FAVOR WINNER TAKE ALL.

While the members of the Ma
tional Commission are cogitating
the new arrangements by which
the world Series spoils shall be
divided. there is but one opinion
concerning the matter among the
rank and file of the major league
ball players. That is that the
winner should take all of the au-
tumnal kale except the money that
goes to the clubs and the COM
mission. Even members of the
habitual second division clubs
who have little or no prospect of
getting a share of the big money,
favor the ''winner-take-all" basis
as the best from a sporting point
of view and the only fair means
to all concerned.

cured at the expense Of our European
neighbors. Our exports practically
ceased; we had no surplus left to send

But the question is, "Toward what
are we headed?" Shall we have to
continue to reduce our meat ration un-
til eventually we come to the plan Of
cereal-eating China? This is the
natural trend in every highly populate

stock must. compete for the same
grain, live stock is pretty apt to set

But there Is no real need for perma-

not producing anything like full ca

behind it. We have come to the time.
and we are rapidly going further INTO
1t when there will be practically no
stable manure for people to buy and
put on their ground. And then pei pie
will suddenly wake and realize that all
these years they have been giving to
stable manure a value it did not carry.

OBITUARY
HARDY

Elmer Lyle, youngest son Of Thomas
and Elizabeth Hardy, was born al
Cresco, Iowa, May 20, 1889, and there
he resided until at the age of eigh-
teen he went to Dakota and made his
home for about two. years with his
brother, v. c. Hardy, on his home
stead.
Returning from Dakota the two
brothers enlisted in the United States
navy, Elmer serving for four years
on the "New Hampshire and receiv-
ing an honorable discharge, with high
est, credits, on Dec. 16, 1912.
Very shortly after this he came to
Riceville and began work in the
schultheis garage, later going into
the same business for himself, which
he conducted successfully and skill
fully up to the time of his last brief
illness.
On Oct. Is, 1916. he was united in
marriage to Miss Nellie Burke of this
place, with whom he lived in happy
companionship for but two brief years
when his life work was suddenly ter
minated after about ten days illness
with influenza followed by pneumonia
complications. s..
Loved ones, doctors and nurses did
all in human power for his restora-
ton to health, but he passed to his
reward ON Thursday. Dec. 10, 1918. 4
Besides the bereaved wife, he is sur
vived by his father, Thomas Hardy,
of Cresco. one brother and two sis
ters, Verne Hardy and Mrs. Grace
Jensen of Cresco and Mrs. A. w.
River OF Riceville.
With these nearest relatives who
mourn, is mingled to sorrow Of many
friends-for no one ever spoke ill of
Elmer Hardy. He was a man who
made and deserved friendship. In his
home, in his work, among his asso-
ciates, he was always the same CHEEKY,
helpful, interested friend; not a per-
son of many words, but one who spoke
good rather than evil of his fellow
men. Such a life is never lost. e.
The funeral services were conducted
by Rev. Father J. J. O'Brien on Sat-
urday morning, who spoke very ap-
propriately at the grave, and he was
tenderly laid to rest in Calvary GEM

THE IRISH POTATO THE FOOD
OF THE PEOPLE

The, Irish, potato is a staple q
American diet. Enough potatoes were
consumed In the United States in 1915
to allow one eight-ounce potato day
throughout the whole year for each
man, woman and child.
Truly, the potato is the food Of he
people. The portion Of the American.
meal made up by this vegetable, alone,
consumes over 800. OOO,O 600 bushels an
nually. 49,.
Intensive methods make 1t possible
TO grow crops yielding from $50 b 400
bushels per acre. and at the same timo
to decrease the cost of raising each
bushel. The big expense In potato
growing comes in the preparation Of
the land, the purchase of the seed and
the attention given the crop through
out the season. But it costs no more
to prepare ground, plant, cultivate and
spray q 3OO-bushel crop than it does .
15O-bushel crop. Harvesting will cost
more, but the big overhead expenses
are pra ctically the same. Obviously
the thing to do is to insure large
yields by supplying an abundance Of
available plant food that will give the
crop good start and force 1t to early
maturity. -.
Fertilizers should be applied at ths
time Of planting, and In order to make
certain that this material may be o.
hand when needed It Is especially i'm
portant to- order early this year.
The maa Who has his fertillssf
stored In his own barn is the only one
who Gun be certain Of a supply when
needed. A big potato crop win b
needed next year whether peace eu0es
or not.
