MANY SEE RELICS OF
WAR ON SPECIAL TRAIN

The special train over the Rock
Island which was sent across the
state to give Iowa people some idea
OF what was going on across the seas
in the theaters of war, drew large
crowds Saturday afternoon at Guth-
RE Center and Atlantic. The train
was in Guthrie Center early in the
afternoon, but did not leave there on
time so it reached Atlantic at $50
instead of 4:20, the schedule time.
The train carried two box cars,
three flat cars and a day coach.
With the train were several men
and women of statewide reputation,
who made patriotic talks and urged
the people everywhere to purchase
Liberty Bonds. Mrs. Max Mahar
of Iowa City and Karl Kenhle of
Denison We're among the speakers.
One of the cars contained a large
assortment of small relics such as
gas masks, helmets and the like,
while the flat cars carried cannons
and machine guns such as are used
by the French, British and the Ger
mans. Among the most interesting
relics was the big cannon captured
from the Germans only a short time
ago. All of the guns looked as
though they We're ages old. yet many
of them were in use but a few
months ago.

HORSE MAY BE EATEN IN CAN
ADA As GERMANS EAT DOG

CALGARY, ALTA movement TO
permit the sale of horse meat in
butcher shops throughout Canada has
received the Endorsement of all lead
ing live stock organizations in this
section of Canada and soon will be
formally placed before the Dominion
government in the form of recon-
mendation, according TO the Alberta
Horse, Cattle, Sheep, and Swine
Breeders association.
Horse meat, sold under the same
regulations as obtain in various Euro
pean countries, would result in a
great economic saving, the associa-
ton says, adding that thousands of
light horses chat have ceased to be
of economic value consume large
quantities of feed annually"
Figures dealing with the sale of
horse meat in Europe were made
public. They showed that one-sixth
of the 100000 families in Paris eat
horse flesh, and that Germany, as
far back as 1903, used 100000
pounds of horse meat annually. In
1909 GERMANY also consumed $3.50

SENIORS GAVE FAREWELL.

The Senior class of the Audubon
High School gave a farewell in the
gymnasium last Thursday for one
of their number, Ray McIntire, who
having completed his course of study
successfully, and being eighteen
years of age, was drafted by the gov
eminent to enter the Student Army
Corps at Ames, where he will at
tend Ames college under government
direction.
Ray finished his course of study
last week and was eligible to receive
his diploma. This was presented to
him at chapel meeting Thursday
morning. During the rendering of the
special exercises in his honor. the
school yell was given. Ray stood
the trial like a veteran until the yell
was given, and then he was over
come with emotion. 1t was too much
for him. He has enjoyed the work
with the members of his class and it
was hard for him to realize that he
had come to the point of breaking
with them. Ray is a 100 percenter
and enters his new duties with will
ingness and determination to do
what he can for his government. He
is one who will make a mark for
himself in the world and do credit
to his school and the community in
which he lives.
Thursday evening a social hour
was had in his honor at which
games of various kinds were played
after which refreshments We're
served. All present wished Ray the
best of success. Friday morning he
went to Ames, where he is now To-
Gated with hundreds of other young
men from over the state.

OUR PEOPLE WILL
SUPPORT THE MEN

Achievement of national solidarity
will be the big result of the merging
of the finance drives of the seven
recognized war welfare organizations
into the United War Work Campaign,
it was stated by DR.. John r. Mott,
the distinguished Iowan who is di-
rector general for the United States
of the United War Work Campaign,
at the state conference held in the
interests of the campaign at the Des
Moines Auditorium, Tuesday, Sept.
"a. Nine hundred and fifty men and
women from all parts of Iowa have
returned to their homes after at
tending this conference.
"The heart of America could well
stand still today did we know the
price our armies must pay this next
winter" cried DR.. Mott in emphasiz-
ing the need for Americans of all
creeds getting together at once in
spirit and aims.
That the national fund must sweep
across its goal of 170,500,000 was
declared by DR.. Mott. Chief among
the reasons why this is true is the
shifting of the great work among the
soldiers to overseas. Difficulties of
all sorts increase in working with our
troops on foreign soil, DR.. Mott
pointed out. Transportation charges
in interior France are enormous, the
troops are being constantly moved
and the war welfare organizations
must move with them. and they are
being scattered so that great num-
bers of huts are required if they are
all to be served.
Some people suggest that we
make a rule not to give nut to any
group of men smaller than 500 or
1900" remarked DR.. Mott, but if
they could find their boys as / found
mine. one OF a group of hundred
or two billeted in barns and chicken
houses in little French village dur
ing a cold, bleak, rainy winter, they
would give that village warm light,
cheerful hut if they had to mortgage
their homes and farms to do It,"

AS a useful backfire against war eff

OF stirring up anti-Japanese feelings.
Apropos Of which here is a bit of un-
published history:
In the fail, of 1914. Macmillan Foster.
widely known as a fiction writer and
with sane experience in the dramatic
field. was approached by a go-between
with an offer to write a play on the or
