 T had no idea it took so long to break In an artificial limb until I had to do it, said Richard F. Johnston, the we'll known newspaper man.
 Tt is funny how we look on things. used to see a one-armed or a one legged man, and it never made much impression on me, but now that I have to get about on manufactured les, l have greater sympathy for the fel- low similarly handicapped. I am glad, however. that my loss came at time when there was such an improvement in the making of artificial limbs. The best minds of the best experts are devoting their time to the business, as the va rious governments of the world are get ting ready to fix up their armless ana legless men in the best possible manner, so that they will be as little inconven- fenced as possible and be able to pursue their trades or professions"

SHAKESPEARE AND THE KAISER

From the Commerce and Finance.
 Not long ago the Kaiser made the dis covery that the Bard of Avon, if not Germanic, was so profound in his ad- miration of the German as practically to be a German-so the Kaiser, in his impe- rial way, declared Shakespeare and all his works to be German. Now, from Upper Montclair, a person writes:
 'In view of the sudden German reso- lution to apotheosize Shakespeare, it may be worth while to note Shakespeare's s own estimate of the typical German of his day.
 T quote the passage from The Mer- Nerissa is catechizng Portia about her suitors and Portia is describing them in reply:

 'Nerissa-If he should offer to choose, and choose the right casket, you should refuse to perform your fathers will if you should refuse to accept him.
 Portia-Therefore for fear of the worst, I pray thee set deep glass of Rhenish wine on the contrary casket; for if the devil be within, and that tempta- tion without. I know he will choose it will do anything. Nerissa, ere I will be married to spunge

Limited Service
May Be Summoned

There is a possibility that the pro-
vost marshal general intends to call
into service men classes for limited
service. 1t - estimated that there are
perhaps thirty to fifty Of these in the
1917 registration.
This class is described in the Official
physical examination regulations as
"registrants who on examination are
found to suffer from remediable de-
fects which fall within the proper
standards may be accepted for general
military service in the deferred
remediable group. GROUP b."
Formerly the regulations were that
such men were to be sent to army
camps to be treated or receive opera
tons to cure or-correct the disability
with which they suffered at the time.
Quite recently, as the physical re-
quirements were made more strict,
none of these could be sent to camp.
Some such men have voluntarily sub
mitted to operations and treatment to
cure their defects and enable them to
get into the service.
The local exemption board is of the
opinion it is the intention probably to
summon all or part of these men into
service there to be treated and cured.
or to order them cured at home and
made ready for induction for general
military service. The most common
Cause of disability found in the men of
Group is hernia, and many Of these
cases are durable by operation. The
board has been ordered to have its re-
port Of tho number Of theSze r,,ey, ", tho
adjutant generals office Thursday.

hibited at Fair. =

The thousands who attend the
county fair next month will not have
to pay the usual 10 per cent war tax
on admission charges for amusements.
Secretary w. M. Clark has received
from Louis Murphy. collector of in
ternal revenue for the Iowa district, n,
certificate of exemption relieving the
fair association Of the necessity of
collecting the war tax. The exemption
includes all classes OF admissions to
the grounds and to the grand stand
The ruling affecting the admission
charge to the county fair also applies
to all similar agricultural fairs. which
the government desires should be
maintained and patronized as usual
during the period Of the war.
Exhibitors Applying.
Additions to the swine pavilions
large enough to hold 200 or more
swine are being built to have them
ready for fair week. Additions have
built to both pavilions and have been
subdiyided into fifty pens, 6xs feet. 1t
Is thought that these addition pens
will be enough to provide room for all
the swine that heretofore have been
housed under tents. As a matter of
fact the addition occupies practically
all the room that is available for swine
pens in the southwest corner of the
grounds. II more pens are needed they
may have to be built elsewhere
Early inquiries, together with some
entries. indicate that the number Of
live stock exhibitors will probably be
as large this year as usual. Many Of
the central Iowa Hive stock breeders
including number from outside the
bounty. who have annually shown their
animals at the county, fair, are ex-
pected to show as usual. judging by
INQUIRIES regarding pens and stalN.
In sofar as the fair association has
been advised, the rule for the free
shipment by freight OF live stock re-
turned from fairs where they have
been exhibited still governs. Railroad
agents have advised t:e. county fair
association that tbs rule has not been
charged, so far as they have been adj
sised.
The comfort station for men Is being
erected IN the cast end of the grounds
and will be ready by fair week. Ed T.
Austin, superintendent Of amusements
and races, has gone to Mason City to
attend the northern Iowa fair which
opened there today.
