She Sure Knows


An absolute knowledge, / have none
But my aunt said her sisters son,
Heard policeman on his beat,
Say to a laborer on the street,
That he had letter just last week,
Written in the finest Greek
From Chinese Coolie in Thnbuctoo,
Who said the negroes in'Cuba knew
OF a colored man in Texas town,
Who got it straight from circus
clown,
That man in Klondike heard the
news,
From gang of Southamerican Jews
About somebody in Borneo,
Who heard man that claimed to
know
Of swell society female fake
Whose motherinlaw will undertake
To prove that her seventh husbands
neice,
Had stated in printed piece
That she had son who had a friend,
That knows when the war is going
to end.

The Fair and Home Coming Close

The Fair and Home Coming Close
Today closes Home Coming Week
for 1918. 1t has been an unqualified
success in nearly every respect. The
crowds have been good and orderly at
all times. No drunkenness or rodyism
has been seen, the Jail remaining em-
PITY the entire week.
The Fair was success beyond the
expectations Of the most optomistic,
the exhibits and free attractions sur
passing anything ever seen on the
grounds and Thursday, the day the
soldiers were here, there were 10000
people on the grounds. This is the
largest crowd ever assembled in Har-
rison county. All available space on
the grounds was taken. The automo-
biles were not counted but there must
have been 1000 parked on the ground
Thursday afternoon.
Weather conditions were fine and
everything worked out as desired and
plans are now under way for bigger
and better fair next year.

Seventy-five per cent of the sugar
In Who's Cup.

In whose cup?
Yours or the soldiers?
Are you going to save sugar or are
you going to waste it?
Are you going to use the smallest
amount of sugar possible, or are you
going to continue to use sugar as you
did in the days before the war?
Saving sugar here, means sugar
over there, and ships to carry it, from
here to there.
You probably have heard that there
4 sno shortage of sugar, and that the
raw sugar output is as big, as, if not
bigger than ever, and someone has
told you that there is no need of saw
ing sugar. This is the most insidious
sort Q fGerman propaganda because
It is partly true and partly false.
The shortage Of sugar in this coun-
try is not due to any shortage in sug
ar crops, but to shortage of ships.

Communication
Omaha, Nebr.,
Sept, IL, 1918.


To the Mayor,
Missouri volley, la.
Dear Sir:
Through the efforts of the Omaha
Chamber of Commerce, we have or
ganized in Omaha what is known as
a Return Loads Bureau. This is an
organization of truck operators, mer-
chants and manufacturers who are
interested in transporting merchan-
disc of nearly every description to
and from Omahd by auto truck. The
congestion of traffic on the railroads
has made it absolutely necessary for
a large amount of merchandise to
be transported by auto truck in or
der to avoid tedious and expensive
delays.
We have established central Of
flee in Omaha at 4O7 s. 10th ST., and
have employed manager to give it
his entire time. His work consists of
bringing the truck operator and the
man with the goods to transport to-
gether; so that the truck operator
coming in from the country with q
load can secure return load to his
home town or in the vicinity where he
lives, and truck operators going out
from Omaha with loads can also Sc
cure something to haul back from
Omaha. This plan has been working
very satisfactorily in the eastern
states for something like two years
and we believe that it will develop
into a very important commercial
activity in this vicinity if properly
encouraged.
The officers Of the Bureau wish to
visit your town in the very near fut-
ure and explain he workings of this
bureau and the objects to be obtain
ed, to your business men, particularly
those who have goods to be transport
ed in or out of Missouri Valley.
We wish to make trip as far
north as Mo. Valley, where we will
meet with the business men of Mo.
VALLEY, afternoon or evening. 1t will
take but few minutes for us to ex-
plain the work of this organization
and feel sure that the business men
Of your town will see the practica
bility of this movement and be willing
to help in boosting it along. This
movement will not only stimulate
transportation by auto truck, but it
will also stimulate the maintenance
of better roads.
Will you kindly advise me at the
earliest possible moment what day OF
the week and what hour we could
meet with the business men of Mo-
Valley to present this matter. We are
not asking for contributions of any
kind, but simply assistance as boost
ers.
Hoping to hear from you ssoon.
am, Yours very truly,
j. M. Gillian,
Manager Industrial Bureau

A Stacker Round Up

The War Service Council pulled off
Stacker round up last evening that
netted at least two prospective can
didates for the army. At least two
hundred men were found without
their cards and they were required to
report at the office of Chairman KEEL
logg, who released them with a
warning to carry their cards and they
could not give a satisfactory expla-
nation so they were taken to Logan,
while their cases are being looked
up.
Nearly everyone took the raid good
naturally and those who did not have
their cards faithfully promised never
to be without them again. These raids
are being carried out all over the
country so a man should carry his
card with him at all times, except
possibly when he is at work, and be
ready to show it whenever it is de-
manded.
