CAMP DODGE AN INTERESTING
PLACE,

Delaware county people who visit
ed the Iowa State Fair at Des Moines
last week also visited the Cantonment
site at Camp Dodge some ten miles
north of the city. In few months
time Camp Dodge has been changed
from a city of brown tents to city OF
frame buildings, representing at the
present time an expenditure of over
two million dollars. 1t is indeed an
interesting place. Thousands of work.
men are erecting buildings in hurry.
Other workmen are putting in water
and sewer systems, while still others
are putting up light poles and wiring.
A goodly number of the barracks are
practically completed, and while at the
Camp last week the Manchester visit
ors saw fourteen hundred officers from
the training camp at Ft. Smelling enter
the new barracks, preparatory to re-
ceiving the new national army, five
per cent of which is being mobilized
this week.
Manchester people found Major Ut
ley, Capt. w. F. Grossman, Lieuts. Fred
Miller and Thos. D. Wilson, and many
of the boys OF Company H at Camp
Logan and Camp Dodge, and all were
in first class physical condition and
in good spirits. The visitors are all

FRED HAUG HAS NARROW ESCAPE

FIXED HAUL Has NAhhVV LSCAfL =
Fred Haug had a narrow escape
from a very serious injury If not
death while at work in their machine
shop last Friday afternoon. While re-
pairing a gasoline tank an explosion
occurred which tore the tank to
pieces and one end of the tank was
thrown against Mr.. Haug's head.
The tank had been thoroughly drained
and a stream of water sent through
it before the soldering iron was ap-
piled. When the men began to solder
up a leak the heat caused some Of the
gasoline which had evidently been
lodged in some part of the tank to ex-
plode, with the result that terrific
explosion took place. For time it
was feared that Mr.. Haug's sense Of
hearing had been destroyed. The in
jury inflicted by the explosion is yield
ing to treatment and Mr.. Haug will
soon be over the effects of the Injury.

DUNDEE ON THE MAP.

Progressive citizens of Dundee, af-
ter three attempts to incorporate the
town, won their fight recently when
majority of the citizens of that place
voted in favor Of the plan. The cleo
ton of a mayor and city council was
held August 20 and was hotly contest
ed. Following is list Of the men
elected to the various offices:
Mayor. L. Gilbert.
Clerk-Earl Leedham.
Treasurer-Byron Robinson.
Councilmen-F. G. Larribee, G. H.
Matin, E. H. Schroeder, George Pond
and J. H. Zemenek.
It is doubtful whether any of the
towns along the Great Western have
equa1led Dundee in growth. While
not having experienced any great
boom, Dundee has had the benefit of
steady, healthful growth that in
sures a prosperous future.
Dundee and surrounding territory is
also noted for its scenic beauty. With
in short distance is located the "Dev-
lis Backbone" comprising about 600
acres of land and comprising many
spots of unusual beauty. Trout fishing
is possible here in the small streams
that wind their way through the heav-
lily wooded sections. At this point was
fought the Indian battle Of Otoowana
whose burial grounds are still distin-
guishable. Thousands Of people from
northern Iowa spend their annual va
cations here and find enjoyment in
the real outdoor life it affords.
Midway between Dundee and the
Devils Backbone" is located the pio-
neer town of Forrestville, which, in
the early days, was the business CEN
ter of Delaware county. The old stone
mill is practically all that is left of
this once famous town. The mill,
which is still in operation, derives its
power from the old-fashioned water
wheel that was used in the early days.
A huge dam at this point supplies the
water necessary to operate the mill
and provides a body of water suitable
for fishing and boating. Dundee citi-
zens have hopes that some day the
beauty of the scenery may attract
enough attention to warrant move
ment to establish a park in this terri
tory.

AN ADDITION TO ORIGINAL RED
CROSS SUBSCRIPTION.

When the original Red Cross sub
scription papers were circulated in
Manchester, Hon. r. w. Thrill was alb
sent from home in hospital near Chi
cago. At that time a number of Man
chester men subscribed $25.00 each,
and Mr.. Thrill did not want his illness
to prevent him from doing "his bit'
the same as some of his fellow towns
men had done. Last week he gave
the Red Cross his check for $25.00, and
inasmuch as the list of original sub
scribers was published, it is quite pro-
per to note this addition to the list.

WHEAT CROP BRINGS GOOD RE-
TURNS.

Henry Todd marketed the wheat
crop from ten acres of land last Fri
day and the returns obtained were
quite remarkable. The wheat was sold
to Barr Bros. and weighed out to an
average of SO bushels to the acre. The
price paid was s2.25 per bushel, Civ
ing Mr.. Todd return of $74,25 per
acre for his wheat crop. Who's afraid
to pay $4,000 an acre for land that
will nearly pay for itself in two years?

warning they inhaled deeply of this
poisonous gas, and many suffered in
consequence. Peter is badly affected
and yet not enough to be laid aside
permanently. We have pleaded with
him to 60 to a doctor, but he is so
afraid that he might have to 60 to a
hospital and miss the big offensive,
that we can scarcely persuade him to
do So He has to return to the front
in three days time and will leave us
full of courage and hope, and with an
unchanging purpose and confidence.
must tell you what to us was the
most inspiring moment Of that whole
demonstration yesterday. For after
two detachments of soldiers had pass
ed down the Mall, we saw coming
through the gates a small group Of
men, white haired and bent, their
steps tottering, a striking contrast to
the superb figures of the soldiers pre-
ceding them. Then we noticed the
banner that they carried at their
head, and it read:
London Detachment of the Civil
War Veterans, 1S6O-1S65." and under
meath: "Not for Ourselves but for
Our Country"
As they tottered past US that little
group Of not more than Is or 20 old
white-haired veterans of the Civil War
we stopped cheering, and found our
selves weeping instead. We remem-
bered that both my husbands father
and my own had laid down their lives
ultimately on the altar of liberty, Civ
ing them gladly for freedom and for
the preservation of our country. And
it gave us a new understanding Of the
spirit which animated the younger
men who had come across the sea to
uphold the same glorious standard.
How the crowds cheered, not only at
these dear old veterans, but during the
time the remainder of the thousands
of young soldiers swept past. Such a
demonstration truly has never been
seen on these old London thorough
fares, and we returned to our little
home gladdened and with faith and
hope stimulated.
The other day I was to meet my
husband in the Park, and at the time
appointed 1 found him sitting on the
grass with two American soldiers.
When I came up he said: Here's a
boy you would line to meet" And I
shook hands with him and asked him
where he was from. He told me, "Ce-
dar Rapids" No wonder felt like
patting him on the back. A railroad
man he was, I believe brakeman,
and he had often been to Manches-
ter on his run. The other boy with
him was from Chicago. 1t did seem
good to exchange few remarks about
Iowa and the homeland.
America can we'll be proud Of these
men whom she is sending over as her
representatives, and be assured that
over here, hearts are grateful and
happy that our great republic has come
to the help of those who have fought a
long drawn-out and bitter fight for
the right of freedom and democracy.
