Woman Badly Burned

Mrs. r. H. Dunn of Winnemucca
was painfully burned at her home in
that town recently when gasoline.
which she was using to clean cloth
ing, exploded and ignited her wear
ing apparel. Had it not been for
the presence of mind of her niece,
Miss Marjorie Bergin, the woman
would have been terribly if not ia
tally burned. She was severely
burned about the arms and face.

THRILLING STORY OF
YOUNG GIRL NURSE

LONDON, Eng, Feb. 10. - A
letter received by an English family
from a daughter serving as a Red
Cross nurse in Flanders gives a
thrilling glimpse of a girls life on
the Nieuport-Dixmude line.
I'VE had a lively day of Smelling
on Monday she writes. AT about
10:30, whiz-bang, just outside our
house and all our glass came shat
tering down. Whiz-bang, another
and another, and yet another. Just
then the Belgian doctor came in and
told US We had better go into the
cellar. We went down into the cold.
damp cellar and stood about on bits
of wood and Goa and listened to
the continued whiz-bang and crash
of big shells. The noise was pretty
near %deafening and they must have
pumped in about 100. Out of all
that lot luckily we only got two
wounded men, n priest, wounded by
a flying bit in the face, and a sol
der. 1t was extremely lucky that
on that day the trenches opposite
our house were not occupied or there
would have been many killed and
wounded"
Continuing her letter on the fol-
lowing day the writer says: THE
big cannonade is still going on.
There must be a tremendous battle.
| am hOning they are gaining ground
and that we shall soon move on
down the road. l should just love
to 10Y forward into Brussels. The
weather has been truly awful lately
nothing but rain. l live in knee
high rubber boots and my oilskins. l
am sure l will eve be able to get
back to hobble skirts and fashion
able Sides as our American nurse
says
We are thinking of going to
Furnes for the afternoon. just for
a Joy ride. We have been hard at it
for nearly a fortnight without a
break. so we think of going in. You
have no idea what a pleasure a trun-
die into Furnes is, when you have
not done a thing but remain in two
smelly, dingy posts, day in and day
out. / will tell you what the peas
ure consisted of: Getting into a mo-
tor ambulance that has seen it's best
days and trundling over broken,
holey roads that nearly jolt ones in
side out; probably at least once and
perhaps more, sticking in the deep
mud, and all having to get out and
push and shove to get the car out,
and eventually arriving at Furnes
and having a mad rush around the
shops and grabbing all stores we
car find, but it all seems so new
and interesting after a desolate town.
"Then a mad rush back again yer
the same bumpy roads and home to
our tu~mbled-down cottage. Yet you
have no idea what a great treat it
seems to u.s."

The ALLIES WAR LOAN
Local Banks Have Received Circul-
airs From J. P. Morgan & Co.

Circulars have been received by the
local banks from j. F. Morgan & Co.,
of New York, in regard to the Anglo
French halt billion war loan which is
being handled by that company. The
local banks, however, are not going
to carry the bonds and in fact there
are but few places in the middle
west where the bonds will be distri,
buted.
The local bankers say that Iowa and
the middle west needs what money
they have to supply needs here, A
list OF the places carrying bonds is
contained in the circular and the fact
that Iowa is without bank or trust
company working in ,tke interest of
the loan shows that the people in this
section are not enthusiastic in the
project. In Illinois there is but one
bank that has the bonds although
several trust companies are agents
and in Missouri there is but two trust
companies and no banks handling
them. Michigan has two banks cir.
culationg the bonds and Wisconsin a
trust company,

TIE REVIVAL MEETING
Sunday Was Busy and Satisfactory
Day at Christian Church.

Sunday was top notch day in the
revival meeting so far. In the fore.
noon the unfold program was tried
out for the first time in a series of
four consecutive Sunday mornings
This is by way of experiment in order
to see if the plan suits local conditions
and is satisfactory to the cOngrega
ton.
The people seemed delighted with
1t Sunday, even though there was the
handicap of a first trial.
The audience was large, the music
was inspirational and the sermon was
very appropriate to such a mixed aud.
fence.
The gospel team meeting in the af.
ternoon was exceedingly inspirational
and helpful. 1t outlined some practi.
cal work to be done.
The evening service, witnessed a
capacity house. Mr.. Hickman was at
his best and put on a song service
that got hold Of the entire audience.
1t was the best song Uervice thus far.
Mr.. Paris preached on The Devils
Tangle-Foot" and scored a great sue
cess with his audience. But that was
nothing new. He has done that every
night. ... s.u4t..
The sermon dealt with thdse snares
with which the devil is continually en-
trapping the people, both young and
old. The preacher did not handle the
subject with gloves Some said
Amen" some looked sad, some squirm
ed under the ordeal, but all felt that
the preacher had told the truth ami
did his duty. ~.
Miss Ware and Mr.. Hickman each
sang a solo. The songs were approp.
rate and very efficiently rendered
They were real contributions to the
service of the evening.
There will be no service tonight,
but. Tuesday night the meetings will
be resumed. Following the regular ser
vice on Tuesday night. the annual
meeting of the church will be held at
which time reports of the years work
will be given and social time en-
joyed.
The meetings will continue until
ample notice is given that they will
close.
Miss Alepa Grafton of Indianapolis,
Ind, who is national superintendent
Of the girls mission circle will be
here next Friday, and following the
evening service will meet with the To-
cal Mission Circle, and others who
are interested in that work.
The Y, p, s. G. E. meeting was led
by Harold Gunnar and had an enthus.
iastic discussion of local Endeavor
Union work. 1t looks as if a local
union would be formed.

The suIIy sank Case.

Newton, Oct, 1S.--The criminal cas-
es for this term of court begins on
Oct. 20, and the first case is that OF
the state vs.. l.. H. Sherman, who is
accused of obtaining $32,500 from the
defunct bank of Sully by false pre-
lenses. d.. I
The state alleges that l.. HI. Sher
man traded stock in mausoleum com
pany to the bank for notes which he
had given and an effort will be made
to prove that the stock was worthless.
Much interest is taken in this on
account of the fact that the bank was
closed by state authorities and de-
positors lost large sums.
Sherman was at one time associated
with his brother in the conduct OF
ownership of the bank, but later went
to California. He drew heavily from
the funds of the bank, and gave his
personal notes, and these were can
celed later by the transfer of the mau.
soleum stock.
