IOWA IS Low
ON DESERTERS
More Than Six Hundred Deserters
From National Guard Camps
During the Month Of
February.
IOWA Low WITH ONLY FOUR
Pennsylvania Leads With More Than :
Hundred Appeal on Letter
Writing.

Iowa mothers are given credit fol
higher patriotism and Iowa soldiers
are given equal credit for devotion tC
duty by war department officials as the
result of an investigation just conclud-
ed in Washington, D. c., of causes fol
recent assertions in the national guard
camps
During the month of February there
were more than 600 assertions in the
national guard camps. Pennsylvania
national guard division at Augusta
Ga, had more than 100 of this total
The Thirty-fourth division at Camp
Cody, of which the Iowa national
guardsmen are part, had only four
assertions in the month, the lowest at
any of the camps.
Where the mothers come in for
praise is that it has been established
by investigation that 80 per cent OF the
assertions were due to letters receiv-
ed by soldiers from their mothers, tell
ing the boys how much they were
missed and how the mothers wished
they were home. Inconsistencies
brought on by these gloomy letters en-
couraged the boys to desert and go
home.
It was first believed German propa-
gandists were at work, that fictitious
letters were sent to soldiers telling
them of sickness in their families, but
investigation showed the letters were
genuine and that families of the SOL
diers were the spreaders of gloom.
The war department is considering
the ACCESSIBILITY of making an appeal to
mothers and relatives of soldiers to
write cheerful letters to the boys in
camp, and not to encourage their
inconsistencies.
Meantime the department has re-
quested camp commanding officers to
take all possible steps to remove caus-
es for dissatisfac action, and at the same
time to warn the boys of the serious
consequences of deserving in war time.
Punishment in the cases of desertion
arising from this cause will be light.

County's Share License Money.

County Treasurer r. d. Hughes
This morning received draft from
the state treasurer for 1852, this
sum being Hamilton county's share
of the state automobile license money.
This is approximately $4,000 less than
this county received last year, indie
ating that people are slower this year
about taking out their licenses.
The allotment of automobile license
money is made on the basis OF town
ships. The amount per township is
S46G and Hamilton county is paid for
sixteen townships. There are seven
teen townships in the county, but
Boone township is carved out OF
other townships and is not counted
in the allotment.
The auto tax money goes into the
county road fund and is used solely
in road mprovement-gradin bridge
building and other work of per-
manent nature on the highways OF the
county.
The negligence of auto owners in
taking out their licenses will probably
cause some activity on the part OF
officers in districts where negligence
is apparent. There are far more
autoes in Iowa this year than last
and that less licenses have been
taken out is something of a reflection
upon the state.

Have No Blacksmith Shop.

Ellsworth News: A. j. Henderson,
who has been conducting the harness
shop here during the winter has de-
cided that there is more money in
working for the government than for
himself, and has consequently closed
up his shop.
Mr.. Henderson and Geo. Enos, who
has been working for him, have secur-
ed positions with wholesale harness
concern in Des Moines, and they will
go to work there on government stuff.
This will leave Ellsworth without a
harness and repair shop.

Lecture Course for Jewell.

Jewell Record: In spite of the
rainy weather-and the rain was very
welcome-an interesting and enthu-
siastic meeting of the Jewell Commun-
ity Club was held Monday night, the
regular monthly session. Following a
luncheon, the business session was
held, attended by about forty members.
The club discussed the matter of a
lecture and entertainment course for
next winter. and in spite of the fact
that the club went in the hole about
twenty-five dollars on the course the
past winter, and in spite of the addi-
tional fact that the price of lecture
courses has advanced along with
everything else and that course OF
the quality of that held the past win
ter will cost thirty dollars more next
winter than the club had to pay for
last winters four numbers-in spite
of these two things, the club Monday
night voted unanimously to instruct
the committee to go ahead and con-
tract.
