On our iirst page will be found an
article taken from the st. Louis Post.
Dispatch, telling of the arrest of ii. b.
krenning, M Of our valley citizens,
IL st. Louis last week, on q charge of
disloyalty. In times like these it is
very much to be regretted, indeed,
that nj valley harbors a single per-
son against whom such acharge can be
preferred.
Frank Dettmer, who for sixteen
years has been employed in the mines
at Flat River, visited his family at Pr
lot Knob this week and was a caller at
the REGISTER office Monday. Mr..
Dettmer recently purchased the form
er home Of his late father, Adolph
Dettmer, in Pilot Knob. Some day
he expects to quit mining and will de-
vote his time to his farm, near Pilot
Knob.
AS contemplate an act of vandal-
ism as attention has been directed
to In a long time was committed in
Ironton last Saturday night. Some
one, using a hammer or some similar
instrument, made a hole, probably
two feet square, in the concrete drive
way leading into the garage in Fletch-
er & Barger's new building. 1t is
hard to conceive the composition of a
person who could be guilty of such a
dastardly act.
The Missouri Fish Commission pass
ed through here last Friday in their
delivery car. A committee of local
citizens met the train and received a
nice lot of young ALPHABETICALLY
bass, and they were planted in Lake
Killarney the same day. This is the
fourth allotment of fish planted in
the lake during past three years. Now
for a rigid enforcement of the law in
order that there may be fishing for all
in a lawful way.
Mr.. Delano says that the October
weather this year has been the cold
est of which he has any record. Last
Friday night the low point was 16 de-
grees. The nearest approach to this
in October was in 1910 when on the
29th of the month-more than two
weeks later-a low point of is was
recorded. Mr.. Delano thinks that a
cold fall and early winter will probably
be followed by mild weather in Janu'
airy and February.
The car OF the Missouri Fish Com
mission, on passenger train No. 23,lett
1000 fish at the Ironton station last
Friday, which were placed in Lake
Killarney, in the Shut-Iu, that after
noon. The fish came from the state
hatchery in st. Louis; most of them
were bass, but there were some perch
and croppie among them. If not mo-
Tested for a.year or go they will afford
b fine sport. A shipment from the fed.
eral hatchery at Neosho, Mo-, viii
probably be received soon.
1t is reported here that Burwell Fox,
Jr., left potosi on October I'd to an.
swer the draft call from Cape Girar'
deau, was married at that place OF
Wednesday last, leaving his bride the
following morning in response te
his country's call. We have not learn.
J ed who the bride is, other than she
holds the position of librarian at the
t State Normal at the Cape. The Mis-
t souri, "Blue Book" gives this H.

The class which has been taking
instruction in making Red Cross Sur
gical Dressings has finished the course
; and took their final examinations OF
Monday. These ladies are now ready
to pass on the knowledge they have
gained to others. The demand fol
these Surgical Dressings is so urgent
that there is need for every woman tt
do her utmost. We hope the Rec
Cross Chapter of Iron County will dt
its full part. This can only be &C
: complished by the hearty co.opera
ton of everyone. We have given oul
i, boys; let US not fail to do all we car
for their care.

arrangements with Mr.. Joseph O'Dell
