This great atlas gives the first authentic accounts of
events which led up to the War--a summary of its
great battles-sketches of its great men. 1t gives
special maps showing the various theatres of war
in Europe, and the details Of the great war are in
condensed form for quick and comprehensive read

This partial list of contents gives but little idea of
the vast amount of material contained in this big

front and the splendid map Of the North Sea are
alone worth more than the price of the entire atlas.

Special to Times Republican
Dubuque. May 19-The hearings at
which the state will attempt to confis-
cate large quantity of liquors seized
from drug stores and blind pigs in the
big raid here on May were to have
been held yesterday, but were post
poned until June is. The reason for the
postponement Is that the liquor in
question is now in possession of Sheriff
Kennedy and is being used as evidence
by the grand jury which is in session.
It is understood the proprietors of some
of the drug stores from which the
liquors were seized will contest the
states right to confiscate. will assert
they were conducting their places OF
business in accordance with law and
place on the state the burden of prov
ing to the contrary.
The grand jury already has been in
session two seeks and indications are it
will be another week before it will be
ready to report While there Is the
usual grist Of criminal business to be
Investigated, the larger part of the

Des Moines, May 1s.-The organizes
tion of the county councils for defense
is proceeding efficiently thruout the
state according to the reports coming
in to the governors office. Apparent
ly all Of the men chosen to represent
the various counties are going at their
work with a patriotic spirit, for they
their counties.
With a member in each township Of
each county, the counties affiliated
with the state and the state with the
national organization it Is apparent
that the state and the country at large
will have most thorough organiza-
ton.
The first big definite task before this
council is that of registration and this
will be put thru promptly as soon as
the president issues his proclamation.
Congress and the president thru the
national council for defense will, Of
course, set the tasks for the state and
county councils to perform and it is
recognized that there will be plenty to
do
Food Survey Next.
1t Is probable that food survey will
be one of the next jobs set for the
county and state councils, which will
include the making of an estimate Of
the supplies now on hand and possibly
an early c-ep estimate. The govern
ment. however, will rely on its regular
force Of crop reporters, maintained at
all times, to secure the necessary in
formation. as to the crop outlook and
possible crop yield
A factory survey and in fact all Of
the resources Of the county may be
asked OF the county councils. 1t is
thus seen that thru this organization
the state and government has the ma
chinery to secure almost any informa-
ton necessary.
The state will have an accurate
check on registration in it's census Of
1915. Thru this the state officials will
be able to check up with the registra-
tion in the counties and Is in a posi-
ton to know if the registration Is COM

Fatal ResuIts

Perry, May 19.-One of the saddest
deaths here in long time was that
Of little Maxine Corey. the 22-months-
old daughter Of Mr.. and Mrs. Will Cor
rey. The little baby's death was due
to poison. She had taken one or more
strychnine' tablets which her father
had been using in an effort to build
up his system after an attack Of pneu-
monia.
Mr.. Corey had set a box Of the
pills on an upper window sill when
his little daughter came into the room
and in her childish way asked her
papa for "a piece Of bead and bud
der" Mr.. Corey went down cellar to
get the butter and when he came back
a minute or two later the child had the
pill box. She had climbed upon a
chair and from the chair to table in
order to get the box.
