farm Rentals At Auction,

Auctioning of rentals is a new
wrinkle in Black Hawk county.
It Is reported that the activity In
the farm land market has a counter
part in the rush Of farmers for oc-
cupancy of land that the other fellow

tition among renters Is SO keen that
the leasing of land for the next three
or fve-year periods Is by auction-the
highest bidder getting the right Of oc-

these spirited contests. bids as high as

Bar German Trade

London business men and business
manufacturers whose plants are locat-
ed outside of London are alarmed lest
the German should again obtain a
profitable foothold in the country, and
wide publicity is being given all in
formation which tends to show that
Germany again expects to do business
there. The latest is the publication
of labels which Germans have prepar-
ed for the expected trade and which
have been sent to London by soldiers
with the Army of Occupation at
Coblenz.
Superior scissors made of the best
double refined cast steel. Made in
Germany" reads one label and "finest
hollow ground razors, set ready for
use, warranted; made in Germany" is
another. Still others carry the guar
antee of the German manufacturing
firm, and all of them the place of
origin. 20
According to an announcement by
the Board of Trade, the regulation
against the importation of German
goods in Great Britain are still in
force and there is no danger of a Ger
man trade invasion until these have
been removed. The British are jeal-
ously guarding their home trade from
the German.

American Army Larger Than Britain's

At the signing of the armistice, the
American army on the western front
was second in size only to that of
France, and occupied the second larg-
est extent of the fighting front. On
November II, the American troops
held 134.25 kilometers of the total
front of 642 kilometers, compared with
40 kilometers held by the Belgians,
113 by the British and 354 by the
French. In January of that year, the
Americans held only 10 kilometers of
the fighting line, the British 1877, the
French 500 and the Belgians 40.
The American army was being rap
idly increased and the extent of the
front they held so extended that in a
few more months, had the war gone
on, they doubtless would have had
more of the line than the French. And
this was accomplished by a War De-
partment whose critics declared had
ceased to function"

Have Your Own Supply

Bishop Brent, who is Senior Chap
lain of the American Expeditionary
Force, says that the best religious ex-
hortation that he heard in France was
delivered by an American colonel.
This is the story: 81 was with a di-
vision before St. Mihiel. l saw the
men as they faced the worst, as they
were getting ready to go into it.
They knew what faced them. l talk
ed to them as best l could, but the
best address was delivered by a
colonel. After my talk he told them
to be sure that they had extra shoe
laces, that they would not have to de-
pend on the other fellows supply
Then he turned quickly to them and
said, Now apply this to your spirit

have done better than that. In the
spiritual realm there is no such thing
as depending on the other fellows

jefferson had written in 1901 to
Monroe that the cession of Louisiana
and the Floridas by Spain to France
was very unwise in both, and very
ominous to u.s. to Pinckney in 1897
that the anticipated exchange "open-
ed us to a combination of enemies on
that side where we are most vulner-
able" Though a lifelong friend of
France, he did not rest until the Lou

of the real Valley with its "hinter-

That Premature Armistice Report

In Camden, the other day, they had
a big celebration in honor of a native
son-Vice Admiral Henry B. Wilson,
the distinguished officer VIII. COM
manded the American fleet in French
waters during the war. And, among
other things, he told the inside story
of the premature announcement of
the signing of the armistice in last
November. 1t is an interesting bit of
information, coming from a great
American.
81 was seated says Admiral vii
son, Gin my office in Brest, about 4
o'clock of the afternoon of Novem-
Der T, when l received a telegram
from the French naval attache at the
French Foreign Office, which read:
"The French Foreign Office officially
that the armistice was
signed at II a. m. today and hostili-
ties ceased at 2 p. m.
"a few moments later Roy w

Howard became excited and asked:

I" 1 don't care what you do with it.,
l said.
Howard rushed from my office and
he must have spent a wad of money
to get that thru the French telegraph
offices. Both the French and Ameri-

About two hours later l received a
second telegram from the American
naval attache at the French Foreign
Office which read: French Foreign

message to America, but the censors
caught this second message and held
it up twelve hours.
"Well, you folks had two celebra-

about having two good times instead

laughed with the guests.
"The next morning Mr.. Howard

he asked me to make some kind of a

What a divergence of views can
be expected at a distance of n mile!
At the National Capitol a certain
group of Republican Senators occu-
pied much time in denouncing the
League of Nations and drawing up a
"round robin pledging unalterable
opposition to anything that President
Wilson suggested as a possible means
of preventing future world wars. A
few days ago another gathering IN
Washington took action on the League
of Nations. but lot a voice of opposi-
ton was heard. The 2Sth Continen-

Daughters OF the American Revolu-
ton, in session in their own building,
vigorously applauded resolutions I'M
equivocally indorsing the League of
Nations. and further showed their en-
thusiasm al every mention of the pro-
posed remedy for var
There was more significance to the
action of the Daughters of the Amer
would indicate. The members of this
organization are intensely patriotic,
but that they could agree unanimously
on the important project that was OPP
posed by Republican leaders as a par
ty issue and which rent that party in
twain shows conclusively the tremen-
dous and unanimous swing of public
sentiment toward President Wilson in
his efforts on behalf of the League.
The ground robins are disappear
