eral Van Zandt to the chair. General
Van Zandt presented Congressman
Thomas NJ Helm. OF Alabama. who ex
tended the invitation of the city OF

their next reunion there. His address
was one IN which high tribute was paid
the men OF the South who established
the republic: Richard Henry Lee, Thorn :
as jefferson, George Washington,
James Madison. John Marshall--thc
men whose efforts have made the South
and the nation great-the war leaders
of the Confederates and the Confeder-
ate veterans themselves.
The part of the South in the begin
ming of the republic was dwelt upon
at considerable length. Among the
more striking sentences--those which
called forth the greatest outbursts of
cheers from the veterans-were:
1.-THE first tea party was not In
Boston harbor but at Wilmington.
N. c.. in the South. The frst battle
of the revolution was not at Concord.
but at Alamance, ". c.. In the South
1t was on Southern soil that CORVALLIS

Where Real Men Are Made.


Sioux City Journal: II Mr.. Az
erage Citizen were asked to en-
umerate Sioux City's factories,
he probably would fail to name one of
the most important of all, not because
he does not realize its importance as
an institution, but because perhaps
he does not think Of it as manu-
featuring industry. Yet that is exact
ly what it is-the Y. NJ. G. A.-and
it's product is young men with char
acter.
Once upon a time poet asked the
question, What constitutes slater
Then, the habit being not uncommon
with poets, he proceeded to give his
own answer, to-wit: Not high raised
battlements or other Improvements
Of material nature, but men-red
blooded, stiff spined, clearconscienced
men. Paraphrase the poets query into
What makes a city, Let the answer
be-not vast stock yards, nor great
packing houses, nor tall smokestacks
nor screeching whistles-all good as
sets in their way-but men, the same
red blooded, stiff spined, clear con-
scienced men.
AS proud as the second city in Iowa
is of it's home made flour and crack
ers and candies and cigars and pens
and brooms and overalls and Ice
cream and butter and thousand and
one other things, in no other one
product can it feel such a thrill Of
pride as that with which 1t points to
the young man of the right kind who
bears the label, Made in Sioux City"
It is young men Of just that sort that
are keeping things moving at the
Y. NJ. C. A. That's why the Y. NJ. c.
A. is good thing for Sioux City.
The Y. NJ. =. A. is not a money
making enterprise. But 1t takes mon
ey to keep things moving at the Y. NJ.
c. A.. lust as it takes money to keep
the wheels moving in any other fac
tory. In its zeal for turning out per.
feet article the Y. NJ. G. A does not
always keep it's operating expenses
strictly with. the limit Of its ordin-
airy income Every now and then II
finds itself in need of funds. and the
only thing to do is to realize on some
Of its accounts That is what the y.

RAILROAD WILL
PAY FERRY CHARGE
Nauvoo Paper Announces That Bur-
lington Will Give It Rates on
Par with keokuk.

That Nauvoo will be benefited by
recent adjustment OF rates by the
Burlington is shown by the following
from the independent:
A. G. Maxwell, general agent, and
j. w. Hood, travelling freight and pas
senger agent of the c.. B. & Q. rail-
road, of Keokuk, and E. D. Crooks or
Montrose, were in the city yesterday
and perfected arrangements with j..
w. Reimbold of the Nauvoo Transpor-
tation company, whereby Nauvoo Sc
cures rates on both carload and small
shipments at practically the same
rates as those given Keokuk and Fort
Madison. In other words freight Will
be laid down on this side of the river
at the same price as II we were direct
ly on the G., B. & Q. railroad line.
There will be saving to our people
of the ferry charges on freight shipped
either in or out Of Nauvoo. The rail-
road com pany assumes this charge. 1t
will mean great saving to the busi.
ness men Of Nauvoo and especially to
the shippers and grape growers.
This is the elimination OF suit
brought by the Nauyoo Grape Growers
Unicn and Dachroth & Hart before the
interstate commerce commission in
February. At the hearing the COM
mission stated it was powerless to do
anything, but advised direct dealing
with the railroad company This was
done. A meeting of citizens was call
ed and a committee composed of j..
NJ. Fisher, R. Anton, R. Arbuckle, G..
H. Hart and G. R. Montgomery was
appointed to take the matter up with
the railroad company and the Nauvoo
Transportation company. They had
been working quietly but energetical-
ly ever since and with the success
just announced They certainly de-
serve great credit and the thanks of
all our people for it will be benefit
for all, if not directly at least indf-
rectly, as it will mean the saving OF
several thousand dollars annually to
the community.
All shipments for Nauvoo must be
marked "Nauvoo, Ill.,, via c., B. & O.,
and Montrose, Ia" The direct rates
will go into effect about July I, or as
soon as the tariffs can be printed and
filed with the interstate commerce
commission.

TRIBUTE TO THE FLAG.

President Wilson, in his New York
address, told what the American flag
typified. He said it typifed all that
was best in the world.
THE mission of America" he said,
sis what her soldiers and sailors
should think of. They have nothing
to do with shaping of policies. Some
times the persons who run the United
States forget the principles it was
founded on. but the people themselves
never forget.
when a crisis occurs in this coun-
try it is as if you put your finger on
the pulse of the nation, as if you put
your hand on the pulse of dynamo.
1--WE lift no threats against any ma
ton or class in the United States.
This feet in the river is a great.
solemn evidence that the force of
America is the force of moral prin-
ciple. There is nothing else for which
she will contend"

to manufacture automobile plates

penitentiary, according to the Regis
ter and Leader.
w. S. Allen, secretary of state.
author of the resolution turning down
the prison labor proposition today
explained that he will not change
his vote on the Sanders matter.
The prison is not equipped to
make auto plates and will not take
the chance of getting the proper ser =
ice" said MIR. Allen. 1--WE will need
next year $4,000 pair Of plates. This
is too great volume to trust to
an inexperienced plant. When
came in here two years ago, we mad
a contract with ST. Louis firm for
furnishing the plates. We had ter
role time getting them. Remem ber'
ing that experience / am not anxious
to get into a similar difficulty again.
Then again, If the plates were to
be made in the Fort Madison penf.
Tertiary it would bring the prison la
Dor into direct competition with free
labor. 1 am opposed to it whether 1t
lis in Iowa or in Minnesota.
L approve Sanders methods In

church Every number was treat
and the versatility of the members OF

number of the varied program the
artists displayed exceptionally clever
talent and the program closed with
every one in the audience expressing
their appreciation. The solo work OF
the Misses Peterson and the duets
were sweetly and smoothly rendered
and the harmony very pleasing. In
addition to the vocal numbers, Pro,

that were delightful in expression and

FEW SURVIVING GENERALS.

The National Tribune, Washington.
has been looking into the official rec
ords for the names of union major
generals IN the civil war who are still
alive, and finds the list reduced to
few indeed In the last week Of this
month will be held, at the national
capital, a celebration of the fiftieth
anniversary of the final review there
of Shermans army. The commanding
officers connected with it who remain
expect to be present.
These survivors include Granville
NJ. Dodge of Council Bluffs, Ia, who
commanded the Sixteenth corps;
James H. Wilson of Wilmington Del,
cavalry commander; J. P. Osterhaus
OF Mannheim. Germany, commander
of the Fifteenth corps. and Cyrus Bus
sey, commander of cavalry in Arkan-
sas under Sherman Other surviving
high generals are Nelson A. Miles.
Washington, who commanded a corps
in the Army of the Potomac, and
holds the rank OF. lieutenant general
Maj. Gen. D. Mem. Gregg, who COM
manded a cavalry division under
Sheridan, is auditor general of Penn
sylvania and resides at Harris burg.
Maj. Gen. Adelbert Ames, commander
of a division in the army OF the
James. lives in Massachusetts,. The
fifty years that have passed since the
close OF the civil war has almost elm
mated the officers of this rank.
During last month the mortality
among the pensioned soldiers of the
war of 1876 was 1851. and 1913
pensioned widows of soldiers died.
The decrease is now at the rate of
over $4,000 a year. The sensational
lists who attak the pension list lack
information as well as patriotism, says
the st. Louis Globe-Democrat.
