FOOD LEoruREsS

The United States Food Ad-
ministration is sending lecturers
to Harrison County to tell the
people about conditions in France
as they saw them when there in
December last. There are to be
three of them at Missouri Valley
Saturday afternoon, February 90,
at 2 O'Clock and it is desired that
every person in the county who
can possibly do so attend these
lectures and learn first hand why
it is necessary for this country to
bend every effort TO save food.
These people will be able to tell
you many !; ings that have not
been printed in the papers re-
garding the food problem of our
Allies which we are expected TO
help relieve.
Miss Kelly, one of the lecturers
has a number of very useful re-
cipes which the house wives OF
the county will be glad to know.
Plan your affairs to enable you to
attend these lectures.
1t is hoped to be able to ar
range it so that all may hear all
three of the lecturers. They are TO
be delivered in only thirteen of
the counties in Iowa and we may
consider ourselves fortunate in
being permitted to hear them.

MoATs sRos. & CO.
ARE EXPANDING

Moats Bros. & Co. wish 10 an.
nOunce that March 1st they will
be located in their new locations
and ready to start the wheels OF
their two new breeding farms in
action. They will operate Two
herds, one known as the Shade
Land Stock Farm, located three
miles from Missouri ALLEY, the
other to be located at the Over
look Stock Farm, two blocks west
OF the court house in Logan.
Their trade has grown in 1he past
few years until it has become
necessary for them to Increase
their output. 1t becomes neces-
sary for them TO expand on all
sides; it becomes necessary for
them to stock another farm, be
lleNing that two smaller herds can
be operated more. successfully
than combined herd. They have
been in the breeding business 35
years, M. S. .Moats, the Co. Of the
firm, is now the oldest purebred
.DurOc breeder in the business,
and they know the Duroc breed
and the care and management Of
a herd from "A to q. They have
shipped Durocs to nearly every
state in the union, as far north as
Canada, and as far south as Mex
leo. They are know. and their
Durocs are advertised wherever
the DurOc is known and raised.
This fall they turned down i75
mai. orders for fall pigs. At the
end Of the bred SOW sale season
they will have sold over $50 bred
sows. We. predict that they will
not then be able to fill their de-
mand. This means that they must
espand, they must increase their
working stock to fit the occasion.
They have secured ideal building
locations for hog farms; they will
erect modern equipments.
AL the. head Of their herd stands
the great Illustrator, the cham
pion anr sire Of champions. His
assistants are Premier Model, a
$500 son of Premier Gano. He
was the second prize boar pig at
the National Swine Show this
year. Then there is Golden Chief
Model, son of Golden Model and
Cherry Chief. This fellow is a
real breeding boar and one of the
big leggy kind that breeders are
seekipg.e Then itiwas necessary
to- add another great hoar. Just
frecently they went out and bought

Last evening at 3 O'Clock at the
home OF Mr.. and Mrs. L. C. Shat
er, in the presence of. the imme-
diate relatives, was solemnized
the marriage of Miss Gertrude
Schulmeister, daughter of j. G..
Schulmeister, and Mr.. Harold Lee
Seabury, son of Mr.. and Mrs.
Frank Seabury of Pisgah, Rev.
Costello of Mondamin using the
ring ceremony of the Catholic
church.
An artistically arranged altar
had been designed in the front
parlor of smilax and Killarney
roses, and here beneath large
white wedding bell the ceremony
was performed. The bride was
charmingly gowned in an elegant
tailored suit of blue and wore a
lovely corsage bouquet.
Following congratulations
dainty refreshments were served
in the dining room by Mesdames
9. L. Hopkins and S. J.. Goldblatt.
Killarney roses and ferns formed
the table decorations and huge
bouquets of the same flowers also
adorned the different rooms.
Both these young people wero
born and raised in this county
and arc very popular among the
younger sets OF this city and Lo-
gan, where the groom graduated
a few years ago from the high
school. The bride also spent two
years away at the Sisters schools
In slnsinawa, Wis, and the Willie
de Chantel at Dubuque, and is a
most accomplished young lady.
Recently Mr.. Seabury moved with
his parents TO Pisgah, where he
will farm this coming year near
that city. After a short trip to
Nebraska the newlyweds will be
at home TO their friends after the
first of April in the city of Pis-
gah, where neatly arranged cot
tage awaits their homecoming.
The congratulations of their
large list of friends is heartily
extended for happy and pros
porous welded life.

Y Yl1lLE man plays or prays the
A/ worlds business will be in
wv terfered with on 28l days
during 1918 In other words,
there will be only 81 days in this com
Ing year that are not Sundays or spe-
cial holidays in one or more important
commercial regions of the earth.
The growth of international finance
has made the worlds aggregate OF
closed days serious fac'or and an
expensive bne. Not until now. how
ever, has any attempt been made to
compile an exhaustive list of holidays
for the guidance of bankers and mer-
chants. This task has just been com
pleted by the Guaranty Trust Com
pany of New York city. The results
have been published in booklet that
should he valuable addition to the
reference library of every bank in the
country doing more than u purely local
business.
Contrary to the popular notion, the
new democracies of the west enjoy a
greater number Of holidays than their
sister nations of the eastern hemi-
sphere. OF the 81 nations or depend
encies listed Brazil leads. with 81 holl.
days. The United States. with "a. is a
close second, although she, unlike Bra
I'll, practically ignores the church days.
Another popular delusion is shattered
when we find that France has only Is
formally observed days and Italy only
%. We had supposed the Latns al
ways outdid us in this particular
Among the other belligerents Ger.
many, 1t is presumed, will observe 20
days next year, Great Britain 16, ia.
pan 16 and Russia II. In most of these
countries numerous local holidays or.
dinarily observed have been abandoned
during the war.
The study of holidays is fascinating
to the historian. Those of our own
country offer partic llarly rich field.
One of the first surprises in store for
such a student 10 to learn that the
United States has no rational holiday

the biggest boar in the breed. This
pig is the highest priced spring
boar, in America. II was a record
price for a boar and we feel safe
in saying that he is the best boar
pig west OF the Mississippi. He
is a whale for size and is the best
son of the Great Wonder family
We predict a great future for him
in the Moats herd. In their herd
at the present time they have 60
matured sows TO farrow and 30
spring gifts. These sows are a
wonderful lot and are the real big
type kind. We know Of no other
breeder in the business lined up
like these men are. They will
hold three sales this coming sea
.son-a bred sow sale in August,
a boar sale in October, and an
other sale in January, 1919. Now
if you or anyone are after real
seed stock, don't be afraid to get
lin touch with this firm, for they
have the best blood lines known
to the breed and they have q great
type and they are doing business
along the right track. On Febru-
ary goth they invite you to look
over the great lot Of wonderful
big sows that will be doing bust
ness next year in their herd. Their
boars and their soWs will be on
