WRITES TO MOTHER

Mrs. VIM. Treadway last week
received a most interesting letter
from her son, David, who is locat-
ed at Fort Yellowstone, Wyo. Mr..
Treadway stated that there had
been a four foot snow at that
place and that the soldiers life was
very quiet during the bad weather.
He was highly complimentary to
his officers. We regret that lack

ATTENTION, DRAFTED MEN

4 LlStS Oh questions Suumitteu u
all those subject to the war draft
will be sent out by the local draft
board beginning on Saturday Of
this week. Under the boards or
ders it sends out five per cent. each
day for twenty days; and since
there are, about mne hundred to be
mailed in this county, there will be
mailed about forty-five each day.
Because of the complicated ques-
tons asked the Government has
called upon the lawyers throughout
the Union to aid the prospective
soldiers in answering their ques-
tionnaires. All the lawyers of Mt.
Sterling have met and made plan
whereby they meet the Government 5
wishes, and hope TO be of as much
aid as possible to the men subject
to the draft. This plan is:
The County Court room in the
Court House throughout the time of
answering of these questions is
made headquarters for this work.
There will be present in this room
at all times a representative of
the lawyers to direct the work. As
each man comes there with his
questions he will be referred to one
or another of the lawyers who will,
without cost to the soldier, give
him the necessary legal aid in fill
ing out and executing his answers.
But the men who want this aid
must understand one condition
that the lawyers are compelled to
make. This condition is that every
man must come to the County Court
room on that day stated in the col
ored card which accompanies his
questionable. The lawyers have
set themselves to attend to, and
find it possible to attend to, only a
fixed number each day; and since
the Government requires these ques-
all to be returned
promptly, any one who fails to OBJ
tain his aid upon the day named in
his card will have to find the aid
himself and pay for it himself.
The men also should come early in
the morning and take their turn in
waiting; because, if forty five |
should be directed to come upon q
certain day and all should come in
the afternoon, it would be impos-
sible to give them attention.
This notice is inserted at the re-
quest of the lawyers. They are will
ing to give their time and effort to |
help, but on account of the limited |
time they have to make the condi-
ton named.
Just bear in mind, therefore, that
unless you come in the morning OF |
that day, you will have to do with
out this aid.
If you want to claim exemption
because of dependents on you,
bring with you those dependent on
you who are over sixteen years of |
age. Do not bring those under
sixteen.
If you want to claim exemption
because of your occupation, bring
with you the necessary two wit
nesses to prove your occupational
right of exemption.
Study these details, talk over
these details with others you know
to be subject to the draft. You can
do a great service by having this
understood, not only

NAUvoo, ILL.,, APRIL 20.

Mrs. Ed. Koechli Of Davenport.
Iowa, is visiting her sister, brothers
and parents in Nauvoo.
The Nauvoo young men have
adopted new fashion. One of our
novelty shops lately received pack
ages of small flags of the sticker
variety which the boys stick to their
collars on each side opposite their
ties, just like you would place post
age stamps on an envelope. They
look quite chic and patriotic.
Geo. Hudson, formerly of Nauvoo,
has left Odell, ILL.,, and is now sta
toned in Moberly, Mo, from where
he travels, selling goods for whole

Rev. Father Tholen of Nauvoo re-
Gently attended a meeting and ban
quet In Quincy and several inter
esting and splendid addresses were
made in the interest Of establishing
Catholic orphanage in some part
Of the state. Nauvoo's splendid and
beloved pastor was among those
who delivered short, interesting and
spirited addresses. He opened by
declaring that it was all right for the
speakers to sing the praises OF
quincy, DuL duuSO IhdL WHICH 'blSc
one has seen Nauvoo, even Quincy
ceases to be the fairest spot on
earth. He briefly outlined history
of the work which has been done for
the orphans since the beginning of
the world and showed how the early
church took over the functions of
caring for the poor children. He
said in closing that the campaign is
noble one. l am glad that the
knights of Columbus are working
for it. I know what the knights can
do when they start. Only last fall
party of them came to Nauvoo
from Quincy in a Hupmobile when
the mud was three feet thick. Father
Tholen is surely Nauvoo booster.

RECRUITING is
SATISFACTORY
This is Report From Adjutant Gen.
eral Loqan-Private Plant
Guards Paid by tho
Employers.

Recruiting in the Iowa national
guard is progressing encouragingly
over the state, according to the re
ports coming in to the state adJutan'
generals office. There is not little
disappointm ent over the small num-
Der Of recruits which are being Sc
cured from Des Moines, however.
The present national guard com
panies will soon be up to war strength
In response to an inquiry General Lo-
gan said today that there were not
many married men in the Iowa guard
SO that the order dropping out the
married men had not affected the
Iowa troops seriously.
AS yet the First regiment has been
the only one called out. 1t is eX-
pected, however, that the other .regi-
ments will be ordered out soon and
that eventually there will be call
for troops which will necessitate re-
cruiting many more men.
Private concerns asking for troop
ers to guard their plants are being in
formed that there are certain num-
Der of men available for this work,
but that neither the state nor the gov
eminent pays them for this duty and
the owners of the plants must pay
them If they wish their property
guarded.
Many calls continue to come in
from factories, public corporation
plants, mill and elevator owners and
others. Not a few OF these plants are
employing guardsmen and paying
them.
The men guarding the public build.
ings and railroad bridges are in the
employ Of the government.

What to Do for Eczema

Greasy salves, and ointments should
not be applied if good clear skin is
wanted. From any druggist for Csc or
$l.00 for extra large size, get a bottle

effectively removes eczema, quickly
stops itching, and heals skin troubles,
also sores, burns, wounds and chatting.
1t penetrates, cleanses and soothes.
Zemo is a clean, dependable and mex

Try it, as we believe nothing you have
