COUNTRY MEETING
CAPTURES A BIG
CHARIVARI PARTY

| The meeting held last night evening
at Columbia school house In Van
Buren, township was a big one due
partly to the capture OF a charivari
party in the neighborhood The elder
men who were ON hand at the hour OF
the opening OF the meeting made
dash acros no mans land in automo-
btles and brought into camp the entire
party of joyous nuptalians. The school
house was filled with the audience
after that.
J. o. Boyd and L. G. Mckinley soon
changed the keynote OF the evening
into serious consideration of the
needs Of the Lee county and Iowa sol
diers fighting in the trenches. Both
made sctrong speeches which gripped
the audience and made strong i'm
preston.
Later the local committee met with
the speakers and planned the cam
paign of soliciting in that part of Van
Buren, township. Owing to the rush
OF farm work just now, the commit
tee asked the privilege of taking sub
scriptions after the Red Cross week
closes and something will be done
along this line.
VIII Montrose Fall Behlnd7
The meeting scheduled for the park
band stand at Montrose last evening
did not show the appreciation Of the
situation that has been found in every
other part of southern Lee county
Apparently it had not been suffi-
GENTLY boosted as a meeting-or else
Montrose has lost its long time en-
ergy Of keeping itself in the lead in
things worth while.
But finally, considerable audience
was secured which was addressed by
Edward w. McManus, who awakened
the people before him to the serious.
ness of the present crisis and the ne
cessity for every American doing his
part in some way. e. L. Williams.
manager of the telephone company in
Keokuk also spoke.
The committee meeting following
the addresses indicated that Montrose
will come down the home stretch
all right and not fall behind the other
towns and communities Of the county,
Of which it is the largest.
