Tobacco Growers
Rally.

The countrywide rally of the
tobacco growers, held in Leonard
town on Saturday last, was well
attended, despite the rainy
weather, a good representation
being present from each district.
Director Stevenson made a short
address explaining the plans of
the association for the benefit of
those were not familiar with them
and asked the farmers to sign
the contracts. The alacrity with
which the growers complied with
his request and pledged them
selves to support the organization
was the best proof that they are
thoroughly awake to the neces-
sity Of concerted action if the
raising of tobacco is to be main
tanned on a paying basis. Every
grower who could not attend the
meeting should secure a contract
from the county agent or an Off
Ger of the association, read it
carefully and after being satisfied
that it is designed and drawn to
protect his interests and insure a
fair return for his crops, should
sign and return it to the county
secretary, Leonardtown.
The association plans to open
selling headquarters on January
/, and all contracts should be in
before that time in order that
there shall be no further delay
and to eliminate the danger of
this years crop being placed on
the market withoutKthe protec-
ton to the growers interests
that can only be secured through
strong cooperation.

FOOD FOR all THE WORLD
No Fear Of Starvation While the Ba.
mana Grows With Its Present
Wonderful ProdioaIity.

Concerning the value Of banana flour
there is no possible question. Henry
NJ. Stanley, while he was In Darkest
Africa, tested that matter thoroughly.
For something like two years it was
one of the staple foods on which he
lived. and his testimony regarding 1t
is both clear and convincing, though
the flour he had was made in the most
primitive fashion, by the natives
among whom he was living, and was
not comparable, save in the single
particular of cost, with the -four that.
has been produced and is being pro.
duced today in New York city.
The worlds available supply Of ba.
naDas lis practically ineXhaustible.
Growing wild as the banana does with
all the excessive prodigality Of trop-
fcal vegetation, in localities far out
side the ken Of civilization, there is
no way of estimating the possible ex-
tent Of the annual crop, but it may be
said that enough bananas to feed the
world grow somewhere each year.
Moreover, modern science has dis
covered the methods by which this
banana flour can be made Of the par-
tally ripe fruit In such fashion that
it will keep almost Indefinitely almost
anywhere.

had acquired peculiar hardened

It seems that the man had had an
unusual boyhood. While others were
at their sport, his hours were spent in
passionate reverie. The literature Of
romantic chivalry, the story Of fol-
lowers Of the Cross, the fine heroism Of
soul-starving deeds for others claimed
him and made him tremulous with as
piration. He knew of nothing larger,
more captivating for him than a life
eked out in some remote field of self
sacrifice for the redemption of the hui
man race. And to this he pledged HIM
self. But then his father died. Ruin
was the specter at the funeral feast.

CARL JOSEPH KEPFoRD

,ARION Iowa, Special to Review
Although there had been several
reports of Carl Kepford being wound.
ed some time in October, no official
notice was received OF his death until
November 10Th, informing the par
ents that he had died OF wounds some
where in France on November 4th.
Carl was the third son OF Mr.. and
Mrs. Joseph Kepford, born August
ia, 1895, being at the time Of his death
20 years, 2 months and IL days old
He was educated in Orion and Dow
City schools, until his last year, when
he went to Des Moines to finish from
an accredited high school, graduating
the following June in 1915 with high
honors, from West High.
The following year he went to Oma-
ha to fit himself for a business man
and was taking two-year business
course at Boyles' college when he was
called to the colors, April 30, 1918.
His only regret when leaving was
that he should have gone before, but
he went brayely to serve for his God
and country, for, he said, il he asked
for exemption to help with the farm
work Gas he was badly needed at home
it meant someone else must go in his
place. w
h Carl was at Camp Dodge two weeks
was then transferred to Camp Travis,
where he stayed but two weeks, ar
irving in France in July. He was in
the fighting lines at the front three
times, went over the top once, and it
was in the last great battle he was
wounded in the abdomen and lived
about a week.

Of cheer. and written as II he were

AWAIT VERDICT ON OSTRICH
II Arizona Reports Favorably. Big
Bird May Take Its Place as a
National Food.
please pass the ostrich"

This request may be heard soon in
the public eating places and the din-
ing rooms of the private homes Of
Washington. Stranger things than the
serving of nice roast ostrich, with
plenty Of gravy and dressing, have hap
pened during these war times.
The future popularity of this bird
as an American dish depends to a
large extent upon the success to be
met in Arizona, where they are being
introduced as food now.
The federal food administrator for
Arizona has granted permission to the
owner of one of the largest ostrich
farms in America, situated near Phe-
nix, to slaughter 800 of his birds This
ostrich raiser reports that the birds
are in excellent condition, and when
Killed will be dressed and placed on
the market at an extremely low price
probably Is cents pound The 500
birds will make about $4,000 poundsiof
dressed meat.
This war is responsible in two ways
for this action on the part of the os-5
trich raiser. In the first place, the lat
ter would never think of slaughtering
these valuable, IL not overtender, BIRDS
but for the fact that the war has put
the ostrich plume more or less out of
business. In the second place, the
war shortage Of meat is responsible
for the issuance of the order permit
ting the slaughter and sale. IL
And thus it comes to pass that Ari-
zona, or a part Of her population, at
least, is preparing to observe and eel
citrate .Ostrich day." Meanwhile the
rest Of the nation is waiting to hear
the verdict to be passed upon this
bird asa nice, tasty, and tender food I
aside from its neck.
Officials Of the food administration
are rather optimistic about the future
of the ostrich as a food. They point
to the tremendous hit whale meat has
made in various sections; even shark
steaks have been passed upon and
approved, and reindeer meat is making
the hit Of the year in the West.-Wasl-
tngton Star.
