widowed fathers" are new problem since
the Influenza epidemic robbed thousands of homes
of the mother and hOmemaker.
Almost any woman can make home for her
children given the dollars and cents to buy bread
and butter and shoes; but it takes SO much more
than dollars and cents to enable father to make
a home. Women engaged In administering moth

Many men whose wives stricken during
the epidemic are Woodworking, homelovng Ia

that is heartbreaking. It Is our mission to find
homes for the children near enough SO that the
father can see them every day and keep closely In
touch with their little affairs The father can
often pay for the childrens board 1t is the extra
things that women must do for the children that
make 1t impossible for him to keep them at home.
The milk problem alone is large enough and
complex enough to keep thousands of women
busy. It is stated that for every American man
who fell on the battlefelds of Europe nine of our
babies have died. These are the startling figures
of the bureau Of child hygiene The period
total was 100000, against casualty list of 3d..
600.
OF every three deaths one is of child under
three years Dr. s. Josephine Baker, director of
the bureau Of hygiene of the New York city board
Of health, frankly brands a nation careless
Of human life and figures fasten her charge on u.s.
But the experience Of the New York Diet Kitchen
association (and no doubt of other kindred
groups) has been that when these facts are really
brought to our consciousness helpful response is
immediate. That this response falls so fur short
of the need can only mean that the full weight of
such figures is not visualzed as it should be.
II the horror Of huge cityful Of little slaugh-
tered baby bodies were really brought home to the
parent heart Of our great-hearted; nation it would
quicken to one mighty effort the determination
that such things should no longer be.
Dr. Harvey Wiley, long head of the national bu-
reau of health, says Of the workers for child con-
servation that they are ''in the very front line
trenches Of humanity. on duty without rest fight
Ing against terrific Odds but certain Of ultimate
victory as the forces Of the allies were against
the devastating Hun"
Can 1t be possible that charity must have
the perspective of distance? 1t would seem SO, for
no unusual difficulty was found In financing with
American money five milk stations In London re-
Gently Yet figures showed that while the per
centage of malnutrition among London babies was

same period was 21 per cent A speaker lately re-
marked that "New York needs to be three to five
thousand miles from itself in order to be aroused
to q sense Of its crying needs"

THAI Also Guest of Honor

The banquet of the Jewish Reform

given in honor of Mr.. Chas. Moss, who
has completed 20 years of faithful ser
vice as secretary of the congregation.
But as former Ambassador Henry Nor

honor at the banquet and addressed the
gathering.
Mr.. Jonas We'll, president of the con-
gregaton, extended hearty welcome
to all present At the close of the ban
quet, Mr. and Mrs. Moss were presented
by the congregation with beautiful vic
tro1a and set of records, DR.. S. N.
Deinard making the presentation ad-
dress. One of the most enjoyable fea-
lures of the evening was the music fur
nished by the Temple quartet, and the
singing by all the banqueters of paro-
dies on popular songs, in which the
guest of honor, Mr.. Moss, and fellow
officers of the congre gation figured very
prominently. The banquet was followed
by dancing.

HICKORY NUTS ON GRAPEVINE
Missouri Farmer Produces Wonder of
Vegetable Life That Would AS

Kennett, Mo.-According to w. T..
Romine, recorder of deeds of Dunklin
county, Luther Burbank has been out
done on the farm of +. NJ. Mcneil,
where wild grapevine, growing
around hickory tree, has produced
hickory nuts in the place Of grapes
for two consecutive seasons.
The vine was also seen by j. p.
Nations and A. w. Winters, who ac-
companied Recorder Romine on a
search for peaches. 1t is not claimed
that the hickory nuts grow in clusters
the same as grapes, but many people
in the neighborhood will testify to the
authenticity of the story, as it seems
to be one of the peculiarlties of nature
caused by the crossing" of the vine
and tree.

Takes Rank as Million Dollar Bank

Takes Rank as a Million Dollar Bank
The total assets of the Peoples
National Bank of Waukon have pas
sed the million dollar mark. The total
on Oct. 10th shows close to fifty
thousand dollars in excess of round
million dollars.
This has been a marvellous growth
of Waukon's fourth bank, for it was
established only seven years ago in q
field we'll dominated by the city's
, three other banks and by other old
and strong institutions in the neigh
boring towns. But the Peoples Ma
tional was we'll founded, is we'll man
aged and has attained marked popu-
larity and confidence by it's broad ami
sterling business policy among its
wide SCOPE of patrons.
The most noteworthy part of it.:
financial growth is the showing or
deposits amounting to over $40, 900
of which tie time deposits alone eX-
coed half million dollars. Ever
year has witnessed substantial in
crease in the banks business, but the
past year has outrivaled them all, fot
the gain in deposits have been almost
S275, 1000. All of this, too, during 4
period of unusual financial demands,
considering the several great war
bond issues and the many contribu.
tions to other funds to which tae peo-
pie of Allamakee have responded 81
generously.
The prosperity and resources Of the
county is manifest in the business
growth of all it's banks. and the
management of.the Peoples National,
while pleased TO share in this bounti-
fulness they do not coyet it all, but
are prompt to approve and praise tae
prosperity and growth of competinS
banks. Their utmost fairness in thin
respect is well known in business cir
cles and is accountable largely for
their own banks wide and increasing
popularity. 1t is a policy that re-
bounds with success in all business
activities.
Relying upon this prosperous con
dition and foreseeing continuous
growth of tie bank, the officers and
stockholders have taken steps to pro
vide adequate quarters for the trans
action of its large business. They
have recently purchased most de-
sirable location in the heart of the
business section of the city where :
row under construction one of the
finest and most commodious banking
houses in the state.
The officials OF the Peoples Nation
al are to be congratulated over this
marked evidence of the bank'G
growth, for it is a fine achievement
to present to their fellow stockhold-
ers, and it also adds to Waukon's
fame for now possessing two million
dollar banks, in addition to two other
banks, whose combined assets total
over a million.-Waukon Democrat.
