CALLS 1T CELEBRITY GROCERY

by Display and Recipes.

When the grocers Of Burlington re-
Gently wanted to know more about
war -four AID housewives of the
town. wanted to know what to do with
the substitute flour after they had
purchased it Miss Pearl Green,
county home demonstration agent, es-
tablished what she called a Liberty
Grocery Store" Here she placed on
display I'M an attractive manner sam
plies of wheat substitute fiours from
all the groceries in town, together
with bundle of recipes telling how
to use them. Then at stated inter-
walls she gave demonstrations in the
use of these flours. The grocery"
was held il connection with the corn
show.
So popular did the Burlington idea
prove that a number of other home
demonstration agents il other parts
Of the state are plarning to adopt it..
Spencer, Sioux City and Ottumwa
have already arranged for them. In
some places the display is made in
one of the central groceries, but with
all the groceries in town contribut-
ing to it. In another county it will
be held in connection with the annual
farm bureau board meeting.
Il am constantly getting letters
from grocers over the state imploring
me to send them recipes for the use
of these new liberty flours," says Miss
Neale s, Knowles, head Of the home
economics demonstration work at
Iowa State College. This idea of
the liberty groceries seems to me
such a good one that l am urging all
of our home demonstration agents in
Iowa to conduct one in their COM
munity or town"

He Broke Into Jail.

Sioux City, Ia, March 4.-Patrick
Brennan of Sioux City has been arres-
ted by the Sioux City police ard is
being held for the officers of O'Brien
county, who charge that he, Bren-
nan, recently broke into the O'Brien
county Jail at Primghar. Brennan is
alleged to have done more than break
into the Jail, he colfiscated a con-
siderable quantity of bootleg whis-
ky that had been seized and stored
there, it is charged. That is why he
is to be taken back and why probably
will be an unwilling occupant of the
Jail he is alleged to have so willingly
entered without invitation or orders

More PrOliteering.

Corn meal and all substitutes for
flour are now higher and going
higher every day. The new order
compelling their use will send them
higher unless the government steps
in and places a price on such foods
The men who hold such foods do not
care for the people and what it costs
them to live or die for want of food
just so long as they can reap big
profit from what they have to sell
There is no reason, justice or com

in any federal court shall be liable
to fine of not less than one nor
more than five hundred dollars, or
