HE KICKED THE KAISER.
EIgin Has Man Who Planted Boot
On the Kaiser.

Elgin has man, who when boy
of fourteen, kicked the kaiser's
father. This man is no other than
Chris Loertscher, and he is now
seventy-four years old, but the Incl
dent remains fresh in his memory.
Here is the story:
The Loertscher family lived in
Wimmis, Switzerland, and the elder
Loertscher was one of the few men Of
that town who had a hunting license.
Round about this town are noun
tains and game is to be found in
abundance there.
One day. the kaiser's father and a
party of nobility came to Wimmis
for hunt, and as would be natural,
looked up the elder Loertscher for a
guide and companion on the trip. He
agreed to go with them but when he
told his wife of the proposed trip, she
objected to his going with the party,
saying they were not the kind of peo-
pie for him to go with and that she
was sure some accident would befall
him.
However, he had promised and at

CONTAGIOUS DISEASES.
People Have Had Lesson i'm Power of
Harm of Such Epidemic as In
fluenZa

One reason why the influenza epi-
demic got such hold in this country
is that so many people have wholly
wrong feeling about contagious dis
eases.
When scarlet fever is prevalent,
there are plenty of people who will
send children to school when they
have enough of the disease to give it
to other pupils. They dislike so much
to be quarantined that they will con-
ceal the suspicious symptoms, until
some one is really very sick and they
get scared. Then they call a doctor.
but not until the child is in great
danger. Also he was out among
children long enough to imperil a
lot of others and spread the cpl
demic widely.
When any such disease gets start
led, and person becomes slightly
i'll with suspicious SYMPTOMS, he
should not force himself to 60 to
work. He will do much better for
himself and his employer or his own
business, to take a day off and send
for the doctor. If he hasn't 1t, a
days rest will set him on his feet
again. If he has it, then he saves
giving 1t to a lot of others. Also by
taking it in time, his chances of get
ting off with only slight attack are
greatly improved. He is likely to
have a much smaller doctors bill.
Doctors are sometimes complain
ed of for not reporting contagious
disease more promptly, Probably
some are negligent. Yet the trouble
is no doubt that most physicians hate
to pronounce 1t a contagious case
until they are sure. But persons
that have supersticious symptoms
ought to be more carefully isolated.
Had this influenza epidemic been
met with adequate measures at the
start, many lives could have been
saved and interruption of our war
activities prevented. We have had a
lesson in the power of harm of such
epidemics. Our people should CO.
operate heartily whenever any in
lection threatens to boone general.

Died in jamestown, N. d.

Albert Lee was born Sept. 9th,
1890, in DEBORAH, Iowa, and moved
to jamestown about ten years ago
where he has been employed by the
Northern Pacific railroad. He was
married Dec. Sth, 1913, to Miss
Charlotte Lauder at Mandan. Mr..
Lee was taken sick about the first
of October with a severe attack of
grippe which was followed by pneu-
monia. He made a brave fight
against the inevitable and it was re-
ported on two occasions that the bat
tie had gone against him. At the
time Of his death, Oct. IL, he was
preparing to return to his home from
the hospital when the grim reaper
made his final charge. There are
two children, Thomas Albert, years
of age and Jessie Lauder, 2 years
old. One brother, Henry Lee, resides
in jamestown. Mr. and Mrs. Lau-
der of River Falls, Wis, were among
the out of town relatives to attend

In Sweet Renbrance.

Anna Marjory Fosse, born Nov.
70, 1912, died October IL, 1918 dear
ly beloved little daughter of Mr.. and
Mrs. Seymore Fosse.
There is a little spot in Ridgeway
cemetery which will always be very
dear and sacred so long as life and
memory last, to these bereaved par
ents, for beneath rests the precious
little form Of Marjory, not dead, but
only sweetly sleeping. The fairest
flower will bloom and the breezes
sing their softest lull-a-bye DER the
grave of this little one Her bright
smile and childish laughter will be
seen or heard no more on this earth,
but they will always live in the
hearts and memories of those who
loved her best. Her sunny DISPOSE
ton and childish prattle gladdened
the hearts of her many friends, both,
young and old. Thus. like the little
flower that grew by the roadside, 70
cheer the lonely stranger on his way,
she has served her mission we'll, 50
we'll that God saw fit to fold her in
his tender embrace so soon. Surely
the realms of heaven must have re-
sounded long and sweet with the
songs of the heralding angels, when
they welcomed the spirit of little
Marjory amidst their throng, where
she is safe from all the cares and
griefs of this work-a- day world, and
where her sweet spirit will endure
nothing save hallowed happiness and
tenderest love.
Then, loved one, we will cease to
mourn,
But rejoice that thou art glad;
Our aching hearts could ne'er re-
tain thee,
Tho to lose thee makes us sad
And this tho't will cheer us onward
Till our pilgrimage is Ger,
That in heaven we will meet thee,
Yes, will meet to part no more

the appointed hour he took his gun
and hounds and started.
The children had heard the words
of their mother and were filled with
apprehensive fear for the safety of
their father, especially was this true
of Chris then lad of fourteen.
The hunting party was out for a
number of hours but toward evening
there was great commotion and
much shouting on the streets of the
village and the villagers rushed out
to find the cause. Among them was
little Chris and his brother.
The hunting party was returning
but as the two boys watched, they
could not see their father. Chris
broke into a flood of tears and sob
bed as though his heart was break
ing. When his royal highness motto
ed this he walked over to him and
placed his hand on the head of the
boy and said, my son, what is the
matter? In reply the ruler of Ger
many got this: I'm not your son,
want my father" and with the words
a hard kick on the shirs.
Chris says that the lunch that the
party carried had been little too
much for his father, but that he got
home safe and sound, after while

Our War Governor.

In it's issue of October Bird the
Iowa Homestead takes it upon itself
to say a few words about Governor
Harding.
If Mr. James M. Pierce, the editor
of the Iowa Homestead, was mould
or of the opinion among the farmers
of the State, Governor Harding
might as well throw up his hands
right now. But it happens the Iowa
farmers have minds of their own and
can, and do form their own opinions,
and 1t also happens that their opin-
ion of our War Governor, who Is a
real Governor, is vastly different
from that which Mr.. Pierce would
be pleased to infiict upon them.
On Thursday, October Srd, Gov
ernor Harding spoke at our county
fair, and such a rousing, patriotic
speech no one in these parts ever
heard before. He made many
friends by the open, frank and de-
cisive manner In which he treated
the different subjects talked about
and more than one democrat voter
said to this writer that they had
never cast vote for a Republican
Governor, but that Governor Harding
was to have their vote next month

long before Columbus discovered

bowed in prayer before their God.
Close beside the church is an old
castle almost 500 years older than
the church.
When we got off at our station our
regiment was accorded a thrilling
welcome by the inhabitants of the
village. The mayor was on hand and
made speech and presented large
