Within Last Two
Weeks
MORE APPLICATIONS
Many Young Men, Under Twenty
one Years Of Age. Kept From
company-Parents Won't
Sign Papers.

Fifteen men have enlisted in Com
nany L. Keokuk company Of the Iowa
National Guards, within the past two
weeks. according to statement by
captain C. e. Powell, this afternoon
The members of the company are
meeting twice each week. Mondays
and Thursdays, for the purpose Of get.
ting in shape for the annual state en-
campment, which is to be held in
Iowa City, August 16 to 25, inclusive.
The local company lacks but a few
men of reaching the number Of re-
ouired strength, sixty.f1ve. Two pri-
Yates and an officer will round out
the company.
An election Of second lieutenant
will ha held at the regular meeting
next Monday night.
Captain Powell states that he Is
certain the necessary number of men
will have been enlisted by the time
the company leaves for Iowa City.
However, this matter would have been
settled some time ago, had parents
consented to the enlistment of young
raer under 81 years of age. 1t is es-
timated by the captain Of the COM
psny that fifty young men have ap.

the year, but that their parents re-
fused to sign the enlistment papers,
"As far as these men who are un-
der age being compelled to fight
should the United States become en-.
gagged in a war, there are only two
ways In which a parents protest
would fail and that Is in case OF the
company as a whole consenting to re-
enlist, or the members be drafted for
service" said Captain Powell.
Members of the local organization
are anxioucly awaiting the encamp-
ment. and it is stated that much
rivalry will be shown at Iowa City.
Before the reorganization of the Iowa
guards, the Keokuk company was a
member Of the Fifty-fourth regiment,
as were also Washington, Burlington
and Fairfield. These four companies
now compose the third battalion OF
the First regiment. The second and
third battalions of the First regiment
are composed Of companies formerly
belonging to the Fifty-third regiment.
The Washington, Keokuk, Burlington
and Fairfield companies, under the
command OF Major John F. Ready of
Fairfield, will endeavor to take first
honors at the Iowa City meet
Captain Powell states that the
Thursday night drills are being held
at the request OF new members.

WHAT WOULD YOU DO?

wv W.
What would you do
II you never swear,
And 1t happened to you
Some time, somewhere,
That your house got afire.
Or your wife got sick,
And you want the wire,
And you want it quick?
To the phone you 60.
At your swiftest gait,
And you yell "Hello!"
And you wait and wait
And you shake the phone
And you weep and wall.
And you moan and groan
But to no avail.
Then a voice you hear
In a high pitched key
Says Hello there dear.
Yes, this is me.
I've washed my hair
And LIN just a sight
Say what shall I wear
To the dance tonight?"
You are most insane
And your senses whirl
AS you call in vain
To the central girl.
While the flames leap high
And the smoke gets dense
Or your wife might die
While you wait in suspense.
I ask you, sir,
What would you do
Should this occur
Sometime to you.
Were you a lad
Who never swore-
Or never had
At least. before?

SPRINGBROOK BOY
KILLS HIMSELF
FRANK DURHAM FOUND DEAD
BY BROTHER MONDAY-LEFT
NOTE GIVING REASONS

Frank Durham, the twenty year
old son of Mr.. and Mrs. Durham Of
Springbrook was found dead Monday
evening in the town hall Of Spring
brook township about three miles
east of the town of Springbrook.
Coroner Distad was called about nine
o'clock Monday evening. He found
that the boy had died from dose Of
strychnine, the young man having
taken about a teaspoonful Of the
poison. He had left a note addressed
to his mother and said he was killing
himself as the result Of trouble with
his father. Judging from his note
the doctor is of the opinion that the
boy was out Of his mind when he
wrote it.
Frank Durham has been working
nearly all summer for his brother-in-
law, L. A. Morrow who lives near the
town hall. Monday morning the
young man complained Of having q
tooth ache and said he was going over
to the hall and take nap. About 8
o'clock he came back for pail OF wa
ter. When the dinner hour came
around the folks thought they would
not wake him up but at supper time
his brother Oscar went over to call
him and found him dead. The
strychnine he used was taken from
4 bottle which he evidently had taken
from the township supply kept ut the
Morrow home.
The remains were buried In the
Springbrook cemetery.
