LOMBARD, ILL, ALL HET UP!
A bitter feeling against the U. S.
govt by the 1900 pro-German resi-
dents of Lombard, H., 20 miles west
of Chicago, was stirred up yesteF-
day by the false report of the arrest
of Rev. o. Massmann, white-haired
pastor of the German Lutheran
church in that village. It is said he
was arrested as a "disloyaI suspect. "
No one knows the source from which
the story emanated. A recruiting
poster was recently torn from a tele-
graph post. Only one American flag
flies in Lombard.

DISTINCTION
TOBE DRAFTED
Man Chosen to Defend His Country
Should Feel Proud.

Editor Washington Post: Service I'M
der the draft law recently enacted by
Congress will be a distinction rather
than stigma. Let no man think that
because he is drafted he is in any sense
a marked man." for such is not the
case. Many have registered, but only
a few will be chosen. The chosen man
will be one of distinction. This point
was distinctly and ably set forth by
Senator Fletcher on the floor of the
Senate while the draft bill was under
consideration, when the senator so ell
oquently said:
Il do not believe any odium could
attach to the drafted man under this
bill. 1t would be more nearly accur-
ate to call him the selected man. He
enters the service because he is the
chosen among thousands. Chosen be-
cause he comes up to the standard
fixed by the law. Selected because his
country needs him and finds him to be
III TO meet the supreme test OF the CT
tizen. He should feel honored by that
choice. He should take pride in the
fact that he was selected to defend his
country on the battlefield with his skill
his manhood, his life. What greater
privilege, what higher honor could
come to him than to be selected from
among all his countrymen to carry his
country's flag in the face of his coun-
try's enemy! The drafted man will be
the selected, the honored man under
this bill"
What Senator Fletcher has said here
should be printed upon the back of
every certificate given every man who
is selected.

DOCTOR IS
HEARD FROM

F. L Steib, the druggist, received
a letter Tuesday, from his friend DR..
F. X. Pomainville, in which he said
that he was one of twenty-five doctors
that were there awaiting orders from
their superiors. He said that when
he first arrived there it was the inten-
ton of making use of him and other
physicians on transports, but now they
expect that they will be sent to France
for help that is greatly needed there.
DR.. Pomainville wants to be kindly
remembered to all his patrons and
friends in Grand Rapids and that it
is hard for him to even make a guess
as to when he will get back home to
see his family and friends. During
his idle time he is visiting all the in
teresting places in New York city and
suburbs.

SOMEWHAT OF A PEDESTRIAN.
Mr., R. NJ. Hurt, Of Near this Place,
Makes the Journey to Cross
vile, Tenn, and Return,

Mr.. r. NJ. Hurt, a brother Of Judge
Rollin Hurt, of the Court Of Appeals,
has been in very poor health for sew
eral months, and about six weeks ago
he conceived the idea that the noun
ta1nS of Tennessee would be beneficial
to him, and as a matter of choice, he
decided to make the trip afoot, be-
lieving that walking would do him
good. Accordingly, he shipped his
trunk to CrossVille, Tennessee, and
left on his journey, carrying with him
a change of raiment. The distance
from here to his destination is one
hundred and ten miles, and he aYerag-
ed about eighteen miles per day. In
seven days he reached CrOSSville,
stopping over nights with farmers
along the route. He had no trouble
in securing lodging, and he landed at
his destination in fairly good shape,
little tired, but able to move about.
He remained at CroSsVille, which is
located on the Dixie Highway and
Tennessee Central R. R., four weeks,
securing board at one dollar per day.
He wanted the people there to under
stand that he was neither tramp nor
loafer and, therefore, he accepted
and did some light work while there,
in order to keep his circulation nor
NAL.
At the end of four weeks ne started
home, afoot, and walked all the dis
lance, landing here few days before
the election. He says his stay in the
mountains of Tennessee was beneficial
to him, and the walking, he thinks,
did him much good. He evidently
looks much better than he did before
making the journey.
Mr.. Hurt is well-known to nearly
all the people in Adair county, and
many of them will be surprised to
learn that he made the long trip to
and from CroSSville afoot.
