GIVEN A COMMISSION
Gets Lieutenancy at Fort Johnston
Mccarthy and Calkins to
Officers School.

B. O. Brumfield, former city clerk,
now with the American military
forces, has received his commission
in the quartermaster department.
Lieutenant Brumfield enlisted as sup
.ply sergeant in the old Second Iowa
Supply Company and, with the disin-
,tegration of the regiment at Camp
Cody, was transferred to Fort Joseph
E. Johnston, Georgia, where he is now
located.
William C. Mccarthy, former first
sergeant of the old Second Iowa Sup
ply Company and more lately with
the Wagon Company of the 1O9th
Ammunition Train at Camp Cody, is
in the officers training school of the
southern camp, together with George
Calkins, member of the 125th ma
chine gun company. The school is
expected to close August 18th.

Fort Dodge, Des MOines s. Southern
Believed to be Under Government
Control the Same as Steam
Roads.
QUESTION OF WAGES INVOLVED
A Voluntary Increase has Been Given
but It was not Satisfactory to
the Men.

Boone News Republican: Under
good authority it has been stated thai
the Fort Dodge, Des Moines & South
ern railway is under government con
troll, and that, therefore, the question
of wages and working conditions tha
seemingly cannot be satisfactorily ad
justed here will be handled the same
as on other railroads that have beer
taken over by the government by the
wage commission. 1t is apparent thai
nearly all the questions will be settled
without referring them to the com.
mission, according to one of the grand
lodge officials who represent the EN-.
ployes of the electric road.
The question as to whether the cleo
trio line was affected by the recent
government control measure had ham
pered negotiations between men and
officials of the road in arranging fol-
changes in wages and working condi-
tions. Until late Wednesday it was
believed that the road was not under
government control and SO on July l
the road granted voluntary wage in
crease which, it is said, was not entire
ly satisfactory to the men.
Washington Dispatch.
The following Washington dispatch
is one basis for the BELIEF that the
road is now under federal authority:
The railroad administration has an.
nounced that 553 short line railroads
had been retained under government
control. All employees Of these lines
will receive the wage awards made to
employees of the steam roads, and own.
ers will be compensated under the
general contract.
Control of approximately 1900
short lines, terminal roads and main
line feeders finally has been relin.
quished by the railroad administra.
ton, which was given until July l by
the Original railroad control act tc
turn back to private ownership roads
the operation Of which by the govern
ment was not regarded as essential.
At the railroad administration 1t
was said some of the roads re-
linquished might be taken over again
under contracts to be arranged by the
owners Each case, however, will be
decided upon it's individual merits, ii
was explained.

PROCEEDS TO THE
RED CROSS SOCIETY
Chautauqua Board to Donate Proceeds
Provided Advance Ticket Sale is
Over $1,000.

At a meeting of the Chautauqua
board held Saturday afternoon it was
unanimously decided to donate all the
proceeds received by the local Chau-
tauqua association this year to the
Red Cross. Under the contract made
at the close of the Chautauqua last sea-
son, the local board is entitled to 10
per cent of the proceeds, provided the
advance sale of season tickets amounts
to $1,000. In case the advance sale
fails to reach this figure, the local
board receives nothing. The public
will therefore bear in mind the
supreme importance to the local board
Of selling not less-than $1,000 worth of
season tickets in advance. Let every
Chautauqua patron remember to buy
his season ticket in advance in order
that the Red Cross may have the bene-
fit of this percentum allowance.
The Chautauqua will be held as
usual on the central school grounds.
Tickets are on sale at all banks and
drug stores. A war tax of ten per cent
will be collected at the gate in addition
t. the price of the tickets.
The program for this seasons Chau-
tauqua is built up to fill the needs Of
the times. 1t will be primarily a
patriotic program, interspersed with
the highest possible grade Of music and
light entertainments.

Do not Boil Sugar.

When cooking fruits, it is a good
plan to add the sugar when the fruit
is about to be removed from the fire
This is because sugar is digestible in
its raw state and it's sweetness is
harmed by long cooking, say the
home economics experts at Iowa
State college. The cooking brings
about chemical process which con-
sists of the inverting of the cane SUI
gar into a simple sugar by the acid
in the fruit. Scientists, as we'll as
housewives, have found that simple
sugar is not as sweet as cane sugar
and therefore they recommend that
the sugar be given just time TO dis
solve before removing the fruit from
the fire.
