Car Continues
Identically The Same

There will be no change of any nature
in the Chandler at the new price. The
present series, greatest in Chandler his
tory, will be continued without alteration.
The Chandler Company has striven to
avoid this advance in price. But the
advance is unavoidable. 1t would have
been justified months ago. Almost every
item in cost of production has advanced
materially.
The $1395 price could have been con-
tinued only by cheapenin9 the car. And
the Chandler car has never been Cheapened.

THE FIRST HERO.

One of the first soldiers of the
United States to fall in the war
with Germany was a 2O-year-old
Iowa boy. Missouri Valley has
fifteen of her own boys in France;
some OF them are thought to be
in the same regiment to which
this dead hero belongs. Doesn't
that bring the war home to YOU i?
We cannot seem to realize that
the United States is en- gagged in
mortal combat with the strongest
foe on earth. If your friend was
graphing with murderer. his
hands already rocking with the
blood of innocent women and chill
dren, and you could help him.
would you do it, or would you hold
back and trust that he would
make it all right? OF course you
wouldn't, and neither should YOU
hold back with your dollars when
it comes to the Liberty Loan, the
Red Cross or the Y. M. C. A. If
you know of anyone giving com
fort to The enemy by word or deed,
you are as guilty as he if you do
not report it. This is no time to
let business matters or friendship
stand i'm the way if you know or
suspect an enemy to the country.
Get busy You can do as much at
home as the soldiers at the front
but everyone must do that duty
without fear or favor.

LETTER FROM

Somewhere i'm France, Oct. AZ
Dear Mother and Father:
| am receiving your letters
about once week. Yesterday

found them like a wet dishrag.

Well, how's the war going over
there? suppose you wonder
how it is over here. Well, about
all can tell you is it's war, y
like the road-a long one without
an end. AS soon as The Amer
leans start the kaiser won't last
long. The best part of ii the
French know il. If you could see
the supplies it takes TO keep one
part of the front going you would
be puzzled how the war has lasted
this long. II takes just as much
TO keep Bills army. too. They

your time comes you have to go.

RoUsino =. n. 9. !. MEETING,

\ county Y. M. C. A. meeting
was held at the court house in
Logan last night and was attend
ed by about sixty business mon
of the county, in fact, all but two
townships were represented.
The meeting was called to or
der by C. w. Kellogg, chairman
of the Harrison county war Y. M.
G. A., who, in few brief words,
explained the object of the meet
ing, then introduced Hon. Charles
Saunders of Council Bluffs,
chairman OF the district. Mr..
Saunders is heart and soul i'm the
work and made his hearers feel
the necessity of action. He told
of the work being done i'm the
army camps in this country and
abroad, and showed how the life
OF soldier off duty is made
pleasant where the Y. M. C. A. is
at work and contrasted with it the
vices surrounding the young men
when they have no place to go.
To hear Mr.. Saunders, person
cannot help becoming enthused
over the work.
He was followed by Mr.. Wat
son. secretary of this district.
who explained the organization
necessary to carry on the work
He also got Harrison county or
eanized with a captain i'm each
township to whom all literature
will be mailed and who will be re-
sponsible for his township or ter
ritory.
l.. R. Pike was elected captain
for Missouri Valley and st. John
township and he has called a,
meeting for 1880 this evening to
complete the organization.
Harrison county has pledged
themselves TO raise at least $500
within two weeks as their share
of the s35, 100000 to be used to
run the Army y M. G.. A. until
June !, 1919.
Mr.. Saunders talk made such
an impression on the men present
that he has been secured to speak
i'm The Christian church next Sun
day evening. This meeting is TO
be held, not to raise funds, but as
an educational meeting to show
the people what the Army Y. M.
@. A. has been doing, and pro-
poses to do for the young Amer
lean soldiers. The meeting is for
men and women, as the subject of
war is to he handled without
gloves and some grewsome pic,
lures will be drawn of the con-
flict i'm which we are now en-
gagged.
The Y. M. G.. A. is not denom-
national in any respect-the Jew
and the gentle, the Catholic and
the non-Catholic are-treated all
the same. They are all American
boys, fighting for their country,
and they deserve the best the
country can give them.
Hear Mr.. Saunders next Sunday
night and you will have a differ
cnC idea of the Army Y. M. C. A..
