All Of the boys Of Co. L are well;

RYE BREAD
NEXT WEEK
Campaign to Use That for Bread Max

for One Week Through
Out Iowa.

BURLINGTON, Iowa, June 2S-Next
week is to be rye flour week for tne
whole state of Iowa and everybody
is urged for that week especially to
buy and eat rye flour products
Bake the bread a little longer 10
make It good, is the practical aoVlce
of cooks about rye bread by Admins
traitor Deems. For bread making, rye
is a perfect cereal, he says, and iowa
people are asked to use 1t exclusively
for one week to see how good 1t IS
and how perfectly it replaces wheat
flour bread. The wheat flour IS ABOUT
gone, 1t is officially reported, and the
bakers Of Iowa are likely to find them
selves without wheat flour in snort
time. So they are expected to line up
for rye bread week, also.

sympathy is a fellow feeling with
others in the varied experiences OF
joy or sorrow. The boys at the front
are willing to undergo any suffering,
lonesomeness and Inconsistencies.
Sympathize with them Many people
are carrying heavy loads. They need
help. To sympathize will give people
a chance to help themselves.
Jesus time and time again had
compassion on the crowd and fed and
healed them The world is in need OF
sympathy. This need is more appar-

Service has taken a new meaning
in this day. Some people have AWAY
known the meaning of the word. But
until the last few months thousands
of people had not the least concept
ion of its meaning. They lived FOR
themselves and thought little of the
general public or Of other individuals.

DAY NIGHT

Agency, Feb. 1S.-An explosion In
the Martin Brothers garage caused
the destruction of the garage and the
w. l.. Copple blacksmith shop by IRE
here Saturday at Z p. m. Shortly after
the explosion the building which
housed both concerns, was a mass Of
flames and quick work was necessary
to save the cars in the garage and the
household goods that were rescued
from the structure, the walls Of which
are about all that are left.
The loss of the Martin Brothers la
complete and they have no insurance,
About $500 is estimated as the value
Of the equipment they had destroyed
by fire. Two cars, one Of them the
property of C. Bush Of Ottumwa. wers
included in the fire loss. Mr.. Bush IL
q son-in-law of Mr.. Couple and had run
his car in the shop while visiting his
wife's people.
Mr.. Copies car and that Of JOHN
Myers that had been in the garage
were both saved. The household ef-
fects of the Couple home, which was
upstairs over the blacksmith shop
were partly saved. although the loss
of the building and equipment Of
blacksmith shop was practically com
plete. The insurance carried was
5000. The Ottumwa fire department
was called but the fire was beyond
control before it arrived.
The building was one Of the old
landmarks Of Agency.

REPORT MADE
ON SEAL SALE
DIRECTORS OF RED CROSS WILL
DISPOSE OF MONEY LEFT
IN FUND.

A report Of the sale of Christmas
seals has. been made by the civilian
relief committee and the Wapello
county chapter of the Red Cross, show
Ing balance of $69S1O.
The committee has forwarded the
40 per cent or $546.S4 to the Iowa Anti
tuberculosis association. The sale Of
the stamps was in charge of COM
mittee composed of Mrs. ]. ]. Smith,
chairman; Mrs. Hugh Doran, Mrs. j.
J. Adams and Miss Vera Tharp.
The work of the committee Is very
commendable, as the previous drive
for funds for Sunnyslope and the
Christmas Red Cross maintenance
drive had tendency to distract atten-
ton from the Importance Of the Christ
mas seal sale. The number of seals
sold totalled 136,710, from which
81, 367.10 was derived. The expense
for postage, printing and envelopes
to $122.16, which was de-
Quoted from the 60 per cent for local
work. The balance, $69S.10 remains
on hand for use in tuberculosis work
in Wapello county and final disposi-
ton of the fund will be made by the
board of directors Of the Red Cross
at its March meeting.

BUSINESS MEN MAY
AID MAIL SERVICE

A bulletin from the Chamber of
Commerce offthe United States recent
ly issued for the purpose of speeding
up the delivery of mail urges business
men to mail their correspondence as
early in the day as possible rather
than after business hours. The post
offices receive the greatest volume Of
mail at the close of the business day
and prompt handling and delivery of
this mail is not SO assured as it would
be il delivered earlier in the day.
Mail deposited at the earlier hours
of the day may be dispatched on day
train and thus be advanced as much
as twenty-four hours in delivery at
the destination over the evening mail.
The early mail is at least sure Of the
first evening dispatch.
