taken to some other department OF the

struck, shortage Of that amount was
found. Quiet inquiry disclosed the fact
that the three boys named had spent
some $40 in clothing store, had law

While the Fourth this year finds an

them believe. We have been at war
before this on the Fourth; indeed. the

IOWA IN FIRST MEXICAN WAR.

Seventy summers ago, and in the
month OF June. folks in the Iowa land
were busy recruiting military compa-
MES and drilling them TO take their
place in the first war we had with Mex
leo. That was just six months before
Iowa became state OF the union. Cue,
the state historian, records that there
was great enthusiasm. Mass meetings
were held in many of the towns and
enlistments began at once Yet the
Iowa of that day did not have the joy
of sending her military companies south
of the Rio Grande, tho a number of in
dividual Iowans distinguished them
selves at the front,
And maybe-who knows?-it may
really be that in that respect the his
tory Of 1876 is to be repeated in 1915.
For there may yet be a more or less
peaceful settlement of our differences
with the Carranza government
It may be worth noting that there is
a fine absence of record OF the volun-
teers Of 1916 trying to dictate the terms
under which they would bear arms for
their country. 1t was on the first day
Of that far off June that the Governor
Clarke Of that day issued his call for
volunteers in Iowa That was Gov
ernor James Clarke, the last territorial
governor of the Iowa territory. Our
Governor George Clarke is no, directly
descended from him. Within twenty
six days twelve companies had been
enlisted and were dutifully at drill
That preparedness Cor the fight was
continued daily for just six months
from the time President Polk was noti-
fed that Iowa was ready, for on Nov.
Is, one month before Iowa became a
state. the word came from Washington
that the Iowa troops would not be
needed.
And we had Mormon scouts in those
days TOO.
Back in 1915 more than half 3 thous-
and Mormons were enlisted in Iowa,
most OF them from what are now the
southern counties Of the state. There
was no state Of Iowa then. Thous-
ands of Mormons had come into the
territory after the Nauvoo massacre
and the bad treatment accorded them
In Missouri as we'll. They were good
people. Captain James Allen, who
founded Fort Des Moines. was commits
stoned by the federal war department
to sound the Mormons about joining
the colors and going down to Mexico to
fight under Zach Taylor and Winfield
Scott. Brigham Young urged his peo-
pie to go, and full battalion and more
were quickly recruited and began their
long hike across the plains, and
through the Salt Lake valley, by the
way, to California, whence they assist.

THOMAS JEFFERSON
s Snd sealM8 u7X -6 caboa&es.lk

Ninety years ago tomorrow occurred
the death of Thomas Jefferson. third
president of the United States and
founder of the democratic school of
thought This school has been we'll
attended ever since and had lis largest
enrolment in 1912 when Woodrow
Wilson was elected to the presidency
ny one of the most heavily swollen
popular votes on record.
Thomas jefferson was born on a
Virginia farm. of 1900 acres, which
raised tobacco, wheat and brunette
slaves in wild abundances. Thomas
was a tall. shy boy who ran largely TO
bones and hair of light but pleasing
complexion. He did not take to the
farm and never learned to milk a COW
in a finished and versatile manner,
preferrins to practice law and milk
the unsuspecting client. Soon after
being admitted to the bar he was mar
ried to a beautiful widow lady with
10000 acres of land and l35 slaves,
which event ne always referred to
with ill-concealed emotion.
When the thirteen colonies decided
to secede from Grea: Britain in one
rectangular chunk, it was Thomas
jefferson who wrote the Declaration
of independence with a bursting heart
and a stub pen. Soon after this Jeffer-
son was invited to select seal for the
new nation, and reached into the back
of a latin pony for the phrase, "E
Pluribus Unum'' which has done yeo-
man service ever since. After holding
most of the offices in Virginia that
had been invented up TO that time
jefferson ran for the presidency. but
was defeated by John Adams by the
space Of TWO eye-winkers. Four years
later. however. he ran again and was
elected. and Immediately began to do
