Strict military regulations which have
isolated the camp for the past week
were abandoned during the day to give
relatives and friends a chance to see and

some never to return. Civilians GER

tunity. From early morning till late
afternoon they streamed in by every

About 4 o'clock a young man twirling

PROBLEM OF FOOD

Chicago. Jan. Ga discussion of the
food problem in the Berlin municipal
council is described in dispatch to
Reuters from Berlin by way Of Am.
sterdam At the end of the discussion
two resolutions were adopted. the first
introduced by the socialists demanding
uniform distribution of food in the
towns and in the country and the
adoption of steps to prevent produc,
ers from Withholding supplies in order
to increase their profits The second
resolution was offered bv the liberals
and condemned the existing restric
tons on the buying of supplies by
towns.
Herr Wuerm, a socialist, attacked
Adolph Won Batocki. president of the
food regulation board, whose latest
circular he described as complete
confession Of the impotence OF the
state before the farmer. He added
that even Field Marshal Won Hinden
burg's appeal to the producers had
been useless. Burgomaster Wermuth
spoke pessimisticallv of Berlin's sup.

THE TALE OF BROWNIE BEAVER.
Looking Pleasant

After Jasper Jay left Brownie Bea
yer. on that day when Jasper told
Brownie that the photographer had
made a flashlight picture of him
Brownie could hardly wait for 1t to
grow dark. He had made up his mind
that he would 60 back to that same
tree, which was still not quite gnawed
through; and he hoped that he would
succeed in having his picture taken
again. Like many other people
Brownie Beaver felt that he could not
have too much of good thing
There was another reason, too, for
his going back to the tree If the
light fared up again and the click
sounded in the bushes, Brownie in
tended to go right into the thicket
and get his picture before anybody
else could carry it away with him.

understood about taking photo.

Well, the dark found Brownie back
at the tree once more. And he began
once more to gnaw at it. He tried to
look pleasant, too, because he had
heard that that was the way one
should look when having his picture
taken.
He found it rather diff cult gnaw-
ing chips out Of the tree and smiling
at the same time But he was an
earnest youngster and he did the best
he could.
Brownie Beaver kept wishing the
fiasblight would go off, because--what

broke through the darkness.
1t was not long before Brownie had
gnawed away SO many chips that the
tree began to nod its head further and
further toward the ground. And
Brownie wished that the fash light

full when he was cutting down a tree.
He kept his eyes on the bushes all the
time, instead of on the tree-as he
should have done. And all the time
the tree leaned more and more.
At last there was a snap! Brownie
Beaver should have known what that
meant. But he was so eager to have
his picture taken that he mistook the
snap for the click that he had first
heard almost week before.
He thought it must be the click Of
camera hidden in the bushes. And
he stood very still and looked ex-
tremely pleasant
Now, Brownie Beaver should have
known better. But like most people.
for once he made mistake. What
he really heard was the tree snap
ping. And before he could jump out
of the way the tree came crashing
down upon him and pinned him fast
to the ground. He saw flash OF
light to be sure, and good many
stars. But all that only came from
the knock on his head which the tres
gave him.

DAVIS CONDUCT
Judge Wilc0ckson Appoints
Three to Prefer Charges
Against Local Lawyer

w. D. Davis, a local attorney. who
with four other Ottumwans is under
indictment in keokuk county on per
jury and. subornation of perjury
charges as an outgrowth of the Schafer
burglary case heard in Sigourney last
October faces more difficulty as re.
suit of court order issued in Keokuk
county court by Judge Wilcockson.
The following from the correspon-
dent OF The Courier at Sigourney tells
of Davis new tangle:
In the district court on Thursday
Judge Willcockson entered an order
appointing Attorneys D. w. Hamilton,
J. P. Talley and H. F. Wagner as a
committee to investigate the conduct
Of Attorney w. D. Davis from Ottumwa
in reference to conduct unbecoming
an attorney. The judges order reads
as follows:
Whereas there has been brought to
the attention Of the court that one w.
D. Davis, an attorney, has been guilty
of a willful violation of his duties as
an attorney and doing acts which are
punishable by law. it is therefore or
dered that D. w. Hamilton, J. P. Talley
bar make and prefer charges and in
vestigate the conduct and acts of the
said w. D. Davis"
The charges are the outgrowth of
the John Schafer, Jr., case who was
convicted in this court of burglary at
the October term and was in that case
defended by Attorney w. D. Davis. AT
the December session of the grand
jury Attorney Davis was indicted by
that body for subornation of perjury
and is now awaiting trial on that
charge. The indictment against Davis
was returned in connection with the
indictments against James Huffman,
Pearl and Earl Knapp and Joseph
Cohn. all of Ottumwa. The first three
were indicted on the charge Of perjury
and Cohn for subornation Of perjury
