NEWS FROM THE FRONT

A. Settlemire who is a member of
the National Guard having Joined
them while at Ida GGrove, writes us
the following interesting letter:
Brownsville, Tex, Sept. 20.
Friend Hoogenakker
will write you a few lines of what
we are doing. Capt. Johnson has re-
turned from Ida Grove, where he had
been on 80 days furlough. We just
came in from a four days camp at a
ranch ten miles south, down on the
banks OF the Rio Grand. There were
four companies of us and each of US
had night of guard duty where they
say the U. S. soldiers killed ten band
it's a year or two ago. We saw the
graves. We hiked it in the mud and
it took us three hours and half to
make it, without picks. The days are
warm but the nights are cool End last
week it has been quite a lot cooler.
One of our army blankets over us
just feels fine.
We have first call at $40 a. M.
and retreat at $40 p. m. We have
six hours under arms. We are going
to make another march to Point Isa-
bell. twenty-four miles from here. 1t
is on the gulf l was down there a
few days ago. From there we will
march to the end of the Rio Grand,
ten miles from Point Isabell We
start Monday on the trip. ! don't
know how many days we will be out
but we are getting so it feels like
home anywhere to US.
We are all we'll and never felt
ter We are all well and never felt
better in my life, but l perfer Iowa,
yet We had tent pitching this morn
ing and ball game this afternoon.
The game ended s to 2 in favor of
the regulars. We have lots of sport.
We go over to Fort Brown and see
the regulars play polo. 1t is quite a
game. They are the best team at the
forts in the south. Well, this Is all
for now.

INCREASED PENSIONS
FOR WIDOWS

Much interest is being taken in the
new pension bill for soldiers widows
recently passed by congress. Many
have been in doubts as to Just what
the new law provided for, and for the
benefit of those we give the following
extracts from the new measure:
The bill provides that all widows
who were the wives of soldiers of the
civil war during the period Of their
service shall be entitled to $50 per
month.
This is regardless of whether they
have reached the age of 20 or not.
In fact, all widows who were the
wives of soldiers while the soldiers
were in service are entitled to $40
per month, regardless of age.
The following statements about
the bill are on the authority Of Rep
resentative Ashbrook Of Ohio, author
of the measure:
ut raises the marriage restrictions
from June 81, 1890, to June 81, 1905
that is, fifteen years.
1T restores to remarked widows
their former pensionable status re-
CARELESS Of other marriages?
widows who have been or may
be divorced without fault on their
part are also entitled to a pension.
All such widows under the age of 70
are entitled to $12 per month and all
over 70 years old are entitled to $50
per month.
"All widows who were the wives
of soldiers during their service are
entitled to $50 per month whether
70 years of age or not.
widows of all wars except the
Spanish war are beneficiaries, in
Guiding civil. Mexican, Indian and
the war of 1912. of which there are
still few survivors"

worker, and early and late his whole
mind, energy and strength were put
forth in an effort to insure success
to the undertaking and please and sat
isfy those who had come to this
beautiful valley to make their homes.
That his efforts to bring forth a
prosperous community, where moth
ing had existed save a stock ranch,
were successful, is attested by the
fact that he lived to see the first
fruit on the trees of the young orch
ards in this valley; he lived to see a
modern town and modern homes
where a barren tract had existed, and
saw enterprises and development
started in which he was vitality inter-
ested and instrumental in promoting
all fitting monuments to his master
mind. That he may have made mis-
takes at times and thereby brought
about enmity, is but human. what
man in public life has been free from
public criticism? Every resident of
Sutherlin Valley realizes that he who
has so quickly past from our midst,
put his whole heart and soul into
making this successful AMI prosper
Gus community, and realizing this, all
will have a tender regard and kindly
feeling for the memory of ]. +. Luse.
In assisting in the work of building
up this community, not only did he
give of his energy and vital force, but
he gave literally in cash in the work
Of organization and in the mainten-
ance of the churches, schools and
various enterprises in this commun-
ity. That his one ambition was the
success of the three thousand acres
of orchards here, and that he pro-
posed to stay with the enterprise un-
til every investor was satisfied, is
demonstrated by the fact that two
years ago he refused an offer of $685.
600 a year to handle a large fruit
tract development proposition in Flor
ida. Having undertaken a great task
here he would not desert the enter
prise at critical period and entrust
the work to others; hence he toiled
on when he should have rested, striv-
ing to please and endeavoring to stay
those who might be induced to turn
away dissatisfied; backing his judg-
ment as to the ultimate result with
all the force at his command until
the hand of death stayed his great
work.
j. F. Luse was great lover of ma
ture and an admirer of arts; are pos
sessed a sympathetic nature and was
always ready to assist those unable
to help themselves; was broad in his
views, and although considered a
shrewd business man he was honest
and upright in his dealings and fair
with his fellowmen. He believed in
progress and advancement and was
ever ready to back his faith in the flu
ture of Sutherlin Valley with his time
and money. He was not a plunger
and would always discourage pros
pective negotiations savoring with I'M
certain speculation.

Johnson county, Iowa, In July 1852,

son to be proud Of the record he has
made at the Audubon county fair

OF this honor can be appreciated.
