Load lightly and drive slowly.
Stop in the shade if possible.
Water your horse as often as pos
sible. So long as a horse is work
ing water in small quantities will not
hurt him. But let him drink only a
few swallows if he is going to stand
still. Do not fail to water him at
night after he has eaten his hay. d.
When he comes in after work
sponge off the harness marks and
sweat. his eyes, his nose and mouth
and the dock. Wash his feet but
not his legs.
If the thermometer is IS degrees or
higher wipe him all over with damp
sponge, using vinegar water If posi-
BILE. Do not wash the horse al night.
Saturday. night give him a bran
mash, lukewarm, and add a table
spoonful of saltpeter.
Do not use a horse hat unless it
is a canopy-top hat. The ordinary
bell-shaped hat does more harm than
good.
A sponge on top of the head or even
a cloth is good if kept wet. If dry
il is worse than nothing.
II the horse is overcome by heat
get him into the shade, remove har,
maze apd hridle wash ont his mouth
sponge him all over. shower his legs
and give him two ounces of aromatic
spirits of ammonia or two ounces OF

800 MORE PENNIES
OSKAlOOSA GO HAWKS HEAR
FROM LAST CONTRIBUTION.

Mrs. c. c. Sheppard is in receipt OF
the following letter which will be of
interest to local Go-Hawks:
Il cannot begin to tell you how
pleased | was when the letter came
and out fell the check for another five
hundred pennies. 1t was not so much
the gift of pennies that gladdened me.
but the knowledge it brought that you
and the Oskaloosa Go-Hawks had not
lost your interest nor your loyalty to
the Happy Tribes great war work that
it is undertaking. hated to write and
ask you to continue when you had
done so beautifully on the first million
pennies. At the same time | feel that
have no more right to stop this work
than any other form of Red Cross
work can stop while the great world
struggle continues. The call from over
seas for the children is so insistent
and there seems to be so much to do
that l feel that we must go on. do
not want to call the fund a Million
Penny War Fund now for that gives a
feeling OF obligation to raise one mil
lion. At the same time it gives a feel
ing of limitation that the work would
be complete with the million. would
rather now be left entirely free, and
if We can reach a billion pennies so
much the better.
We appreciate all you are doing in
0skaloosa. With love, to yoa from
Emily b. Stapp (Happy).

THE ALLY oE THE HUN

When DR.. Aked of the American Re

told some narrowing tales of Turkish
cruelty. They were almost beyond be-
lief. but repeated tales sitting through
the press reports prove that DR., Aked
did not tell the whole truth. Mrs. Es-

hung him head-downward from the

IN THE MALAY STATES.

Rich Chinese merchants in the
Federated Malay States are buying
armored tanks and presenting them
10 the British army and many have al
so given aeroplanes, according TO J
Stuart Nagle, who has just returned
to this country. Mr.. Nagle a Method
list missionary, has spent the past five
years in Singapore where he is presi
dent of the Anglo-Chinese College.
There are number of wealthy
Chinese who are giving more than a
tenth of their incomes TO aid the Al
lies, declared Mr. Maggie. Some gave
large contributions toward building
the battleship Malaga which wa
given by the Federated Malay States
to the British government shortly aft
er the outbreak of the war and which
took a prominent part in the famous
sea fight off Ju+land. These people arr
also investing heavily in War Loans
and give generously to the Red Cross
At one sigle affair recently they rails
ed $57 600 for this cause. The boys o.
our own AngIO-Chinese School las
year gave over $4,000 towards wa
charities"
Sometimes even the missionaries
get mixed up in war" said Mr. Magic
Shortly after the outbreak of tn,
World War, the English Government
interned all the Germans in Malaysia
The Germans then bribed some of tht
native troops to mUtiny. There were
thirty of us holding our annual con
ference when word was brought u
that the troops had mutined and tina
they had seized cannon and were go

OFFICIAL COUNTY PAPER.
aEouIEM.


Breathe. trumpets, breathe
Slow notes Of saddest wailing--
Sadly responsive peal, yet muffle'
drums;
Comrades with downcast eyes
And banners trailing,
Attend him home
The youthful warrior comes.
Upon his shield,
Upon his shield returning.
Borne from the field of honor
Where he fell;
Glory and grief, together clasped
In mourning,
His fame his fate
With sobs exulting tell
Wrap around his breast
The flag his breast defended
His country's flag,
In battles field unrolled;
For if he died;
On earth forever ended
His brave young life
Lives in each sacred fold.
With proud fond tears,
BY .tinge of shame untainted.
Bear him. and lay him
Gently in his grave;
The young halfsainted,-
His country asked his life,
His life he gave.
