much interesting information given as
to the barge line to be started In the

been installed in upper river cities,
notably Davenport and Lacrosse.
Warsaw has neglected and ignored
her opportunity to become a member
of this association and she will regret
1t in the future, when she might be
among the first Of the small cities to
avail herself of terminal benefits; the
annual dues were small compared to
1.-THE benefits.
Warsaw's crack band has received
six new members, all fine young men,
steady and with staying qualities; four
will play clarinets; this addition
raises the membership to %.
Would not Civic league composed
tof the women Of the city be power
for its moral and physical welfare,
iinsuring clean city, a better city IN
every way, and beautiful city?
Judging by the success of such leagues
in the west, they would stir up the
istagnation that exists here-though
business in Warsaw Is better than In
most towns Of its size, so travelling
men say-take hold of the improve
Iment propositions and complete them,
take notice." and would show them
"how to keep house." Let's have
Warsaw Civic league, we have the
material to make it a grand success.
Our women vote now and are thus
more than our equals, and as they
have used the franchise more intel
'ligently than the average male voter,
we can safely trust the best welfare
of the city in their keeping. The cit'
needs securing in many ways and
the Civic league will accomplish 1t as
no other organization can; let's help
them start the ball rolling.
A western lady is in the city visit
ing. who is an active member of a
Civic league at her home and Is
thoroughly informed as to its wora
and the success attained; she will be
more than glad to assist Warsaw Ia
dies in organizing such league. We
are most fortunate in having her with
us.

In Tuesdays Chicago papers, IN a
Washington dispatch. the government
recommends locating arsenals ana am
munition factories at points along the
Mississippi; one of them at Rock Is
land-this Is the same as was recon-
mended by Governor Dunnne recent
". The question naturally arises,
why could not one Of these arsenals
or factories be located on the bluffs
and flats between Warsaw and Ham1l-
ton? There are beautiful sites, many
of them, and their nearness TO the
great water power would make them
superior to any other sites between
here and st. Paul or between here and
st. Louis. Congressman G. Fl. raven
ner would cheerfuily present our
claims, when the question OF western
arsenals is brought before congress,
as has been today suggested. Be-
sides, Congressman Tavenner Is
well known and enthusiastic advocate
OF the government owning all arms
and ammunition factories. Now this
is no pipe dream, this mention OF our
nearby sites; stranger things than
this have happened and become facts,
and It would be well to remember 1t.

Call This Morning-Tenth

The fire department received fre
call about $3.50 o'clock this morning
There was the usual scurry and
hustle at the Sixth street house. Fin
ally all of the f1remen were at their
places on the truck, and the doors
were open and the signal for the start
was given. The driver pulled brake
or two.
The machine did not start. He mon
keyed with a half dozen other appl-
ances and the truck gave snort and
went a few feet. BY much coaxing
and turning Of levers the truck was
encouraged to turn Sixth onto Main
street, after much gasping and pun
ing. After considerable delay the
fire fighter put on her travelling
clothes and made the run to 1928 Main
street where flue was burning out
in the home Of Archie Eppers,
A later examination disclosed the
fact that the gasoline tube had been
stopped UP. A rubber washer in the
tube had worn or and plugged up the
pipe. Incidentally the Tenth street
driver was able to boast today that he
had beaten the truck to the fire.

The sentimentality of the Teuton Is

practically extinct in Germany. The ex-
PLANTATION Of the mystery lies buried in
the complex German nature. That they
were once loved is proved"b by an interest
ing series that begins with an illuminated
parchment case, or envelope, made for a
little parchment card decorated with val

placed in the year 1710 by the German
antiquarian, from whom,'M Mr.. Baer obtained
it. The sentiments carefully drawp upon

beginning, "LiebeS Voeglein

gush of sentiment that produced THE
Sorrows of Werther."
A striking water color design of tulips
and passion flowers, in vivid reds, yellpws
and greens, is identified as Alsatian, and
the water mark Of the paper it is painted
on shows the date 1870.

Bold in its simplicity and charming in
sentiment is an original French valentine
of the time of the Emigres, those por-
tentous days when Louis XVI. and his
queen were in the hands of the Revolu-
tionists and deserted by the mobiles, so
many of whom fed beyond the frontiers
Of France to watch the course of events
which they were powerless to change. The
sender of this love-gage, however, re-
mained at Nancy, and bravely wrote his
aristocratic name, Marcel Devillers, close
to the silhouette of his demurely coifed
mistress. His own likeness shows the out
lines of the powdered wig and the silk bag
and ribbon that distinguished the Royalist
from the Republican.
In the time of the First Empire French
stationers provided elaborately engraved
and colored valentine notepaper From
the shop of A. Leleux, at Calais, comes a
letterhead depicting a spirited scene. A
pink-cheeked goddess, robed in the style

has carefully leaned his trusty blunder-

his stalwart arms, holding in one hand a
