FoRDs AND SELF STARTERS.
They are Putting a Suffering Thing
abob on to do Your Cranking
For You

Ford cars now have self starters.
AS Henry, at last accounts, was
100000 cars behind his orders pro-
badly these few words of free adver-
Using will not greatly affect his
business.
And We do want to say something
about Henry's cars.
Besides making walking a pleasure
Mr.. Ford did lot of things for all
of us.
And now he is going to spoil it by
putting sputtering thingabob to do
your cranking for you.
Personally one of the chief thrills
We get out of our automobile" is
turning the handle that sticks out of
its front piazza.
1t requires no Drawn or brain to
stomp on a button and make your
engine wheeze.
But to properly crank a flivver is
a fine art.
The art crankist gives Betsy just
one slight upheave, and she snorts
He does not whirl the crank mad
ly, nor does he puff, and pant, and
sway in the roadway.
Just the slight upward touch of
the true artist and the faithful
Henry talks back to him every time.
And in the wintertime what joy
there was in getting the old reliable
to rattle.
You started at seven, and at one
you got the first back fire.
Such muscle as we have was
heaped on our bones, layer by layer,
through the chill months, and the
only callouses lot of us display
came from caressing the handle of
the family FLYER in December.
To date the Ford has been a regu-
lar institution, a different institu-
ton; one that required energy and
Intelligence to start, and a high de-
gree of Endurance to keep going.
But with self starters and real
springs, and, maybe, even cushion
two inches thick, and a tire bigger
than a bicycle tire, the old Ford is
so civilized and humanized that all
the sporting Joy of running it will
be lost forever.

GERMANS TRY TO FLEE
Interned Sailors Attempt to Es-

Prisoners Use Tunnel to Get Away
From Barracks During Severe
Electrical Storm.

Columbus, o., Aug. 26.-Reports from
Camp Sherman, near Chillicothe, indi
cate that IS or 20 or more informed
German sailors, who escaped from the
stockade, have been recaptured. Six
were caught within the camp, two 9th
ers were apprehended at ,Chillicothe,
and it was reported that five had been
arrested at Circleville. Five more
were captured at Columbus as they
reached the city upon a traction car
from ChillicOthe.
The prisoners made their escape
during the height of one of the most
severe electrical storms experienced
here in years. Through a secretly con-
structed tunnel leading from the cellar
of the barracks in which they were
quartered to company street 30 feet
away, the men made their escape.

Iowa Sweet Corn Pays.

Atlantic, Ia.-Farmers in the terri
tory surrounding Atlantic are realiz-
ing big returns from their sweet
corn crop this season. While the acre
age is not so large as in former years
the average yield and the quality of
the crop is exceptionally good.
The average yield will be two
and one-half tons to the acre. Many
fields are yielding five tons to the
acre. Growers are receiving $13 a
ton for their sweet corn.

Editor in Auto Beat Train.

Emmetsburg, Ia.-Editor George
Cookinham of the Ayrshire Chronicle
in making hurried trip home by
auto few days ago, left Fort Dodge
with the NJ. & st. Lapassenger train.
He crossed the track ahead of it
at Mallard, but one of his tires gave
out at Curlew.
The engineer, in pulling out ahead
of him, smiled and threw dust in his
face. This aggravated the editor so
he jerked off the damaged tire and
on three wheels hurried onward,
reaching home 200 feet ahead of the
saucy trainmen.

s7ss From One Acre of Onions.

The onion crop is being harvested
here and st. Ansgar, and is proving
quite satisfactory. The onions are a
little under size this year, but some
good yields are reported. The Hume
Mueller fields at St. Ansgar are
yielding $50 to 800 bushels per acre.
The price has been good. The first
sold brought $500 per hundreht-
weigh, but the price has fallen to
about $3.50 now. OFF one small piece
near st. Ansgar $7SS per acre gross
was secured, and the expense of
raising less than 500 per acre. This
is an exceptionally clean piece of
ground. On the whole onion-raisers
are faring much better than they did
a year ago.-Osage Press.

Body of Soldiers Wife Kept a Year.


Waterloo, lathe last chapter
of one of the tragedies of the world
war was written with the burial of
the body of Mrs. Myrtle Love at
Ainsworth, Iowa. Nearly year
elapsed between the death and burial
Of Mrs. Love.
While her young husband, F. E.
Love, was far away as soldier in
France, Mrs. Love was taken i'll of
pneumonia at their home here and
died Oct. IA, 1918. The husband was
told of his wife's death by cable
gram and after an exchange of mes
sages he expressed wish that the
body not be buried until he was able
TO get home.
Mrs. Loves body was placed in a
mausoleum until the soldier could
fulfil his debt to the nation and be
at the bier of his young wife. He
was discharged few days ago, came
home and arranged for the burial
at their former home in Ainsworth

Money To Lend To Public

That the Victory Loan, like us tour
predecessors, must be "peoples loan

secretary Of the treasury, in STATE
ment to the public. 1t is not to be a
bankers loan" The nations Dusl'
ness situation depends upon as wloe
a distribution as possible OF the VIC
tory bonds.
The banks, it is pointed out. must be
left free to advance money for business
purposes; to the merchants and manu-
facturers and the farmers. II all the
banks money is tied up in loans to
the government. it stands to reason
that there will be none left to lend
on crops. 1t would mean tight money.
which means high interest rates ana
refusals to extend notes and a general
hardship upon the men who depend
upon the banks to assist them in car
rying on business and agriculture.

Thousands Of young men who
have comfortable homes-whose

stead of availing themselves OF
these advantages, spend their
long evenings either in idle
lounging around corners, or in
company with frivolous associates,
male and female. Thus, winter
after winter passes away, each
one bringing them nearer to the
age Of manhood, but not fitting
them for the proper discharge of

quires. They enter upon the

waited intellect throws around its

REGARDING THE TEACHER.

Under the above heading one Of
our exchanges truthfully remarks
that when the son or daughter
comes home from school with a
complaint against the methods OF
a teacher, it is easy for the fond
parent to take the evidence and
form an opinion accordingly.
Teachers are about as human
as other folks. Like other NOR
tails they sometime make mistakes.
Not all Of them can have the best
methods of conducting classes.
Some of them are sufficiently
equipped for teaching. A few OF
them might be better clerks or
seamstresses just like few mill
listers or lawyers or editors might
be better brickmakers.
But here is a peculiar thing.
A parent can formulate an opin-
ion in a minute and condemn a
teacher as incompetent when he
hears one bit ofSvidence from his
son or daughter. He can make up
his mind that the teacher has no
place in the schools. Perhaps he
lets the teacher know that he is
dissatisfied with her work. Per-
,haps he even goes to someone high
'er in authority in the school sys-
tenn. But the mortals are mighty
few who take the same trouble
to let a teacher know their apprc-
citation when the teacher conducts
her classes as they think she should
or when she does good work IN
some particular class or course.
Our educational work is so i'm
portant and essential that it
should get the consideration Of the
parents. But there is. one simple
suggestion. Why not give the
teacher an occasional word Of
thanks and encouragement when
she does her workwell-instead Of
expressing your feelings only when
she does something that does not
meet your approval? incidental
~ this little bit of thanks and ell
couragment would not only make
the teacher feel better but it~youlh
make her better instructor

The need for the billions the Vic
tory bonds will bring is plain to any
man who stops to think. The war is
not over, though the actual fighting
has ceased. The bills are still running
up. Millions of men are still in uni
form, drawing pay and food and cloth
ing. The Secretary of the Treasury
declares:
Government contracts cannot be re-
pudiated. The goods must be paid for
in full. Our shipbuilding activities
must be carried out"
So, it can easily be seen that the
job is not finished. What would you
think Of farmer who built him
house. laying the foundations. putting
up the walls. ceiling the rooms-and
forgetting the roof?
The roof will not be put on our ma
tional house until the Job is finished
and the bills paid.

begin on April 81. The exact details
Of the issue have not yet been an
nounced, but it is considered certain
that the bonds will be made an unusu-
ally attractive investment
