wide recognition as one Of the most
successful melodramas OF the day.
This IS a point in its favor, owing to
the fact that those who had seen It
upon the legitimate stage will be
more than anxious to see 1t in pic

lifelike appeal that the story unoonot-

TWO HANNIBAL
PAPERS MERGE
COURiER-POST AND JOURNAL
WILL BE POLITICALLY
INDEPENDENT.

Hannibal, Mo-. March 4.-The Han
nibal Daily Courier-Post and the Han
nibal Daily Journal consolidated today
hereafter will issue as one newspaper
under the name of Hannibal Courier.
Post and Journal
In it's announcement Saturday the
Journal announced that it would, with
that issue, cease publication of a sep
arate paper and that hereafter it's
business would be combined with the
Courier-Post- The statement said that
the Journal had for several
months been running at a large
financial loss, that on account
of the high prices of mater
ials and the difficulties in secur-
ing them at any price, it could not see
any relief in the future and that its
discontinuance was made necessary in
order to conserve the assets offthe
owners. Todays issue of the com
bfned papers states that the Courier
Post and Journal will be conducted ~
a politically independent Newspaper. It
will give each Of the parties equal
space during the campaigns, but will
give its editorial support to men in
stead Of party affiliations. It Is in
line with many cities in the middle
west to have one good newspaper with
large circulation instead of two or
three small ones.

1--WE conserve fundamental religion
out here, and not sectarian1sm. We
have more common sense than at
home, trying to make the Catholic a
better Catholic, the Protestant a bet
ter Protestant or the Jew a better
Jew. Any agency seeking the good
of the soldier boy finds its opportun-
ity in the hut.
Here is the report Of my progress
and condition. Things are much as !
dreamed they would be. In my new
home I am literally living in house
by the side Of the road and being
friend to man. And it is glorious
work. We cannot tabulate results or
cast them up in figures. We DO not
try or really care to. And ever we get
more than we give. Yet we somehow
believe we are doing a Vital piece OF
service to the boys. The soldiers
lob is to conquer himself before he
can beat the Hun. He will shoot
straight who lives straight. Military
authorities claim that the final test
will be one of morale. We are trying
to show, as some one recently said,
that morale must be spelled morals.
To this end we labor and work. We
are keeping home fires burning over
here. There lies our best appeal to
the soldier. Be true to the best you
knew at home Be able to return VIC

we are trying to make it gateway
to some future heaven, either here or
over there. My conviction is we are
helping the boys who will go over the
top. We tremble at the bigness OF
our task. That is the challenge which
makes us glad we are here.
my best regards to Ottumwa
friends. An occasional Courier would
be of great interest. I do not forget

about it.

agement asking if waiting list can
be provided to take in cases in nearby
counties outside of Wapello. This is
necessary to relieve the demands
made upon Oakdale. 1t is also in
recognition of the results that have
been obtained here. There is posi-.
bility for Sunnnyslope becoming
large institution that might be used
to supply the hospital service needed
for tuberculosis cases in this section
Of the state. The property is large
enough as regards grounds, and the
location and general environment is
ideal, but the size is too small and the
institution will need financing to bring
this about. Neighboring counties may
be made to see these possibilities and
an arrangement arrived at whereby
Sunnyslope can be enlarged to meet
the needs Of tubercular patients not
only of Wapello but of several other
counties in southern Iowa.
