AUDITOR. WILL HELP
ROY ROWLAND TO BE ASSISTANT
OF HENLEY ON REGISTRATION

Speculation among the county off,
GERS as to who would assist the sher-
if in conducting the registration for
selective CONSUMPTION was set at rest
when County Auditor Roy Rowland
received a communication from Gov
crnor Harding that he is the one who
is to aid Sheriff Henley.
These two, together with local
physician to be named by the COVER
nor, will constitute the registration
board The sheriff is the executive
officer OF the session and the auditor
the clerk.
County councils, to work in cooper
alton with the state council of de-
Tense, are being formed and their
personnel will be announced within
few days. The county officials will
look to this body for assistance in the
task of registering, every male citizen
between 81 and 80 years, inclusive.
The diversity of opinion as to who
would help the sheriff came through
the wording of the bill as passed by
congress. 1t placed the duty on "the
county CLERK In many states the
auditor is known as the clerk. In
Iowa the clerk Of the district court is
often called the county clerk. This
led to the dispute.

at the front of his home when heavy
porch box weighing several hundred
pounds fell upon him from a distance
OF several feet and crushed out the
little life almost instantly. Mrs. c. C.
McDonough, grandmother of the baby
was in the house having Just returned
from shopping trip with the boy and
lis sister, Bernice, a child of seven.
The little girl was on the porch at the
time Of the accident and was wit
mess to the distressing affair. The
grandmother heard the cries of the
child and rushed to his assistance to
| find the little body crushed under the
weight of the box. With super-human
effort, she lifted the big box, eight
feet long by ten inches deep and wide,
filed with heavy damp soil, from the
unconscious child and carried him in
to the house doing everything possible
to revive him. The little eyes fluttered
open a time or two and then closed in
death while the little body lay in the
lgrandmother's arms. Doctors Jerrel
/ ard Clark both responded to the call
for assistance but the child was be-
yopd human help before they arrived.
Little Billy was favorite with all,
! bright and attractive, friend with
everyone and his untimely taking off
is a shock to everyone who knew him.
About three weeks ago Mr.. Melon
ough, the father, went to Morrill,, Ne
! braska, the former home, on a bust
ness trip, being there at the time of
the accident. He did not receive the
telegram until Sunday. He was met at
Abba and brought home by auto. He
Is heart broken over the loss of his
little boy. The bereaved family has the

the Kindly feeling and the sympathy
of neighbors and an evidence of public
interest. One of the prominent floral
offerings was from the hand of Mr..
GreVe with whom the little fellow
was on particularly friendly terms.

Only four 'tramps" applied at the
office for assistance in the way OF
clothing during the month OF April.
One was apparently i'll, another was
crippled and both these were supplied
without work. Another refused work
and to the fourth none was offered as
his request was so small.
Two suits of clothing, new, were
bought for two little boys, each of
whom worked for the office. This ex-
pcnditurc was from the Horwitz fund.
Two dollars was spent for food for an
old woman who has no one to provide
for her. A loan of fifteen dollars was
repaid with interest. This loan was
made about the first of the year and
for the purpose of enabling man to
buy tools in order that he might have
steady work this winter Used cloth
ing was distributed in several iastanc-
cS.
