RECRUITING STATION
HERE NOT TO CLOSE,
H0LMSTRANO BELIEVES

Unless army recruiting stations
throughout the country are all
closed by the resolution in congress
ordering the army reduced from
$4,000 to $4,000 men the local
station will probably not be closed,
recruiting will doubtless
remain curtailed. Sergeant Ernest
Holmstrand, officer in charge
stated yesterday.
The local station is accepting no
recruits, a wire ordering suspension
having been received yesterday.
Associated Press dispatches indl-
Gated that men may re-enlist, out
that no others will be accepted
There are now four men here on
duty under Sergeant Holmstrand'
No orders have been received as
to their disposition. Private Ru-
dolph stone, who came here when
the Santa Fe station was closed
last week, was previously ordered
to El Paso from whore he will re-
port to his regiment at Camp
Travis.

in the larger economic movements
for betterment of rural life. The
State school Superintendent gave the
amazing information that 1000 one
room schools had been consolidated,
a wonderful movement towards bet
ter education.
The county agents, the farmers
organizations, and the State College
authorities everywhere are exerting
an enormous influence towards i'm
proved community life and it is our
belief that the county press and all
other progressive agencies should as
sist them in every way, without
limit. Particularly should there be
more work of this kind in our coun-
try towns.

me he advised them to keep it and
the endorsement on my application
so indicates.
Attorney Boice appeared before the
board in my behalf and the salient
points of his argument were that the
$52.70 was never due the county,
that it had no moral right to it and
only a technical legal one. That if
there was any law prohibiting the
return of the money to its rightful
owner he should be glad to see it.
No such law was shown him. The
chairman of the board consolinely
informed me that | would be all
right after this but manifested salts
faction at having got anead of me
s52.70 this time through my ignor-
ance of an exemption as a civil war
veteran.
The assessor says he did not know

my Grand Army emblem was in
plain sight and constantly worn, a
more honorable decoration than the
Golden Fleece, Roman Eagle, Victoria
Cross or any other secular insignia
because it betokens a part in the
saving of the Union, the greatest
nation the sun ever shone upon.
But that service seemed to count
for little with the SNUG supervisors
of Winneshiek county. One of them
wanted to know if there was another
veteran of the civil war in the coun-
ty and seemed depressed when |

Well we won't bother them long

not like veterans, they Jared badly

100000.
Origin of Blaze Unknown; Insurance

Frank Towards general store,
the Fox drug store, Carl Lubbers

The origin of the fire is unknown.
The Monona hotel was damaged
slightly and was saved only after
heroic efforts by the fire fighters of
Monona and Luana.
For time the fire seriously
threatened the entire business dis

BETTER COMMUNITY LIFE.
II is a Wonder That All States Do
Not Act in This Important
Matter.

We wonder how many states in the
union are taking as strong and eff
cient an interest in community life
as Iowa? 1t is to wonder why all
states do not act in this important
matter because the life of our COM
munities is the very life of the ma
ton.
This editor has just been reading
the report of the recent Second Iowa
Rural Life Conference" held, we as
sumo, in the halls of the State Col
lege Of Agriculture. The home,
church, school and club as factors in
the creation of common level of
high community fellowship and
Ineighborness was discussed by Rev.
Peter Jacobs, who has given a sue
cessful demonstration of his subject
matter at Randolph. Another speaker
gave facts about home demonstrate
ion agents and the successful efforts
of farm bureau women in getting hot
lunches in every school in Iowa coun-
ty.
Much successful community work
by the Y. w. C. A., the Y. M. c..
A. and the Red Cross, was described.

crease of community singing. Presi-

eaus, dwelt upon important progress

again overruled technical statutes,
robbing the citizen. Most notable of
all the Myra Gaines case in which
her New Orleans property was stol-

own, wrung from ignorant tax pay

The present suit of the federal trade commission

suit, being heard at Washington, D. Co. was

While it's enemies have been fighting it, by fair

many states the necessity and the progress in de-

utimatum in the den of the bulls and bears in

told the approach of the farmers marketing move

of childish boyish glee over the ninth inning of the
game. 1t is just the first inning and the farmers
are at bat. No one has reached first base yet-and
the same old grain gang that has fought the Equity
for decade hopes ever will reach first base
Probably in their many gatherings, only occasional
inklings of which drift to the press outside they
still have hopes that something may split the farm
ers' efforts and leave the gang in control. But it
is also known that they are nervous, Their long
fight has apparently been lost. It will be lost en-
tirely If the series of conferences now being
held succeed in welding the existing organizations
into firm support for the new corporation
How will it be financed? What effect will it have
on the organizations in the field? Will it use
the boards of trade? Will it establish big bank
of its own and ignore the present banking system?
These are some of the questions now flooding per-
haps every of the 21 directors and certainly
these are the questions being asked of every person
who so much as presumes to speak for the new PLAN
The conferences in progress will answer
most of these questions to the satisfaction of ALL
