Horrible Accident to Boy.

Raymond, the fourteen year old
son of Mr.. and Mrs. Peter Hugh OF
Union township, was the victim of a
distressing accident, Saturday fore
noon in which he was terribly mang-
led by disc harrow. Raymond was
driving a four-horse team, which
became frightened and ran. The boy
was thrown forward and under the
discs and in this entangled position
he was dragged for distance OF
twenty rods or more while the sharp
blades cut and bruised his body.
the team ran through combination
woven and barb wire fence, dragging
the disc and the boy. When rescue
came it was necessary to pry the ma
chine from the boys body. The
physician quickly summoned found
that Raymond's head had been cut
in numerous places, necessitaune
twenty-five stitches to close the gap
ing wounds, that one arm was brok'
en-, his leg was cut and bruised. II
| is a miracle that he lived through
the experience, but strange to say
he was conscious when liberated and
his mind was clear throughout the
hours following. The disc is said tt
be complete wreck.-Hopkintor

Canada on March 80, 1919 and came
May 1st, to visit his father, w. c.
Morris and family of near Alpha. His
father accompanied him to Lawler

quite different than when he called
last summer to tell of the death of
his son.
He was buried by a shell explos-

ice CREAM MUST
Be ICE CREAM
State Inspectors Ordered to Strictly
Enforce Butter Fat Rule
TWELVE PER CENT is
MINIMUM ALLOWANCE
Feed Department Preparing to En-
force Other Laws Prohibiting
Adulterat:on-Many Eggs
Being Stored at High
est Prices Ever
Known

Instructions were given to inspect
ors in the state food and dairy de-
partment at their conference in Des
Moines last week to enforce strictly
from now on the state regulation re-
curing that ice cream be made of
milk containing at least IL per cent
butter fat. With the warmer weather
coming on and the demand for ice
cream increasing, the tendency to
reduce the standard must be checked.
Dairy Commissioner w. B. Barney
declares.
During the war period the fight
which the state department has made
for several years to keep up the STAN
dard of ice cream was not so vigor-
ously waged as it previously had
been and the quality of ice cream
suffered. But ice cream has been in
creased in price recently and the
state standard must be lived up to
from now on, according to the ruling
Of the department
The department was authorized by
the Thirty eighth general assembly
to fix food standards on many arti-
'cles where there has been a dispo-
sition to use adulterants. These
standards are now being worked out
carefully and will conform to the
federal law wherever possible. They
will be announced about June /.
High Priced Eggs Stored.
Inspectors from out over the state
report that eggs are going into stor-
age at-the highest prices ever known.
In many places forty to forty-two
cents per dozen is being paid for eggs
to go into storage. A year ago the
price was thought to be unusually
high when it reached thirty-six to
thirty-seven cents for storage eggs.
Creamery butter is selling around
~ cents. Manufactured ice is selling
in Des Moines for 60 cents per hun
bred, which is cents above the
price last year, but in some places of
the state where manufactured ice is
almost impossible to get and where
natural ice is scarce because there
was but little to harvest the price is
almost prohibitive, selling as high as
81 per hundred pounds.
Two new inspectors have been
named in the dairy department. F.
c. Gilmore, of Atlantic, has been
named to succeed l.. S. Flickner, re-
signed. Gilmore will continue to
make his home in Atlantic. ]. NJ
Morrow of Douds, has been named to
take the place of C. S. Boyle, who
has been made chief Inspector Of
weights and measures with head
quarters in Des Moines.
The campaign to rid the poultry
flocks of roosters so that eggs will be
infertile during hot weather is being
waged by the food and dairy depart
ment. If the eggs are to be infertile
the ROSTERS must be removed the eX-
perts declare. In 1916 the egg loss
in Iowa amounted to 100000.

French Women Capture the Hearts
of American Soldiers.

Boone, Ia.-"French women,
maids and widows, are making a
matrimonial drive on the American
soldier almist as pretentious as the
drive the Americans made on the
Germans.
"They want him as much-yes,
more-than the allied generals want
him, and they tell him So" declares
Sergt. Harry L. Morgan, son of Mr.
and Mrs. Henry Morgan of this city.
Sergeant Morgan returned from
France in February after being over
seas five months, since last Septem-
Der. He was in the active fighting
during the Argonne forest drive, and
was gassed and wounded by shrap-
mel. He was member of the One
Hundred Sixty-eighth infantry of the
Rainbow Division.
Cupid's Casual.
There is another casualty list
with which the American women
must reckon-loss in prospective
husbands" Sergeant Morgan con-
tinued. "One who had lived and
fought in France for a few months
and then returned to the United
States can easily understand the
growing tendency of our boys over
there to marry French girls, with
memories of the advanced American
girl fresh in mind. Back of it all
there is the big change in the man.
He has found a land where he has
been put upon a pedestal, Is kissed
as hero, taken as a husband lord,
master lover, or all in one.
1--WE talked to don't know how
many Of the French maidens, and
asked them why they like the Ameri-
cans. They were frank, too frank we
would say. They told me they loved
Americans because they were AM
ericans-they were big and strong
and kindly and noble. 'Ah,' they said,
you stir our poor bleeding hearts
We would take you for this alone.
Take us and marry us.
A New Blood Strain.
"Ah, dear God to have a man
child like an American We will
slave, we will work, We will make
you happy. Take us back to America
with you.
But when the last advance has
been made and the peace treaties
are being signed, Uncle Sam will
not discharge Americans IN France.
They must go back. They will find
they have changed, but the Amer
lean girl has not. They have express
sion of human emotions, they will
find suppression again. Their girl will
be more independent than ever. She
will abhor resuming responsibility
of marriage more than ever The
GOODNESS of the nation will strike
them as it struck me.
"Then another line Of ships will
start across the seas bringing French
brides for former American sold.

WOMAN'S HAIR TORN OFF.
Distressing Accident Befalls Laundry
Worker at Cedar Rapids.

Cedar Rapids, Ia.-Mrs. J. w.
Hopp, 1888 D. avenue, is suffering
from what is one of the strangest &C
cidents that has come to the atten-
ton of local physicians in many
years. Beginning at the forehead and
extending back for length Of seven
inches a strip of her scalp three in
ches wide is devoid of any hair. 1t
has been pulled out clean and the ac-
cident was due to curls and an cleo
trio washing machine.
With her hair done in curls she
was leaning over the machine-driven
wringer, at the rear of an electric
washer. when one of her curls caught
in the machine and her head was
drawn toward the wringer. Unable
to free herself, more of her hair
caught, and her scalp was pulled up
to the two rollers. Not stopping, the
machine continued to revolye and
catching her hair, it pulled all of it
out in three inch strip straight
back from the forehead.
The strangest part of the case
lies in the fact that the scalp was not
broken. Had that been the case her
hair would not have grown in again.
The doctors report that such cases
have been heard of but that this is
the first one ever known in which
the scalp remained whole while a
large amount of hair was pulled out.

soaks seven grains of salt in the blood
This she mixes with the honey and
puts the dose in the erring husbands
