From This Section.

~ attractive branch Of serv
ice. will do well to investi
gate the Iowa ammunition train under
| command of Col Fred Holsteen. Col
onel Holsteen is particularly anxious
| that a company be taken out OF Keo
kuk, and he is making q special ap
peal to Keokuk men to get into the
Organization. A company is compos
ed of fifty-five men and one officer.
The ammunition train offers very
attractive features to young men, and
especially to those who understand
the operation of automobiles. The
train is supply train for the
done at night. So the man who is
lacking if he enlists in the company.
Incidentally enlistment In the sup
ply train means freedom from the
irksomeness Of trench digging and
other unpleasant features of infantry
life.
Auto drivers in the train are given
the rank of sergeants. There are a
number Of first class privates, also
used in the ammunition train. The
total personnel Is 684 men and six
teen officers.
The proper blanks for enlistment
in the company will be found with
John r. Irwin at win-Phillips COM
pany. Mr.. Irwin can also answer
any questions regarding the company.
Two More Men Enlist.
Two additional recruits to the Iowa
ammunition train were, received yes
terday by John r. Irwin in the persons
of Louis j. Corbeille of Montrose and
Thomas S. Keith, also OF Montrose.
Both men came down yesterday after
noon and left their applications with
Mr.. Irwin,
This morning he had inquiries from
several more men asking about the re-
quirements and the service. Any adj
ditional applications may still be re-
ceived here, until orders to discon-
tinue these have been received.
That more than one company will
come out OF the southeastern section
of the state. is the prediction of the
Aawy-Eye, which says:
Two or three companies of the Thir-
feenth division ammunition train COM
rany being formed in Iowa may be or
sanized right in the southeastern part
of Iowa If enlistment continues as
"apid as has been the case. Nearly
ne hundred have signed up in Bur
! nston for this service, the command
- which Is in the hands of Lieutenant
colonel Fred s. Holsteen. Twenty
two had signed up in Mt. Pleasant
carly yesterday afternoon and num-
Der also in Keokuk and Fort Madison.
Colonel Holsteen yesterday received
a telephone call from Adjutant Gen
eral Guy e. Logan, at Des Moines.
That official said that he was SO busy
now in attending to the mastering in
of the national guard that it was prob
able the enlistment and examining
blanks might not be here for several
days. Colonel Holsteen was told to
continue enlistment until further word
at any rate, although the number
wanted has practically been reached.

One who recently visited a canning
factory saw some of the hunger and
misery which is rapidly spreading
since the price of fOodstuffs have soar
ed beyond the reach of many. Some
children with ragged clothes and hun
cry looks trying to satisfy their hun
ger by eating the stray grains from
the ears of corn that were missed by
the machine. 1t reminds us of the
PrOdigal Son, and recalls to mind the
fact that the earth is the Lords and
the fullness thereof" There is plenty
to eat in this richly blessed country
but some of the spectators, | fear
will be called to account for their
wrongs.
In the year 1883, nearly 400 years
age, Mother Shipton a great Pro-
phetess, wrote the following rhyme:
Carriages without horses shall 50,
And accidents fill the world with
woe,
In the twinkling of an eye.
Through the hills men shall ride,
And neither horse nor mule by his
side,
In the air men shall be seen,
In white, in black, in green,
Under water men shall walk,
Shall ride, shall sleep, shall talk,
Iron in the water shall float,
AS easy as a wooden boat
Fire and wafer shall wonders do.
And England shall admit a Jew,
Three times three shall lovely
France,
Be led to dance bloody dance,
And when the last great fight is
won,
England and France shall be as one.

Aside from artillery duels, which are

minor operations are taking place.
