NEW MILITARY COMPANY
MUSTERED IN LAST NIGHT
Frank LeBron Elected Captain of Company L.,
Forty-Fourth Iowa Infantry, and DR..
Sherlock First Lieutenant
TOOK The OATH OF ALLEGIANCE
Fifty Three Men Passed Physical Examination
and Were Enrolled, While There are Few
Vacancies to Be Left Open

Company l. of the Fifty-fourth Iowa
infantry-Keokuk's long cherished
military organizations now real
ity. The city has taken its place in
the ranks of Uncle Sans militia with
a company that will do the stars and
stripes proud.
The new company was mustered in
last night at Woodman hall by Adjt.
Gen. Guy E. Logan Of Des Moines.
In the ranks are fifty-three of the
most desirable young men Of the city
who are bound to bring Keokuk's
name to the forefront in future mill
tary maneuvers of the state. The oath
was administered in which the nation
a! guardsmen swore true allegiance
to and support of the constitution OF
the United States, and that of the
state of Iowa
Frank LeBron Captain.
Frank LeBron was elected captain
Of Company l. and DR.. w. l.. Sherlock
was elected first lieutenant. The
other commissioned office, that of
second lieutenant will be filled at a
later election, while the non-commis-
stoned officers will be appointed by
the captain within the next two
weeks. They are a sergeant. quarter
master sergeant and corporals.
Captain LeBron is one OF the most
capable men in the city to head tie
new military organization. A few
years ago, when Company A Cadets
was an organization that is still well
remembered, Mr. LeBron was captain
of it, so that he is man whose
previous military training makes him
admirably fitted for the position. The
captaincy was extended to him at a
late hour, but he has entered into the
position with enthusiasm and has
much to say for the composition OF
the company and what the future
should bring. That Mr.. LeBron is
qualified for the captaincy and will
be the strongest man for the place to
be found in Keokuk is unquestioned.
Sherlock Fret Lieutenant.
DR.. w. P. Sherlock was the logical
man for the first Workmanship and
the company will stand as monu
ment to his untiring work and lead
ership. Almost single handed he eff
fected the organization of military
company in Keokuk and when his
name was read last night. while the
company was being mustered in, there
was generous burst of enthusiasm
which resounded throughout the hall
While DR.. Sherlock has had no pre-
vious military training his knowledge
OF military affairs through constant
reading of late will qualify him fol
the commission.
It is thought that an office will be
extended DR.. Fred B. Smales, who
has also been instrumental in giving

grams, directed to the adults Of Chi.
cago, the health department has
turned its attention to instructing the
school children In ways Of avoiding
disease.
The weekly bulletin OF the depart
ment was called "schoolgrams" and
contained much pertinent though pithy
advice for the youngsters of the city.
Don't swap candy, chewing gum or
apples;" "skldoo from the boy or girl
with the sore throat" keep that PEN
ell out Of your mouth"-these are
some Of the bits of advice offered In
language that every schoolboy or girl
can understand.
Some Of the "schoolgrams" are as
follows:
Let the first lesson below to
keep well.
You'll be brighter, learn more and
keep in better health II your teacher
will keep the windows Of the school
room open. Bad air makes sluggish
brain.
DO unto others as you would have
others do unto you-meaning: Don't
carry disease germs to school and
cause sickness and perhaps death
among your playmates. II you have a
contagious disease at home keep en-
tirely away from all other children.
Stay at home II you have sore throat.
"A little sore throat in one little
child may cause a big lot Of trouble
for many other children. Many 1ktle
sore throats' are In reality diphtheria-
Wash the drinking cup thoroughly
before putting It to your mouth. The
child which used 1t just before you
may have left the germs Of disease on
It. Wash the germs OF.
Keep that pencil out of your mouth.
It may have scarlet fever. dlphtheria
or typhoid fever germs on 1t.
Swapping gum, swapping apples
and swapping candy are about the
dirtiest things-and the most danger
GUS things-that a child can do. Don't
be that dirty.
Keep your hands clean. Soap IL
your good friend-dirt is your worst
enemy.
Eat very little candy-treat your
stomach well and you'll live longer.
Never buy candy or fruit at an
open stand on the street. Flies have
left all kinds Of dirt on 1t and dirt
from the streets has been blown upon
It.
when you play, play out Of doors
but never play in dusty places.
Don't run to school-especially just
after eating. Start in time so that
you will not have to run.
BE we'll and you'll be happy-even
in school"

Does II pay to use manure at he
rate Of IS or 80 tons per acre? This
depends largely on the cost Of ma
nure. In many instances the cost Of
hauling far exceeds the first. cost Of
the manure. Much of the manure used
near the large cities IL had for the
hauling, while 1t is the exception,
rather than the rule, that 1t costs more
than so cents a ton. At this price or
less grower can well afford to make
rather long hauls and to use the ma
nure freely, especially for such crops
as lettuce, celery, onions and other
crops grown by intensive methods.
