Willsie Buys Fine Boar.

The following from a Charles City
paper is an account of Leonard Nc
CURE, a former Ossian boy and bet
ter known to his young comrads as
"Red." He is a son of Mr.. and Mrs.
j. l.. Mcclure. Mr.. Mcclure former
ly conducted drug store in Ossian
and is well known. Read what Leo
nard has done:
One of the members of the pig
club was Leonard Mcclure who lives
just west of Charles City about three
miles. A sow in pig by "The Pilot"
the Linderman boar, fell to his lot
in the drawing last winter. The sow
narrowed 8 and raised 5, 2 boars and
3 gifts. One of the boars took first
prize in his class at the North Iowa
fair this fall. At the fair Leonard
refused 5000 for the pig. In the Pig
club sale the old SOW sold for sos,
the two gifts at S55 each and other
boar at $500. When the prize boar
was put on the block Leonard's faith
er was criticised because he bid the
boar in at $245.00. Last Saturday
Mr.. G. H. Willsie of Prosper, Mimi,
called at Linderman's. He had spent
several days looking around Mime
sofa and Northern Iowa for a boar,
without finding what he wanted. Mr..
Linderman took him over to Nc
CURES where he seemed to be very
glad to buy Leonard's boar for $780,
90. This makes a total of 100000
that Leonard has received for his
old SOW and four of her pigs. He still
has young SOW, the best one in the
lot, left.

Coal Brings Out the Band.

Harmony, Mimi, News: About
the most thrilling event that has
transpired in Harmony lately was
the receipt of two carloads of hard
coal which arrived here Friday
morning. 1t was met by large dele
cation and the Harmony Band.
One can readily surmise that the
band didn't neglect to cut loose, too,

The Social Season.

Many people who are sour and
rusty in the bosom of their own
families, blossom out with sparkle
and gaiety under the stimulus of
social pleasures.
Various pursuits serve as camou-
tagged means for getting the two
sexes together. If there are no dane
es, the young people will meet at
the church lecture. Some who are
silent under ordinary conditions be-
come fluent conversationalists under
the stimulus afforded by the other
sex. Boys who were very weary
through she day, become able to
undergo hard labor at the dancing
schools. Girls whose head ached
studying lessons, burdened their me-
mories with long sequences of cards
at the bridge tables.
The human being is a social ami
NAL, and these pursuits are pre-
fectly normal. Only a constant sue
cession of late hours handicaps any
person as regards those aims of sue

Great Interest Has Been Shown in
the Work and Number Fine
Prizes Have Been Awarded
MORE LIBERAL PRIZES
TO BE GIVEN IN 1921
Washington Township Carried Away
First and Second HonOrs in the
County Market Pig Club

Work with the young people, edu-
cational as well as productive, and
known as club work has sbeen car
ried on throughout the county for
several years. This work was given
good boost in Winneshiek county
last spring by the Farm Bureau.
Prizes were offered in different lines
such as Market Pig, Pure Bred Gilt,
and Corn Clubs. Besides this, special
prizes were offered under certain
conditions by business men in Fl.
Atkinson and by farmer in Bloom
field township.
George A. Bieber, the hardware
man, and the Home Savings Bank
at Fit. Atkinson provided SIP to be
awarded for first and second places
in the Market Pig Club to club
members in Precinct No. 2, Wash
ington township-$7 for first and
So for second. Woodside Farm, A.
w. Oxley & Son, set aside SO for
first prize in Market Pig Club work
provided that the county champion
was from Bloomfield township, also
an additional $40 should the county
winner come from their school dist
riot. Since the above contributions
did not materialize, the special priz-
es for Bloomfield township were not
available.
CYRIL Barta and Marie Tekippe,
both of Washington township were
fortunate in carrying away first and
second honors respectively in the
county Market Pig Club this year.
They are the winners of the special
prizes awarded by the hardware man
and the bank at Fl. Atkinson. Be-
sides this, they get the county prizes
awarded by the Farm Bureau as ex-
planned later.
The Farm Bureau awarded prizes
in the Market Pig, Pure Bred Gilt,
and Corn Growing Clubs as follows:
First prize Sc.
Second prize SIS.
Third prize $4.
SO for any club member who COM
pleted the work and submitted all
reports in good shape. In the Gilt
Club prizes were awarded for the
different breeds. The members of this
club will enter the Pure Bred Sow
and Litter Club in 1921.
The following received first and
second in the order named in the
various clubs:
Market Pig Club-Cyrill Barta,
Fit. Atkinson, Marie Tekippe, Fl. At
knson; Corn Growing Club-Leland

The Farm Bureau plans on award
ing even more liberal prizes in 1921.
We hope that large number of our
boys and girls throughout the coun-
ty will take advantage of these Of
fers and enjoy the work with the
other clubs. About 100 entered the
work last spring. A large per cent
age of them finished their work.
Many of the members of the Pure
Bred Gilt Club brought theirs to

grounds recently. Attractive ribbons

Whenever it is necessary to use hot water tor cooking or making tea, fresh " boiled water will give much better results than water taken from the hot water pipes. In the average house the water in the hot water tank stands for at least 24 hours without an entire cnange.. To be sure fresh water does refin the tank from time to time, but IS not fresh as is the water in the 'eold water pipes.

 My Own Recipes
 There is more than one reason for serving sugar and cream with baked apple. The cream furnishes a rich ness to both taste and nourishment. Cut down on the allowance of meat and use real cream once in a while A thin family should increase the amount of fat in it's diet and there is no better way to do it than by eating cream on things. It is not extravagant.

CLEANED KNIFE ON A REMBRANp

BERLIN,-The bolshevist Rabotchi Golos publishes lament on vandalism
 from which the great Russian galler-
 ies have suffered. About two dozen
 precious Teniers and Rembrandts. it
 says, were stolen from the hermitage
 gallery when the contents of the gall cry were being packed for removal in the summer of 1917.
 These pictures had been sold to deal- CTS whose shops were plundered by bolshevist commissaries and other functionaries. These resold the pie lures which gradually disappeared. Recently in a rubbish shop was dis ! covered a Teniers, taken from the Hermitage, which the shopkeeper had cut all round to make fit a frame. In ! a peasants hut, near Moscow was dis ! covered the Head of a Woman" by l Rembrandt The frame was gone, the 1 picture was cracked and torn. and the peasants wife had used the back of the canvas for cleaning knives.-London l Times.

But he takes good care to find out about my financial af- fairs every month! While never ask him where one penny of his own money goes to! He's so sensitive! I couldn't bear to hurt him.

 Suddenly my dear newly weds, Deb and Ted flashed into my mind. They were on the same plane of ethics when they married. They possessed a com munity of tastes and interests rather than of passion.
 What contrast they were to Martha and Ewart Palmer, who had been SC
 iolently in love with each other when hey were married, who had let them

 A man who could assume that whel his wife was giving him the best tha was in her. must be quite dead to tn inner law, the law of conscience.

A very useful article for cleaning gloves is a wooden shape in the form of a hand.
 Stretch the gloves on the wooden hands and rub thoroughly with @ piece of flannel dipped in gasoline. The strokes should be downward, from fingers to wrist and care should be taken to do this work in the open or al least away from any heat, A clean piece of flannel should be used as soon as 9 piece is soiled. When the gloves are absolutely dry. dust them with tall cum powder They will then be as soft as when they were new.
