OBITUARY.
DRAKE.

Arthur Verian Drake was the third
son of Austin Sherman Drake and Ada
Victoria De Laski, and was born at
Eau Claire, Wisconsin,, on the 23rd of
July, 1874.
He completed his education at the
Stitson University of De Land, Florida,
where he took military training and
specialized in the French and Spanish
languages. both of which he spoke and
wrote fuently. From there he went to
Porto Rico as tutor to the Spanish con-
sul's family. At the time of the
Spanish war he was the only American
left there and through the efforts of
this Government an English ship
touched at Miaguay and brought him
to Boston.
For several years he worked in the
Times Office at Cresco, Iowa, and also
in the Plain Dealer office in this city at
different times. Mr.. Drake was
member of the Cresco Militia and won
several state medals on the rifle team.
Later he was q member of Company G
at Waterloo, Iowa. When the present
war opened he endeavored to enlist and
at the examination for this, the disease
that carried him away was discovered.
He was a member of the Waterloo Fire
Department for about six years.
The deceased, at the age of 43 years,
months and q days, passed away at
his home at 1410 Franklin St.,
Waterloo, Iowa, Saturday, April 20,
1918, leaving wife and one son.
Chester Verisn, age one year.
A short service was held at the
Kistner Chapel, Waterloo, Iowa, con-
Quoted by Rev. Askins of the First
Baptist Church.
Among the beautiful floral offerings
were designs from the City Fire
Department. the local orders of Odd
Fellows, Rebeccahs and the Tribe of
Ben Hur to which he belonged.
Mr.. Drake was a man of sterling
character and a kind and loving
husband and father.
The wife accompanied the body to
Cresco where Rev. Petit conducted
service at the home of Mrs. Ada
Bark~r, cousin of the deceased, on
Tuesday afternoon. Interment was
made in Oak Lawn Cemetery.

w. G. Shaffer of New Hampton. was

candidacy for congressman in the June
primaries Mr.. Shaffer claims to be

his ability to dethrone Haugen, who
will poll an almost solid scandinavian
vote, which, with the help Of the
Loyal Lous" over the district and the
pro- German element to which Haugen
caters, will land Haugen a winner in
the primaries. 1t is useless to deny
that Haugen has the support of the
pro-Germsn element. 1t is actually
for him in every county in the district.
The same German element that voted
against President Wilson for re-elec-
ton are enthusiastically for Haugen.
