The workers, numbering more than
hundred, then assembled in Ave
groups under five district managers,
and divided into teams preparatory to
the field work today. Before noon an
other big bond sale was reported, that
to Frank Brennecke, for $4,000. and an.
other to Mrs. Jennie Reed Kirby,
widow of G. F. Kirby, for $4,000.

Parties by auto went into the coun-
try today. The banks reported that
approximately half of all their depos-
its were credited to the farmers. which
would indicate that the farmers should
take half of the million dollars worth
of government. bonds. This would re-
quire 500 farmers to take $1,000 each,
and it seemed huge task, but it is
being attempted.
Mr.. Norris explained that the farmer
has everything to gain and nothing to
lose in taking war bonds, for the
United States guarantees both prin
cipal and interest, but If the govern
ment fails TO get the money it needs
it has only two alternatives one to
place tax upon land and the other
arbitrarily to fix the price of hogs at
half the present market price so as
to get two hogs for the present price
of one. The government is going to
get the hogs" said Norris, because
armies must have hog meat or they
cant march" If money comes easy on
bonds the government can buy $50

AS the result Of the meeting of
workers at the Marshalltown Club a
hundred or more bond statesmen went
out with enthusiasm today, confident
that Marshalltown and its vicinity
could invest a million dollars in gov
eminent bond patriotism. Their meet

not the least of which was a subscrip-
ton for $1,000 worth Of Liberty bonds

Men who came 10 the meeting feel

be put over were relieved TO learn that
the banks Of Marshalltown had under
taken TO sell to their customers pri-
vately 100000. and that the committee
had already secured large subscriptions
from the commercial interests OF the
city amounting 70 sl05,000. When the
time arrived for the solicitors to put
IN their own subscriptions a total Of
$4,000 was quickly taken by seventy
persons, many others being present

TWO CARS WRECKED.
Autes Collide on Curve, Badly Damag.
Inc 6oth-Drivers Not Hurt.

Two cars, driven by r. Z. Shelton.
. garage owner of LeGrand, and Law
renee De Frantz, of Montour, collided
on a curve a short distance west of
Montour Monday afternoon. Both cars
were badly wrecked. but neither driver
was seriously injured, altho De Frantz
suffered slight bruises and cuts in be-
ing thrown from his car. The accident
happened because both drivers were on
the inside track of the road. Two
wheels, the fender, and running board
were torn from one side of the Shell
ton car, and the front axle and radiator
were damaged. The body Of De Frantz's
new car was torn from the frame. the
springs were broken, and the fender
on one side badly damaged. 1t is vari-
ously estimated that it will require
from $500 to 5000 to repair the cars.

German American Patriots.

When Mr.. Norris had finished read
INF the names of these subscribers he
called for som, one in the audience to
start the subscription from the floor
right. c. A. Buchwald jumped to his
feet with an order for $4,000. and the
crowd shouted its applause. Buchwald
subsidized, somewhat surprised and en-
Darrased, but the chairman used the
incident to force home the observation
that statesmen need not fear to ap-
proach German Americans. for this
patriot Of the United States had been
born in Germany. Shortly afterward
Henry Goecke volunteered his own

MARY STUART.

1t was $50 years ago today that
Mary Stuart, Queen of Scots, was be-
headed at Fother:ngay Castle, when
she was forty-four years old. From
her infancy Mary caused trouble. Her
father, James ", died when ST was
six days old, and the mobiles imme-
diately began disputing over Mary's
guardianship. The Earl of Arran
eventually became regent, and re-
fused the proposal Of Henry VIII.
that Mary be married to his son Ed
ward This started a war, in which
the Scots were defeated. larry was
then sent to France and married to
the Dauphin, afterwards Francis H.,
who died in 1860. His eighteen
year-old widow returned to Scotland
and soon married her cousin, Lord
Darnley. The latter was murdered,
and Mary married the Earl of Both
we'll, who had a part in Darnley's
taking Off This aroused the anger
of some of the mobiles, who imprison-
ed Mary, but she escaped and fed to
England. There she was accused of
, being involved in a plot against the
life of Queen Eliza beth, and after a
memorable trial, was convicted. Eliz-
abeth having signed the death war;
rant, Marys head was cut off on Feb.
8, 1887.

Verdun, now a military camp, bat

scattered far and wide, will celebrate
today the fete of the towns patron,
ST. Paul of Verdun, seventh century
bishop who had his seat in the an
cient city. The French government
has already commenced plans for the
restoration, of Verdun, AID, if these
are carried out. the city Of ruins will
soon after the war rise from it's ashes,
larger and more beautiful than even
before. Verdun was the Verodunum
Of the ancient Romans, and it was a
magazine for the legions of julius
Caesar. 1t was acquired by the
Franks in the sixth century, and by
the. treaty Of Verdun in 438 it formed
part of the dominions of Lothaire. In
! the tenth century Verdun was defin-
itely conquered by Germany, who in
corporated in the empire, and placed
under the temporal authority of the
bishops In 1853 Henry II. of France
took possession of Verdun and the
surrounding country, and it was for
mally ceded to France in 1648. Dur

opened it's gates to the Prussians, the

ter a brave defense, the garrison of

place held by the Germans, and was

until the autumn of 1873. Verdun
