LAWYERS MAKE
EXEMPTIONS
Some Attorneys Are Charging $500
to Handle Cases is Charge
Made by Appeal
Board,

That certain lawyers are charging
as much as $500 to handle cases for
men who would get released from
service in the national army has been
learned by the southern district ex-
emption board. These lawyers are
charging exhorbitant prices merely
for preparing affidavits of appeal to
the district board, it is reported. The
attention of the governor has been
called to these practices and prosecu.
lions may follow.
On the other hand there are hun
dreds of lawyers who are assisting
drafted men in preparing their appeal
papers and are not charging the
men a cent for their work, according
to N. D. Ely, chairman Of the south
ern district appeal board. The south
ern district board refuses to hear
any attorneys on draft exemptions.
All such matters have to be present.
ed in writing. 1t is. a comparatively
easy thing to fill out the affidavits
supporting claims for exemption, it
is pointed out, and with little study
the drafted men could do this them
selves, board members say.

COURT MARTIAL
MAY TRY THEM
Four Men From Des Moines County
Who Failed to Go TO Camp
Dodge, are In
Trouble.

It's serious business to disregard
Uncle Sans summons for training.
as the following from the Hawk-Eye
shows:
Four men of Des Moines county,
members OF the quota or a1ternates
which left yesterday morning for
Camp Dodge, failed to put IN an ap-
pearance when time for the train to
pull out of the station arrived and
have not been seen. Three OF the
men were Of the list of 1T and one
was an alternate. Their names are
given as follows: Don Crooks, Daniel
Rantz, William Perry, Ed. j. Jones.
Jones was one Of the alternates
and should have been on hand as
we'll as the other three.
County Auditor A. F. Felker stated
that it was not up to the officials OF
Des Moines county to locate the men
who failed to report. He said that
a report would be sent in to the adj
Sutant general at Des Moines and
then would be referred to the United
States secret service.
When the men are taken into Gus
tody they may be tried by court mar
tial as deserters and the govern
ment is not very lenient In such
cases, although the penalty varies.

Big Chicken Supper VIII be Given To-
morrow Night and Local Mer-
chants Are Urged to
Attend.
SEND IN NAMES BY 9 A. M.
1t Will be Absolutely Necessary to
Know How Many VIII 90 or
Somebody May Go
Hungry.

Members Of the Keokuk Retailers
league are reminded of the supper to
be given tomorrow night at Sandusky,
which tho retailers are expected to
attend. The event will be the annual
chicken fry supper and is given under
the auspices of the ladies Of the First
Christian church. The event was post
poned from last Thursday night at the
request of the Keokuk merchants, be-
cause Of the patriotic send-off here
for the selected men. The merchants
can show their appreciation, President
Justice said this morning, by attend
| ing the supper in large numbers tomor-
row night.
| All Of the retailers who are going
to the affair tomorrow, are asked TO
notify Secretary Fulton at the Indus
trial association by o'clock tomor-
row morning. Those of the members
who have cars are asked to bring
theirs and to notify the office the num-
Der Of people they can accommodate
Those who have no cars, but who are
planning to go will find room in the
cars Of the other members. 1t is alb
solutely necessary, however, that mott
fication be given of the number Of peo
pie who are going, and the local mer
chants are asked to cooperate this
much and to let the secretary know at
once.
This is not strictly membership at
fair, and those Of the league who want
to take their families or friends are
privileged to do so, just so that they
give the number of people in their
party.
The price Of the super will be &C
cents and includes fried chicken and
all of the delicacies Of the season.

HAVE DARK HAIR
AND LOOK YOUNG
NOBODY CAN TELL WHEN YOU
DARKEN GRAY, FADED HAIR
WITH SAGE TEA.

Grandmother kept her hair beautt
fully darkened, glossy and attractive
with a brew of Sage Tea and Sui
phur. Whenever her hair took on
that dull, faded or streaked appear
ance, this simple mixture was ap-
piled with wonderful effect. By ask
ing at any drug store for "Wyeth's
Sage and Sulphur Compound" you
will get large bottle Of this old
time recipe, improved by the add
ton of other ingredients, all ready to
use for about SO cents. This simple
mixture can be depended upon to re-
store natural color and beauty to the
hair.
A well known downtown druggist
saws everybody uses Wyeth's Sage
and Sulphur Compound now because
1t darkens so naturally and evenly
that nobody can tell it has been APP
plied-it's so easy to use, too. You
simply dampen a comb or soft brush
and draw it through your hair, taking
one strand at a time. BY morning
the gray hair disappears; after an
other application or two, it is restor-
ed to It's natural color and looks
glossy. soft and beautiful. This
preparation is delightful toilet re-
uuisite. 1t is not intended for the
cure, mitigation or prevention Of dis.
ease.

To Much Sugar Used.

limited Press Leased Wire Service
WASHINGTON, Sept. 24.-For the
sake of France, Herbert Hoover
asks every American household to
reduce by one-third its consumption
of sugar.
France needs 100000 tons of Amer
lean sugar during the next month
and probably more later. Frenchmen
consume onefourth as much sugar as
Americans today. This country must
make a sacrifice, Hoover says.

No Peace Value Whatever.

No Peace Value Whatever.
tBy ]. W. T. Mason, Written for The
United Press.1
NEW YORK, Sept. 24.-There Is nc
peace value to the kaiser's suggestion
to the pope that after this war ends,
the great powers should agree to a
reduction Of armament. The propos-
al is simply another attempt by the
kaiser's sinister diplomats to try to
foster a friendly feeling for Germany
at this critical period, among sympa-
thetic people abroad.
Reduction of armament would mean
lessening of trained and equipped
soldiers in all countries, but the pro-
portionate military strengths would
remain the same.
With the Hohenzo11erns still in con-
troll Of Gernany's destinies, reduction
Of armament would be no guarantee
that the kafser's war madness couldn't
break out again. The only difference
would be that the kaiser would have
a smaller initial striking force, the
next time while his opponents would
have proportionately smaller defen-
sive armies.
The kaiser's plea that moral right
should dominate the world, Is also
without any peace value.
There is overwhelming evidence
that the kaiser Is at the head of sys-
tenn which counts deception and false
hood as legitimate means Of at
tanning national ambitions. Nothing
the kaiser may say and no pledge he
can give, would have any binding
force upon the German government as
long as an irresponsible autocracy
dominates the government The pres
ent is the most critical time of the war
for the kaiser. He has suddenly begun
to realize the power which the United
states is preparing to WELD to safe
guard the future of democracy. If the
war continues, the kaiser knows that
America will be able to accomplish the
downfall of German mediavalism.
sHe is therefore desperately promis-
ing one thing after another, hoping
the allies will agree to peace before
America makes the Hohenzollerns
subservient to a democratized Ger
many. Until the promise Of German
democracy Is given and its workings
have begun, the kaiser's system that
caused the war will not have been de-
feated.

This is the proper move to

The high school manage.
ment is up against a very per
picking problem that must be
solved in some way before Sep

ly. The high school pupils of
the county cannot be accom- mo
dated in the present high school
building and any person who
knows anything about our high
school knows this, and some
thing must be done to relieve
the school from this trouble.
This is not the first time the
county high school manage

to bond the county to furnish a

forced to go into the court house
for one year and our present
building was paid for by keep
ing the tax levy up to the limit
Because this has been done
once is no rerson why such n
policy should be repeated.
Bonds should be issued to pro.
vide the necessary room for
the school. To force the whole
