KENNEDY SAYS
Full Has Not the Least Effect in
Getting Commission in the
New National Army
Going to France,

congressman G. A. Kennedy, who
is going over his district a little in
the snort time before congress meets.
Is grad that pull has no influence in
the appointments to commissions in
the new army.
The young man from Keokuk or
elsewhere who obtains commission
gets it solely on his merits" Con-
gresham Kennedy said to a reporter.
in the officers training camps, and
pull does not help him in the least.
Ih1s is one of the most admirable
FEATURES of the organization of the
new national army. No hand made
poiltlcai officers are tolerated. This
was proven in the case of a number
OF sons of influential members of
congress, who failed in their exami-
nations for commissions and were
unceremoniously sent home or given
another chance, on the same plane
as the lad who had no influence or
powerful friends or relatives to in
tercede for him.
THE war department and the off,
GERS thereof distinctly resent any
effort to foist officer talent upon
them. The interference of members
of congress makes no impression
upon them. In fact, l would say that
the young man who enters any of the
training camps unincumbered by Gre
dentials or recommendations from
political sources rather prejudices
his case in the start This is a self
made army we are forming And, for
this reason, it will be efficiently Off
cered."

day when he gave out the news of the

commonly called temperament which
makes some very good musicians i'm
possible to associate with very long.
The members of the Keokuk band all
like him enthusiastically.

dig when some naughty band boys
exchanged little conversation in the
midst of rehearsal one night left q
vacancy in the post of director which
the management decided to fill with

was contracted with and will take the
baton at once.
He has told the management that he
will play more popular music of a
high type without sacrificing the mus

otto music, of which there is much
that Is really good unsteady, will be
given while the war lasts in every
program. and other compositions in

few years the yields of wheat and
oats per acre have surprised the agri-
cultural world. As much as sixty BUSH
els of wheat per acre has been grown
on some farms, while others have fur
nished affidavits showing over fifty
bushels of wheat per acre, and oats as
high as one hundred and twenty bush
els per acre. One reputable farmer
makes affidavit to crop return of over
ffty-four thousand bushels of wheat
from a thousand acres. While this is
rather the exception than the rule,
