UnpatriOtic Talker Thrown Into
Dough Bin.

Because of alleged pro-German ut
terances, William Priss, 81 years
old, a registered German, was
thrown head first into a dough bin
at Salt Lake City, Utah bakery by
two Americans Thursday, according
to story told the police by Priss.
The German added that while he
was nearly smothered in dough the
men fired several shots at his feet
but failed to strike them. The police
following the complaint, stated that
Priss had been extremely pro-Ger-
man in his remarks several months
ago but that recently he had ac-
quired caution. Priss came to the
United States several years ago. He
has a brother fighting in the German
army, according to the police.

Killed i'm Unusual Manner.

Centerville, April 15.-Joe Stew
ems, the 9-year-old son of Mr.. and
Mrs. George Stevens, residing about
five or six miles northeast of Cen
terville on the Earl Hiatt farm, was
killed yesterday afternoon when the
horse he was riding became fright
ened at an approaching automobile,
throwing the boy directly in front of
the machine which could not be
stopped in time to avoid running
over him. 1t seems that the little
fellow had started to the home OF
his grandfather, Theodore Stevens,
who resides two miles from the Geo
Stevens home. Near the Marshall
White and Will Powers home he was
meeting a car, and as the horse was
apparently gentle he was almost to
it when the animal suddenly lunged
and threw him off, just in front OF
the car.

TO THE PEOPLE OF WINNIE
SHIEK COUNTY.

We do not want repetition OF
the shortage of coal during the win
ter of 1918 and 1919 such as we
have had in 1917 if we can avoid
it, AS the Coal-Fuel Committee of
W inneshiek county we ask all the
people of the county to buy and
store their coal as early as possible
during the summer. Failure to do
so will unquestionably bring hard
ship the coming winter. There is
no reason for anyone to delay or
dering coal at this time on the
theory that the price of coal will be
cheaper next fall and winter, as the
Fuel Administration has settled the
question of coal prices.
Placing orders early will keep
the mines running at the capacity
during the summer, and will help
greatly in transportation of every
kind the coming fall and winter.
The fuel question is one of the seri-
Gus problems the government has to
contend with, and foresight, as well
as cooperation, is needed to enable
the government to solve it. Iowa's
State Fuel Administrator, Webster,
is prepared to help the public to
the limit of his ability in procuring
coal, and your committee is ready
to give all the assistance possible.

APPEAL FROM DIRECTOR
McNIDER.
Special Appeal Made by the Director
Third Liberty Loan for Iowa.

"The Third Liberty Loan call is
for three billions of dollars. This is
much less than had been expected
and the organizations are keyed up
to a much larger subscription.
1T is indicated from Washington
that the over subscription will be
retained and bonds will be issued
for same. This makes the question
indefinite as to the amount we
should raise in Iowa and in each
county in the state. We feel it i'm
portant that the subscriptions be
made as large as possible. We are
on a competitive basis-a different
situation than in the previous cam
paigns. We know the government
wants every cent it can raise and
Iowa must raise all it possibly can
at this time. Competition is always
healthful and it is the earnest de-
sire of the government that each
county compete with it's neighbor in
this great work of raising money
for the Governments activities.
1--WE know that Iowa is going to
be in the front rank and We are
sure, with the organization that has
been built up, we are going to place
our state far beyond criticism and
in line for congratulation. Do not
stop with the quota. That is the
minimum amount the government
must have. Let us go far beyond
it. The task is not light nor easy
but l am sure the wonderful spirit
and great ability of Iowa will enable
we are ready for any call that they

Shortage Was on Books.

Some peculiar things come under
the observation of the state audi
tor in connection with examinations
of the books of county officials says
the Des Moines Register.
Some time ago a county auditor
was found short" said State Audi
tor Shaw, ito the amount of $3.50.
He went out and borrowed the
amount of friend to make the
shortage good. No sooner was the
examiner out Of town than this au-
ditor drew a check as county audi
tor for $576 to reimburse his friend,
and when our examiner again exam
ined his books, there was the short
age once more.'
That auditor is now looking for
job Mr.. Shaw says.

Don't Let Your skebtacism Keep You
Riding a Hobby Centuries Old.

Here is a principle, the philosophy
of which is 1000 perfect, and
works wonders when scientifically
applied.
The brain is a dynamo generating
life, or human electricity. The spine
is the switch board, and the spinal
nerves act as connecting wires,
which Tin healthy carry or Tin di-
sease) fail to carry the life force to
all parts of the body.
A chiropractor is the operator,
manipulating the switch board; so
