first call for a national army Iowa's
two district exemption boards have
now certified for service in the nation

first call in which Iowa's quota is
12,749 men. Those certified in excess
of the number needed, however, will
be the first to report under second
call when it comes. Minnesota is to
furnish 1854; Illinois, 1856; North
Dakota, 5000. The larger portion Of
the allotment for Illinois was sent to
the Cantonment at Rockford. The
army schedule calls for 16 weeks
training. Officers aver that four
months will not be sufficiently long if
the winter should be an exceptionally
severe one. The coming of the men
in installments greatly interferss with
the intensive drilling so essential in
the early part of the work. The delay
in receiving the full quota of men has
put the 10th Cantonment behind all of
the others and it is now believed that

ADJUSTMENTS.
nEAIR AND WARMER"

The large crowd that seated itself In
the Pinney last night forgot all about
Miss Spring hugging the lap of Old
Winter with tenacious disregard for the
meteorological proprieties before the
spectacle of nearly everybody on the
female side of the play almost sitting
in every other mans lap that was not
entitled under the code to hold her.
It was Fair and Warmer" in the
forecast; 1t was hotter in the cast.
Fair and Warmer" is a delightful
farce comedy that could spare a few
of its more suggestive lines without de-
tracing from the necessity of some
thing that is pleasingly risque. But the
innocence of the whole thing relegates
thoughts of improprieties, and the
amusing situations provokes laughs
that flush the face to hide a blush that
may steal on intermittently.
The play is somewhat "Twinbedsque, "
but there's only one bed--in sight 1t
starts out with an explanatory first act
that provokes smiles, it proceeds into
a second act that ripples the audience
with laughter and it ends with an act
that, in the remembrance of it's prede-
cessors, gives the audience a pain-in
the side-from continuous and at times
almost uproarious merriment.
The second scene recalls the pioneer
days of Idaho, when people could legal
ly develop hilarity and enjoy head
ache.
Fair and Warmer" is series of
laugh waves that washes one home in
blissful forgetfulness of the high cost
nf iXipor nd otbnr in1nn6in1nnfS
1t has a clever cast and is smartly
staged.
The engagement closes tonight, with
indications of even a larger house than
greeted it last night.

NEW CHECK BUNCO GAME.
Farmer Signs Petition to Governor
and Bad Check Turns Up Soon
After,

Perry, Ia, Dec. 3.-Alleging that
]. F. Simbro got him to sign a check
when he thought it was a petition
to the governor of Iowa, A. C. Sham
baugh, a wealthy farmer living near
here, caused the arrest of the man.
Simbro is now in the county Jail here
awaiting the action of the grand jury.
Simbro Is charged with working q
game that was unusual. He had been
among the farmers in the vicinity of
Bonneville for several days, it is as
serted, asking them to sign petition
directed to the governor, in which the
chief executive was asked to tell the
public the exact condition of the 1917
corn crop. The petition was so word
ed that the farmers signed it readily
after listening to Simbro's explana-
ton.
One of the men who placed his
signature on the petition was A. c.
Shambaugh, a wealthy farmer, who
lives near Bonneville. He thought
nothing of the matter until he was
called by the cashier of the Boone
vile bank and asked if he had sign
ed check for $500, which Simbro
was trying to cash. The check, it is
believed, had been placed under the
petition with a piece of carbon pa
per intervening.
Papers and letters found on Sim
bro, ofticess say, indicate that he
was mixed up in a number of "get
rich quick" schemes. He had a let
ter in his pocket written to an Audi
bon county farmer, in which he said
he had received a check for $500
from Shambaugh, AID requested that
the farmer send on a car load of cat
tie for which the check was part pay
ment.
