MANY IOWA GUARDS
Men CANNOT VOTE

Des Moines, Ia, Aug. 7.-While
the absent voters law apparently
gives the 4.50O Iowa Guardsmen on
the border the right to vote at the
presidential and state election in
November, Attorney General Cossen
explained to the United Press today
just how it is knocked out by the
registration law.
On presidential years the state law
provides for a complete new regis
tration of all voters in cities of over
$500 population. This means guards
men as well as. everyone else, and as
the guardsmen are on the border and
promise to be there on registration
days in October, they cannot regis
ter and therefore cannot vote in No
vember although the absent voters
law does not bar them from this
privilege. Probably nine-tenths OF
the Guard are from cities of over 81
500 population, but in the case of
| those from the smaller towns where
registration is not required, and
from the country districts, they can
take advantage of the absent voters
law and cast their ballots.
A resident of west Walnut street
kept tab on the number of autos
which passed his home Saturday ev-
ening between 5:45 and sos o'clock,
two hours and twenty minutes. Dur
ing that time 15S cars passed his
house, an average of over one car
minute. Probably other streets in
town would show the same figures
which indicates that there are lots OF
cars being driven in this city even
ings.

PRESERVED BY STATE
Moving Pictures Taken of Iowa
Troops to be saved-for Future
Generation.

Des NIoines, Aug. 5.-LThe Iowa
historical department has completed
the Camp Dodge portion OF the mo-
ton picture negative intended to
perpetuate the mobilization of the
Iowa National guard at Camp Dodge
for Mexican duty. The first appear
ance Of the film will probably be AT
the Iowa state fair, which opens
Aug. 25.
The, film will show each member
of the Iowa National guard in mo-
ton and in the course of his duty.
The picture is about ten reels long.
1t has been deposited as a permanent
record in the archives of the state
of Iowa, to take its place with the
manuscripts and other documentary
materials of like character which
PASS into the permanent archives of
the state.
A film made from this historic
negative has been prepared to be u.s.
ed by any one who may desire, and
upon such conditions as shall be
found proper. The titles to run with
the film have been prepared for use
in the production of this copy of the
film in Iowa motion picture houses.
In this way these houses will be able
to show on their screens in actual
motion and by explanation in words
a full hours performance OF the
young men from their vicinity learn
ing the use Of weapons, and of tools,
and indulging in the recreations Of
the camp.
The camera was take upon the
grounds with the approval of Adj.
Gen. Guy e. Logan, Brig. Gen. H..
A. Allen and Col. George Morgan,
chief mastering officer of the United
States army. For about fifteen days
the camera was employed in the
most interesting moments of each
day in photographing in motion Diff

served in the mess, the hospital and
other tents; the commanders and the
privates upon the rifle range and

Elephants in the Y. M. c. A. and 9TH

The precise terms and methods of
sending out the film have not yet
been decided upon. 1t is intended
that it shall earn merely enough
money to pay for itself, and that
thereafter any. money that it may
produce shall go to General Allen up
on the border for the benefit of the
troops. The film probably will first
be shown upon the state fair grounds
at nominal admission charge, and
bookings will be made upon condi-
tions which may seems best for all
interests concerned. ~

The Man by the Side of the Road

There are hermit souls that live Withdrawn
In the peace of their self-content;
There are souls like stars that dwell apart
In felowess armament;
There are pioneer souls that blaze their paths
Where highways never ran.
But let me live by the side of the road
And be friend to man.
l see from my house by the side of the road
By the side of the highway of life, n@
The men who press with the ardor of hope
The men who are faint with strife,
But turn not away from their smiles their tears
Both parts of an infinite plan
Let me live in my house by the side of the road
And be friend to man.
l know there are brook -gaddened meadows ahead,
And mountains of weariSome height;
That the road passes through the long afternoon
And stretches away in the night;
But still l rejoice when the fearless rejoice
And weep with the strangers that moan
Nor live in my house by the side of the road
Like man who dwes alone.
Let me live in my house by the side of the road,
Where the race Of men go by.
They are good they bad they weak, they are
strong;
Wise, foolish, but SO am |.
Then why should | sit in the scornerS seat,
Or hurl the cynic'S ban?
Let me live in my house by the side of the road
And be friend of man.

drifted snow and it was impossi-

to its destination and it laid over
here for the night. The freight
train, with the snow plow in
front, went out onto the prairie
last evening but did not get far
before becoming wedged in a
drift and word was sent back for
all of the extra men and shovels
in town to come and dig them
out. Later the passenger en-
gine went to the relief of the
freight but also got stalled down
near Fem. Two engines and a
work crew came up this morning
from Lewiston and will try to
open the line across the prairie
today.

Man Lost Near Ferdinand

From reports it seems that Nc
Clary, who had beencuttin wood
on the Goodall ranch west of
Ferdinand, left his cabin on Jan
uary 18th with the intention of
walking to Ferdinand to get his
horses. The man never reached
Ferdinand and repeated attempts
to locate him have proven un-
avaiIing. 1t was bitter cold day
when he started for town and il
is thought he may have become
i'll and sat down and froze to
death. Later SHOWS would have
covered the body and the mystery
may not be solved until spring

quantity, of clothing and persona
effects at his cabin when HI
started to Ferdinand.
