URGES LENTEN CONSERVATION
Archbishop Keane Promulgates
Rules For Catholics of Archdiocese
Dubuque.

Archbishop J. j. Keane. in pro-
mitigating the Lenten regulations
that will govern the Catholics of the
archdiocese of Dubuque, lays par
ticular stress upon the need for
conservation of fuel and foodstuffs.
The pastors of the various churches
are empowered, under the new rules
to dispense with the mid-week SER
vices in order to save fuel and the
laity are exorted to get on as far
as possible without articles of food
which are most easily transported. :"
In the main there are few chan
ges in the regulations of Lent this
year from those that governed last
year.
Those parts of the regulations
dealing with the conservation of
fuel and food follow:
I'VE hope that the customary
two weekday evening services may
lie held as in the past. However,
we must be considerate of the de-
mands of the government for the
saving Of fuel. And if, because of
weather conditions, tie extra SER
vice should call for large consum-
rt'on Of coal. Rev. pastors may sus-
pend such services, and the faith
full may provide helpful and timely
devotions in their homes on such
evenings.
Finally, j exort you, brethren,
to conserve food. Let there be alb
solutely no waste. The millions of
starving poor in Europe would, we
are credibly informed, exchange
their supply for what we waste.
Get on as far as possible without
the articles of food which are most
easily exported wheat, flour, fats,
and beef. Without any possible in
jury to health and without much in
convenience we can get on with
much less of these foods than we
have been using. The hungry chill
dren and women and old men of the
old countries are crying to us to
save that they may have a little"

Sir William GoOde Says Few PeO-
pie Grasp the Fact That Great
Britain Still Relics on United
States and Canada for So
Per Cent of Her Food
stuffs
AMERICAN PEOPLE ARE
SACRIFICING FOR THEIR ALLIES
People of America are Behind Mr.
Hoover and Will Save Food So
That the Allies May Live
to Fight

London, Feb. 13.-Sir William
Goode, who since the entry of the
United States into the war has oc-
cupied tine important post of liaison
officer between the British food min
istry and the United States food
administration, discussed the pres
ent food situation il an address last
week to the London Rotary Club.
Few people, said Sir William,
'have yet grasped the fundamental
fact that Great Britain still relies
on the United States AID Canada
for 65 per cent of her essential food
stuffs Unless we can get this food
or nearly all of it we shall peter
out AS to how we get it the popu-
lar idea seems to be that the United
States is al up-to-date combination
of miracale loaves and fishes and
widows crust.
the amazing way in which the ener-
gies and sentiments of the Ameri-
can people have been harnessed to
a great national movement of or
ganized self-sacrifice, so that the
allies can have food enough to carry
on" He proceeded to give a detail
ed account of the steps taken by
the United States toward food pro-
duction and conservation.
'The cynic will tell you" he said,
that it is ridiculous to imagine the
American people living in the midst
of plenty, will make such sacrifices
as these for the sake of their allies
thousands of miles away. The cynic
will relegate President Wilson and
Herbert G.. Hoover to the category
of well meaning idealsts.
But these voluntary measures
can be tested by results. Early last
month we received from Mr.. Hoover
a cablegram saying he found that
as a result of the American conser-
walton campaign he had had $780,
100000 pounds of bacon and 49,
100000 pounds of frozen meat more
than the British representatives in
the United States had estimated as
likely to be available.
His offer was so unexpected that
we had to hustle to get finance and
shipping for this winter and fall.
Later it turned out that the frozen
meat available was thousands of
tons above the Hoover estimate
Except for the hold-up of shipping
in American ports, due to congestion
on the railways and billiards., our
bacon and meat shortage would long
since have been eased by these ship
ments, which represent only a small
percentage OF the total sacrifices of
the American people.
1T is lucky for us that man like
Mr.. Hoover is at the helm of the
allied food supply and that behind
him is people willing to deny them
selves SO we may live to fight"

Was a Pathetic Case.

A pathetic case was before the in
sanity commissioners Fhursday at
Independence. 1t was of a young
man living near this city. He had
been before the local exemption
board a few days before and passed
fine physical examination. Later
worry over the war affected his mind
and he was taken before the com
missioners and taken to the Hospi'
al for treatment He created much
excitement at the county clerks
office. 1t is thought that his case
is one of temporary insanity.

CITY BUYS FINE CHEMICAL
ENGINE.
Usage Soon to Hove Modern Fire
Fighting Equipment.

The best thing the city dads did
at Eleir regular monthly session
Monday evening, was the purchase
of modern chemical engine for fire
fighting purposes. 1t is Of the Amer
lea LaFrance make and it will carry
ten men, if necessary. 1t also car
ries 1000 feet of water hose, 20
foot extension ladder, twelve foot
roof ladder, besides the tank for
forty gallons capacity for the chem
icals and all other necessary equip
ment, there being 200 feet of chem
ical hose.
With this new equipment it will
be much easier to get to the fires, as
all that is necessary is to crank the
engine and start. Just how import
ant such piece of fire fighting
equipment this is, may be realized
when you know that over ninety pei
cent of the fires are eXtinguished by
this method, and this without the
damage usually done by water. NJ
doubt it will save its cost in the frs
few fires at which it is used.
The engine and apparatus are
mounted on the well-known Smith
Forms Truck. The manufacturer
were unable to promise delivery IL
less than forty-five days. - Osag'

KAISER INTERVIEWS THE DEVIL
Satan Stopped His PrOdding Just
to Hear What Bill Would Say.

The kaiser met the devil in al
agitated way, and the devil stopped
his prodding just to hear what Bill
would say.
Bill approached him quite contri-
tely, for he wanted something done;
he would make his last endeavor to
enlist him with the Hun.
So he said, 'My good satan, I'm
in trouble, I'm afraidif we do not
work together, sure as hell my
grave is made have worried and
I've wondered and the Huns stand
in d,smay, when they hear the pre-
paraton over il the U. S. A.
II mad thought that Colt was with
me- but of late He's hard as bone,
SO I've come for your assistance and
we'll GUST Him from His throne
Now dear Satan, won't you help me?
We're team that would work we'll
and when the awful war is over We'll
own heaven, earth and hell.
Il surely am disguised with the
Colt up in the skies, instead of help
ing me, He's helping the allies.
Just SAY tne word and I'll abide;
you come along, but I'll decide; and
tonight at just eleven, I'll call out
a string of Zeppelins and we'll make
raid on heaven"
All this while old satan wonder
ed, scratched his head and then he
pondered When he found his equi-
!ibrium after Bill had gotten through
he addressed Bill Hohenzollern in
these words severe but true.
You're dirty, lowbrow migrate;
you're the worst | ever knew; you're
dippy, talking flighty, and to win
your greatest blu1der you would
wreck your God Almighty.
you for years have had notion
that you had a regular call, and
some day you'd rule in heaven, but,
oh, Bill, you'll get fall. And
this fall is not far distant; it is COM
ing sure as hell, for the allies have
your measure and they'll fix you
good and we'll.
you have stopped to the lowest
level; you have broken every rule;
all the world is now against you,
you're a big jackass fool.
Il don't like your talk or methods;
I'm the Devil, that is true, but
you've wrecked and butchered mil
lions, and l have no use for you.
Look at Belgium, poor bleeding
Belgium look at France, and Eng
Land too; all because you had no
ton that the world you could sub
due.
For Furnishing, I've a reputation,
but I've watched you all the while;
and for downright emery meanness
you have the devil skinned mile.
'All the fire and the birthstone,
all the groans and shrieks of hell,
you have equaled and surpassed
them and you know it mighty we'll.
you'll not finish what you've star
ted; the Hohenzollern family and
throne will soon be parted.
You heard from President Will
son. He told you what he'd do, but |
YOU thought he was Only bluffing, |
low you know he's coming through. !
Over there they're training soldiers, |
md oh, my God, how they can fight! |
they'll get your dirty carcass be-
cause they're fighting for the right.
when the bugle call is sounded, |
you will have no time to pray, for
they're coming on il millions and |
hey hail from U. s. A."

utatioa this firm has enjoyed for
forty-three years, namely, cloth
ing of quality at lowest prices. The
fact is, no matter how much advance
there may be, we will not substitute
poor goods, and are determined to
buy a1d sell our customers only
such quality that we know will wear.
In fact, in buying suits and other
goods, quality with me is always first
consideration. | have worked every
minute while east, ald make this
statement, that our goods will be
strictly UP to the minute, that our
prices are guaranteed as low as any
other merchants in America, no mat
ter where located. q People will want
clothing, and it occurs to me that
NOW, more than ever, it pays to
trade with a merchant of known
reputation for strictly Square Deal
ing. 1t has never been the policy
of this store ito charge all we can, -
but on the contrary, to sell goods at
such reasonable prices that custom
ers will not only continue to trade at
this store, but will recommend the

the best place to "tie to" in this part

lieve We can please all. AS further
