John Clendenon is a good Co
Hawk. John is laboring man now
and draws wages at the end of each
week. He knows all about the war
orphans in the foreign countries and,
O! how sorry he feels for them; for
he has place to sleep every night,
and father, and mother, and lots
to eat and the war babies do not
have any of these things.
So John is setting aside a certain
per cent of each weeks wages for
these babies and he is putting it in
the Penny Fund bank at Green &
Bcntley's. Isn't that fine thing,
boys and girls?
Each of you can do just what John
is doing for am sure if you try
real hard you can earn some pennies
every week
You do not have to be Go-Hawk
to help with this fund Every one,
big. and little, can have a part in
helping to save these babies.

MYERS.-Thomas H. Myers was
1874, and departed this life, Wednes-
day, July IL, 1917. after an extended
illness, aged rs years, ! month and
S days He was an only son and
both parents passing away when he
was a lad of tender years, he was TAX
en- into the family of Ira Cavett, a
well-to-do farmer of the Van Vert To-
cality, and was reared and educated,
as would have been an own son of
these worthy people. In the stir
ring times of the Civil war Thomas
Myers enlisted and served through
the conflict as a member of the 88th
Ohio Volunteer Infantry. Following
the close of the war he returned to
the old home locality in Ohio, but he
was anxious to enten the greater ac-
tivity of life for himself. John
Clayworth, neighbor who had emil
grated to Iowa some years before,
gave such glowing accounts of the
state that young Myers was moved
to take up residence in the west. He
came to Mahaska county along in the
sixties and purchased farm in
Spring Greek township east of Oska-
loosa and here he lived and prosper
ed until along in the nineties when
he disposed of his properties here,
the farm no being known as the Louis
M. Towns, place, returned to Ohio
and purchased the Ira Cayet6 farm
upon which he had spent his boyhood
days and where he died. Mr.. My
ers was twice married, the first wife
being Miss Martha Mcdonald. Two
sons came to this union, Ray Myers,
now deputy chief of police of 0ska-
loosa, and Mark Myers of Grinnell
The second marriage was with Luz
visa Stump, to whom three sons were
born, Ross, Lee and Guy, all of whom
are living and of the Van Vert neigh
b0rhood in Ohio.
Beside the members Of his imme,
date family deceased leaves a host
of friends and personal acquaintance
who feel personal loss in his death
and passing. Mr.. Myers was kind
ly man, respected and beloved by all
who knew him or who came in con-
tact with his character in the ave-
nues of daily life. Neighbors and
associates acknowledge the influence
of his example and the memory of his
life viii long endure in the locality
in which he lived and moved No
deed of evil came from his hand, nor
harsh or unkind word passed his
lips. His was a helpful life and his
place in the community must remain
untitled.

Consideration of the many claims
and affidavits claiming right to ex-

pleted by the local board of exemp-

The number Of exemptions is not
great, in ratio to the number of

of the individual, but for the convent

ment." All effort was extended to
make the selective draft uniform in
application and operation.
Marriage alone was not considered
a ground for exemption. Actual
showing Of dependents had to be
| clearly and definitely set forth and
proved and to the extent that said
/ dependent would be left without sup.
port and charge upon state or com.
munity, or in other words, if the de-
pendents apparently can support
themselves or have relatives who are
able to support them, the case was
solved in favor of the government
Claim for discharge because of en-.

dence was furnished showing that il
the conscripted one were not dis
charged, it would result in the dis
continuance of or serious interruption
of the enterprise.
Exemptions have been granted on

tion thereof have shown that it will
