FOR SERVICES RENDERED
NOT PROMISES BROKEN

al do not doubt that the people
Of the United States will wish
the Democratic party to con.

The Antiseptic Baby

The antiseptic baby and the pro-
phylactic pup
Were playing in the garden when
the bunny eamboled up.
They looked upon the creature
with a loatbins undiseuised,
1t wasn't disintected. and it wasn't
sterilized!
They said it was a microbe, and
hot bed of disease,
They steamed it in a vapor of
hundred odd degrees.
They iroze it in a freezer that was
cold as banished hope,
And washed it in permaneanate
with carbolated soap
In sulphurated hydrogen they steep
ed its wigeley ears,
They trimmed its risky whiSkerS
with pair OF hard boiled
81 Tears.
They donned their rubber mittens
and took it by the hand,
And 'Iected It a member Of the
fuml gated band
There's not a miCrOCOCCuS in the
garden where they play,
They swim in pure iodotorm a
dozen times day:
And each imbibeS his ratlnnS from
a hyeienic cup.
The bunny. and the baby. and the
prophylactiC pup.

Militiamen Still
Members Of Guard

The members Of Company L,
Council Bluffs Dodge Light Guards,
read with considerable trepidation
yesterday morning the PRESS dispatch
announcing the approval by the SEN
ate of the conference report on the
Hay resolution drafting the National
Guard into tn regular army, and the
concurrent decision that the refusal
Of the guardsmen to take the required
oath does not in any manner change
their status in the National Guard.
II was said there was almost a
shudder when some of the recalci-
trants discovered they were still SOL
diers subject to the call of the gov
ernor of Iowa and the president Of
the United States, and may be sent
anywhere the president directs as
long as 1t is not outside the national
boundary.
Word came from Des Moines yes
terday afternoon to the effect that
some particular effort would be made
to gather up all Of the guardcmen
throughout the state who have re-
fused to follow their comrades, put
them into other military organiza-
tons and get them to the Mexican
border as soon as possible.
School children of Liverpool made
enough by collecting and selling old
medicine bottles to buy a completely
equipped automobile ambulance for

Likely to Be Fight
Over the Office Of
School Treasurer

The banks which have been fur
nishing for the last ten years the $751;
900 bond required from George 5.
Davis as treasurer OF the school
board, yesterday officially notified
him that the usual custom had been
observed and his official bond had
been extended for the period of an
other year.
A very pretty controversy has
arisen concerning the validity Of the
bond filed Thursday afternoon by
Joe w. Smith, the new school treas
urer elected last March. The law is
considerably complicated and admits,
as most Of the laws do, of several
constructions. Local lawyer differ,
and Mr.. Davis has been advised that
he will undoubtedly have right to
maintain his official relation to the
school for the period of another year.
Mr.. Smith has been as confidently
assured that there is no question
about the validity OF his action and
that nothing lbs occurred to impair
his hold upon the office to which
he was elected by very large ma
jority of the voters Of the city at
the school election on March IA.
The law under which all Of the
school bonds have been filed dis
tinctly provides that the treasurer
must file his bond within ten days
after the official notification Of his
election.
A new law has been recently passed
for the purpose Of meeting the con-
ditions brought about by the election
Of members OF the Board Of County
Supervisors. One member is elected
y.ar in advance Of the time he is
to be inaugurated, and to prevent the
expense and annoyance of filing a
bond year in advance the law per.
mits him to qualify by filing the bond
just before he takes office. Although
not specifically stated, several of the
local lawyers hold that this law ap-
plies to all officers who take their
positions long afte: the date Of
election.
The office involves a great deal of
responsibility and is purely an hon
orary function. 1t formerly paid
salary of about $1,000 } year, but
state law passed several years ago
cut off all of the salary.
The annual meeting Of the board
will be held this evening and unless
the courts are appealed to the matter
will be settled in favor of Mr.. Smith.
Treasurer Davis said last evening he
would stand pat and retain the office
until legally dispossessed.

BLUFFS PEOPLE ON
A VISIT TO CAMP
Return From Des Moines,
Where They See. Boys
at Work.
COMPANY FUND LACKING

A dozen members Of the FINLEY
family, J. J. Hughes, Dr.. R. B. Tubbs
and several members Of the Wiekham
families were among the Council
Bluffs people who returned yesterday
from Des Moines, where they spent
all Of the time possible at Camp
Dodge, visiting the Dodge Light
Guards. They added considerable to
the uniformly good reports that have
come from Des Moines showing the
irreproaehable good conduct and high
stage of efficiency the young men
have attained.
The Guards are declared to be the
Woodworking COM my In the camp
and are generally referred to as the
crack company OF the National Guard.
They are devoting seven hours each
day to drill work, and are making
records in all other directions that
are squirting the companies Of other
regiments. .-.
Bob" Wickham, steaming with
perspiration, and beaning with good
nature, was drilling squad during
the hottest part Of Thursday after
noon. In another part Of the field
was Will Maurer, also a corporal,
working out another squad. Every
member Of the company was doing his
best to fully discharge all Of his
duties.
The only thing the young men were
found to lack was company cash
fund, and in this respect they were
said to be the most deplorably situ-
ated OF all the companies in camp.
When the boys left here Captain
Powell was given company fund
Of $50, contributed by few Of his
friends and business men. From this
fund all of the little incidentals had
to be provided, including the cash
fares for the return Of the young
men who were rejected or sent home
for other reasons. The boys had to
pay for all OF the straw they used for
their beds, provide all Of the little
extras for company mess tent, includ-
ing even butter. 1t also costs 40 cents
car fare to make a round trip from
the camp to the city. The result has
been that many Of the real little COM
forts that other companies are enjoy
ing are denied the Bluffs boys. When
the Glenwood boys left home the citi-
zens OF the town raised a company
fund Of $500, and the members of the
company have been permitted to en-
Joy Injuries that are denied their
comrades in arms.
This situation was called to the at
tention OF ]. J. Hughes after he had
made 4 cash donation to the exhausted
fund sufficient to permit the boys to
have butter for their suppers Thurs.
day night. Yesterday he suggested
the collection OF . fund here to the
amount Of SIS or 500 and at once
put the plan In operation. Postmaster
George F. Hughes started It with =
check for S. and others followed. 1t
| 10 believed that when public attention
10 called to the matter that the desired
amount will be quickly raised. All
contributions should be left at the Of
flee Of Mr.. Hughes, or may be given
to Postmaster Hughes at the post
office.
