GREEK ANXIOUS TO SERVE.
Drawn in Draft, But Exempt, He Ca
bles His Parents Near Athens.

The draft cost Vagenas Constan-
tine, soda dispenser at the Paradise
Candy Kitchen at Ames, $40 before
information was given out that Story
county men would be exempt from the
first great army.
Constantine's number, 2108, was
drawn we'll up in the list and it was
quite evident that he would be one
of Uncle Sans soldiers in the first
draft, had it not been for the record
already made by Story county. When
he learned his number, Constantine
a Greecian by birth, Immediately sent
a cablegram to his parents who reside
near Athens, that he had been drawn.
The message cost $40.
Constantine declares he was per-
fectly willing to be in the United
States army. IF l was in Greece,
surely would be drafted into that ar
my" he said.

Threats and ExtOrtiOn.

A stranger hired out to Henry
Jungling at Dumont, Tuesday eve
1ing, to work on the farm near Kes-
ley, and after getting the job asked
for money for his supper and want
ed the young farmer to get a half
pint of whisky which he did provide.
The men then went to the farmers
home for the night. Yesterday NOR
ming the hired man told the farmer
he was going to have him pulled for
bootlegging, but if he would give him
500 he would say nothing about it.
1t is said the farmer gave him $50 and
came to Allison and got the money,
then the stranger left for parts un-
known. Sheriff A. T. Martin got hold
of rumors of the deal and went look
ing for the fellow. The marshal here
was phoned to look for him and he
was found at the local Rock Island
depot and was taken in. The sheriff
was notified and came after the fell
low who now languishes in the coun-
ty jail.-Clarksville Star.

Man Burns to Death.

Burlington, Ia, July 30.-Power-
less to aid, a Mortified crowd saw
Harry Fleming, %, an employe of the
Sanitary Ice plant, burn to death be-
fore their eyes at an early hour to-
day. Fleming was warned of his dan
ger only after escape from the lower
floors had been cut off. He ran to the
cupola from which he made agonizing
appeals for help. Firemen could not
reach him. In few moments he was
seen to topple forward and disappear
in the smoke and flames. Later his
body was found horribly burned and
with the head crushed by an ammo
MIA pipe. Hands and legs were burned
from the body. Cause of the fire is
unknown. Property loss is estimated
at $4,000.

Catholics Do Their Bit.

Iowa City, July 30.-Judge Martin
j. Wade, one of the fathers of the
movement to secure a large donation
from Iowa City knights of Columbus
for the $1,OO0,OOO war camp fund for
the United States army, banqueted
the committee last night that are to
campaign here. Judge Wade read a
letter from Secretary of War Baker,
who stated that SO per cent of the
Catholics in the United States had en-
listed in the army already and that
SO per cent Of the chaplains at army
camps are priests. Iowa City Knights
have contributed 500 ahead of the
canvass, and hope to see the total go
to several thousand.

SINGS GERMAN ANTHEM.
Wife of Ida Grove Merchant Wakes
Wrath of WOman's Society.

Ida Grove, July 30.-Members Of a
local ladies' secret organization have
been worked up for several days over
an incident that dampened the enthu-
siasm of patriotic meeting held at
the home of one of it's members one
day last week. At first it was thought
advisable to keep the incident a Sc
cret, but the patriotism of some of the
members caused the leak.
Toasts were being made to U1c.e
Sam, and his soldiers and sailors by
the members, when one of the men,
bers, wife of prominent business
man, rising to make her toast, sang
the national hymn of Germany
A chill came over the meeting AID
it was adjourned hastily before the
venom of patriotic bunch of mothers
could be sprung upon the lady who
had forgotten that the kaiser and his
country are enemies of this country.

PURPLE CROSS BODY.
Plans of Philadelphians Made Posi-
bic to Bring Back Bodies to this
Country for Burial.

Uniting efforts of two Philadelph-
ians have made it possible for the
bringing back to this country, for
burial, soldiers and marines who may
lose their lives while fighting in
France. Following the war, every
man who is killed abroad will be
sent to this country and placed at the
disposal of his relatives or friends for
| intermelt. Even should the conflict
continue for several years it will be
possible, at that time, under the pres
ent plan, to recognize the bodies of
| the dead heroes.
Accordingly, few weeks ago the
American Purple Cross Association
was formed and incorporated under
the laws of the District of Colum bia
DR.. Eckels was named director gener-
al; Major General j. Lewis Good,
treasurer, and Dr. Mowbray, field di-
rector. The associations active men,
bership is limited to those who have
made the care of bodies their life pro-
fession, and to those affiliated indus
tries" The trustees and other Off
GERS are prominent men Of the coun-
try, including Governors and mil
lionaire officials of huge manufactur-
ing plants.
Discovering that 40 modern system
had been devised by Government Of
ficials for taking care of the soldier
dead in France, officials of the Ameri-
can Purple Cross Association immedi-
ately held a conference with Secre-
tary of War Baker and presented a
plan that promises to revolutionize
and remove one of the most grewsome
features from modern warfare.
1t was first suggested that the
American Purple Cross Association
should bear the same relation to the
Quartermaster Generals Department
as the Red Cross does to the Medical
Department. Major General Henry G.
Sharp, Quartermaster General of the
United States Army, greeted the plan
with enthusiasm and a series of con-
ferences, covering the best part of a
week, were held il his Washington Of
fees.
A bill will be drawn up for the pre-
sentation to Congress for the accep-
lance of the American Purple Cross
Association as an auxiliary of the
Quartermaster Generals Department,
and to provide for the expense.
All those who are interested in this
should write to Congressman Haugen,
Senators Cummins and Kenyon and
request them to vote for the bill. The
request to be made is simply to ask
them to vote for the Purple Cross,
House Bill No. $40, and work for its
passage.

Sever Olson, blacksmith, Maple
Ave-, DEBORAH, says: Many years of
hard work as a blacksmith is what
weakened my kidneys and brought ON
attacks of backache. When l tried
to stoop to shoe a horse, sharp pains
often caught me in the small of my
back and almost doubled me up. /

were highly colored. l never let kid

MAKE LONG TOUR IN FORDS.
Fasteners Go West i'm Modern Prairie
Schooners.

Two Ford cars bearing a transcon-
tinental party bound from Matamor-
as, Pike county, Pa, to Yellowstone
National park passed through Des
Moines Saturday, says the Register.
One car carried Mr.. and Mrs. j. D.
Welliver, daughter Ethel, II years
old, and son Arden, II years DID, of
Matamoras. The other car carried j.
E. Harrington and wife and daugh-
ter Viola and two sons, Kenneth and
Lauren.
The two families started out from
Matamoras July and took the trail
to Niagara Falls. From Niagara they
went back to Buffalo, then took the
Lake Shore trail to Erie; leaving
Erie they travelled the Lincoln high
way to Sterling. The Great White
Way saw them to Davenport, where
they took up the River-to- River road
to Des Moines.
They will continue on to Pierre, S.
D., where they will be met by two
other cars, who left them at Geneva
Wis, to visit st. Paul. From Pierre
the party will visit the Black Hills
and fish for a few days.
After visiting Yellowstone park,
the men intend to locate on govern
ment ground. The Wellivers AID
Herringtons are travelling in true old
pioneer style, carrying their chattels
with them in the tonneau Of their
cars.
I'VE have not spent night under
a roof since we left Matamoras," Mrs
Welliver boosted, and none of the
party looked any the worse for the
1omadic experience. The only mishap
On the whole trip was the breaking of
an axle near Buffalo, and the trip
was delayed but thirty minutes.

Judge HObsOn Appoints Court
Reporter.

Judge A. n Hobson announces that
he has appointed w. X. Alkire, for
many years resident of Abel, Dali
las county, as court reporter for the
Thirteenth judicial district. Among
those strongly recommending Mr.. AL
kire was his townsma1, former Gov
ernor George w. Clarke, of Abel. Mr..
Alkire is a man of about thirty-five
years of age. He has a wife and
three children, whom he will bring to
West Union for permanent home as
soon as he can make arrangements to
do so, which however is not likely
to be till after he takes up his new
duties on Sept. l. West Union people
will welcome Mr.. Alkire and family,
and all having business in Judge
Hobson's court will wish the new
reporter we'll. The appointee sue
ceeds w. w. Comstock, now in the
practice of law in West Union after
twenty years service as reporter
