MYERS.-Thomas II. Myers was
born near Van Vert, Ohio, June g,
1844, and departed this life, Wednes-
day, July IL, 1917, after an extended
illness, aged 73 years, / month and
Is days. He was an only son and
both parents passing away when he
was lad of tender years, he was TAX
on into the family of Ira Cavett, a
well-tO-do farmer of the Van Vert To-
cality, and was reared and educated,
as would have been an own son of
these worthy people. In the stir
ring times of the Civil war Thomas
Myers enlisted and served through
the conflict as a member of the 88th
Ohio Volunteer Infantry. Following
the close of the war he returned to
the old home locality in Ohio, but he
was anxious to enteE the greater &C.
tivity of life for himself. John
Clayworth, neighbor who had emf
grated to Iowa some years before,
gave such glowing accounts of the
state that young Myers was moved
to take up residence in the west. He
came to Mahaska county along in the
sixties and purchased a farm in
Spring Creek township east of Oska-
loosa and here he lived and prosper
ed until along in the nineties when
he disposed of his properties here,
the farm no being known as the Louis
M. Towns place, returned TO Ohio
and purchased the Ira Cavet@ farm
upon which he had spent his boyhood
days and where he died. Mr.. My
ers was twice married, the first wife
being a Miss Martha Mcdonald. Two
sons came to this union, Ray Myers,
now deputy chief of police of Oska-
loosa, and Mark Myers of Grinnell.
The second marriage was with Lu-
visa Stump, to whom three sons were
born, Ross, Lee and Guy, all of whom
are living and of the Van Vert neigh
borhood in, Ohio.
Beside the members of his imme,
diate family deceased leaves a host
of friends and personal acquaintance
who feel a personal loss in his death
and passing. Mr.. Myers was kind
ly man, respected and beloved by all
who knew him or who came in con-
tact with his character in the ave
nues of daily life. Neighbors and
associates acknowledge the influence
of his example and the memory of his

NEW NATIONAL
ARMY MEN GET
HIGH HONORS
Lykens Valley Turns Out to
Pay Tribute to Seven Who
Will Go September 19
(By Staff Correspondent

ElizabethvilleI Pa, Sept. g.
Lykens Valley to-day is the proudest
part of Dauphin county, Elizabeth
Vile is boasting of it's history-mak-
ing achievement, while seven young
men of that beautiful valley. are re-
covering from the greatest expert
ence of their lives. All these things
are the result of the big and glorious
celebration which was held last
evening in Elizabethville in honor of
the eight young men from that dis
trict who are to be the first to leave
as members of the new draft army.
Eight thousand residents of Lyk-
ems Valley and nearby towns gather
ed in EliZabethville and there on the
athletic field of that town seven
young men sat on the platform for
over an hour listening to their
praises being sung and receiving the
good wishes and God-speeds of the
entire populace. 1t was an inspir-
ing sight. The sight of the best
blood of the valley ready to leave to
gathering TO great enthusiasm and
in many instances wild bursts of ap-
plause followed the patriotic remarks
of the speakers. Patriotism was the
keynote of the assemblage and from
the time Chief Marshal p. l. Bona
witz sounded the signal that started
five hundred people in the parade
in honor of the occasion until 1890
when James e. Lentz, recorder. of
deers of Dauphin county and chair
man of the gathering at the athletic
field, announced the closing of the
exercises there was something doing.
Autos Stream In
For several days plans have been
under way for this celebration. At
first it was thought that the young
tmen would leave with the first con-
tingent September 5. The announce
ment that Camp Meade would not be
ready for occupation until the nine
teenth did not stop the planners.
Last night was set as the date and
last night the celebration was held,
AS early as o'clock in the after
noon automobiles began to arrive in
Elizabethville. At 6.30 the number
had increased to several hundreds,

SEAMEN
OTCLASSEDAS
CONTRACT LABOR

Despite the protests OF labor leaders
at the employment Of Chinese on
American ships, vessels passing
through from the Orient show that ad-
vantage is being taken of favorable
decision recently given by the federal
court in Washington that their en-
ployment is not a violation OF the con-
tract labor law.
This was a decision handed down
early last month, when the supreme
court held that the contract labor laws
did not apply to seamen.
Paul Scharrenberg, a San Francisco
labor leader. has sued the Dollar
Steamship Co. for penalties, alleging
violation Of the act. ocno--"Hberg,
who is secretary Of the California
State Federation Of Labor. declared,
after news Of the supreme court do
cision was received, that it would
throw open the doors of the country
for the shipping companies to import
Chinese by the wholesale to run Amer.

Andrew Furuseth OF the Sailors
Union of the Pacific said:
- 40 suing " uIkION Nlll'
nese. then We will have to find some
thing else to do. 1t means that we
will have to look for other jobs"
The attitude taken by labor men
that the decision is going to serve as
a stumbling block for the develop
ment of American seamen is a mis-.
taken one" said Captain Dollar. AT
the present time there. is need to
bring in foreign seamen only in small
numbers, and these just enough to
fill out short handed crews. The
large number of ships which are be.
ing built in American shipyards and
the high wages which are being paid
seamen Is warrant enough to secure
enough of young American manhood
for sea duty. After the war Chinese
sailors will be necessary. A drop Is
sure to occur in both wages and ship
rates, and 1t will be necessary to EN-.
ploy the cheap Chinese labor in order
to carry on competition. AS to Chi.
nese entering the coastwise trade,
that is absurd. The law prevents
that and there the big field will lie
for American seamen who remain in
the service"

BEGIN HOT WATER
DRINKING IF YOU
DON'T FEEL RIGHT
Says glass Of hot water with
phosphate before breakfast
washes out poIsons.

II you wake up with bad taste, bad
breath and tongue is coated; if your
head Is dull or aching; if what you eat
sours and forms gas and acid in stom-
ach, or you are bilious, constipated,
nervous, sallow and can't get feeling
just right, begin inside bathing. Drink
before breakfast, a glass of real hot
water with a teaspoonful of limestone
phosphate in it. This will flush the
poisons and toxins from stomach. liv-
er, kidneys and bowels and cleanse,
sweeten and purify the entire alimen-
tary tract. Do your inside bathing i'm.
mediately upon arising in the morning
to wash out Of the system all the pre-
vious days poisonous waste, gases and
sour bile before putting more food
into the stomach.
To feel like young folks feel; like
you felt before your blood, nerves
and muscles became loaded with body
impurities, get from your pharmacist
a quarter pound of limestone phos-
plate which is inexpensive and al
most tasteless, except for a sourish
twinge which is not unpleasant.
Just as soap and hot water act on
the skin, cleansing, sweetening and
freshening, so hot water and limestone
phosphate act on the stomach. liver,
kidneys and bowels. Men and women
who are usually constipated. bilious,
headachy or have any stomach dis
order should begin this inside bathing
before breakfast. They are assured
they will become real cranks on the
subject shortly.-Adv.

BRITISH SEIZE
MORSE ship With
Mines IN CARGO

g0torwegian ships and their com.
Nhnders are under suspicion in Aus
tralian waters since a vessel OF that
country was oVerhauled less than two
months ago by a British cruiser and
discovered TO have mines concealed in
her forward hold, says one of the off,
GERS Of an Oceanic steamer in port to-
day.
The purported Norwegian vessel
had been to Melbourne and discharged
a cargo. after which she was over
taken by a cruiser between that port
and Adelaide. A search Of the vessel
revealed the mines slowed away in
the forward hold.
II has never been made clear in
Australia whether the Norwegian yes
sci was discovered sowing the mines
or whether the vessel was searched
as the result Of Information received
from Melbourne stevedore.
One story was that the Norwegian
vessel was discovered in the unneutral
act by the cruiser crew. Another that
q stevedore's suspicion was aroused by
the care shown by the Norwegian off.
GERS in guarding a portion Of the for
ward hold cargo and that his informa.
ton given to the authorities led to the
seizure Of the vessel.
Since the capture OF Commander
Lucknor and two other officers OF the
Seeadler and the ascertaining that the
German raider had succeeded in pass.
ing the British blockade in the Allan.
tic disguised as a Norwegian vessel,
II Is thought the unfriendIy Norwegian
ship captured between Melbourne and
Adelaide may have been pretending a
neutral nationality.
iowever. this Is not generally be-
neyed because the vessel delivered
her cargo to Melbourne, which il is
thought no German ship would have
