shampoos contain too much alkali,

Fort Madison, June 20.-A strange
case, wherein local man went insane,

local boarding house, was brought to
the attention Of the local police by
Mrs. Mccartney, who owns the board
ing house wherein Mr.. Thompson, an
employee Of the Sinclair Oil Company,
resided.
The insane man left some time ago
for Galesburg and Chicago at that
time apparently in his right mind. He
suddenly became insane while on the
road and was taken from the train into
. hospital, where he is now being
treated.
Mrs. Mccartney, alarmed at the con-
tinued absence of the man, called in
Officer Cornell. who with Mr.. Newton,
er.+-ra Tho room OF Mr.. Thompson.
They were surprised to find in the
d. I'M b. !. ne dresser much currency,
5sse.eral checks. drafts, ETC., which rep
resented an aggregate value OF well
over $4,000. Besides, bank book
found In the room showed a balance OF
well over $500 in the name Of M.
Thompson.
The money was taken to police head y
quarters, where the chief Of police will
hold 1t until some way Is found to re-

the housekeeper who has to contend

Uncle Sam buys his supplies In ton

In garrison or permanent camp, a
soldiers allowance of food consists OF
the following components and quanti-

practically everyone whose income ex-
ceeds IS per day should give some
thing.
There are only 5000 names to be
solicited. It would require IS from
every one Of them to raise $4,000.
Fully half of them either can't or won't
contribute to anything except taxes
which the government can collect by
force, so $40 should be minimum con-
tribution from those who can AFFORD to
give. There will be many smaller
amounts but they will come from those
whose hearts are stronger than their
purse. Capitalists, men who live upon
their investments, men who enjoy
profitable business or good professional
income, should give above the 800
mark. This is war which we face.
Thousands are going to be killed or
wounded. The wounded must be cared
for. 1t matters little whether any man
makes more than a living while his
country is at war. Every man should
either give or fight. He Is lucky who
can give and avoid the fight

Don't Start Too Low.

The great danger is In starting the
canvass at figures too low to yield the
total allotment. Word comes that some
of the outside precincts are taking So
and $40 subscriptions from men who
own $4,000 worth of valuable land and
live stock, whereas out in southwestern
Iowa a rural township with only one
village of 500 inhabitants reports
twenty-fiv subscriptions at 500 each,
eighteen at $50 each and thirty eight
at $25 each.
Here in Marshalltown two $500 SUBJ
scriptions have been. offered contingent
upon getting eight more, but already
one highly prosperous man whose in
come is known to be $4,000 per an
mum or more has volunteered $50 and
another offered SO whose income is
$4,000 or better. These men will both
give more when they realize the size
of the burden. Marshalltown, on the
per capita allotment, must raise nearly
half the total amount while thousands
of her citizens are of the wage working
classes on paving work, railroad Sec
ton work and in factories where the
wage scale provides nothing above 2
living for their families Other men
must pay for these. Many. a great
many. must contribute 800, apiece if
the total amount is ever raised within
the city. More must give $50 and

LIBRARY NOTES

to arouse the loyalty OF Americans.
Truly, no man can feel any pride in
the Germany pictured in The Unpop-
ular Review.
A closer cooperation between the
library and the schools is contemplat-
ed. and in the course Of time it is
planned to make the cooperation very
close indeed. The hope of making
readers of books rests almost entirely
with the children. and the most eff
fective approach TO the child is through
the teacher. She has the opportunity
and means of interesting him in the
finest literature of all times. Libraries
cannot undertake. education: the city
has already supplied itself with a very
powerful instrument for that, /. e., the
public schools. But the library can
and does supplement the work of the
schools and carries it on long after
the schools are through. We see the
friendly hand Of the school admin
stration in the increased use Of the
library this year.
The library will be closed during the
parade and speeches next Thursday,
Loyalty Day.

been customary to open the library at

, and pontooras drifted away, but foot
| ing had been secured. The crew OF
one pontoon which lost its way In the
dust cloud, failed TO make the bank in
time. Directly the air cleared, q ma
chine gun was opened on them, and
the rowers We're shot down and the
pontoon drifted back to the shore. A
sergeant called for volunteers to get
the wounded out Of the boat, and a
party OF twelve men went over the
river bank. Every man OF them. as
well as the crew Of the boat, was
killed.
Sixty men had gained a foothold on
the other bank Of the Diala. They
got together and started bombing
heavily pressed by the Turks on both
TANKS, and found themselves between
two clumps Of woods. Here they dis
covered providential natural position.
A break in the river levee had been
repaired by a new levee built In a
half moon on the landward side. This
formed a perfect lunette. The sixty
soldiers, surrounded on all sides but
the water, held 1t through the night,
i all the next day, and the next night
against repeated and determined at
tacks.
The attacks were delivered in the
dark and at dawn. The Turks only
attacked once in the daylight, as the
British machine guns on the other
bank swept the ground in front Of
the position. Twenty yards west of
the lunette there was a thin grove Of
mulberries and palms. The pontoon
position was most vulnerable on this
side and 1t was here that the Turkish
attacks were most frequent. British
artillery fire, intermittent day and
night, on the wood afforded some pro-
lection. The whole affair was visible
to the British troops on the south
side, who encouraged their comrades
by shouting. Attempts were made to
get a cable across by means OF a
racket in order to pass the little band
of sixty more ammunition, but the at
tempts were unsuccessful -
Twice during the nights of March
8 and 10 the Turks were on top Of the
parapet, but were driven back. One
more determined rush would have car
ried the lunette, but the little garrison,
now reduced to forty, kept their heads
and maintained cool control Of their
fire. A corporal was seen searching
for loose rounds and emptying the
bandoliers OF the dead. In the end
they were reduced almost to their last
clip Of cartridges, and they had only
one bomb left, but there were more
than hundred Turkish dead outside
the redoubt
On the morning Of the 10th, British
troops upstream had begun to turn
the Turkish flank, and q general re-
tirement began. BY $3.50 o'clock in the
morning the whole bridage had cross
ed and the fate of Bagdad was sealed.
