Ju < her to relieve the labor shortag* espfe< ially on the farms this spring and during the busy planting season, the passage of a bill authorizing the secretary of war to grant furloughs to men now in the army, so that they might help on the farms or whet'ver there might be a scarcity of labor, is practically assured. The bill gives the secretary of war power to relieve anv labor shortage by the 1

gras tin : ; of furloughs to the soldiers. Os course a thirty cent reduction per ton on the retail price of anthracite coal, as announced by the fuel administrator. will not buy a carload of the precious black diamonds. it will amount to something in the long run. if we are forced to load our bins preparatory for a winter like we have just come out of. The reduction will go into effect April Ist and we sincerely hope that there will be a sufficient supply of coal to go around FOR RE-ELECTION Daily Democrat: Please announce my name as a candidate for trustee of Root township. subject to the decision of the democratic primary to be held May 7.

TO MEASURE MORE — And Boast Less Should be the Aim of the Housekeepers OF UNITED STATES America is Considered a (>ood C ook But an Extravagant One. 1 America is a good cook, but an extra vagaut one She is apt to thio* away perfectly good food, she is apt to make a good loaf of bread or lemon pie on one Thursday and a poor one ■on the next Thursday When the !te lor bread is good she boasts that she never measures anything, when it l ad she boasts not. neither does s.ie apologize: she accepts it as one ceius a rainy day—philosophical!' But America should this day change her habits, boast less and measii.e more, and make nothing but go u bread and good pie A good cook is what is known in the artistic and literary world as a good . raftsman And a good craftsman m (any art means an intelligent worker ( who accomplished his aim most xactly with the least effort. An artist I must know his proportions before he can correct errors and so too. our housekeeper must know exactly what she is doing else on one Thursday -he 'may make a good lemon pie and <n the next a pour lemon l*ie. If you want to make potato l|re_d rolls "like mother used to make.' doa t i just put in some potato, some flour, a 'piece of this and that, but make them < like mother used to make them Potato Bread Rolls —The follow inproportions will yield one dozen small rolls: 8 ounces tabout A* cupt mashed potatoes.

Ind., a noted horse importer of that state. Mr. Frisinger purchased the farm for the purpose of establishing a mid-continental breeding and shipping station. He will use it as a supply farm or depot for shipping horses to his customers in the east and west. The farm will be put in the very best condition possible. and many large and necessary stables, in addition ‘o those already on the farm, will be constructed. Mr Frisinger is recognized as one of the largest importers and breeders of Belgian horses in the west, and probably in the United States, and the establishment of such an enterprise here as he has planned, is a valuable acquisition to the stock interests of this vicinity. The farm consists of 597 acres., practically ail i reclaimed marsh land and involves an investment of $55,000. and as Mr ■ Frisinger contemplates large improvements. it is probable that the investment will approxinnrte SBO,OOO. I This, of course, does not include the value of the live stock, which unquestionably will equal that of the' real estate. —Sturgis Journal.

Swift & Company Publicity ... SKSSSmS! Swift & Company,which showed that the Company had been considering for some time an educational advertising campaign. The need for this publicity has been apparent to us for several years. The gross misrepresentation to w h»ch we have recently been subjected has convinced us that we should no longer delay in putting before the public the basic tacts of our ousiness, relying on the fair-mindedness of the American people. The feeling against the American packer is based largely on the belief that the income and well-being ot the producer and consumer are adversely affected by the packers operations, resulting in unreasonably large profits. Swift & Company’s net profit is reasonable, and rtepresents an insignificant factor in the cost of living. For the fiscal year 1917 the total sales and net profit of Swift & Company were as follows: Sales $875,000,000. -I Profits — $34,650,000. B This is equivalent to a $3,465. profit on a business of $87,500. ®lf Swift & Company had made no profit at all, the cattle raiser would have received only one-etghth of a cent per pound more for his cattle, or the consumer would have saved only one-quarter of a cent per pound on dressed beef.

EJ THE BOY NEXT DOOR (By Will M Cressy) I didn I vote for Wilson, 1 never liked him much.

The gold-rimtned. pinch-nose glasses gave a sort of dudish touch. I didn't like his methods; disliked his friends still more; But the one that has changed me—was the boy next door. My life’s been pretty happy; I've had i a lot of joys. We've only had one sorrow ; we never | had no boys. But I've got a little daughter; and 1 know she has a store Os love, and treat. and longing, f >r the boy next door. And when that fateful day arrived when we knew we'd go to fight. I forgot the way l*d voted, for our president was right. 1 couldn’t go to battle: I was old. and stiff, and sore; But the first one that enlisted was the boy next door. And. by the gods. I'm right behind him. with every cent I’ve got. To bay him food and shelter and powder. guns and shot. And if God will just watch o'er him and bring him back once more I expect I’ll be a Daddy to that !>oy next door. Now there's lots of us old fellers, rw old to go and fiybt; With no sons to represent us and battle for the right. But we can give our money as we never did before 'And love—and hope— and courage—- ! to the boy next door. — O WANTED—PIace on farm by month I j or year, by married man oxpericne-l cd in farm work.
