KTEFFER AND OSENGA
SELL STOCK AT
REAL FANCY PRICES

Mr.. Mascrip Of Lake Elm, Min
nesota, who has a national rep
utation as Holstein breeder and
Judge, recently came to Wood
county to purchase a few head.
He secured three COWS and two
heifer calves from J. c. Kieffer
& Sons, Auburndale, and one
heiffer from A. Osenga, Arpin.
He paid very attractive prices.
A scrub bull does not produce
stock that attracts buyers of
this caliber.
Mr.. Kieffer has signed up with
the Federal Government for reg
ular tuberculin testing of his
herd. A recent test found his
herd free from disease. When a
herd is placed on the Federal list
Of accredited herds, animals may
be shipped to other states with
out testing.
Recently a breeder in Wood
county took two bull calves to
the depot for shipment the same
day. Both were under three
months Of age. One sold for
$3.50, the other for 1880. One
was sired by a scrub bull. What
kind of q sire are you using?

"FINi6H THE JOB
WOMEN BIG HELP ON
VICTORY LIBERTY LOAN
Preliminary Work Is Well Mapped Out
Big Showing in Former Loans
to Be Exceeded This Time.

Preliminary returns show that the
women workers of the Seventh Fed
eraI Reserve district are out to make
big showing in the Victory Liberty
Loan. Women chairmcn and workers
are everywhere signing up for the
fifth campaign. There have been very
few designations, it is reported, from
women who felt that their obIigstfon
to the nation had ended because the
fighting in France was ended.
On the contrary, it is asserted by
Miss Grace Dixon, director for women,
Seventh district, and by other leaders
in the WOmen's loan activities, the
women workers feel more strongly
than ever their obligation to get out
and personally go after bond SllbScrip-
tons. The very fact that individuals
are found Who DO not appreciate the
obligation resting upon the civilian
population has aroused in double force
the patriotic sense Of duty in the
breast Of the women workers. These
are asserting through letters re-
ceiyed at Chicago headquarters by
every mail that they intend to work
twice as hard as in any preceding
lOan-if that be pOSSible-in order to
counteract the 'quitter" sentiment
that is manifesting itself among GER
tain individuals in every community.
Preliminary work is well mapped
out in a majority Of the counties in
the district 1t is planned to nave a
larger number of women workers en-
rolled everywhere than was the case
in the preceding loans. Workers al
ready are securing pledges from re-
cruits and yete&ans and it is promised
that a better showing will be made in
every state than in any Of the Liberty
loans so far placed.
The Fifth loan, it is pointed out, Will
come at q time when women on the
farms and in the smaller communities
can give an especially large amount
OF time to the loan work. The drive.
coming in April, will precade tee ac-
tive farm and garden work and the
| women will, therefore, be in a position
to concentrate on the campaign in a
way they were unable to do in the
Fourth loan.
The results of the Victory Loan are
expected to prove monument to the
patriotism and self-sacrifce of the
women of the Seventh Federal Re
serve district, for the spirit of service
is the animating principle of the Amer
| lean people at this time.

ELOQUENT
SPEAKER

Every one in Grand Rapids
who can crowd into the First Con
gregational church, next Sun
day evening, should do so, and
hear Mr.. S. J. Duncan Clark.
Editors of great metropolitan
newspapers do not visit cities Of
cur size frequently, and when
they do, their coming is an event
Of the first magnitude. Mr.. Dun
can Clark won for himself, dur
ing the war, the title Of one of
the foremost war analysts in the
country. He ranks with ST.
m0nds of the New York Times
in Importance.
At the beginning of our par
ticipation in the war, he put
himself and his time at the dis
posaI of the government, and
was used perhaps more extern
sively than any other speaker in
the Chicago district. He has
averaged five addresses a week,
and during drives and campaigns
often gave more than that num-
Der in one day. Factory meet
ings, fashionable clubs, great
trade meetings and patriotic
rallies sought his services, and
churches in abundance, Of every
denomination invited him to
! their pulpits. His daily inter
| Dretations of the war communi-
cations enlightened many thou
sands OF Chicago people, who
turned to his war analysis col
unns at once, when they secur-
ed their morning paper.
Grand Rapids is very FORUM
ate to secure Mr.. Duncan Clark.
His subject, America and the
New World Order" is one which
is particularly fitted to speak
upon. Much of his material is
first hand, for he was taken over
to Europe as the guest of the
British government, last fall,
and had unparalleled opportuni-
ties for meeting and interview
ing the rulers and leaders of
France, England and Belgium.
The meeting begins promptly
at 1870 o'clock.

that will be Issued newt summer and
fall, there will be a very much re-
duced balance for general business
credit accommodation
Everyone knows what credit limita-
tons did 10 business in the DAYS when
fighting was going on. The readfust-
ment pause that has followed has les
sened the demand, but the minute
business starts forward on the recon
struction boom. as it will in q short
time, every dollar of credit facilities
possible will be in demand, and any
such limitation as failure of the
loan WouIf entail would mean bust
ness StagnatiOn and unemnlOvment,
livery loan worker in the Seventh Fed
eraI Reserve district must realize that
the success Of his own business. or the
size Of his own pay envelope. is tied
up with the success of the govern
ment's financial plan.
Finally, the nation has such an
enormous amount of new wealth that
it is impossible to assume that the
loan will fail. Everything says that.
unless patriotism and common sense
were both stricken dead in every
American breast upon the signing of
the armistice, the loan will be a sue
cess. National bank deposits in 1913
amounted to only SG.051 $50. 0S7: to-
day they amount TO &15.051 900. 900
Farm profits on the 1918 crop have
been enormous AMI the 1919 crop prom
tses to be the greatest in history The
hard-coai mines of the country pro-
dUced 76,649,91S gross tons of new
wealth in 1918 and the petroleum wells
added 3f5,500,000 barrels Of oil. The
national balance Of trade-the excess
OF exports over imDorts-has grown
from $232,G77,92 in 1909 to $3,1J0,O0O.-
600 III 1918. In four short years we
have changed from a debtor nation
owing $1,000, O0O000 abroad to cred
itor nation thar is owed $10000,000,-
900 by foreign nations and their people
And lastly, American banks hold the
greatest accumulation OF gold ever
known in history-as much as is owned
by the next eight most wealthy ma
tons put together.
Any citizen who fears that the fifth
loan cannot and will not be subscribed
has little of the courage and conf
dence that made America famous at
Chateau Thierry and Can,igny and in
the Arg0nne Forest.

THE WHITE GRUB IN 1919
What Control Measures Shall
We Use?

What to look for. This spring
| in the southern half of the state,
the grubs are nearly full grown
and will come up from below the
frost line and feed for only a
short time-until about the mid
die of June. Then they make
earthen cells several inches be-
low the surface Of the soil in
which they soon change to the
pupae or resting stage, and q
bout a month later into adult
May beetles. These beetles will
remain in their cells until next
spring, 1920.
What to do. Land which was
badly infested last year and
which is to be planted to corn
potatoes or some other wide row
crop, should be thoroly plowed
and disked to crush the grubs in
the soil.
Delay planting as long as pos
sible to give the grubs only a
short time to cause injury be
fore they stop feeding.
Land in weeds, grasses, small
grains, or timothy in 1917 is
very likely to contain large num-
bers of grubS.
Where practical, land badly
infested last year should be deep
ly plowed and thoroly disked as
soon as possible after July 18th
to kill the resting stage of the
grub and the newly formed beet
les. These are only from 3 to
8 inches below the surface of the
soil and are easily crushed.

American tires are keeping step in
popularity in foreign lands with Amer
lean automobiles. Last year the Unit
ed States Tire Company sent its pro-
duct to forty countries scattered
throughout the world. The removal of
shipping restrictions is expected to re
suit i nadding twenty-five o rthirty
countries to the list during the cur
rent year..
A few days ago an Iceland automo-
bile dealer paid a visit to the New
York office Of the United States Tire
Company and ordered full tire par

this bran dof tire was regarded as
the quality brand" in his country.
Turning to the southern hemiS-

of LA NaciOn," the leading newspa-

page article telling Of the wonderful
performance of a Scripps-Booth car
in a test of 1889 kilometers over
the mountain roads Of that country.

testimonials are given from the topics
where long tire life is generally re-

in Manila has already given $1,000
miles on a heavy garage car. Another
went 10000 miles without being TAX
