the hardest working men and one

Senator Balkema OF Sioux County
Congratulates Fourth District.

| ~
Congratulates Fourth District,
Sioux Center, Ia, Feb. %, 1913.
Editors Republican"
! noticed from the columns Of
your paper that Senator L. NJ. En-
ger of your city will be a candidate
for the Republican nomination for
Congressman from the Fourth dis
trict.
1t was my good fortune to serve
with Mr. Enger in the last four ses-
sions of the Iowa legislature and it
was there l learned to know him
and to appreciate him. AS an as
sociate, he is both pleasing and con-
genial, and his advice and council
are very helpful.
! Senator Enger is a man of good
ABILITY, is strictly honest, painfully
conscientious and imbued with
lofty ideals,-a man who feels his
responsibility to his constituents to
the fullest extent and permits moth
ing to dissuade him from the path
OF duty.
Senator Enger is not a powerful
and polished orator, who can spell
bind an audience with his eloquence,
but a man of mature Judgment,
sound business sense, a clear think
er, has firm grasp of public af-
fairs, and votes his own honest
convictions on all public questions.
A public Office is position CT
trust, where honesty and integrity
count for more than oratory.
The Republicans of the Fourth
Congressional district are to be con-
graduated upon having so eminent
and worthy a man as Senator Enger
aspire for this important office.
/ heartily recommend Mr.. Enger
to the Republican voters of the
Fourth Congressional District fol-
the Office to which he aspires and
sincerely wish him success.
Very truly yours,
n. BALKEMA,
Senator 49th District.

Abba, Iowa.-To the Editor: I
have noticed in your paper that
Senator L. M. Enger, of DEBORAH,
is a candidate for representative in
congress. 1t was my privilege
during the session of the Thirty
seventh General Assembly TO occupy
an adjoining seat with Senator
Enger and to serve on the same
committees with him. This gave
me an excellent opportunity to
know the man.
Senator Enger is man of splen-
did Judgment and scrupously con-
scientious. He is very energetic
and diligent in the discharge of his
duties. No senator was more faith
full to his constituency than he.
The people of his district in electing
Senator Enger for their representa-
tive in Congress would make no
mistake, and should they elect him
they will be ably, faithfully and
conscientiously represented.

Wonderful Exhibit at High School.

wonderful EXhIDit at High School.
The art exhibit at the high school
last Friday afternoon and evening
was considered by practically all
in attendance of being the very best
in the history of the school, and
was greatly enjoyed by the many
patrons and friends of the school
who were in attendance, The work
of all the grades showed most care
full training. In the high school
maps in history, cartoon books,
model home farm books, work in
English, mathematics, science, ETC.,
made a very creditable showing,
The departments OF Domestic
Ssiepce, drawing and manual train
ing were excellent and attracted
much attention. A very marked
advance has been made in penman-
ship during the last six or seven
years, a fact we'll worthy of special
mention, because of the danger
arising from the general use OF
the typewriter that penmanship may
become to some extent a lost, OF
at least a neglected art. Supt
Fleming is to be congratulated on
the attention she has given to this
department and on the results at
tanned.

JUNIOR RED CROSS NOTES.

(By F. L. Hoffman, County Chairman;
Anna Flynn, County Secretary
Since our last weeks notes the work
of organizing of school auxiliaries and
school units has been going on with
great success. If the present rate
continues every township will be or
ganized before school is out for the
summer. This is what we are aiming
to do so we shall all be ready for work
in the fall without month or two of
delay in organizing.
And, too, the children can do much
during the summer vacation. Let the
officers of each auxiliary so arrange
that during the vacation there shall
be some one in the locality at the head
of the work and ready to marshall the
forces at hand for any emergency.
About the first of April there was a
call from headquarters for 100000
gun wipes. The forces. went to work
and in a couple of weeks word was
sent out that all was supplied. This is
indeed wonderful. We want it to be
the same when the big calls come for
wash cloths, wristlets, socks, refugee
clothing and SO on-that our forces
are ready to set TO work Immediately
and in a few weeks all is done and
shipped.
Then between calls we want to be
busy raising gardens, helping father
and mother in all tasks so they may be
able to do the big things we are not
able to do. We must run errands and
help in every way possible the local
Red Cross branch. Let US gather up
all the old iron, rubber, paper, tinfoil
and leather and turn them into money
to help win the war. Let us bend ev-
cry effort to raise more food this sum-
mer and help save all we can. Let us
cultivate habits Of industry and thrift,
and observe every rule Of sanitation
and hygiene so that we may all grow
to be the most useful citizens in this
great nation.
The kiron Junior Red Cross gave a
very fine patriotic program in the city
hall last Friday night which Melted
the auxiliary about 5000. The program
was made up OF recitations, songs,
dialogues and exercises which were
very instructive and inspiratiOnal.
These with the addresses given made
a very profitable and wholesome enter
tainment.
The Boyer auxiliary was organized
last Friday with Miss Agnes Brogan,
chairman Miss Lydia Otto, secretary;
John kovar, treasurer. The rural
teachers near Boyer are joining this
auxiliary and are planning to help the
Boyer branch of the Red Cross do a
lot of work the coming season for In
Gle Sam
A teacher in one of our public school
rooms thought to have some spring
poetry written by the children. She
assigned as the subject of the poems
to be written Spring Flowers" When
the poems came in, without exception
the subject substituted was "The
Kaiser" and if Kaiser Bill could have
read the ideas and sentiments en-
pressed by these young Americans he
would have felt anything but compli-
mented.
. The pupils of the north brick build
ing In Denis0n have been busy doing
work for some time, although they
have just gotten regularly organized
as an auxiliary. They sold about $40
worth OF Red Cross seals last Christ.

WOULD STOP SALE Of:
LIQUOR JAN. |, 1919

WASHINGTON, July 11.-Legisla-
ton to prohibit the sale Of distilled
liquors, wine and beer after Jan. 1,
1919, and to prohibit the manufacture
of wine and beer after Nov. 1, next,
was agreed upon Monday by the SEN
ate agricultural committee.
The legislation is proposed as SUBJ
stitute for the pending Norris amend
ment to the emergency agricultural
appropriation bill which would stop
the sale Of distilled liquor and wine on
June 80, 1918, and prohibit the manu-
facture Of beer three months after the
bill becomes law.
Provision for the expectation of
liquors already produced was consid-
cred by the committee and probably
will be reported in some other form
before the senate acts on the amend
ment.
