ARMY FOOD FOR SALE.
Can ba Secured Through Decorah
Postoffice to Which Allotment
Has Been Made.

The government army stores of
food are now being distributed about
the country and so much allotted to
each class of postoffice in the United
States. The DEBORAH office has had
a considerable amount allotted to it
and the people of DEBORAH and vicin-
ity can get their share of this food
by applying to Postmaster F. E.
Biermann,
The food will be distributed, or
rather sent out from Chicago, after
the order is given and cash must ac-
company all orders. The following
articles can be secured: Bacon,
corned beef. roast beef, hash, beans,
corn, cherries, -four, rice, peas, soup,
tomatoes, etc. We note the price on
the bacon is one IL. ID. can $3.50
or case at $26.98. The case con-
tains six cans. At any rate the gov
eminent is going to get rid of its
vast stores or army food, and the
people will have the privilege OF
buying it, providing they want it,

EATING AS RECREATION.
One Boy Consumed sixteen Ice
Cream Cones i'm a Day.

A boy ten or twelve years old,
asked how many he had had that
Cay. Sixteen" he replied, hungrily
absorbing the sweet chocolate ice.
AS it was only supper time, he had
several hours to the good yet, and
had not probably gone his limit. The
kid was barefoot, slightly ragged.
The sixteen cones constituted a
problem not merely for his digestion,
but for the family purse.
Twenty years ago when pennies
were scarce, that boy would have
spent his vacation rolling in the dirt,
knocking baseballs into the nearby
gardens, and general vagrancy.
While he would have got into more
or less mischief, still HIS support
would have not cost so much, and his
stomach was not overloaded with
sweets.
Careful parents are scandalized
with the way the young folks now
adays crowd around the soda foun-
tains and refreshment joints, stuff
ing themselves to an extent that is
both costly and physically detri-
mental. Many of them consequently
come to their meals with no appetite
at all.
There is nothing new in this.
From time immemorial large part
of the people have made eating their
principal recreation and interest.
The grandest and finest thing in life,
to them, is to drive off to some hotel
and get a swell dinner.
Such people should not be con-
demned too severely. They are usual
ly harmless, often kindly. Good liv-
ers are proverbially good natured,
laughing people, who distribute
cheerful spirits. Thus they may serve
their purpose in life. Still the over
emphasis on eating is an abnormal
attitude. 1t tends to give people
sluggish minds, to keep them apart
from the progress and development
of the community. 1t is very frequent
ly paid for by years Of indigestion.

Tuesday morning two autoes col
lided on West Water street near the
Hawkeye filling station. DIR. o. Doe
and VIM. Pollitt were coming east
and Sam Stoskopf was driving west.
A dray came by the filing station
and DR.. Doe put on his brakes to
prevent running into it, and his car
skidded on the wet pavement with
the result a collision with the Stos-
kopf car. Mr. Pollitt broke the car
open and got out and Boo followed,
but in the excitement fell against
the Jagged door and sustained three
broken ribs. A wheel on DR.. Boe's
car was smashed also and the fender
and side smashed up some. 1t was
close call to very serious accident
and each driver did the best he could
to prevent it.

ing Bureau Being Sent Out
Reports Expected to Begin
to Reach Bureau Early
Next Week.

Des Moines, Ia.-Action of the
ninety-nine county food agents Of
the state will be co-ordinated with
that of the state food investigators
in the probe of the high cost of liy-
ing, w. G.. Barney, state dairy and
food commissioner and head Of the
new marketing bureau, stated today.
j. w. Coverdale, head OF the coan-
ty agents, was in session with Gov
ernor Harding mapping out tentative
plans for the program of the county
agents and home demonstration
agents.
The agents will act as detectives
in searching out the profiteering and
securing prices and information on
goods available for the market. They
will then report to the food investi-
gators.
The Questionnaires prepared by
the marketing bureau will be mailed
to the food investigators in lots Of
$50 this afternoon, Barney said. This
will give them time to get to work
this week and reports are expected
to reach the market bureau early
next week.
War on the high cost of shoes
and clothing has been declared by
Mr.. Barney. II think there is as
much, If not more prifiteering on
such articles than there is on food
stuffs," he said today.
The food probe is having a notice
able effect on Des Moines market
place prices. Mr.. Barney investigated
personally Tuesday and was told by
Market Master Sam Tungate that
there had been an average of 10 per
cent drop on all commodities for
sale at the market place.

Smashed an Electrolier.

Last Sunday a young fellow from
out of town was driving a car east
on Broadway. He was going down the
hill by the court house at fairly
good clip, intending to go over the
bridge over Dry Run, but just as
he was about to cross Winnebago
street discovered the bridge was
blocked and turned to the south
quickly, the car skidded on the wet
pavement crashing into the electro
lier, breaking it in three pieces. A
wheel on the car was smashed also.

BETTER BEGIN AT HOME.
Everyone Should Sweep First of All
Before His Own Door

There is an old proverb which says
that everyone should sweep first of
all before his own door. 1t is only a
homely way of saying that the first
concern OF man or a nation is to
solve the difficulties and problems
which lie nearest at hand. We can
well imagine that the thinking peo-
pie of Europe will not be especially
impressed by our desire to set all of
the racial issues of the Old World
into order when we have not even
begun to solve our own.
We believe in racial equality-in
Europe. We believe that all difficult
ties with subject people should be
Immediately righted-in Austria. We
are shocked at policy of military
oppression-in Ireland. But when it
comes to Washington or Chicago
that is another matter.
The race riots are direct conse-
quence of the war. The men of the
negro race were called to render
equal service in the army. They were
given the assurance that this equal
service in the face of death would
be rewarded with equality of oppor-
tunity at home. They have come back
trained in the ways of war, they have
had the experience of fighting and
defeating the white men; 1t is no
wonder then that the mental atti-
tude of the race is changed.
We must remember that the cessa-
tion of white immigration has made
the problem more serious. The negro
rears larger families than the white
man. In two of the states of the
South the colored population now ex-
ceeds the white. More and more the
ranks of labor are being recruited
from the surplus population Of
southern negroes.
1t is not unpatriotic to suggest
that we should first solve our own
race problem before we waste any
more energy in solving the race pro-
blems Of the rest of the world.
Make the world safe for democracy"
Make the world a decent place to
live in" these were the words which
we enriched an admiring world.
Would it be strange if some unre-
pentant, unbelieveing foreigner
should ask of us to take dose of
our own Observation-Disclosures Times
Journal.
