OUR ANNOUNCEMENT OF THE NEW BRUNSWICK METHOD OF RE
PRODUCTION BRINGS COUNTY-WIDE INTEREST
APPEARS that every music lover has been waiting for such an
II instrument as the new Brunswick—America's latest musical triumph,
made by The Brunswick-Balke-Collender Co.
People say that our claims for it are too modest. The Brunswick
Method of Reproduction is so much better, so far superior that praise is
indeed fulsctane.
You, too, must hear this remarkable new instrument. You can't ap
preciate the great advance it represents until you hear it.
You'll be delighted with The Ultona, whieh plays every record, and
with the Brunswick Amplifier.
These two great invention^ make The Brunswick the most perfect
phonograph ever conceived. As you'll agree. You've never before heard
such natural tones. All previous conceptions of good tone will be changed.
Come in today. Join the most critical muaic-lovers in town,
this super-phonograph.
Let us play the most difficult selections, such as piano or orchestral
records, and you'll be amazed.

A SILO FREE!
To the man that buys one, as you are losing the price of a silo
every year you go without one.
Yes, we're back again about that silo—cement stave you remember.
We don't want you to feel that we are unduly persistent. It's not
that. We firmly believe that some day you will build a silo. What we
want to make clear is why you should build now.
You may think that we just want to sell another silo. Of course
we do, but there's more in it than that. It's the most practical kind of
patriotism, combined with hard business sense, to build silos and to
use silos, so that every farmer can feed more live stock from the same
acreage. You know the story of ten talents. The time has come when
It applies to ten acres as well.
Every farmer is a feeding unit and Bhould be just as efficient as
our fighting units at the front.
It isn't a question of being able to afford a silo now. The man
who feels he cannot afford it is the one who needs it most, and least
of all can afford putting it off. Materials and labor are uncertain.
Ordering your silo early is the only way to escape this uncertainty.
You are paying for a silo each year without getting it, and we've
said we'd show you how you can build a silo even though you think
you can't afford it at this time. We're ready right now to back up
what we say. If you think we're not come and see. That's all we
want.
As to the kind of a silo to build, we still stick to the cement stave.
If you know any reason why we should not, let us know.
May we hear from you?

MANCHESTER RAKERS AT BIG
MEETING.
Thomas McKeag and B. C. Hall were
at Burlington, Iowa, last week where
they attended the Trans-MissisBippi
Master Bakers' convention, and re
turned home the last of the week, af
ter getting numerous pointers on the
food situation.
Promise that if the American wheat
crop goes to 850 millions of bushels
this year it will be possible to return
to former standards of milling and
baking, and a reaffirmed purpose to
combine for the patriotic realization
of the government's program of food
conservation were the outstanding
features of the convention of bakers.
The message about the wheat crop
came directly from Herbert C. Hoov
er, federal food administrator and was
repeated by his friend, W. C. Edgar,
of Minneapolis. In the meantime, Mr.
Hoover cautioned the bakers that ev
en higher percentages than the 25 per
cent, of substitutes now required in
the making of white bread, may be
come necessary. To this suggestion
the bakers of Iowa, Kansas, Nebraska
and Missouri responded by a resolu
tion passed unanimously to comply
in letter and in spirit with all sug
gestions from the government
The bakers of these states, in com
mon with those of other states, are
combining in a service committee
whereby the knowledge and experi
ence of anyone is available to all.
This will result in the dissemination
of technical knowledge of the baking
craft, without a parallel in industrial
history.
A feature of the Burlington conven
tion was a display and contest among
the bakers in the production of a Vic
tory loaf. The competition was very
close. In the opinion of experts many
of the loaves entered were in every
way equal to bread made from pure
wheat flotir. Soffit go so far as to s$y
that ft Certain percentage of other cer
eals will be employed in baking, even
after the war.
The bakers of this community and
consequently the public will have the
advantage of knowledge and sugges
tions gained at Burlington last week.
GOLDEN JUBILEE.
The hustling town of Ryan has been
the scene of many elaborate celebra
tions, but rarely, if ever, has it wit
nested one of greater splendor than
the golden wedding/bf Mr. and Mrs.
Patrick Behan on Tuesday, April 23d.
The early hours Were dark and cloudy
with rain and snow falling alternate
ly as the morning wore on the sun
began to appear find by noon a per
fect day had typified the joyful hearts
of the hosts of relatives and friends
who had assembled to rejoice with
the esteemed jubilarians. Long be
fore the appointed hour teams and
autos were discharging their passen
gers in front of St. Patrick's church
which was soon comfortably filled.
Precisely at half past ten the altar
boys and priests marched into the
sanctuary and occupied the places as
signed them by the master of cere
monies. Mr. and Mrs. Behan came
from the Opposite sacristy into the
chancel, where they remained during
the services. After the chanting of
the litany by the ten priests present,
solemn high mass was celebrated by
Rev. Patrick Behan, pastor of Bless
ing, son of the jubilarians, with Fath
ers Thomas Conry, of Dubuque, col
lege deacon D. Lonergan, of Mason
ville, sub-deacon, and P. O. O'Connor,
of Oelwein, master of ceremonies. A
short sermon was delivered by Father
Malloy, pastor of Ryan. He told the
significance of the occasion and fit
tingly eulogized Mr. and Mrs. Behan,
holding them up as an example of the
true Christian father and mother.
The Ryan choir was at its best in
rendering Rosewig's Mass in G, and
elicited many compliments from the
visitors. At noon a reception and
sumptous banquet were held in St.
Patrick's hall. The spacious building
was tastily decorated in white and
gold, with a profuse display of Amer
ican flags and the national colors. The
music was furnished by Mr. and Mrs.
Joseph Ryan of Sioux City. The fact
that they have been selected to play
in the military camps bespeaks their
artistic skill. The priests were called
upon for speeches and all acquitted
themselves most happily. Their themes
were facetious, felicitous, and patri
otic. Father Behan responded in be
half of his father and mother, and
extended thanks to all for having hon
ored the occasion with their presence
and expressed his regrets that owing
to lack of space in any hall in Ryan,
they were not privileged to Invite their
host of friends, whom they would be
delighted to have with them. He at
tributed the same reason for the abj
sence of his numerous friends among
the clergy—those present being neigh
bors and personal friends of his father
and mother. At the end of the pro
gram, the audience arose and sang
"The Star Spangled Banner," shook
hands with the jubilarians, congratu
lated them and wished them many
years of health, peace and happiness.
Among the many rich gifts of gold
which they received was a well-filled
purse, the offering of their nine chil
dren and thirty-six grandchildren.
Patrick and Mrs. Behan were both
born in Ireland and came to this coun
try when they were quite young. They
spent several years in Springfield,
Massachusetts, wherjte 1858 they
were united in matrimony. The same
year they cast their lots with those
who were going west to develop that
vast, unknown country. They came
by rail to Chicago and as far west as
the railroads extended and then took
their limousine, which was at that
time an ox-cart. They ambled along
with a few other pioneers and when
they came to Delaware county and
saw the level country and rich soil
they said "Aalabama," which means,
"here we rest," and for the last fifty
years they made their home on a farm
near Ryan. Nine children were born
to them, all of whom .are living and
are as follows: Mrs. Michael Sheeley,
Monti, Iowa Mrs. John Vinton, Whit
man, Nebraska Mrs. John Cashman,
Ryan Mrs. John Callan, Wlnthrop
Mrs. Thomas Cummings, Masonville
John Behan, Ryan Rev. Patrick Be
han, Blessing, Iowa. They have thir-
igi
ty-slx grandchildren. The old coaple
retired from the farm a few years ago
and have since made their home in
town. Both are vigorous and well
preserved, and judging from their
lithe step in keeping time to pretty
fast Irish music they will enjoy what
their friends sincerely wish them—
many happy years. XX

The New Grant Six
Touring Gar
Model G--Price $1095
This is a car of individuality and rare beauty
I of line with mechanical refinement never before of
fered in an automobile of comparable price.
This new model is in fact, the largest and finest car
its makers have ever built. In appearance it has decided
individuality which separates it from the monotonous same
ness which has heretofore characterized popularly-priced
cars.
In economy it stands alone as the most economical six
in existence, so that GRANT SIX owners not only enjoy a
car with lowest possible expense for gasoline, oil and tires,
but also have a satisfying sense of avoiding even the slight
est waste. Owners will average 20 miles to a gallon of gas
oline and 900 miles to a gallon of oil.
The new GRANT SIX has a 114-inch wheel base. Its
length is further accentuated by the skillful designing of
the low cut body, the high radiator and hood, the long run
ning board and the sloping windshield.
