LOSS OF $4,000
PICTURE is FEARED

Iowa City, Feb. "a. Consideration
reigned in art and business circles in
Iowa City, when seven of the finest
oil paintings in the $4,000 collection
of American artists work, now on ex-
hibition at the Iowa City commercial
club, under the auspices of the Iowa
City Fine Arts association, turned
up missing" A search, throughout the
territory covered by the transportation
companies followed; the wires were
kept 'hot" between Iowa City, on the
one hand, and Washington, D. c., ana
Omaha on the other: and finally the
pictures were located not far away.
at West Liberty-where they had been
deposited by error. They were rushed
to Iowa City, hung there, and were
ready for the exhibition. No damage
was done, and the loss is nothing.

At the QUAY,

Five o'clock at the quay, and al.
ready the new day was being made
raucous by the hustle of departure
shouts OF porters, tenders jangling
engine bells, thump of trunks dropped
down sideways, lamentations Of voy-
ayers vainly hunting baggage mislaid.
Out in the stream the Saxonia-a
clean white ship, veritable ark OF re-
the deluge.
In the midst of group of his coun-
trymen Henry J. Sherman stood, feet
wide apart and straw hat cooked
back over his bald spot. He was mar
rating the breathless incidents of the
nights dark hour: .
"Yes, sir, soldier comes to our
rooms about three-thirty o'clock and

THE WAR WITH RATS.

Rat tails are now worth cent each
on one, part of the French battle line.
The general commanding in that Sec
ton has issued the following order If
the day: with the object CT interest
Ing the men in the destruction of rod
ents premium of five centimes shall
be paid for each rat destroyed. The
premium shall be paid every ten days
on presentation of the tails of the
destroyed animals. Tne rats, bearing
vermin susceptible of spreading dis
ease must not be handled, but imnl9d-
lately buried, and the calls done up in
4 paper impregnated with tar or Pc
troleum." The order resulted ir a
tremendous slaughter CT rats, but was
not obeyed in all it's details. 1t ap-

It Is estimated that the rats destroy
ed millions of francs worth of provis-
ions sent to the soldiers by their
friends and relatives at home. An Of
ncer at the front recently wrote his
wife that it would be useless for her
to send him any more provisions, rs
it was impossible to preserve them
from the rats, and in no case had he
any more than single lunch out Of
all tie eatables sent 10 him. Some
surprise has been expressed that sew

hunters, Have been unable to EXTERN

may easily amount to more than one

SERVING YOUTH.

Membership in the reorganized
Commercial association is of especial
Importance to the young men Of the
community. The converse is likewise
true-that the membership of the
young men is important to the Com
mercial association. They, more than
any others, can both put something
into and get something out of the or
ganization. u.
It requires little or no argument to
prove the second Of the above state
ments. The axiom Youth must be
served" shows the value that has been
put on young men. They supply
ideas, enthusiasm and energy. They
are invaluable in almost any work.
The new association most certainly
has need for the ambitious and cap
able young men of Ottumwa.
What men get out of the association
is measured to considerable extent
by what they put into it. Young men
ind 1t easier to get value out, of mem
bership, than do the older men. This
Is due to two things: their ability to
seize upon and turn to account the
new ideas that are developed in such
organizations, and the fact that they
will have more time than their elders
in which to, realize on their invest
ment.
Experience Is about the only school
that turns out really successful men.
No matter how good the preliminary
training has been, no man is finish
ed worker in any line until he has
learned from wide experience. The
young man who belongs to an associa-,
h4
ization will be, will have ample oppor-
tunity to acquire experience of the
very best kind in the very shortest
time. BY mixing with his elders, by
talking over common problems. by get
ting into the harness. by cooperating
with others, the young man will broad
en- out his own experience land gain
much valuable knowledge from the
experiences of others with whom ne
will come in contact. He will get
grasp on business details, on matters
Of commerce, industry and labor, that
he otherwise would spend years in &C
quiring and might easily fail entirely
to get. The constant association with
the men who have made their mark,
the mon who have been successful,
the men who have been through the
mill Of life, will have a great influence
on shaping the life of young man
and keeping him in the paths that lead
TO success. If he has ability. energy,
and ambition, he can not fail to get
great value out of membership in
the Commercial association; he can
not fail to profit in an ever increasing
ratio to the amount of time, thought,
energy and money that he puts into
the organization .Lt.....
