Bean Weighs 161a Pounds.

Boone, Ia, A bean that resembles
a melon in size and shape and which
weighs sixteen and one-half pounds
was raised in the war garden OF Mr..
and Mrs. T. H. Jones of this city.
The official title Of this new edible
is the New Guiana bean but the
name means nothing because the
bean can pose as an egg plant when
fried and as lima beans when stew
ed.
The bean in question is about a
yard in length and fifteen inches in
circumference and instead OF its
seeds being the only edible part the
seeds and surrounding tissue which
resembles but is finer grained than
the egg plant, are consumd. The
outer green covering resembles a
skin and is removed in cooking.

miles, in thirty minutes. AT thai

ENDORSES JUDGE HOuck
Editor Fayette County, Leader, Who
Knows Judge HOuck, Pays Him
Fine Tribute.

We take the following from the
Fayette County Leader, which pays a
glowing tribute to Judge Houck, and
voices the sentiment here in Winnie
shiek of every one who knows Judge
Houck:
This year we are to elect the sue
cessor to the late Judge Hobson, and
have two candidates from which to
choose, c. N Houck of DEBORAH, who
has been appointed by Governor
Harding to fill the vacancy, and H.
E. Taylor of Waukon. In the be-
ginning we wish to state that Mr..
Taylor is a stranger to US; we never
heard of him before lie came up for
the judgeship, and We have nothing
to say against him, because We do
not even know him. However, hav-
ing known Judge Houck for the past
thirty years the writer feels it his
duty to tell the people OF this vicinity
of the clean life, excellent record Of
Judge Houck as a man and attorney.
1t would seem impossible to find
anywhere in this district cleaner,
more conscientious or able man TO
fill the position Of judge of this dis
trict court. Judge Houck is not of
the type of man who expects to buy
your vote for a cigar; he asks your
vote only on his record. He is too
busy holding court to see you per-
sonally, and as his opponent has
time to make a personal canvass
Judge Houck must rely on his
friends and his record for his ele-
ction.
AS he is a stranger to the ma
jority in this county, we wish to say
that the name of moro honorable
straightforward man never appeared
on a ballot, and that as lawyer he
is held in the highest esteem by the
bar of this district. AS county at
torney of Winneshiek county (Which
Office he was holding when appointed
judge) he made one of the most
efficient county attorneys that county
ever had, doing more for Winnie
shiek county than any attorney hal
done for years. AS a judge he will
deal out justice with absolute fair
ness and in accord with the law, all
times doing his duty fearlessly and
conscientiously. If all the voters
knew Judge Houck's record as We do,
this article would not be necessary,
and it is because we need man
like Judge Houck for this most i'm
portant office that We are prompted
to write this, so that those who do
not know him may learn of him
from one who has lived in the same
county with him and known him.

Dear Folks:

france, sept. 70, 1918.
Dear Folks
l have few minutes to spare
while waiting for my noon soup. ]
am. feeling o. K. except for my feet,
which are sore from so much hiking
with these big, heavy shoes that we
have to wear. Writing is pretty
hard here as We don't have such a
lot Of time through the day and
paper is scarce. 1t gets dark so
early here and then We haven't any
lights in our barracks. We are
Handicapped for quite a few things
here. Bread is very scarce or
rather it was, but now We are getting
little more, about two slices a day
There is no tobacco or cigarettes to
be had here in town. We are issued
a two ounce bag of Durham a week.
so that helps some. For some days
we lived on corned beef and hash
because they couldn't get anything
else here to us and believe me it was
picking. l was so sick of meat that
l couldn't stand the sight of it.
A piece Of candy to me now, would
be like five dollar bill was to me
at home. / haven't been down town
yet and l don't know when I'll get
there, but those who have, say they
couldn't find any candy in the town.
I guess all they think of in this
country is wine.
/ had a chance to buy some
grapes yesterday, and they sure did
taste fine. They sell for twenty
cents pound at that. Surely is
enough, because they grow here
about as much as grass does at home.
wish we could have stuff sent here
from home, SO we could get what we
would keep you folks busy for
while. Ii you can send an Xmas box
like last year, then fill it to the
limit Put at least one box of
Hershey chocolate and plenty Of
Cameo cigarettes, anything to eat
l don't care if it's RYE Crisps" la!
la! In your next letter put in few
of those cold tablets used to take,
don't know If they will get through,
but take chance anyhow. Most of
the men have colds here and If /
can get those tablets they will help
more than anything else.
The news from the front looks
good and / hope we won't have to
be doing squads right and left much
longer, but that We can get into the
real stuff and help end this war. or
course as yet, we haven't been near
any of the real stuff and suppose 1T
will be some time before We will.
There sure will be some joy when
this is over and along with the JOY
will be lots of sorrow as good
many of the boys won't get a chance
to see those dear faces again. We
will all have to trust in the one
above, however it goes. Well dear
folks / must get something to eat
now so goodbye to all, and let me
hear from you. Give my love to all
the family and friends.
