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

highway system, ut when, after two

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

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. Williams,
the quartette of the church, consist
ing of Mr. Keeran, Mr. Annan Mrs.

the music.
Rebecca Rounds, whose maiden
name was Rebecca Ann Dean, was
born In Delaware, Ind., In 1828. Mar
ried In her Indiana home, with her
young husband she started for tbe
great unsettled west. 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.

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.

'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

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." J
