MOTHER OF THE ARMIES

The mothers of the armies,
In churchyard old they sleep,
No more to wake and worry,
No more to watch and weep;
For rust has spiked the cannon,
And choked the bugle's throat,
And hushed DER hill and valley
The drums defiant note.
They sent them forth to battle,
From many a cottage door,
The sons they loved and cherished
And feared to see no more;
They sat by lonely hearthstones,
And waited sick with dread,
To welcome back the crippled,
Or mourn the hero dead.
And when with fragrant blossoms
We deck the blue and gray,
Oh, twine dewy garland
Upon Memorial day
A tribute to the mothers
Who each with bleeding breast,
Gave freely to her country
Her dearest and her best.

MARIONVILLE COLLEGE
WILL NOT BE TRANS
FERRED TO CARTHAGE

! 1t was reported some time ago tina
in all probability Marionville Colleg'
would be transferred to Carthage bu
this is far from being true.
Wednesday and Thursday of this
week there was meeting of the
Board of Trustees in MarionvilIe anc
DR., w. D. Sidman, president presided
Bishop Quayle of st. Louis and ]. w
Hancher of Philadelphia, general Sec
retary of education, made the princf-
pal addresses.
| Two years ago there was debt of
$4,000 against the college. This year
this debt was decreased to $4,000
then at this meeting Mrs. Ellen Burge
of Springfield, decreased that amount,
so now the only debt against the
school is $500. The school being
now in good financial condition, it has
been decided to let it remain at it's
present location.
The school is in better condition
than it has ever been before, because
they have $4,000 worth of equipment
that has been transferred from Carl
ton College. This includes a library,
laboratory equipment and musical in
struments. The musical instruments
include four or five pianos and one of
them is Baby Grand.
A movement is on foot to include an
Department in the school
which will be known as Rural Econ
omics. This department will enable
students to work for their boardr ii
hey care to do so. 1t will include
Domestic Science for the girls ana
Manual Training for the boys.
Mr.. Hantcher said that the history
# the school was unusually good for
me of its class and that he expected
o see larger enrolment than ever
his fall term.

TWENTY-FIVE PERSONS
KILLED BY KANSAS TORNADO
Town of Andale is Mass of Wreckagc.
Occupants of Several Houses
Beaten to Death by Flying
Timbers.

Wichita, May 25.-Twenty-five per
Sons are known to have been killed
more than fifty have received injurie:
from which it is said several will die
and property worth thousands of dol
lars upon which no valuation has yet
been set was destroyed late today
when tornado swept up through
Sedgwick and Harvey counties in the
south central part of the state.
Andale, a village of less than three
hundred inhabitants, bore the brunt OF
the twister's rage, seventeen lives be-
ing the toll before the storm, which
was accompanied by binding rain,
bore on to the northwest.
The country southeast of Newton
furnished the remaining fatalities,
three lives being lost five miles from
that city.
The county between Andale and
Newton was pierced by a path from a
quarter to half mile wide where the
twister ground everything in its path
either to death or to inanimate de-
struction. Sedgwick, the largest town.
between Andale and Newton, barely
escaped from the storms fury, few
houses in one corner of the city limits
being the only loss.
So suddenly did the tornado arise
and so well did it do its work that
telephone and telegraph lines were
broken before word could be sent
ahead of the impending danger.
The sun had been shining but few
minutes before in Andale when sud-
denly the throaty roar which Kansans
have come to know means death and
destruction was heard coming from
the southwest. Before word could be
passed around the little village and
even before some of those hearing it
could escape to storm cellars and base
ments the storm burst with all its rage
1t went as quickly as it came, leav-
ing behind wreck of what a moment
before was sleeping village.
Information of the catastrophe
reached here when a young farmer
rode to nearby town and informed
The railroad authorities.
A special train was hastily gathet-
ed and with doctors and nurses was on
The scene within an hour. First aid
vas given to the injured and the most
severely hurt, with the bodies of the
victims were brought here.
Telegraph and telephone companies
nave reported storm condition per-
,ading all of southern Kansas.

THE METHOD OF REGISTRATION
FOR ABSENTEES EXPLAINED

Washington, May %. (Official Bull
letin. 1.-The Provost Marshal Gener-
ais office, in charge of the registration
for the selected army, finds that the
greatest amount of misunderstanding
has arisen in connection with the
method of registration by absentees.
1t is not sufficient for the absentee to
obtain a registration card and fill in
the answers, for he must file his card
with the county clerk where he hap
pens to be, or, if he is in a city of more
than 10000 inhabitants, with the city
clerk. The clerk is required to fill in
certain information on the back of
the card regarding the height, build,
color of eyes and hair, whether or not
the person registering is bald, and
whether he has lost an arm, hand, foot,
or both eyes, or is otherwise disabled.
Must Send Cards Home.
After this information has been sup
piled and the clerk has certified the
card, it will be returned to the alb
sentee, who must mail it to the regis
trar of his home voting precinct so
that it will reach that official not later
than registration day. A self-ad-
dressed stamped envelope should be
with the card, SO that reg
stration certificate may be returned
% the absentee.
The officials in charge of the regis
ration also desire to point out that
question 8, which asks whether the ap-
'licant has a dependent child, brother,
II sister under IL, does not intend to |
tx that age as the maximum for
which exemption may be claimed on
ccount of dependent minor relatives.
Only for Census Purposes.
The question is intended only for
of census. Twelve was the
gure fixed in the Civil War draft.
Question 10, in which the person
egistering is asked whether he is
larried Or single, requires an answer
s to the present status of the appli-
ant. If his wife is dead or he is di-
orced, he should register as single.
! divorced wife, even though draw
lg alimony, will not be considered as
dependent relative.

SOUR STOMACH

This is a mild form of indigestion.
1t is usually brought on by eating too
rapidly or too much, or of food not
suitable to your digestive organs. If
you will eat slowly, masticate your
food thoroughly, eat but little meat
and none at all for supper, you will
more than likely avoid the sour stom-
