disbursed and az curate accounts of receipts and dis hursements have been kept.

 The heads of tho fuel administration have laid particular stress upon "clean- liness,'' when it comes to fuel conserva- tion, declaring that the most heat de- rived from any heater is derived from that heater which is absolutely clean.
 Do you know that one-one hundredth inch of soot has as much power to re- sist heat as 10 inches of iron? (This is no fairy tale; it's true; I read 1t in a book the other day on Fuel Conserva- tion," written by 9 man who knows). A clever simile also was drawn; thus:

SICKNESS TO BE AyERTED

Next to the sending of our boys to war, the giving of our family doctors to the battle fronts will be regarded as one of our greatest sacrifices, says Dr. Franklin H. Martin of the national council of defense Civilians at home must release American physicians for greater duties In Europe. Our boys must be protected. At the same time the health of our home citizens must not be imperiled. We have constantly, in this country, approxi- mately 9,e00.00o sickbeds nearly all the re- suit of ignorance and carelessness. One million five hundred thousand people who are now sick might have been well if each had practised the simple laws of hygiene and sanitation.
