NASHUA IS DEFEATED
IN THRILLING FINISH

With high hopes of winning and lit
tie thought of defeat, the fast Ma
shua team came here on the Fourth
to play the local team for the cham
pionship of the valley.
It was a good game. All those who
saw it will vouch for that, but the
ending was a thriller-just like the
finish of a story in a popular maga-
zine.
Hewitt and Hurry were the battery
for Glasgow, and for Nashua, Boe
and Scoville officiated. For the first
seven innings it was all "Boe." Dur
ing this period Nashua had scored
two runs and in the eighth inning the
score was 2 to 0 in Nashua's favor.
However, in this frame, Reynolds and
Lloyd got on and AL Herstrom came
through with hit, scoring both. In
the ninth inning Chouinard reached
second on an error and scored when
Leo Hurry hit smashing liner to
left center

MANY ATTEND
CELEBRATION
City's Fourth of July Festival
Turns Out a Big Success.
Hundreds of Visitors.
GOODl ENTERTAINMENT FEATURES
Over Three Thousand Visitors Here.
Six Hundred Automobiles at
Fair Grounds During the
Afternoon Events.

Glasgow's free Fourth of July cele-
bration was big success. There was
nothing to mar the carrying out of
the complete program except some
showers towards the close of the
events at the fair grounds, and these
were received more with joy than
gloom by those present.
The program which had been ar
ranged was carried out in detail, and
every number was worth seeing.
After the powder shoots and the
band concerts in the morning, the
decorated automobile parade was the
center of attraction. Besides the prize
winners there were many unique and
we'll decorated cars and floats. The
car of the Lewis -Wedum company
representing the three generations,
was one of the finest in the parade.
The Glasgow Decorating company had
a very fine float. The entire crew of
employees of this firm were seated
on the truck and each wore a white
uniform and red, white and blue
hat. The johnson Plumbing shop and
the Log House Insurance Agency also
had unique floats, and the Glasgow
Flour Mill was represented by three
cars, bearing the inscriptions 1--WE
Make It," eve Bake It," and 1--WE
Eat It,"
After the ball game the events all
took place at the fair grounds. From
IL until 2 p. m. picnic dinner was
served there, and hundreds of families
attended.
The afternoon events all went off
without hitch and every one seemed
perfectly satisfied with the enter
tainment.
From six until eight o'clock in the
evening the merry-go-round was free
for all "kids" under Is. That a record
number took advantage of this goes
without saying.
Dancing on the bowery and the dis
play of fireworks completed the days
program.
The fire works were all that had
been claimed and were by far the best
display that has ever been shown in
the city.
The bowery was crowded all even
ing and the members of Aliens Or
chestra were kept at their posts until
the "wee sma" hours of the morning.
Many compliments were heard from
all sides on the efficient manner in
which the celebration was conducted.

BIG DODGE DELIVERY.

The Fuller Motor company, local

up in front of the Rundle building and
a picture taken of them, with the

abreast and carrying banners bearing
the names of the new owners.

Date for Organization.
All cases involving agricultural OF
industrial exemptions will be passed
upon by the district boards-one fol-
esh federal judicial district-which
T. Yill decide appeals from decisions
of Z xal boards.
In IL, a. future date will be set
by Briga0 General Crowder, pro-
vost marshal -neral, for the meeting
and organization of the boards. At
the same time it is expected that the
selection regulations will be promul-
gated, so that the process may be put
under way without delay. The pres
ent intention is to call the men Sc
lected to the colors about September
/, or as soon thereafter as the can
tonments to house them can be COM
pleted.
In a statement accompanying the
announcement of the regulations, the
president called upon the boards to
do their work fearlessly and impair
TALLY and to remember that "our
armies at the front will be strength
ened and sustained if they be COM
posed of men free from any sense of
injustice in their mode of selection"
Upon organizing, the local boards
will take over from the registration
boards all registration cards which
they will number serially and list for
posting to public view. Then, after
having been advised of the method by
which the order of liability for service
shall be determined and of the quota
to be drawn from its territory (minus
credits for enlistments in the national
guard or regular army, each board
will prepare list of persons desig-
mated for service in the order of their
liability, post the list, give it to the
press, and within three days send no
tice to each designated person by mail.
Physical Examination.
AS the men so notified appear, the
boards first will make a physical ex-
animation in accordance with special
regulations to be provided, bearing in
mind that all persons accepted by
them will be re-examined by army
surgeons. If the physical examina-
tion is passed successfully, then
comes the question of exemption.
Persons who must be examined or
discharged by the local board include:
Officers Of the United States, of the
states territories and the District of
Columbia; ministers of religion, stu
dents of divinity, persons in the mill
tary or naval service of the United
States; subjects Of Germany, all other
aliens who have not taken out first
papers, county or municipal officers,
custom house clerks, workmen in
federal armories, arsenals and navy
yards, persons in the federal service
designated by the president for ex-
emption, pilots, merchant marine sail

An INJUSTICE TO the coNscRlPT.

The Davenport Democrat relates the
case of a jeweler OF that city. who hav
ing been drafted, sold his business on
the market and prepared to join when
he was called. The call was delayed
and he now finds that he has been ez-
empted.
That case is not isolated by any
means. Hundreds of young men who
are under call quit their jobs many OF
them good jobs for almost any job
nowadays pays good wages and sal
aries, Most of them wanted a week to
visit friends whom they might never
see again. SO they quit. And now they
find themselves waiting in idleness and
many OF them find their situation eX-
tremely embarrassing.
Perhaps it is all part of the sacrifice
and disturbance consequent upon the
disorganization OF present affairs in
getting ready for a great war; but Il
is a pity nevertheless and there should
be as little of it as possible. The man
who is to go should be considered His
call should not be made until the au-
thorities know they will be ready 10
take him. If not he should have his
allowance and his wages from the date
of the call for which he has made
preparation.

WOODROW WILSON. SUFFRlGISI.

President Wilson has again aston
ished the nation by coming out fatty
for woman suffrage. He makes equal
suffrage war issue, plants the people
and his party and all other parties be-
hind woman suffrage as one of the
great questions that should be given
immediate consideration and favorable
consideration. Woodrow Wilson is a
suffragist and has placed his followers
behind that issue. President Wilson
is suffragist and has advised and re-
quired of the nation 6e rules that 1t
afford women equal political rights
with men.
Perhaps it is war issue. Anyway
It is and has been an issue that should
be met with honesty and in all SINGER
considered is evident to every persons
comprehension.
The Times Republican long ago came
to the conclusion at which the presi-
dent has arrived
1t is a pity the president had not ar
rived before Maine went hell bent
anti-suffragist. He came late. But he
will be welcome guest and force
full addition TO the ranks of those who
believe a patriotic and useful woman
of intelligence and force should at least
be the political equal of a levee rowdy.

that he dropped the big bag OF chest-
nuts on his left hind toe.
What are you going to do with ALI
those chestnuts p asked the little rab-
bit, and he picked up the bag for his
old uncle and held 1t open SO he could
drop in the chestnuts which he had IN
his paw,
'I'm going to give them to an old
lady bunny who keeps a little stand on
the corner of lettuce and Carrot
streets, said the kind old gentleman
rabbit. ',She is too old to get them
herself" and then Uncle Lucky told his
little nephew to get In. And after
that they drove of toward Rabbitville
and when they came to the old lady
bunny's stand Uncle Lucky gave her
the chestnuts. And vast she pleased?
Well. just guess she was, for there
were as many as ten little rabbits on
their way home from school waitinS
to buy them.
,~Be kind to all old people,
And help them or their way
For they're too old to run about
And much too sti6 to play.
When Old Man rheumatism comes
And makes their, legs like wood,
Just lend to them a friendly hand
And help them as you should"

he drove away to his little homo on
Lettuce street.

alton of more offices to be filed py
political appointment. So the depart
ment came to rely more on republicans
for disinterested and patriotic work
than upon the democratic members OF
committees. And 1t was thus in regard
to much Of the work OF congress. The
Iowa delegation therefore stands high
In the departments, especially In all
those places where politics Is not the
first consideration.
For the high standing Of Iowa in
the senate the credit is due to the
superior intellectual attachments OF the
two senators. The place they hold IS
one they have made for themselves. 1t
is doubtful II any member Of the sem
ate, on the minority side, has the in
fiuence and the high standing OF 1owas
senior senator. They all listen when
Cummins discusses any proposition.
And there is no one more popular ana
on such excellent terms with every body
as the Junior senator, for Kenyon
mingles with them all and Is ever busy.
There is one good reason for the high
standing OF the Iowa delegation In the
lower house that the people at home
do not fully appreciate, the fact that
an Iowa member Is chairman Of the
congressional national committee is OF
immense Importance. This Is the COM
mittee OF the minority which looks az
ter republican interests as d whole, in
relation TO congress. 1t does business
all the while. It is the clearing house
Of ideas regarding the larger issues
which affect American life. The re-
publican minority does work in concert,
and in this committee Is where decision
Is made as to the general lines to be
followed. During the past summer not
a measure but that was sifted over by
this committee. While member from
Illinois IL floor leader for the repnb-
l,cans and one from Massachusetts, rs

so. yet the position held by the member

across the state"
BY way OF recalling little history
IT might be we'll to mention again that
Iowa once upon a time took the lead
In good roads matters by the estab-
lishment of a to river dragged
road. 1t was not long until Iowa had
several cross-state highways, with Or
ganized associations behind them.
Iowa gained no end Of publicity as a
result of this movement. Magazines
and newspapers the country over ex-
plotted 1t.
1t was not many years ago that We
were holding sociablity automobile
runs, cross-state races, and the, like,
all the result Of enthusiasm engen-
dered by the idea Of well-dragged
roads. ssh
But the well-dragged road no longer
enthuses us. People in other states
have ceased to marvel at them. Too
many times they have travelled In the
state at time when drags could not
be used and when nature spoiled the
<best laid plans of man to keep the
highways available.
The real difficulty is that other
states, stung by the popularity that
once was Iowa's have gone one better

There ought to be real envy on the
part of every Iowan after reading the

with the new Kansas road law six
months old, practically every county

THE VOICES OF BUSINESS.

Better buying, greater confidence, no
abolement OF conservatism marked
the business field. Nothing better gives
d birds eye view of condition in the
middle west than the reports direct to
Duns from leading midwestern COM
mercial centers.
Chicago.-While no important de-
velOpments appear in new demands
upon the leading Industries, aside from
those closed for urgent governmental
needs, there is distinct advance in the
absorption Of necessities and in both
wholesale and retail staples the aggre-
gate sales afford favorable comparison
with this period in best previous years.
A high volume Of general business is
indicated by current payments thru the
banks, the daily average being wei!
above that at this time in 1915, when
new record level was reached, and
this favorable condition Is uIaue> mon
impressive by the fact that speculative
operations in the securities and grain
markets now are negligible as COM
pared with a year ago. Despite the
commercial expansion and the recent
percentage of failures and defauIted
liabilities is seen to be under the nor
NAL, and the soundness OF the situation
Is reflected by continued ease in credits
and rising loans at the banks. Discount
rates remain steady at the late slight
advance and no change in this respect
Is likely until deposits swell with the
conversion Of the crops into cash. the
outgo of currency to the interior Is
smaller than month age, an indica-
ton that the agricultural needs to for
ward marketings are largely provided
for. Flotation of the second Liberty
Loan now exhibits gratifying Roadway
and it is unlikely that it will cause I'M
due shifting Of funds here and in the
west. The investment markets run
along the line of expectations, buying
being meager of ordinary bond Issues
and secondary to the interest in the
government notes and war loan.
Minneapolis.-The general condition
OF local trade Is satisfactory and there
Is a heavy volume of seasonable mer-
chandise moving, both in wholesale
and retail lines. Shipments of dry
goods, hardware, groceries and general
mSTcIldHutSe are large, anu JODDeTS III
nearly all lines note sales we'll ahead
OF those of the corresponding period
last year. Retailers report a healthy
increase and encouraging prospects
for fall and winter trade. Collections
are good.
Detroit.-The business situation
! lorallv is satisfactory, except in so far
as it may be affected by the fuel
shortage, both for factory and home
consumption. Manufacturing plants
are busy and labor is we'll employed.
Retail stores report good volume OF
sales. New enterprises are being
formed and plants constructed
Omaha.--Continued pleasant weather
has been most favorable for corn abr
vesting and winter wheat seeding has
prevailed for several days. and a
much larger acreage than In 1915 is be-
| ing planted. Merchandise conditions
| thruout this general section continue
satisfactory, and all indications point
toward volume OF trade at least equal
| to that Of last year. Collections are
| good.
