sponsible for the co ord ina ton, control
and efficiency Of all the organized ac-
tivities for Uncle Sam Of all the Cath

When he reports to the conference
OF the hierarchy Of his church. that
has been called this month In Wash

future. OF the National Catholic War
Council. Bishop Muldoon will relate IT
striking chapter in the history Of
American war work and outline a fu-
ture prospect OF continuing to mid the
government through the trying times
ahead. This Is what he has to say
about the work Of his organization:
"The National Catholic War Council
represents the patriotic effort of II
great church. We Catholics believe
with all the intensity Of our nature
that nowhere in the wide world has
the church such freedom and opportu-
nifty M under the Stars and Stripes.
and consequently we feel that we can
not do too much to express our graft
Jude and patriotism. We felt II was
not enough that the sons and dnugh-

Our church wishes tn go further and
to put into the field an organization

CAREFULLY KILL ALL WEEDS
OF Much importance That No Noxious
Plant Become Large Enough
to Produce Seeds.

Weeds keep on coming up all
through the season, and must be care
fully removed. for single weed may
produce enough seed to infest the
whole garden next season. SO it is
important that no weeds become large
enough! to produce and ripen seed.
The use OF stable manure is a source
OF fresh infection, as this usually con
f"ins many weed seeds. This danger
may be avoided by using only WELL
rotted manure on the garden. keeping
fresh manure in compost heap for
at least six months. The seeds will
be sprouted or killed by the heating
OF the manure. Some Of the plant food
Is lost by composing, but it is made
up by the better physical condition of
the manure.

make them pay higher prices in order
that someone else may take advan-
tage Of the so-called free delivery and
free credit. One Of the first rules OF
market, therefore, should be that
dealers will not be permitted to grant
expense.
Smaller Profits.
The market Manager should insist
10 dealers in the market that the say
ings effected by tfom as compared
with outside dealers, by reason of the
lower rentals and the absence Of de-
livery and credit expenses, should be
passed on to the consumer in lower
prices. Because of decreased operat-
ms expenses. dealers in the market
can sell at considerably reduced prices
and still make the same margin Of
net profit as the average stOrekeeper.
As matter of fact, they can we'll
AFFORD to take somewhat smaller
margin Of profit. since fair reduction
OF prices as compared with other com
petitors will attract more customers
and so will build up the volume Of
their business and increase the rapid
ity OF their turnover The result will
be that the aggregate net income built
from large number Of small unit

will be greater-and often very much
g1eater-than incomes built by private
service" stores from larger but fewer
profits which are subject to reduction
from spoilnge because Of slow move
ment of goods.

MERCHANDISING METHODS

Modern methods Of merchan-
dising, which have brought sue
cess to the foremost businesses
Of the country. should be
brought to the attention Of deal
ers in cooperative markets by
the market manager. This
should be one Of his particular
functions, and he should be Sc
lected largely with a view OF
his knowledge Of merchandising,
his enthusiasm and his ability
to inspire confidence in and OBJ
tain results from the class OF
men who operate market stalls.
The manager should get his
dealers together from time to
time and talk to them on mer-
chandising methods. He should
spend much time in the market
observing opera ions and sug-
costing improvements, and
should let It be understood
that he will be glad at any time
to help in the solution Of any
problem that may arise.

RECEIVES HONORABLE t
DISCHARGE FROM ARMY

Escol Baker, who was among the
first ones to enter the service and
who saw fifteen months overseas
service, received his honorable dis
charge at Camp Dodge Monday.
Tuesday afternoon his father, ]. H.
Baker went to Des Moines and
brought him home. Escol is look
ing the very picture of health and
the part of real soldier from the
ground up.
Mr.. Baker was in the motor trans
port corps which had charge of the
thousands of motor trucks used in
the army. These trucks were sent
to the battlefronts and there was al
ways more or less work on them to
keep them in running condition. At
ter the signing of the armistice he
was in Germany up near the Metz
district, and although he was in
Germany he was not in the army of
occupation.
He has many interesting expert
ences to relate. and although he
would not be without that experience
he is not particularly stuck on going
through il again. His many friends
are all glad to see him again and he
is meeting lots of them at the store
on South Park where he was busily
engaged when the war broke out.
After a short rest and acclimating
himself to civilian life he will prob
ably return to his former duties.

wHEAT YIELD rs 30 BusHELs

The first report of small grain
threshing to be made public comes
from Gilman, where. On the G. F.
Ctansberry farm, a yield of thirty
bushels of wheat to the acre has re-
suited in a field of twenty acres.
The 600 bushels has been sold to a
Gilman elevator at 50 per bushel,
making $1,000 gross yield for the
twenty acres.
A recent estimate of threshers
predicted the yield of small grain
this season very low, at from eight
to thirteen bushels. The first thresh-
ing report, however, is most encour-
aging, and causes farmers to believe
that the estimate of the threshers
entirely too low.
Here is Audubon county the wheat
was badly damaged and II is conser-
vatively estimated that 1t will not
make more than ten bushels to the
acre. We hope however that when
thresslng is done the yield here will
be equally as surprising as 1t was at
Gilman.
The continued warm weather has
had a most beneficial influence on
corn, which, on the average, is from
ten days to two weeks advanced ov-
er normal growth at corresponding
periods.

WOULD SUBSTITUTE
WHITE POLE ROUTE

There is a movement on foot to
substitute either the White Pole or
River-to- River road for the Lincoln
Highway across Iowa. Failure OF
several counties along the present
Lincoln highway to vote favorably
on hard surfaced roads is, the
ground for the demand for a
change.
Counties on the Lincoln and JEFF
ferson highways that voted against
paved roads may be responsible for
the moving of these cross-country
roads to routes that have declared
themselves against old time mud.
A movement is gaining strength
in Des Moines to transfer the Lin
coin highway to the River-to-River
route, or the Great White Way. At
present the Lincoln highway runs
through Story and Tama counties,
which have voted against paved
roads, making it impossible to i'm
prove their mud roads for at least
two years.
Story, Hardin and Franklin. coun-
ties On the Jefferson highway have
defeated paving. Routing 1t thru
Boone, Hamilton, Wright and Cerro
Gordo counties the road would miss
the mud road counties and pass thru
counties still able to adopt the pri-
mary system.

YOUNG COUPLE MARRIED
IN ATLANTIC TUESDAY

Dolliver Dawson, son of Mr.. and
Mrs. j. w. Dawson and Miss Pearl
Ruhs, daughter of Mr.. and Mrs
John Ruhs, were united in marriage
at the Methodist parsonage in Allan
tic Tuesday afternoon at $3.50. The
ceremony was performed by Rev.
Simpson and the witnesses were Mr..
and Mrs. VIM. Peppers of Extra.
This news comes as quite a sur
prise to their many friends, for al
though they have been in each 9th
er's company for some time past, yet
it was not thought that they would
be married until next spring.
The bride is splendid young
woman who has grown to woman
hood in this community. Her ex-
cellent traits of character and her
pleasing personality have won for
her host of admiring friends. The
groom is young man of sterling
qualities, industrious and ambitious.
Only a few weeks ago he returned
from almost years service overseas
where he gave a good account of
himself. and received his honorable
discharge from Uncle Sans army.
Mr.. Dawson has purchased the
crops and farm machinery from Art
McNutt, who has been farming the
old home place in Melville township
and he and his bride will move onto
the farm at once. Both come from
excellent families. Their many
friends will join the Republican in
wishing them an abundance of hap
piness throughout their married life.
A reception which will be attended
by the relatives of the contracting
parties, viii be held at the home oil

DO AWAY WITH IDLE HOURS

There is that everlasting appeal to
people to get a hobby. 1t is all very
well for the writer or speaker to pre-
pare his hobby sermons. but, like
Portia, it is easier to tell twenty
what is good to be done than to get
one of the twenty to follow their own
teachings.
A hobby is a most commendable
thing. But most hobbies are ex-
pensive. The best thing to do is to
plan out a daily routine for yourself
where you know every hour you VIII
be and what you are going to do.
There should be no idle or haphazard
hours at all. These are the hours
which make you nervous. allow you
to think of yourself, and which the
preachers of the hobbies would
therefore have you fill with your
"hobby."
Vacant, restless Hours. IL you have
no hobby, can be filled with reading
good books, calls on the sick. calls
on the places of interest in your city.
and with all such things which cost
little or nothing. In this day OF
great needs, when letters and pack
ages are enjoyed so much by the sol
diers, there should be no woman
who is idle, who can't find anything
to take up her mind and is so hard
pressed that she must have hob
by. "-Exchange.

IOWA men ARE
OUT FOR POSITIONS
MANY CANDIDATES HAVE AL
READY ANNOUNCED FOR
STATE OFFICES

With the approach of the state
primaries Iowa politicians are
looking forward to unusually close
races for nomination for various
offices in both republican and dem
ocratic ranks. 1t is pointed out
that only on a few occasions in the
past have so many men signified
their intention so far in advance of
election day of running for office.
The most recent to- enter the
race for republican nomination as
governor is III. NJ Havner, present
attorney general. Against him are
Lieutenant-Govern e. r. Moore
of Cedar Rapids; j. F. Deems OF
Burlington, former state food adj
ministrator; N 4. Kendall of Abba,
formerly congressman from the
Sixth district; Karl Kuehnle, Den
ison attorney and banker; and Chas.
A. Rawson of Des Moines, present
chairman of the republican state
central committee.
For jneutenant-governor the re-
publican field now includes w. F..
Moore of Guthrie Center, member
of the state house of representa-
tives, and state Senator James Will
son of Centerville. While these
are the only men to officially an
nounce their candidacy several 9TH
ers are being booked by their
friends. including Senator Perry
Holdogel of Rockwell City. Senator
Wallace Arney of Marshalltown
and Senator M. B. Pitt of Logan.
Walter Ramsay. present incum-
bent, and Lieutenant Colonel Leon
B. Ainsworth of Des Moines, are
the only candidates thus far for
secretary of state, and E. III. Hoyt
of Manchester has not found oppo-
sition for the office of state treasur-
er. E. F. Gose is out to succeed
Frank Shaw as state auditor.
The race for attorney general
promises to be a lively one. despite
the fact that Senator w. T. Evans
of Parkersburg, is the only one to
officially announce his candidacy
thus far. Campaigns in favor OF
Senator Joseph Frailey of FIT. Mad
ison. Representative Tim Harring-
ton of Algona, Senator c. w. Whit
more of Ottumwa, and Senator
John r. Price of Abba have been
started, although il is not definitely
rknown whether or not they wall
run.
