Relatives of Guardsmen to
Be Taken in Autos to
Camp Dodge Sunday
HUNDREDS OF CARS
MAY MAKE THE TRIP
Owners Are Urged to Decide
the Number That They
Can Accommodate

Over thirty people have stgnified
their wish to 60 to Des Moines Sun
day by autos. to visit relatives who are
members Of Co. G at Camp Dodge. 1t
is thought now that there will not be
sufficient cars to take other relatives
than parents and wives It Is expect
ed that there will be 200 cars repre-
senting Ottumwa and vicinity Sun
day. A hearty invitation has been ex-
tended to anyone wishing to make the
trip, to take part in the parade at Des
Moines. Ottumwa flags and pennants
will be given to car owners at the
Commercial club to decorate with.
The committee urges that people
who have cars and can carry passen-
gers, turn their names in to any one
of the following: Creath & Boone,
feller. 1876; r. j. Shanahan, 4S. Wives
and parents who wish to be taken In
autos should communicate with F. T.
Lynch, 1922. The committee asks that
people owning cars even II they have
room to carry only one person, report
to them, for there will be plenty to
accommodate.
The cars will leave Ottumwa Sunday
morning from 4 O'CLOCK to 7:SO, ac-
cording to the speed Of the automo-
biles, but all must be at the state fair
grounds at 10:3O for the start will be
made from there to Camp Dodge at
that time. The committee wishes to
impress the merit of the excursion
upon Ottumwa car owners, for the
guardsmen are liable to be called to
the border at any time and may not
even be at Camp Dodge Sunday, al
though they are expected to be there
at least that long.
The committee In charge Of the big
auto excursion announce that in order
to accomplish what is desired, all re-
latives of the soldier lads cannot be
accommodated. Every parent and
wife Of any Of the guardsmen will
however, be provided seat In some
car for the trip to Camp Dodge. The
only expense any of those persons will
be put to Is for their meals while
away. The car trip each way is pro-
vided gladly by the promoters and the
owners of the cars who desire that no
parent or wife of guardsman be left
behind who can find 1t possible to 90
and desire to do so.

THAT AUTOMATIC DEAL-The

cOmpanyAwith no protest from any
Chicago newspaper but The Day
Book - persuaded the city council
and the state board of public utilities
to approve the purchase of the Auto
matte telephone plant by the trust.
All that was needed to complete the
deal was the consent of Attorney
General Gregory. But all the pull Og.
Armour, the Bell phone trust, the
Chicago telephone Co. and the Chi
cago Tunnel Co. couldn't move
Gregory to play the game for the
plutes. And now it's all off. The
scheme to help Armour and his pals
unload the Automatic on the phone
trust and, then let them make phone
users in Chicago pay for it has been
busted. The peoples council in Chi
cago were willing to see them
robbed. So was the state board of
public utilities. But the attorney
general of the United States couldn't
be bought, bulldozed and browbeat-
en-and he saved the telephone sit
uation in Chicago. Score another
big mark for the Wilson administra-
ton for killing a rotten deal.

AS BREAD GOES UP-As far
fetched as it may seem to be, we are
willing to stake our reputation as
prophet upon the statement that the
rise in the price of bread, or the re-
ductiOn Of the size of the loaf and
the enlargement of the diameter of
the hole in the doughnut, is due to
stimulate pro-ally sentiment in Amer
lea nightly.
When Turkey entered the war we
mentioned that, sooner or later, we
far away Americans would feel the
stoppage of the supply of Russian
wheat. We are feeling it now, in
dollars and, cents and in queer sensa-
tons at the pit Of our stomachs.
Sentiment of the heart and senti--
ment of the head both give way to
sentiment of the stomach. When a
man gets so hungry that he is i'm
PEELED to steal he doesn't care. very
much whether he robs a friend or an
enemy. About the time bread takes
another jump as it must eventually
do, many of us over here are going,
to pull awful hard for the thing
which will restore to us the good, old,
full-sized, scent loaf Which will be
a victory for the allies in the Bal
kans. Thus we are in line to have
our sympathies forced, for the first
time since the war begun, by the
action of the bakers and, funny
thing, most of those bakers are Ger
man-Americans ..
