SURPRISE FOR BOYS

FIRE SATURDAY.

Phil Kearney Post at the close OF
their regular order of business Satur.
day p. m, were Joined by the w. r.
&. and Ladies of the G.. A. r. in an
impromptu camp fire ami social gath.
ering which was greatly enjoyed by
all. this feature OF the meeting was
to the comrades, the arrangement
with the ladies having been hurriedly
and quietly made by J. B. McCurdy
a comrade who is always active in en-
tertainment for the old soldiers.
There was a large number of the
comrades present, which together
with the ladies, filled the post room
to it's capacity.
The occasion was in the nature OF
a reception to Capt. c. P. Searle, now
living in Santa Barbara, Calf, who
was charter member of the Post
and its first commander.
Capt. Searle who is now past 81
years of age was given 3 very cordial
greeting by his old friends and com
rades, as we'll as by the ladies. He
gave the company a very interesting
talk reminiscent of the old days in
Oskaloosa, and referring TO the alb
sence of the familiar faces of the
Comrades who had passed away, to
getner with an account of the prepar
atoms he has everywhere observed
for the war in which we are now en-
gagged and comparing same with SINH
lar scenes and incidents, so well re
membered in the war of 1876. His
talk indicated a still active mind
abreast with the times and a heart
overlooking with love of country and
loyalty to the old flag.
Remarks were made by other com
rades and in response from request
to hear from the ladies well chosen
remarks were made by Mrs. B. F. Cru
zen, Mrs. F. d. Reid, Mrs. Maude Pat
terson and Mrs. j. i. Pearson.
Refreshments were then furnished
by the ladies consisting of ice cream
coffee and cake, tastefully prepared
and daintily served, after which the
audience were favored with reading
by little Miss Belmah Critchfleld, en-
titled "Old Glory" This beautiful trib'
ute to the flag was most effectively
and charmingly rendered by the little
Miss and gives evidence of more than
ordinary talent along that line in one
! SO young.
After short time spent in social
greetings the meeting closed, all feel
ing that they had been highly enter
tanned.

overcome the U-bcat."
Every facility was given to the sen
ators for obtaining first-hand infor
nation regarding England's ship
building efforts, which they said wer.
colossal. They were especially inter
ested in the new standard ships which

the wings, and three feet from the
end of the bill to the tip of the tail.
The smaller one measures five feet

The following telegram sent by the
Provost Marshal General to the gov
errors of all the states may effect the
standing of many Mahaska county
drafted men who have been exempted
from military service by the local OK.
Iemption board in accordance with the
new draft regulations unofiicially an.
nounced. The local board acted upon
the advice of the governor and may
be called to reverse its decisions.
The telegram says:
ITO All Governors: Inquiries from
several states indicate that the i'm.
preston exists that the proposed
change in the regulations involving
classification of registrants will be eff
fective before the present quota is in
camp. This impression is a mistaken
one. The entire first quota will be
chosen under the regulations now in
force. AS the new regulations are as
yet in tentative form and will not be
retroactive it is manifestly inadvisable
, to answer questions concerning them
or to construe or interpret them at
| this time.
