DON'T GET YELLOW CARD.
Every Person Who is Able to and
Refuses to Buy Liberty Bond
Recorded on Yellow Card.

Two colors are going to figure
prominently in this third Liberty
Loan campaign, Yellow and Pink.
Every person who is financially able
to buy a bond and who refuses, will
have his name recorded on the yell
low card-the Stacker card.
But, in the last two campaigns for
the sale of Liberty bonds, there were
many persons who slipped quietly
into their banks and made a small
purchase of Liberty bonds, when as
a matter of fact, by reason of their
financial ability, they should have
bought ten times as many bonds.
Such individuals are considered by
the Federal government as slackers,
JUS as much as are those who can
but will not buy any bonds at all.
In order to get a permanent rec
ord of persons Of this character, the
Federal Reserve Director Of Sales
for Iowa has sent to every county
chairman a supply of pink cards.
upon which the names will be re-
corued of such persons as do not do
their full duty-who do their bit
instead of their utmost.
These pink cards will be carried
by every Liberty bond salesman and
when an individual who ought to
buy a thousand dollar bond will on
ly buy fifty dollar bond, down
goes his name on the pink card.
Those cards will be handled the
same as the yellow cards-they will
be reviewed by the county chairmen
and his executive committees. The
individual will then be given anoth-
er opportunity to increase his sub
scrirtion to its proper amount, and,
failing in this, the cards will be for
warded to . the Federal gov1/nment
for such action as the Federal agents
deem proper.
Il am confident said Mr.. c. H.
McNider, Federal Reserve Director
of Sales for Iowa, today, that we
are going to have very few pink or
yellow cards turned in against the
citizens of Iowa. We have the war
spirit now and we are going to back
up the government, at least 1UU~

only take front rank in the sale of

That DEBORAH Twp. Road.

The DEBORAH township road lead
ing out from the Tayenir bridge on
the West Side out past the Blake
man farm has been the source of
much dissatisfaction for people liV-
ing out in Madison township and
that vicinity of the county, who
wish to drive to DEBORAH over this
route. A number of business men
appeared before the board of super
visors Monday and took the matter
up. AS we understand it the board
has nothing to do with this partic-
ular piece of road, as it comes un-
der the supervision of the township
trustees. At any rate something is
going to be done, as Ben Bear, who
appeared with the other business
men, will make a canvass of the
DEBORAH business men to raise 500,
s25 of which is pledged already,
and the trustees will put up 500,
and we understand number of
farmers in Madison township will
contribute some, and this road will
be put in shape right away. 1t is
imperative that it be fixed. 1t is an
important road, and large number
who transact their business in De-
corah come in over it. But they
have been growing weary OF the con-
dition of the road and have been at
the point of turning their trading
in some other direction, where the
roads are better, even If the distance
is little farther. We have had as
surance the road will be put in tip
top shape at once.

To the HOmekeepers of Winneshiek

During the week we will send out
the oat and corn meal leaflets and
1918 home cards. We will send the
food pledge cards out on the rural
routes also, because many OF you
have not had an opportunity to sign
them. We hope you will be glad to
sign them and become members OF
the United States Food Administra-
ton. They do not require postage.
We must do our very best to con-
serve wheat, especially for the sake
of the men and boys in the camps
and on the battle front, and for the
men and women who care for the
dead and wounded, and for the or
phaned and the bereaved who have
made so great sacrifice. We mas
work and contribute and buy Liber-
ty Bonds to break the cruel chains
of tyranny and despotism and there
by win victory for all time.

Another Candidate in Field.

Mr.. H. A. Hover, one of the well
known farmers of Locust has an
nounced his name this week as a
candidate for state representative
from Winneshiek county. Mr.. Hover
had been pressed for some time by
a large number of friends 20 become
a candidate, and he finally consent
ed to run. He is gentleman who is
well and favorably known over the
county, and is one of our represen-
tative farmers. That he will be CIV
en- hueral support there is no doubt.

FROM COUNTY AGENT.
Gleanings From the County Agents
Office i'm DEBORAH.
Seed Corn.

Since the spring seeding in the
county is we'll under way, farmers
are beginning to feel anxious about
their seed corn, especially those who
have not single ear tested. Farm
Iers who have not made the single
ear test of their corn should make
it point to do so during the next
few days. If you do not feel at
home in the use of the Rag Doll'
method drop into the County Agents
office or call him up over the tele-
phone. The method is simple and
effective. There is no reason for not
testing every ear of seed corn this
spring. Other methods will do just
as well provided you use them.
If your seed corn does not seem
to test 50 % strong, be sure to ear
test Il in order to weed out the
weak and dead ones. There is no
better seed corn for your farm than
the good ears in your seed lot.
Make known to the County
Agents office or through your
school district census taker, the
surplus or shortage of seed corn. AL
so the test of and quantity ~~Of
available crib corn. Do not feed crib
corn that may make some good seed
by the single ear test. The Agent
expects to visit as many such cribs
as time will permit during the next
few days that the county may be
provided with sufficient corn to
meet its normal acreage this spring.
Make reports to the office. The Of

better advantage.
Sow Wheat.
Wheat seeding is now in full pro-
gress. Winneshiek county farmers
are responding heroically in our
county to our country's call for the
sowing of spring wheat. Neverthe-
less, an occasional name comes to
this office, expressing intentions not
to SOW wheat. This call is your call.
Our country is your country. No
farmer in the county should have
anyone think that he has been a
Stacker in meeting a call which is
so easy as this, yet SO vital. Let
Winneshiek county head the list in
their response.
White Grub Demonstrations.
For three days last week we have
had the special assistance of Prof
E. V. Walter who has discussed at
eight meetings throughout the coun-
ty the white grub ravages which
have been prevalent in this county
in the past and which are likely to
occur this year. Much interest has
been manifested by the farmers
present in these meetings. We hope
the effect of these meetings will
permeate the entire county and that
farmers will take advantage of this
work like a vast number have in the
Encouragement and replanting of
their crop rotation for this year.
In general corn should not be
planted on timothy or blue grass sod
this year. Marquis wheat and some
OF the other stiff straw varieties OF
oats will do quite well on sod 'tk\t
has already been plowed.
No farmer should let his corn
acreage be reduced on account of
the white grub but should make ev-
cry attempt to meet the situation
without a reduction of corn.

Germany And The Peace Conference

In his address before the reichstag on Tuesday the
German chancellor declared that the German people must
not be brought blindly to the conference table; that they
must know what the terms of peace proposed would mean
for them.
There will be a peace conference. Possibly that con-
Ference 70 in session. It may be that representatives of
the Allies are already busy giving form to the details by
which the approved principles of International conduct
ara to be given effect. But whether such a conference

And he reached the porch and rang

The butler softened a trife in

There was nothing for it but to

came slowly down the steps, bordering
the matter with increasing anxiety. If
Eve had really gone out at the hour
of their appointment, as seemed GER
tain, then either she had met with a
serious accident or she had deliber-
ately chosen to ignore their meeting!
Whichever the case, it was nc joking
matter, but a terribly serious one, and
called for immediate action. At the
foot of the steps he halted, doubtful
what move to make next. And on the
instant as he hesitated. around the
corner came Eve, the little dog trot-
ting at her heels!
With a cry of delighted greeting he
was beside her, the pain gone from his
heart and pleasure wipihE, out the

was enough for him!

As SHOWN inathe apparent assumption that whenever Ger
many proposes a compromise she is about to be granted
what she asks. The assumption is not warranted. On
the contrary. 1t Is exploded and obliterated by the entire
history Of the past four years. For four years Germany
has been proposing compromise to the United states. In
mot a single instance has. there been compromise, and In
not a single instance has willingness to compromise been
limited at by any person speaking with authority for the
United States government or for any Of the nations. orig
mai participants in the war, and with which the United
States has later become associated.
In his Fourth ofJuly address at Mount Vernon. Pres
|ident Wilson said: II n
There can be but one issue. The settlement must
be final. There can be no compromise. No halfway
decision would be tolerable: no halfway decision ID =
conceivable
Those words were uttered when Germany appeared
to be at the high tide of military success. The March Of
fensive had not yet spent itself. It was yet possible for
the Germans to make progress on the road to Paris, and
to menace the Allied armies with separation and defeat
in detail. Since then the tide has turned. The Germans
have been driven back. By every act, by every admission
which is to be read into each of their overtures for peaca
they are acknowledging that their cause is hopeless. And,
Just as there was, on our part. no suggestion of compro-
mise at the time when the situation was as greatly m
doubt as it ever was. so there has been no recession from,
that attitude now. when the necessary and lawful fruits
OF victory are, IL noe quite within our grasp, at least dem.
1onstrably attainable.

of final victory. King George Of England made mention
Of specific issues on which his nation, and ours and all OIL,
associates are, and have been, determined that there shall
be no compromise. Addressing particularly the repre-

Victory is within our reach. Z. And we are all
agreed that 1t must be a complete victory. I c6nerat- 81

guarded by those Alpine SHOWS where your valiant
soldiers have won such glory-regions inhabited by
men of your own race and speech, who have long de-
sired to be united to free Italy.
And I congratulate you. senators and deputies of
France, on the approaching restoration of provinces
torn from you, ~ years ago. which have never waver-
ed IN their loving attachment to France.
Whatever form OF words diplomatic interchanges NAV

changes, we may rest assured that the compromise is no,

Germany. '
