FAIRFIELD MEN

been sworn into service.
At the present the men are being
drilled by Second Lieutenant Forrest

pany will not be chosen until the en-
tire organization is mustered into
service. It is probable that this COM

before April but enlistments are be-
ing solicited now by Mr.. Wright and
the various members of the platoon.
It is hoped that by the time the men
are called for service there will be at
least fifty members in the Jefferson

GIVE FREELY
CHARITY GIFTS ARE MORE LIBER-
Al HERE PRESENT WINTER;
POOR ARE PATRIOTIC.

The demands upon charity in Of
tumwa have been about the same this
winter as last, but the response of the
people has been more generous this
year. This is the conclusion reached
both by the Salvation Army and the
Open Door Rescue Mission. AS re-
suit, both of these organizations have
been able to do more for the poor this
winter than ever before. The people.
in spite of the constant calls Of Red
Cross, Liberty Loans and Y. M. c. A,
have given more freely to charities
this winter than in any past year. The
war has evidently taught people to
give more than they have ever thought
they could afford.
In most cases the poor are very pat
riotic and often families are found
who have subscribed to the Red Cross
when they were in need Of help them
selves.

UNIVERSITY SAVES
MONEY FOR STATE

Des Moines, Jan. 9.-Through the
decreased enrolment in the Univer-
sity Of Iowa the state board of educa-
ton will be able to save to the state
this year more than 100000 according
to information given by w. H. Gem.
mill. secretary of the board. Gemmill
said that the saving was indirectly
due to the war and that the saving
was being made despite the increase
in costs of materials.
Together with the decrease in the
enrolment at the State university
the number on the faculty has been
decreased. The faculty has been cut
down due to professors enlisting for
military service and to the release OF
professors because of the decrease in
the enrolment
