RECRUITING WEEK.

This week has been designated
by President Wilson as Recruit
ing week in order to give all who
desire a chance to volunteer be-
for the consumption laws go into
effect. Those who have advocated
the volunteer system are acknowI-
edging they were in error, as the
army is now 10000 men short to
raise the 100000 men needed,
CONSUMPTION was necessary. All
those who desire to enlist before
the CONSUMPTION lists are drawn
should do so this week, as it is
expected that the lists will be out
next week. A recruiting officer
from Company | of Glenwood has
been here the past couple of days
and has enlisted three of Missouri
Valleys finest young men, Floyd
Hardy, Eugene Harker and James
Houghton. Any other young men
of this city who desire to join this
company should communicate
with the officers at Glenwood at
once, as the new men are to be
called July 2 for training.

HORSE UNDER sARA SPELL.

Miss Theda Bara and Teddy
understood each other at once.
Teddy is one of the noblest
horses that ever wore a shoe. He
seemed to share the respect and
admiration the entire world holds
for the greatest star in filmdom
Miss Bara's Introductory pats
on the horses head assured him
he had found a gentle friend.
When she gazed into his eyes
those eyes which enchant and
mystify all who behold them
Teddy seemed to understand. The
unknown emotions of the brute
soul glistened in his eyes and he
affectionately laid his head upon
her shoulder.
So perfectly at ease was Miss
Bara with Teddy that when she
had a few minutes free while
producing the William Fox super
de luxe photodrama Heart and
Soul" founded on Sir Rider Hag-
CARDS Jess" at st. Augustine,
Fla, she would go riding alone.
Miss Bara admitted that often
she became lost in the deep pine
woods, but when she thought il
time to return, she would turn
Teddy, give him a slack rein anC
Teddy always brought her back te
the location.

 the blood came again in volumes. And now I will quote from a newspa- per clipping as to what happened during the rest of the round. because it's de- scription is clear on every point in that round:
 After Corbett had landed his left handler on the nose of Fitzsimmons, which increased the flow of blood. Cor bett stood away and watched Fitz keenly as If to size up his condition. Fftz led and they went into clinch. Bob at tempted to get in a right-hand blow in the breakaway but Corbett was too quick for him. Fitz led with his left which was short and they clnched. As Bob came in, Corbett let out right reaching the Cornishman's jaw. The l blow was only a sort of a balk to pre- pare the way for a right-hand body punch which Corbett drove in with con sirable force. Corbett feinted with
 his left and Fitz ducked Again Cor bett feinted with his left, but this time
 Fitz made no move to get out of the way and Corbett hit him a swift left handler or the bloody nose.
 ] "Fitz swung a left and then right 1 but both were short and Corbett coun- tered with left to the face which drew
 more blood. Fitz rushed in and clinched and continued to cling to Corbett, which action quickly flecked Corbetts body with the gory fluid from Fitz's nose. 1 They broke away and Corbett again l stood studying Fitz. EYervthina
 seemed to be going Corbetts way and
 he was taking his time. He was punch ] ing Fitz alternately in the face and
