This morning at the home of her
daughter. Mrs. Joseph F. Eicheid,
Mrs. Dan Moore, formerly of this
city, passed away at Fort Dodge, la.,
aged nearly seventy years. Until
about two years ago when she moved
to Fort Dodge, Mrs. Moore resided
in Plattsmoutji for a number of
years, living 011 south Seventh street
just west of the Henry Hess place,
in the house where T." B. Farmer
now resides. Her husband fell from
a building on which he was working
about four years ago and was killed.
Mrs. Moore had a cancer removed
from her breast some few years ago
n the hope that it would result in
her recovery, but instead her condi
tion grew gradually worse, until the
end came this morning. The fun

Refuse to Buy Them and Let Brave Men Die
While you are at home tonight beside the warm
Ore, many American boys over there in France will be
out in the cold in blood-smeared trenches.
Tonight, while you are in your warm, snus bed,
your own sou or your neighbor's son "over there" may
be (lodging death from bomb and fchrapuel.
The boys in the trenchers have loaned their lives
for you: won't you loan your money for them loan it
at 4 per cent compound interest, the highest rate the
government has ever paid.
Buy U. S. War Savings Stamps and you save the
lives of American soldiers; refuse to buy and you let
brave men die.
The government must have money now. The de
cision is soon to be made for or against America. Which
way it will go depends upon you.
The more money loaned the government the soon
er the war will end and the less American blood will
be shed.
You can buy War Savings Stamps in 25-cent sizes,
known as "Thrift Stamps" and $5 sizes, known as "War
Savings Certificate Siamps." They are sold at the post
otfice, at the banks and at stores.

practical value in our scientific

results from the experience of the j
most successful hard-headed prac

At a time like the present, when
the nation is engaged in a great war
wherein food production is of vital
military importance, the value of the
county agent to the Government can
hardly be over emphasized.
Since the United States became a
belligerent, the county agent has
done valiant war service. In coun
ties having agents, it was possible
during the past summer to secure
truly wonderful results, in quickly
and adequately meeting a difficult
labor situation; in locating available
seed stocks; in arranging for farm
credits for the purchase of machinery
and fertilizer; in supplying tractor
power, and in other forms of effec
tive leadership, all contributing to a
great increase in the production of
spring wheat, oats, corn, potatoes
and other food crops, and. finally in
assisting in facilitating marketing.
Some of the most important battles
of this war will be won during 191 S
