ing of the Jewell Community Club on
Monday evening, the recommendation
of the Patriotic and Public Activities
Bureau to hold a homecoming celebra'
ton in Jewell in honor Of our soldier
boys was unanimously adopted. A cont.
mittee Of five was appointed to have
complete charge Of arranging for the
days program, consisting Of NJ. J. Sc

son, Rev. NJ. NOrstad and Otto FentOn
This committee will appoint subcOm.
mittees to handle the various features
as speaker, amusements and attrac.
lions, sports, music, etc. These will be
announced at later date.
The date for holding the celebration
was voted ny the club to be August 10
But after some consideration by the
committee, it was thought this date
would be too early, as not all Of the
boys will be home until in September
AS result meeting of club members
is called for this evening to reconsider
the date, which will probably be the
second Friday in September.

1t is as natural for the hog to want

sanitary hog wallow is like Coney Is

popular and serviceable type OF wallow
advocated by the United States depart
rnent of agriculture should be made OF
concrete about II inches in depth ana
large enough to accommodate the herd
of hogs. The Wallow should be supplied
with satisfactory intake and outlet so
that it can he filled about two-thirds full
of water and drained every few days,

boys Tuesday evening was well attend

caused many to come and help make
the welcome a most successful event.
At the opening of the program the or
ganist, Miss Maggie Rando, played the
march, while the soldier boys marched
to their seats especially reserved in
their honor. The choir sang several
national hymns, followed by an address
of welcome by Rev. G. O. Paulsrud. who
paid glowing tribute to the boys for
what they had done to help win the
world war, and he stated great popu-
lace arises to welcome home the noble
men whose valOr, endurance and forti-

and whose bodies lie at rest in France
and also to our soldier boy who is at

Williams Band Made Hit.

Williams Enterprise: While it may
seem little conceitCd on the part OF
the editor of the Enterprise, we can
not help but vcicc word CT praise fol
our band boys who took part III the
Homecoming celebration at Webster
City. Williams people were naturally
a little bit partial to our home boys
but it was an honor unexpected to lieal
strangers in the throng expressing the:l
appreciation in such words as there's
some good music; where are they
from?" and other comments of Il like
nature. The boys went up with the
intention of doing their best to afford a
measure of enjoyment to the crowd
and in this they were successful. Viii.
liams people have right to be proud
of the band, and should give the boys
the encouragement and aid necessary to
put them in the front rank of such or
CARNATIONS in this section.

etc, and will then locate this number
among the different lines serving the
market on fair and equitable basis
due consideration also being given in
the distribution, to connecting lines
whose own rails do not reach the mar.
ket directly. Uhder this plan, each rail
road will only be permitted to load
daily the number of carloads prescrib
ed by the committee, and each railroad
will be expected to distribute its load
ing as between its shippers in as fail
a manner as possible.
This plan will obviate the necessity
for individual permits to shippers fol
the transportation of grain from coun
try stations to these interior primary
or terminal markets. and should tend tC
eliminate to a very large degree any
grounds for complaints from shippers
of delays that We're received to some
extent last season, when the individual
permit plan was in effect. Under the
blanket permit system, the producer
will apply to the local agent on his rail
road in the same manner as he would
do were the permit system not in eff.
feet.
The circumstances of transportation
between primary markets and also tc
seaports, are so different from the Cir
cumstances attending the gathering
service" from country stations to pri
mary markets that to extend the 'blan
ket system" to include. this trans
portation, would not effect the proper
results. This tonnage is usually offered
in large lots by comparatively few ship
pers, and in the case of seaboard traffic
is subject to individual steamship con
tracts, which contracts are confirmed
by proper railroad authorities before
the permits are issued

The French citation was granted for
the same act of bravery which won
Sergeant Clark Distinguished Service

position, he put himself at the head
of patrol which reduced the
nest, killing four Germans and TAX
ing two prisoners, and thus permit
ting the resumption of the forward

with the appreciation Of General John
J.. Pershing, commander in chief Of the
American Expeditionary Forces.
Sergeant Clark prizes this citation
highly and both this and his Distingu-
ished Service Cross will be carefully
I, treasured.
