DEATH OF CHARLES b. FELTON,

Mr.. and Mrs. ID. H. FELTON, received
message from Act. Adj. Gen. Harris,
last Friday, announcing the death OF
their son, Charles B. FELTON,, from
pneumonia, somewhere in France, on
October II.
Coming while the joy and noise OF
the peace celebration were still fresh
in their minds, their gladness and
hopes gave way to great s0rrow-a
sorrow in which the whole community
shares.
The deceased was born at Clarion,
Iowa, January 5, 1888, and came here
with his parents a number of years
ago. After leaving home, he spent sew
eral years at New Auburn. He enlisted
at Chippewa Falls, April 13, 1917, re-
manning there until sent to Camp
Douglas, where he became a member
of Co. A. 4th Wis. Infantry, National
Guard. He was honOrably discharged
from the National Guard by reason of
being drafted into federal service,
August S, 1917. In September 1917,
he was transferred to Camp McAr-
thur. Waco, Texas. In January 1918,
he left Camp Macarthur with supply
train bound for Camp Merritt, New
Jersey. He embarked for overseas
duty shortly afterward, taking pass
age on the Tuscania, which fell victim
to a U-Boat off the English coast. 1t

days later announcing that he was
among the survivors. Those on board
the ill-fated transport lost all their
eauipment and were detained in Eng
land several weeks awaiting the ar
rival of new supplies He arrived in
France early in March.
According to letters written from
there. he saw active service on every
battle front in Western Europe except
italy In his last letter written at
Rest Camp, he stated that they were
lust starting on their last drive against
the Huns
Last week, when the bells and
whistles were acclaiming the glad
tidings Of peace his parents and sis
tiers breathed sigh of relief They
hoped to have the four soldier boys
back at the old home again soon.
knowing of his experience with the
Tuscania and his valiant service in
! France the community joined in that
hope.
The message that laid such great
sorrow on the old home enlists keen
est sympathy. -Four sons, all they
had, were placed on the altar OF their
country-one was disabled by an acci-
dent at Waco, one wounded in action
| in France, and one has made the sur
preme sacrifice Glorious stars are
they, that adorn the FELTON, service

CLARK co. TAXES FOR
UNITED WAR WORK FUND

Clark county has a new way OF
raising its $4,000 assessment for the
United War Work fund. The County
Board there decided to raise the
amount by taxation instead OF sub
scriuiOn. In this way the allotment
is shared pro rata, according to the
assessment. We have not heard OF
any other county taking such step
in raising its allotment. The usual
custom of raising the. money by pop
ular subscription is employed, but in
Clark county everybody who pays
taxes will contribute his or her share
to the $4,000 budget for that county.

Japanese Uprisings Caused by High
Price of Rice Which Makes
Poor People
Hungry.

UNITED Press Leased Wire Serv1ce.1
NEW YORK, Aug. 21.-Three parts
hunger and one part politics, Is the
formula of the present rioting and
discomfort in Japan, according to M
Yokohama, manager of a string OF
hotels in Japan and Manchuria, and
director of the East Manchurian rail-
ways, who is today in New York.
only hunger could precipitate vio-
lent lawlessness in scale of the riots"
said Yokohama. Politicians who are
opposed to the government have been
trying to spread discomfort of course,
but their efforts never could have
turned such loyal people as the Japa-
nese into property destroyers. / know
that thousands Of the poor people
have been going without sufficient
food lately on account of the wealthy
rice hoarders and the spectators.
II can remember when rice sold
for ten cents a sho. That is about
two and half quarts. 1t has now
gone up to fifty cents per sho. Poor
people simply could not buy it.
1.-THE people were driven to acts OF
violence. That Is not surprising. But
that this should turn the destructive
ones against the property Of wealthy
people as a class Is something new
and unexpected in Japan"
Yokohama declares there is no dan
ger of revolution.
1.-The people are contented with the
government" he said. They may
riot and burn things until they are
fed, but they will not revolt
II am sure the government will
stop the rice profiteering and the
people will go back to their work
again"
Yokohama intends to make a tour of
the principal cities of the United
States to learn for himself and the
Japanese government the methods
and systems used in management of
American hotels
