VIII be three signs of this type, one
indicating dangerous curve, the
other dangerous hill, and the third
railroad crossing.
At the approaches to school houses,

The object in placing the names of
the county highway commissioners on
the comty-line signs and the patrol
men on the patrol section signs is to
to enabIe the public to know who is
charge of that section of the road and
on whom the possibility rests. The
patrolmen will wear a metal badge on
their hats numbered the same as the
patrol section they are in charge of.
1t is expected that the work of
putting out these signs and
markers will begin Nav 1st and
be completed July LIST.

NEWS OF CAMP GRANT
Villas County's Boys Mix Up
With the Long cared Fra
ternity.

camp Grant, ILL.,, March1o-Despite
the circus performances of the mon
strous, efficient, high-powered truck, S
the ultra modern army still clings to
the much maligned mule In fact,
he is indispensable, stepping in where
motors dare not tread.
Many are the farmer boys who said
Goodbye mule, with your old hee
haw," got into the army only to say
"hello" to it, In the Three Hundred
Forty First Infantry WISCONSIN
Eagles) there are 32l mules with 321
dispositions. AS far as knowing how
to get their loads along the road,
most of them are wiser than the men
who drive them. They are quick to
understand men and the hardest job
OF the lieutenant in charge of the cor
rails is to find men who understand
mules.
The experienced mule SINNERS in
the Supply company OF the 341st In
fantry spent several days selecting
their teams. They sat on the corral
fence and watched the mules pair off,
choosing their outfits from those that
were chummy
"Mules that can't get along out of
harness can't get along in it," is the
way Private Samuel Appling of Mem
phis, Tenn, expressed it.
The mules bear the names of sweet
hearts, friends, prominent MEN and
women, etc. The extraction the
,smovies" have for the skinner is
reflected in names given eleven of the
long cared ones The corral holds
such luminaries as Theda Bara,
Charlie Chaplin, Elsie Fergson, Mary
Pickford, Billie Burke, Marguerite
Clarke, Fatty Arbuckle, Douglas Fair
banks, Bill Hart and Francis Bush
man.
Mary Pickford may not register
pleasure" if she reads this, but then
a woman with so much looks ought
to endure it. And, too, this is an
army mule, and her patriotism should
prevent her from pouting about it.
The competition between the stars
of the vertical stage cannot be keener
than it is among the mules. Their
fights and frOlics are worth a half
hour of discomfort on the rail fence
any time. Their efforts in the traces
have made them famous in wars gone
by. What they have done in the
gumbo of Camp Grant leaves no I'M
certainity.as to their performances in
in the mud of France.
IF the army is as good as its mules,
goodnight Fritz" is the opinion of
Corral Sergeant Oliver Grice, Darden,
Tennessee.
The troubles of the new boy in
school are nothing to those of strange
mules in the corral. Each must pass
in review and if he meets the disa-
proval of any of the old timers he
must fight his way to their respect or
forever be a social outcast.
Cinderella was not more finicky
about getting her feet wet than the
army mule but in the traces he will
90 anywhere. You never see mule
gnawing at the door of stable in
which there is no grain. ''Horse
sense" isn't in it in comparison.
Many persons say: ''You can never
trust a mule" Mules have the same
idea about a great many persons and
the mule skinner who has cared for
four of them for any length of time
is off the horses for life.

AN AUGUST CONCEPTION.

Samuel Taylor Coleridge, poet and
essayist, writing some rs years ago,
said: 4a
"The possible destiny Of the Uni
ted States of America as nation of
hundred million Of free men,
stretching from the Atlantic to the
Pacific, living under the laws Of AL
fred and speaking the language of
Shakespeare and Milton, is an august
conception"
The United States is now a nation
of a hundred million and more,
stretching from the Atlantic to the
Pacific, and reaching out east takes
north Alaska, and in the south the
Panama Canal. But grander than its
physical is it's moral greatness. Its
fairnes sand justice, its courage and
it's powr, its maintnance of right
and freedom cover the world.
The destiny abe United States is
now fulfilling, in a more august con-
ception than even the imagination of
the author of KGhla Khan conceived
of less than century ago.

WAR FINANCCE CORPORATION
AIDS FARMERS.

In compliance with telegraphed in
structions from Secretary McAdoo,
the War Finance Corporation has
wired Federal reserve banks at Dali
las, Kansas City and Minneapolis to
notify banks and trust companies in
their respective districts, nonmembers
as well as members of the Federal
Reserve System, of the willingness of
the corporation to make advances to
those financial institutions which had
made loans to farmers and cattle
men.
Drouths in these districts are Gre
ating serious condition for the far
mers and this action is taken to re-
lieve the situation.
Secretary McAdoo stated that no
industry was more vital to the war
than raising wheat, corn, live stock,
and other food products, and that
the banks should make loans on the
notes of farmers, since they are en-
gagged in an industry not only neces-
sary and contributory to the winning
Of the war but vital to it.

From the battle fields in France
there comes an unspoken coll that
should find an answer in every Amer
ican's heart. The recent great events
in Europe, the success of American
arms on the fields in France should
spur every American to greater eff
fort.
Our people at home should not rest
on the laurels of our soldiers in
France. Every death on the field Of
honor in the line of duty and for our
country's cause should be a call to us
for every sacrifice and every exer-
ton to aid the cause for which oni
soldiers are fighting, for which oul
soldiers have died.
Increase production, decrease con.
sumption, save, and lend to the gov
eminent. Every cent lent to the
United States is used to support, aid
and strengthen our soldiers in France

radeship of arms and Of purpose OF
which we are dteply proud. The sea
seems very narrow today, France is
so close neighbor to our hearts. The
war is being fought to save ourselves
from intolerable things, but it is al
so being fought to save mankind.
We extend our hands to each other,
to the great people with whom we
are associated; and to the peoples
everywhere who love right and prize
justice as thing beyond price, and
consecrate ourselves once more to
the noble enterprise of peace and JUS

DID NOT BORROW TO BUY
BONDS.

The Federal Reserve Bulletin says
that one Of the most encouraging and
gratifying features of the Third Lib
erty Loan is that apparently there has
been little use of bank aceommoda-
tions for the purchase of bonds.
1t estimates that probably more than
80 per cent Of the bonds are already
fully paid for.
y The financial statement of the va
rious Federal reserve banks indicate,
according to the Bulletin, that not
mucG 1rlencfng from the banks was
done by thW Subscribers to the third
loan. They either pair cash or bought
on the installment plan.
This eases a great deal the burden
of the banks, upon whose shoulders
rests the financing of the business
and industry Of the country.

EXCHANGE OF
LIBERTY BONDS

The issue of registered bonds Of the
Third Liberty Loan has progressed
so far that transfers and exchanges
Of registered for coupon bonds will
be made on and after August l until
August Is. The registry books will
be closed on the latter date in order
to prepare checks for interest pay
ments on September Is. Bonds may
be presented during such period for
transfer or exchange, but such trans
action will be effected after Sep
TENDER Is and the September intre-
est paid to whoever was holder of the
bonds on August Is.
Coupon bonds ppresented after Au-
gust 10 for exchange for registered
bonds should have the September in
terest coupon detached; the register
ed bonds isseud upon such exchange
will bear interest from September
Is.

SAVING AND SERVING.

By economizing in consumption
and with the resultant saving pur-
chasing the Governments War secu-
rites the American citizen performs
a double duty. The citizen and the
government cannot use the same la
Dor and material; if the citizen uses
its, the material and labor cannot be
used by the government. If the citi-
izen economies in consumption, SO
much material and labor and trans.
portation space is left free for gov
eminent uses. And when the saving
effected is lent to the government
more money is thus placed at the dis.
posal Of the government.
The more the people save the more
money, labor and materials are left
for the winning of the war, the great
er and more complete the support is
given to our fighting men.

Toomany good things cannot be
said of Professor D. M. Clements, for
he has certainly done very excel
lent work in Henry county. A large
number Of boys have been enrolled
in the Agricultural Clubs and are do
ing most excellent work. The boys
know what is expected of them and
are doing their work and then are
keeping good record of it. Prof,
Clements has hoped this farmer with
his orchard, that farmer with terra
cling, another farmer with silo, an
other with the cultivation Of corn,
or perhaps he has furnished plan
for a hog house or a poultry house,
or barn. To hear so many farmers
tell of the active service this public
official is sufficient evidence that he
has discharged his duties well.
Mr.. j. E. Maxwell has done many
things worth telling to another far
mer, but the most interesting of all is
his intrest in sheep. The shrubs were
grubbed out of his front yard, the
land cultivated year or so to Grad
icate useless weeds, and then sodded
with bermuda. Sufficient shade is
maintained to make it comfortable
for the sheep. The flock has grodu-
ally improved until they are now in
fine condition. Mr.. Maxwell said
he was too much of man to let the
dogs scare him off from raising
sheep. 1t is much more patriotic to
raise sheep than a pup.
To have looked in Mr.. John Blake's
garden and seen the preparations for
fall garden, would have made any
one think it was gardening time,
about April /. He had many differ
ent varieties of vegetables planted
and in good shape for vegetables un-
til 1919. It is also encouraging to
know that Professor Phillips, Super
intendent of the city school, is inter-
ested in fall garden. Every family
in Henry county should have fall
garden, for gardens help win the
war.
Mr.. Van Dyke, of Cottage Grove,
has very promising field of corn on
land that was in clover last year. Mr..
Van Dyke is a great believer of soy
beans. In fact he does not feel like
ne is planting corn unless he is put
ting soy beans with the corn. In the
planting of his corn his soy beans
gave out, leaving eight rows with
out soy beans. Corn with soy beans
is just as good as the corn without
the soy beans. Mr.. Van dyke has
kindly consented to weigh the corn
on equal acreage of land with and
without soy beans. This will tell the
tale. This experiment is worth see-
ing.
Are you going to fatten your hogs
on 81 corn or will you have some soy
beans to Craze them on? Soy beans
and corn make very excellent feed
for hogs.
The surest indication of a
prosperous, permanent farm is the
live stock kept thereon. Go over Mr..
Ed Dumas farm and you will be i'm
pressed in your round with his live
stock and his careful method of
keeping them. A silo, a good silage
crop, large naaadows of hay, and good
pastures. nj. Dumas has so steers
that will bring fancy prices as two
year Odds. Mr.. Dumas sold pair Of
two year old mules for $500 and
then regretted his trade. He has an
other pair of two year olds that he
will not put price on. He also
has several spring colts on the farm.
His mules are just as good as any
Missouri mules money can buy. We
must raise good mules in Henry coun-
ty and keep our money at home.
