Des Moines, Sept. 8.-The state
shoot of the Iowa national guard is
being held this week on the rifle range
at Camp Dodge. Every company in
the guard, including the cavalry, artil-
lery and engineer corps, has sent a
team of ten marksmen and three scor
ers. There will be a total Of about
$50 men, including 40 officers, at the
shoot.
The men who show the greatest
ability as .maTksmen will be picked to
represent Iowa at the national shoot
at Jacksonville, Fla. The team will
remain on the rife range for some
time before leaving for the big meet
to practice. This shoot ends the sum-
mer activities of the state militia.
The winter schedule will o o be en-
tered into, though outdoor work at
the home stations of each organization
will probably continue until cold
weather sets in. sa

Clark, a federal government inspector,
arrived in the city Saturday, sent here
by the government to investigate a
report that the foot and mouth disease
had broken out In Dougherty town.
ship. He made the examination and
found nc trace OF the disease and what
the farmers thought was foot and
mouth disease was nothing more than
grease heel. He was also called to
Austin, Mimi, and found the same
condition there. He says that farmers
are now needlessly alarmed, that the
disease is thoroughly checked in all
parts Of the country, and with proper
precautions there will be no more

FRED LUMsDoN. STATIONED At

fairview avenue. telling them of the
tidal that swept the gulf In Aug
ust. Mr.. Lumsdon tells of the storm
and how the camps in hat vicinity
were wrecked. Following is his letter:
Galveston, Texas, Aug. %, 1915.
Dear Father and Mother:
Just received your kind letter an
hour ago and you cannot imagine how
glad l wasNto get 1t. That sure was
some hurricane we had down here
along h gulf from Key West over to
Brownsville. l guess you all heard
about it up there. We haven't got any
more home but we are all keeping up
the spirit and l guess that is about the
best thing that a fellow can dc In "a
case Nke this. The general inspector is
coming down from Washington to in
spect the camp. He has condemned the
TexPs City camp already and is COM
Ing over to see the Galveston camp to-
morrow. We were warned of this storm
two days before 1T came and we
thought 1t vas all noise. But the old
timers that nave lived mere and seen
the storm Of 1900 that just about wiped
away this burg all left to higher and
better ground. 1t started to blow sun
day August Is, and people from town
came up to the camp and crowded ouI
recreation rooms and filled our tents
because the camp Is about six feet
higher than down town. Monday night
1t started to rain and a forty mile wind
came up from the northeast and II
blew hard for about eight hours. We
were all In our tents talking and a bat
ting them out when all of a sudden the
wind changed just like 1t did in 1900
and all the old timers said it was all
up and believe me I sure thought they
were right. The wind changed to about
a Is or 80 mile blow, flooded out the
t~wenty-eight camps, leaving nothing
at all but a clean sweep of sand. They
never saved a thing but the little
clothing they had on their backs. All OF
our tents went kerplunk about Z O'Clock
In the evening and we received orders
to go over In the artillery quarters.
There were thirteen hundred men
crowded into each of these buildings
just big enough for about ESQ so some
OF us stood up for two nights and 9TH
ers got a hour or go of rest. The
causeway burst and the big houle-
ward was swept out and there was four
to six feet Of water in the streets. The
water rains burst and communities
ton was cut off from all the world so
we were In a bad way for quite awhile.
Our food ran out and we got orders to
30 down to the transports, Buford and
Fitzpatrick, so We hiked down there in
about three feet Of water n in some
places -four feet. The niggers started to
looting stores, then the lights went out
In town and the city was under mar
tial law to a certain extent. Maybe you
think we didn't make those fellows eat
the dust, killing about twenty-five and
vnJy couldn't COO Nno IN c{Oht o<<or eiy
o'clock. The camp at Fort Crockett is
nothing but a wreck. We lost all of our
belongings but are glad that we got
away with our lives, and that is the
main thing you know.

Church Notes

Miss Minnie G%abrielson, a mission.
airy from India, will be in charge of a
special meeting to be held Thursday
evening at 8 o'clock in the Swedish
M. e. church, Fifth and Washington
streets. Miss G%abrielson is said to be
an interesting speaker and a good ad-
dress is expected. Everyone is invit-
ed to be present. The talk will be in
the English language.
The Every Member Canvass that
was to have been started in the Main
Street M. E. church today, has been
postponed until a week from today.
It is very desirable that this canvas
be completed in one day. Every one
can help in this: First, prayerfully
determine in your own mind the
amount you ought to give per week.
The members Of a family consulting
together If necessary. Second, be at
home on the day Of the canvas until
after the visitors have called, or leave
word at home as to the amounts you
will pledge weekly.
The back of this pledge card enumer
ates the general benevolences Of the
church and the relative proportion of
amounts given to each. It Is earnest
ly desired and hoped that each one
will pledge a definite amount to our
church expenses and an additional
sum to the benevolences. The motto
on the card reads, LAS much for others
as for ourselves"
Moreover, this Is an Every Member
Canvas. Every member including
every child has a responsibility. The
children especially should be educated
and trained in systematic giving, even
II not more than a penny a week. Our
Master often values such gifts the
most, especially when they represent
real sacrifice. Many people thus gave
last year. More are expected to give
this year. 1t is even preferable in
many cases for husband and wife to
give separately.

MUST USE
HAND SIGNALING
AUToISTs MUST SHOW BY SIGNS
WHICH WAY THEY ARE CO.
ING TO TURN.

The drivers Of automobiles in OF
tumwa will be expected in the future
to comply with the state law in regards
to giving signs that will enable trafic
policemen and cars following to tell
which way they intend to turn. The
code Of Iowa has a section dealing with
this phase Of driving which says:
IAN operator Of a motor vehicle shall
before stopping, turning or changing
the course of such vehicle, first see
that there is sufficient space to make
such a movement in safety and shall
give visible or audible signal to the
crossing officer, IL there be such, or to
the drivers of vehicles following, OF his
intention to make such movement by
raising the hand indicating the direc-
ton he wishes to turn" This para
graph is contained in the state code.s
BY making a visible or audible sign
with the hands means to ray In the
direction he wishes to turn. For In
stance. a driver coming down Main
street east, should desire to turn north
on Market street. He would put his
hand out of the side OF the car so that
a driver following can see it and wave
to the north, If going south the same
thing is done on the opposite side. II
he intends to continue east no sign 10
necessary. The commissioners intend
to get the people into the habit Of using
these signs. In the larger cities there
Is al ordinance requiring such signs.

GRAND DUKE LOSES
COMMAND OF ARMIES
Army 10 Notified.
CONTINUED From Page ~

Army 70 Nottned.
London, Sept. 8. - An army order
issued by Grand Duke Nicholas, who
has been commander in chief Of the
Russian forces, conveys the informa.
ton that Emperor Nicholas, In assum-
ing supreme command of his armed
forces, has supplanted the grand duke.
The order is addressed to 1.-The vail
ant army and fleet" The announce
ment as forwarded from Petrograd to
Reuters Telegram Co., says that the
emperor has placed himself at the head
Of the military and naval forces. The
grand duke thanks them for their hero
ism in the past. He predicts that, with
the emperor leading them, they will
perform fresh exploits.
The text of the cars order il quoted
as follows:
To-day | have taken supreme com
mand of all my forces of the sea and
OF the land armies operating In the
theater Of war.
with firm faith In the clemency of
God, and with mistaken assurance OF
final victory, we shall fulfill our sacred
duty to defend our country to the last.
We shall not dishonor the Russian
land"
Slap For Grand Duke. y
The action Of Emperor Nicholas in
transferring his cousin, the Grand
Duke Nicholas, to the Caucasian front.
is perhaps the most important change
of this nature which has been made by
any of the b%elligerent nations. The
only comparable incident was the re.
tirement by Emperor William in Octo.
Der Of last year, of Lieutenant General
Count Helmuth Won Moltke as chief OF
the German general stan.
The post to which Grand Duke Mich.
olas has been transferred is OF relative
.unimportance az compared with the
prestige and vast powers of his former
office as commander in chief OF all Rus
sia's fighting forces. The Caucasian
campaign presents only a minor aspect
of the war. The Russian and Turkish
forces involved In the struggle in the
Black sea region are not large.
Although there was heavy fighting
in the Caucasus earlier in the war,
hostilities have been conducted in only
a perfunctory manner for several
months, as both of the nations involved
had need Of all available forces in other
quarters.
