Burwetl Girl Dons Feminalls and
Brings Load of Hogs to Market
Shades and traditions of the wild
and woolly west The day of the stock
man is to be eclipsed by the stock
woman. Attired in a suitIof khaki
feminalls the first stock-woman arrived
at the South Side market yesterday
morning from an eastbonnd freight
car with a load of hogs which she
had raised.
Nineteen-year-old Hazel Grunke-
meyer, daughte of F. A. Grunkemey
er of Burwell. holds this unique honor
of being the first girl to bring a car
load of live stock to market unac
companied. Her father was very busy
on the ranges and administering
Hoover's rules for Garfield county,
where he is food administrator, and her
foster brother is in Uncle Sam's navy.
Some one had to bring the stock to
market and contribute bit to win
ning the war, so why not she.
Ou'cklv donninsr a suit of femi
nalls and placing a khakj cap with a
visor on her curly hair, she rounded
up the hogs in the pen, watched them
being loaded and hopped on the ca
boose of the train that bore them to
the Omaha market
She created Quite a sensation when
she arrived yesterday morning with
her load of hosts, which were market
ed at $18.50, a price which showed that
they were some of the best stock of
fered yesterday. ;
"This is not the first time that I
hive had to do a man's work and
It s not going to be the last," said
Miss Grunkemeyer as she recounted
the adventures of her trip. "The boys
are all going to war and if the farm
work il to go on and this country
and our allies lire to be fed, we must
all get busy and do what we can,
I simply love stock raising and
have been helping around the farm as
long as I can remember. In winter I
go to a musical institute in Kansas
City. I have not decided in what 1
am going to specialize in.

at the office of the Shelton Clipper:
1 have in my store a clerk named
Earl Palmer, who is in Class 1 in
the draft and with many other men
in that class in the county has not
yet been called. A itory was circu
lated that I had gone to the county
board and asked to have Palmer
placed in a deferred class. Complaint
was also made that Clifford Reed,
one oi the publishers of the Shelton
Clipper, had not been called. He was
and is in Class 2 on account of his
"About that time a young man with
a wife and child in a lower class was
moved to the first class and this
seemed to arouse great feeling. Other
rumors started and when I learned
of them, I made a public denial of
them, but the painter daubed my store
door, the Clipper1 office windows and
Mrs. Palmer's porch. . ,
"This aroused more feelinar add the
city marshal, with S. A. D. Henniner-
er, ehairman of the local Council of
Defense, and M. J. Kithcart went to
Kearney to investigate the truth of
the charges against Mr. Palmer and
Mr. Reed. - .. ; "
"In the meantime the county attor
ney and sheriff were in Shelton and
made an investigation. , Saturday
evening a young man named Cox
came to Mr. Palmer and said, '1 can
bring, to yon the man who painted
your mother's house. This was a

room. This was unknown to mvself
until I saw them go in and c!ose the

Knocked down. Then I rushed out

One: Cereal That
Needs No Sugar
GrpeNuti needs no suf ar t
Unlike most cereal foods it contains its own
natural sweetening, obtained through the
famous Grape-Nuts process from the wheat

This natural sweet is the starch of the grain
changed into a healthful, life-giving sugaiC
This change is brought about by the ferment,
diastase, in barley malt, and by long baking.
The. result is a wonderful food, easy to di
