attempt to poison the guests
The nature Of the poison discovered
and fear that perhaps "A slow acting

banquet Viands prompted the city

sight it is-those splendid young fell
lows. their vigor, their fine physique.
above all their exhibition of loyalty
The race knows that existence is
something more than merely to make
a comfortable living and have good
time. If that were all, then it would
be highly foolish to volunteer to de-
fcnd ones country. But there is no
man, no matter how sordid, who does
not feel in his heart that it is not all
of life to live, nor all of death to die.
1t is this divine spark of loyalty and
devotion that has made it possible
for mankind to work its way upward
from merely animal existence to its
present estate. Humanity never has
been content to accept the world on
the basis of let us eat and drink for
tomorrow we die. Its high purpose.

predicting victory for the united

On motion the matter of nominal

ed Of the delegates from the district.
On motion committee Of one

tionery furnished free to the soldiers
The tent is open night and day for
the use of the boys. The best phase
of this is that the Y. NJ. C. A. camp,
with all the above equipment and its
efficient corps of workers. will &C
company the regiment to the border.
In this tent at intervals talks are
given on dentistry and health, SO
that the boys may learn how to take
care of themselves as they should.
Four ambulance trucks have been
recently given to the regiment by
Des Moines firms and these will al
SO accompany the boys to Texas.
One of the boys in camp was asked
confidentially how he liked it down
there. His reply was this, "Oh!
it is Just fine. | only wish I could

And this is the general sentiment.
the only regret is for the ones at
home who are finding it hard to re-
concile themselves.
For the boy who has been incor-
rigible. who has been sowing wild
oats with liberal hand. the enlist
ment into the camp is one of the
best things that could have happen
ed to him. Strict discipline. obedi-
ence to commands. hard plain fare.
regular habits and restraint from
wrong doing-these things are the
things the boys are learning in the
school of army life at Camp Dodge.
Visitors will doubtless be going
to Des Moines every day this week.
For these it might be we'll to state
that the shortest way is to drive
straight south through Stanhope to
Lincoln highway, crossing the high
way, then directly south to Polk
City, from where it is only about six
miles to Camp Dodge. To go by
Des Moines, it is to go about twelve
miles out of the way.

Last to Cross Border.

Mr.. and Mrs. A. d. Bailey, who
have been spending the winter in
Redlands. California, are now on the
way to their home in this city. Ac-
cording to the following from Red
lands. California, newspaper, Mr.. and
Mrs. Bailey were among the last who
were allowed to cross the Mexican
border in that vicinity:
Although agitation and criticism
never seemed to disturb Tia Juana,
the threat of war is rapidly empty
ing the stables OF the race track.
The spectacle of 700 or more race
horses being hurried across the in
ternational line from Tia Juana to
San Diego was witnessed by Mr.. and
Mrs. A. S. Taylor of this city and
Mr. and Mrs A. D. Bailey of Web
ster City, Iowa, who returned yes
terday from an automobile trip to
the exposition city and the border.
The Redlands party were among
the last Americans permitted to
cross the boundary line between the
United States and Mexico. The
American guards at the customs
house related the amusing change in
temper on the part Of the Mexican
guards since the beginning of strain
ed relations between the two nations.
Their friendly attitude of years was
changed to one of hostil
ity.
Mr.. and Mrs. Taylor and Mr.. and
Mrs. Bailey felt safe in crossing the
line because of the presence in the
of several companies of reg
ular United States troops.
