Frank G. Heller Of Summitvllle Is
Served With Warrant by v. 8.
Officials and Appears
In Court.
USES THE FAMILY BIBLE
In Absence Of Government Witness
However, Case Is Postponed
Until Next Monday
Afternoon.

| Frank c. Heller, residing near sum
mitville, Iowa, was served with
warrant yesterday by Deputy U. >
Marshal Thomas P. Gray, on the
charge of failing to register June
Heller came to Keokuk to appear be-
fore y. s. Commissioner John o.
Craig this afternoon to answer to the
charge filed He claims to be over
the age required by registration, but
in the absence of the governments Of
ficials, Commissioner Craig continued
the case until next Monday afternoon.
Heller appeared in the commits
toners court this afternoon with his
father, and produced the family
Bible in which birth record was
kept. This showed that he was born
August rs. 1885 and in consequence
was past thirty-one years old at the
time of registration, June b.
According to the government, how
ever, the birth records of the county
do not show Heller to have been 81
years old, and it Is on this record
that the goyernm ent case Is based,
is is understood.
Marshal Gray was called to Bur
lington this afternoon and in order
to have the governments side Of the
hearing, the commissioner set the
date for next Monday.
This is the second case in which
proceedings have been started for
alleged failure to register. The first
case was that of a Keokulk man,
which was automatically disposed Of
when the defendant registered before
the local board. before his case came
to trial.

deed animated intervals on both buy
ing and selling sides. AS has been
the case recently, the railroads
started the list on the down grade.
The impulse to liquidation was i'm
parted by offerings of collateral be-
hind foreign loans. Whenever the
railroad department shows an incli-
nation to advance these offerings are
forthcoming. In the railroad situa-
ton itself there Is nothing in particu-
lar to give confidence that prices for
that class Of stocks will advance in
the near future. Accordingly, Offer
ings of foreign collateral forces other
liquidation. Sometim es the industrial
list withstands the pressure thus
communicated. 1t may even advance
in spite of 1t. But just now 1t Is con-
fronted with a more or less wide
spread idea Of many holders that the
thing to do is to sell stocks In order
to put the proceeds in the Liberty
loan.

The Great Divide

The woman in the prime Of life
need not dread to meet the loss of
her youth when growing elderly.
While some charms diminish, others
should replace them-charms of ex-
perience, cultivation. wisdom. The
great physical changes met between
the fort1eth and fiftfeth year are In
deed serious, and are not always well
borne. In the strain of modern life,
few women are in condition to meet
these changes without some appre-
hension Of deranged health But with
the excellent help Of Lydia e. Pink
hams Vegetable Compound, that old,
trustworthy woman's medicine, a
woman may confidently expect to
enter later life as well and robust
as ever.-Advertisem ent.

Since regimental and company Of
ficers have full responsibility for the
efficiency of their teams they are
given corresponding authority in
promoting men from the ranks to
positions as noncommissioned Of
ficers. For all practical purposes
their judgment as to the men under
them is regarded as final.
One point as to which you may feel
assured is the earnest desire of every
officer to give promotion to the men
who are best qualified-in other
words, to select the men who have
cultivated the soldierfy qualities and
in addition show capacity for further
development and for leadership. The
officers are fully as much interested
in promoting men on the basis of
merit as any of the men are inter-
ested in promotion. For the officers
own burdens are lightened and their
success is increased almost in direct
proportion to their ability to pro-
mote the right men.
Changes For Promotion
The first rank above private is
corporal. The corporal should be a
real leader. He is expected to be
more familiar with the various man
uals and regulations and with the
duties of the men in the squad than
are the men themselves. He is ex-
pected also to use his influence
strongly toward building up soldier
ly qualities among these men.
Among the qualifications which all
noncommissioned officers should pos
sess the following have been selected
by one military writer as being of
the first important;
/. Proficiency as guides in close
order drills, and particularly as
column leaders in route marching.
2. Aggressive leadership, especially
in drilling, marching and fighting.
3. Ability to act as instructors
4. Thorough knowledge of the ele-
ments of field service.
5. Thorough knowledge of interior
guard duty.
6. Skill in range finding and in
estimating distance so as to assist
men in firing accurately.
Z. Proficiency in leasing patrols.
8. Ability to prepare written mess
ages that are clear, complete and
concise.
8. Ability to sketch and read maps.

:. This list will suggest some of the
lines along which you should work,
whenever you have the chance. Many
OF the noncommissioned officers in
the national army will be chosen,
not only because of the knowledge
or skill they already possess, but al
SO because they show capacity for
further development and for leader

Developing Soldierly Qualities
This question OF winning promo
tion all comse back to the question
of making yourself thorough soldier

loyalty, disciplined obedience, ply
sical fitness, intelligence, cleanliness.
cheerfullness, spirit, tenacity, and
self-reliance-the nine qualities of a

the shortest possible time. To ac-
complish this result it must produce

in the first contingent or more

This need is your opportunity. 1t
Is an opportunity not merely for per-

Considerable Interest in
What Nash Model Is to Be

1t is now made known that the an
nouncement of the new Nash car, for
which dealers and the automobile
public have been waiting eXpectantly
for months, will come before the end
of next week.
c. w. Nash and his associates have
been laboring for months in the per-
lection of a motorcar embodying their
ideals and principles. 1t is now
known that the work of designing,
building and perfecting has been COM
pleted and the first cars are ready for
public exhibition.
In the announcement of no other
car probably. has interest been keen
er. Mr.. Nash, almost since the auto
mobile business started. has been one
of it's dominating figures. He has
produced cars of all prices.
When the Nash Motors Company
vas formed last August work was
started on the construction of new
car to bear the name of Nash and
speculation was rife as to what kind
of a car it would be.
The price and design OF the car has
been closely guarded. No hint has
come from the Nash plant as to what
Mr.. Nash and his associates consid-
cred the ideal m Jtor car. Automobile
people pointed out that the previous
experience of the executives of the
Nash Motors Company in building all
types and prices of cars made 1t dou-
bly, difficult to guess just what par
ticular type and size of car they
would build.
1t is now generally known that the
price of the Nash will be we'll under
$4,000, and will be built in the four
passenger roadster. the sedan as well
as the standard five-passenger tour
ing-car model.
1t is an advertised fact that the
e71 Jeffrey model, which has been
built and marketed since Mr.. Nash
took over the jeffrey plant, will be
continued as the seven-passenger car
of the Nash line and will bear the
new Nash nameplate. The manufac-
ture of trucks, including that of the
famous Quad, will also be continued,
of course.
Ninety-three per cent. of the new
Nash car will be actually constructed
in the plant at Kenosha. The plant
itself covers a 100-acre site. With
the exception of a few incidental fea-
lures the car will be Nash built
throughout and in no sense of the
word will it be ASSEMBLED.
