Boy Scouts on War Duty.

Naval dispatches in Britain are very
largely carried by Boy Scouts. Speak
ing at a recent review Lieut. Gen.
Sir Robert Baden-Powell paid very
high praise to the work done by these
lads, who, without any officers watch
ing them. but working simply under
their own boy leaders, were doing their
patriotic duty to their country. ''Ev-
cry night without fail" he continued,
these boys have carried dispatches
along that wild coast down to the ad-
miral at the base, and they do about
six miles every night. l saw the one
hundred and nineteenth message go
down. 1t is wonderful how those boys
face difficulty and danger simply be-
cause they are expected to and from
a sense of duty and Of playing the
game And that is true Of boys
throughout the country"

descended from a long line of patriot
ic ancestors, his grandfather, father
and three uncles having served their
country in the Civil war, and Floyd
upheld that proud record with an hon
or that but added glory to the name
of his patriot forbears. He as truly
laid down his life for his country as
he who falls on the field of battle mid
the din and stress of war. He was a
good, honest, upright, Industrious
young man. He is survived by his
mother, Mrs. Emma /. Putnam, two
brothers, Ray L. and Lloyd F., twin
brother, and two sisters, Bertha M.
and Mrs. Hattie Dresser.
A pathetic incident in connection
herewith is the fact that the message
to Floyd's brother from the canton
ment stated he was critically i'll from
pneumonia, but when the body arrived
the casket was enclosed in sealed
metallic case and the cause of death
given as meningitis, which being a
communicable disease denied the fam
lily the right to parting look at the
face of their loved one, or even view
of the casket that contained his earth
ly remains. Hence, while the services
were being held at the opera house
the body was conveyed to the cemetery
and deposited in the grave.

SEvEN-NAMEDHERO
Lafayette Only Nineteen When
He Came to America.
Congress Commissioned Him Major
General and Washington Invited
Him Into His Military Family.

Marie Jean Paul Roche wet Gilbert
Motier was born September 6, 1857.
You know this seven-named hero bet
ter by his title than by any of his sep
tet names; he was the Marquis de La
fayette.
While the birthday Of Lafayette has
not been generally celebrated in the
United States, no 9th of September has
been permitted TO pass without some
recognition of Lafayette's services.
At the age of thirteen he inherited
an immense fortune, and he was only
sixteen when he married the grand
daughter of the Duke de Noailles. De-
spite his aristocratic education and en-
vironment, he was from childhood an
ardent lover of liberty.
Republican anecdotes always de-
lighted me-" he wrote in his memoirs,
land when my new connections wished
TO obtain for me a place at court / did
not hesitate displeasing them to pre-
serve my independence"
When he first heard of the Revolu-
ton in America he "espoused warmly
the Cdust VI iiDeils anu oilSicu MS
services to Silas Deane, the American
revolutionary agent in France.
"When / presented to Mr. Deane my
boyish face. for 1 was scarcely nine
teen years of age, l spoke more of my
ardor in the cause than of my expert
ence," wrote Lafayette, "but l dwelt
upon the effect my departure would
cause in France"
The credit of the Continental con-
gress was so low that Deane could not
procure a vessel, so Lafayette bought
and secretly freighted the ship Victory
to carry himself and a dozen or so
other officers across the Atlantic.
Among Lafayette's companions was
Baron Johann de Kalb, a native of Ba-
varia, who had long been in the serv-
ice of France. Against the wishes Of
his relatives and the orders of the
French king Lafayette sailed for Amer
lea. From the Victory he sent mes
sage to his girl-wife:
"From love to me become a good
American; the welfare of America is
closely bound up with the welfare Of
mankind"
Lafayette and his party landed near
Georgetown, S. c., in April, 1777, and
then travelled by land to Philadelphia,
where the congress commissioned the
nineteen-year-ol boy a major general,
and Washington invited him TO become
member of his military family.
The boy general Joined the CONT
mental army in August. 1777, and in the
following month he fought at Brandy
wine, where the Stars and Stripes were
first carried into battle. Lafayette
fought as volunteer, and was badly
wounded. After several brilliant ex-
ploits he returned TO France in 1779
and was hailed as hero.
During the French revolution he was
an ardent republican and dropped his
title when he was made commander in
chief of the National Guards. He was
driven from his country by the ex-
tremists. and the Austrians flung him
into dungeon, where he was confined
for five years.

HONOR FIRST
SOLDIER DEAD
Signal Tribute Paid to Floyd Putnam
by Citizens of His Iowa Home.

Floyd Putnam, who died at Camp
Pike, Ark, March IS, was buried with
full military honors at his old Iowa
home, Postville, March 27. All bust
ness houses and schools of that city
were closed and the entire populace
turned out to pay their tribute of re-
spect to their first soldier dead. The
death of this soldier is of peculiar in
terest to Emmett, as he was for seven
years resident of this city, having
been absent only two years.
The Postville Review gives the fol-
lowing account of his funeral:
The funeral of Private Floyd Put
nam, the first soldier from this imme-
date locality to lay down his life
for his country since the United States
entered the present great world war,
was held from Turner Opera House
last Friday afternoon. 1t was doubt
less the largest gathering Of its kind
ever assembled in Allamakee county.
Every business house in Postville was
closed, the schools were dismissed for
the afternoon and practically the en-
tire populace of the city, together with
many people from the towns and
country roundabout turned out to pay
last tribute of respect to the mem
DRY of one who had made the supreme
sacrifice for his country and for us.
The funeral service was under the
auspices of the Masonic fraternity,
of which the deceased was an hon
ored member, assisted by every
church in the city. The stage was
profusely decorated with American
flags, while over the center of the
stage hung the service flag of Broth
erly Love lodge No. 204, A. F. G. A.
NJ, its field of white adorned with
nine stars, the central one of which
by the death of the brother had
its coloring changed from blue to gold.
A table draped with flags and bunting
was set in the place usually occupied
by the casket and upon it were placed
the many beautiful offerings of flow
ers. A firing squad of "boys in khaki"
was present, the ladies of the surgical
dressing department of the Red Cross
were there in uniform, the teachers
and pupils of the public schools were
out in body with flags provided
by j. M. Harris, and the community
band played a funeral march as it es-
corted this solemn and imposing cor
tege to Postville cemetery. where a
farewell salute was fired, taps sound
ed and the remains of our soldier dead
deposited in the grave with civic, mill
tary and Masonic honors.
Floyd Myron Putnam was born in
Bloomfield township, Winneshiek
county, Iowa, August %, 1890, and
there he remained until 1908, when
he went with his sister, Mrs. C. E.
Dresser to Emmett, Idaho, returning |
three years ago to the old home farm. |
In September, 1917, he was called in |
to the service of his country and went |
into military training at Camp Dodge,
Iowa. In November, 1917, he was
transferred to Camp Pike, Ark, where
he died in the camp hospital March
49,, of meningitis, aged 81 years, 6
months and "a days. He was a MEM

ing signal man of his company. He

Persons In District; Big Drive To
End Saturday

Five hundred and sixty-seven cit
izens of the Lynden district bought a
total of $6O,750 worth of Liberty
bonds up to today, giving the district
fine record of patriotism in the
eyes of the national government. The
official minimum quota for Lynden
was only. $37.5O0, but the county
committee asked that the district sub
scribe for a total of $4,000.
Lyndon easily passed both these re-
quirements, and by the end of the
week, it is hoped that the total will
advance still further toward the
seventy-five thousand dollar mark, or
double the minimum quota. D..
The sale will close Saturday night.
and any persons who were overlooked
by the official committee are urged
to respond patriotically and apply for
bond at the Lynden State Bank,
which is acting without charge for
the government as a sales agency of
the issue.
