% call to 1903. These additional
men will be sent to, Camp Gordon at
Atlanta, Ga. This will make 6,4S0
Iowa men to go to Camp Gordon in
stead of 5,2S2. the number originally
given out. Any lingering hopes of

first class, that the July draft would
miss them, are probably blasted by
this additional order, according to
estimates by the adjutant generals
office. The new order, it is believed,
will completely exhaust Glass One in
the state, and may dip into Class Two.

Registration Of German alien wom-
en- in Des Moines is producing some
strange paradoxes. German born wom-
en- are turned away with the answer
that they do not have to register,
while other women born in America,

guns under the stars and stripes are
being listed as alien enemies. This is
usually because they have married
German born men who have not been
naturalized.

The state council of defense wants
the farmers to build silos so as to con-
serve what 1t grown on the farms
this year A silo on farm is a use
full thing, nowadays almost neces-
sary thing. To have silo is the wish
of every farmer-if he is worthy Of
