Those so-called German-Americans, whose actlrltles were so nau seating before the war, hare cause to congratulate themselrea that the federal government didn't' think of deportation until tbe reds made themselves even more obnoxious. Re cent reports Indicate that Germany Is not a pleasant place In which to live. High though our prices mar be. we are living cheaply indeed When the cost of necessaries in this country Is compared with those in Germany. Ham, for Instance, is celling In Berlin at $4.75 per pound; beef and veal cost only $1.50 to 2.00 for sixteen ounces. Wheat flour Is 35 cents per pound, coffee 35 cents per cup, coal $47 a ton. A man's suit sells for $170 and up, a woman's dress $140 and up, and man, by furnishing the leather, can have a pair of shoes made for about $50. If It could only be arranged to have those soviet arks drop Into come German port, there would soon be a number of tame radicals. The board of county commission ers deserve ' considerable credit for their appointment of R. E. Knight as highway commissioner. Mr. Knight was not a candidate for the position, CO in this case the place sought the man. There were plenty of appli cants for the Job, which Is a good one so far as salary Is concerned, bat the commissioners saw that what was needed was an executive, not a anan to do the actual work of road making. There are a lot of folks Who do not yet know' Just what is contemplated under, the new state highway system, ut when, after two or three years more, they will have Mtt nnnnrtnnltT In baa hrw ihn nlnnn work out, there'll be an end to crit icism. The fact is generally con ceded that more money has been how for it than In almost any line of public improvement. eradicate the so-called social dis eases. For years vpnereal diseases have taken a frightful toll Of human life and have left untold suffering in their wake, and due largely to a false sense of modesty, nothing was done In a pulic way to put a stop to them. The last legislature, which must have been a more Intelligent and courageous body than the average citizen, gave it credit for being, passed a law which .declared these diseases contagious and empowered the state board of health to take nec essary steps to control them. The state department is going forward earnestly, with the will to accomplish results. When they find a city or town unwilling to co-operate, they step in and do the work themselves. Strangely enough, they are finding some places where the officials and physicians are averse to doing their part. There Is a danger line even In matters of public health. It may be unwise to grant authority to enforce vaccination when a large proportion of the medical men say that it does more harm than good But no one can object to the control of syphilis, even though It be necessary to pub licly quarantine the patient. .. More power to them. Another realty big thing 1b the . movement now well under war tn Denver tramway employes have submitted a budget showing that It costs $2,324 a year to support a fam ily of five in that city and maintain a decent standard of living. The fig ures seem be moderate enough, and yet mighty few heads of families are drawing down that much salary. Here they are, and you may decide for yourself as to whether they are exaggerated: Groceries, meat, fish, milk, $877.24; housing, light and gas, $336; clothing (man), $120; clothing (woman), $128; clothing (boy nine years), $88; clothing (girl three years), $50; clothing (boy seven years), $79; fuel, $50; sick ness (doctor, dentist, occullst), $85; education, $25; household cnulp- ment, $75; Insurance, $40; savings, $100; miscellaneous, $52; recrea tion, $52; lodges (union, fraternal, tramway), $36; laundry, $31.

I Converted in her early married life, she first Joined the Methodist Episcopal church at Ottumwa, la., in 1855. On coming to Clarinda, she at once identified herself with the Methodist peorle In this community possibly being a charter member of the first church. She has seen the local church grow to Its present pro portions. Hers was earnest Christ like character, and all were her friends. She retained her mental faculties to a remarkable degree to the very last, always taking an active interest in all the affairs of the day. Her love for her old home town, where she and her children reared their family, was very great. Age with Its Infirmities compelled her to spend the winters with her children, who always counted It a privilege to care for her, but on the coming of MRS. REBIXX'A ROUNDS At the advanced age of more than the allotted four score years and ten, Mrs. Rebecca Rounds died In Alli ance, Neb.,r at tbe home of. her daughter, Mrs. Delia Mallery, on Jan uary 7. The remains were brought here for burial, the funeral being held Sunday afternoon, January 11, from the Clarinda Methodist church, being laid to rest In Clarinda ceme tery, in what Is said to have been the first lot purchased from the orig inal plat of the cemetery. Mrs. Rounds was a part of the early history of this vicinity, the family having lived out on W. State street, on what is now the Chant Harland place. The funeral services Sunday were conducted by the Meth odist pastor. Rev. J. M.

They . first stopped at Ottumwa, la., In 1855, staying there until the following year, 18 56, then came to what is now know as Clarinda, where her home has been ever sinre. It will be seen that she was one of the very oldest Bettlers of this community. She was the mother of thirteen children, six of whom are now liv ing, the husband having died several years ago. The children remaining to tenderly remember her are P. W. Rounds of Arcadia, Neb., George S. Rounds of Ord, Nob.. Mrs. Mary r summer her little Clarinda home al ways drew her back among the friends of her former years. From the Clarinda (la.) Herald of Janu ary 15, 1920. L. E.

Phone 57 114 West Fourth St. n Rumeiy on Piil TRACTOR Proved by 10 Years' Farm Work Choosing a tractor by what it has done and not by what it may do, is a pretty safe way to go about it. Ton years of work in the hands of owners, under every possible kind and condition of work that a tractor can go up against, has proved the dependability of the OilPull. The first OilPulls went into the west to break up the virgin prairie they "made good," delivering day after day, month after month and year after year of continuous service under the toughest conditions you can put a tractor to. Not onlv did they do the work they "stood the gaff" and today you'll find those first OilPulls still on the job, and good for many a season more. s This ten year test has not only proved the correctness of OilPull design and con struction, but in these ten years the OilPull tractor has built up a record of continuous reliable, economical operation unequalled in the tractor industry. OIL BURNING,-' . OIL COOLED . and 1 ' ; GUARANTEED - '12-20 OIL PULL 3 Plow The latest ami smallest of the Oilrull family lipht in weight, liig in power a real OilPull from start to finish. It will pull three 14-inch . plowg and ..operate a 22-inch thresher fully equipped. ' 16-30 OIL PULL 4 Plow Official tests have proved the power and economy of. operation that the 16-30 is delivering to its owners. It pulls four 14-inch bottoms, an 8-foot grader and runs a 28-inch separator fully equipped. , . .. . 20-40 OIL PULL 5-6 Plow The 20-40 is a most popular thresh ing engine, with its big power and 'automatic control of speed. It will pull up to six 14-inch plows, a 21-inch separator fully equipped and & 10-foot road grader. 30-60 OIL PULL 8-10 Plow The "Big Boy," the 30-60, was the OilPull pioneer, a big capacit outfit for all power jobs. It will pull eight to1 ten 14-inch bottoms, a 12-foot grader and operates the largest thresher built. Backed by a Written Guarantee And as if it were not enough that throughout all these years the OilPull has proved its ability to operate successfully on all grades of kerosene, Advance-Eumely gives you an absolute guarantee in writing that it will do so. The fact that the OilPull is the only tractor that carries such a fair and square written guarantee tells a big story in itself. Couple up with this OilPull system of cooling the hot riveted steel fram the heavy duty motor steel cut gears enclosed and running in oil automatic speed control Hyatt roller iearings patented front axle shifting device two speeds ease of handling and accessibility and last but not least, Advance-Rumely's 27 branch offices and distributing warehouses, and you have the reasons why an OUPull owner won't change except "to bur another OilPull."
