ant.
News of the appointment of Mr..
Jones as county chairman Of the fourth
Liberty loan campaign will not come
as surprise to the people Of Craw-
ford county. Mr.. Jones has had charge
of the three Liberty loan campaigns
conducted in Crawford county, all OF
which were highly successful and
especially the last two which went
considerably over the quota. He has
been an untiring worker and through
his efforts and good management the
county was thoroughly organized and
the quotas equitably divided so that
every citizen took his just share. 1t
was through the suggestion of Mr..
Jones at meeting held in Chicago
that the property statement cards
were adopted and used in this dis
trict. These property statement cards
were so successful that other states
have adopted their use for the drive
which will be conducted this fall.
Mr.. Jones informs the Review that
the coming campaign will be short
one and that he and Mr.. McHenry eX-
pect to have Crawford countys quota
subscribed within one week from the
time the campaign opens. The Or
ganization in this county has been per-
fected and few il any changes will be
made for the coming campaign.
Crawford county is indeed fortu-
nate in having man of Mr.. Jones
caliber to take charge of the Liberty
loan campaigns and all are proud Of
the record made by Crawford under
his leadership and direction.

FIGHT FOR HUMANITY
Bishop Garrigan Makes Speech at Lake
City to Boys Going Away-He
Sounds Keynote.

Bishop Garrigan was one of the
speakers at the Lake City CONNER
cial club on the eve of the departure
Of the young men for the army posts.
He told them the men are going forth
to fight for humanity in real crusade.
All men whether or not they be-
lieve in God before they enter the
trenches, have a change of heart be-
fore they are under fire any length Of
time, asserted Bishop Garrigan. You
must be as loyal to God as to your
country he continued, ''for that is
your duty as men, your duty as Amer
leans and your duty to- yourselves.
You have the example Of General
Ferdinand Foch to lead you. He is Al
devout Catholic. And then too you
will have our own great leader, Gen..
J. ]. Pershing, who is model man, q
real soldier and believe, true chris
tian. You are going on the real cru
SADIE, going forth to fight for the hui
manity of the world and in that you
should fight like christian soldiers"

was thirty-seven years of age; born
in Iowa of German parentage, and
that he sold $100 worth of Liberty
bonds in part payment for ten shares
of stock in the Home Securities COM
pany of Sioux City. John Hansen
was the salesman.
William KunZe mad oath that he
was twenty-five years of age, born In
Iowa of German parents, and that he
had sold $50 in bonds for part pay

was the salesman.
Fred w. Kunze made oath that he
was 'twenty-seven years of age; born
in Germany, and that he had traded
$3.50 worth of Liberty bonds in part
payment for $3125 worth Of stock in
the Home Securities company of
Sioux City. He said he had given IS
to the Red Cross. S. to the Y. M. c..
A. and had $50 in savings stamps.
Richard Baak made oath that he
was thirty years Of age; born in
Crawford county, and that he did own
$25OO worth of Liberty bonds, and
that he traded them for stock in the
Home Securities company of Sioux
City. Baak had contributed SIS to the
Red Cross, $40 to the Y. M. C. A. and

worth of Liberty bonds and exchanged
the same for stock in the Home Secur-
tiles company Of Sioux City. John
Hansen was the salesman. Mr.. Baak

OF German Descent.
The singular circumstance and the
one that will attract the most atten-
ton is that the men selling these Lib
erty bonds at Charter Oak, Crawford
county, Iowa, are all Germans Or OF
German descent.
The evil of the situation is that
these bonds will ultimately 60 on the
market and be for sale, thus affecting
seriously the price of government Sc
curities. There could be circumstan-
ces under which men would be en-
titled to sell their government bonds.
1t is not every man that can afford
to hold government bonds, but the
agents selling the Home Securities
company stock appear to have mark
ed outsa campaign for the purpose OF
securing government bonds. 1t will
be interesting to know whether this
is going on in any other part of the
state or any part of the country.
The citizens Of Charter Oak were
not parting with their government
bonds to get out of debt, but in nearly
every case they went further into
debt. These men must have all had
to spare or they could not have
pulled off these transactions.
Men who expect to sell Liberty
bonds again in October this year will
be much interested in this report from
Charter Oak, Crawford county, Iowa.

Of water. Every gas has certain vapor
tension whether it is the atmosphere or
whether it is Illuminating gas of any kind,
and gas will take up a certain amount of
moisture mechanically. That depends upon
the pressure and the temperature. Gas
leaves the gas-holder saturated with GER
tain amount of this vapor the same as the
atmosphere.
when it comes in contact with a cooler
spot the moisture is naturally drawn down,
the as it would be from the con-
densers' in the gas works. If it is cold
enough at the spot where the pipe is ex-
posed the water freezes. Further supplies
of gas coming along supply further guam
titles of that aqueous vapor, and that
freezes, and if the cold snap is long enough
there is danger of the entire pipe being
frozen.
$50 far as your gas company is con.
cerned, every precaution is taken to pro.
tect service pipes against freezing where
they run from the main in the street to
your building. Wouldn't it be we'll for you
to see to it now that your building pipes
are in good condition to withstand the
coming assaults of bitter winter weather ?"

leads some persons to believe, enormously,
that there is water in the gas. In the
manufacture water is turned into steam as
it is passed through anthracite COAL and in
going through coal it is decomposed into
hydrogen and carbonic oxid. Should there
be any steam there undecomposed it is
condensed into water again in conden-

success the efforts to obtain commissions

half century mark, was offered a place in
the judge advocate generals office, and
the quartermaster corps commissioned an

A Caterpillar That Builds
a Log Cabin

THE evergreen bagworm may be found
u on several varieties of the trees
from which it takes its name, preferably
the red cedar and arbor vitae. AS q
protective dwelling it makes a curious
bag remotely resembling the case of the
aquatic caddis flies that make homes Of
tiny pebbles and bits Of stick, says Ed
ward F. Bigelow in Boys Life
"a common form of these caterpillars
has the habit of building tiny log cabins.
When the caterpillar wishes to move from
one place to another, it pushes forth the
short end of its body. creeps along and
carries the house with it, Some strange
stories have centred around these interest
ing insects. 1t is said that one species in
Ceylon was believed by the natives to be
composed of individuals who were pre-
viously earth as human beings and stole
kindling wood After their death as human
beings the punishment decreed was that
they should return to earth and build homes
of kindlng wood and ever carry them"

nne Climate as Good as
~ Another

Influenza occurs III every part OF the
world, during any season of the year and
without regard to climatic conditions. 1t
may appear in sporadic or epidemic form.
Under what conditions or influences the
disease becomes epidemic is subject of
vide discussion and need not be dealt with
here, further than to say that it is believed
BIZ some authorities that during the cpl
demic period the specific organism is more
active and virulent tl.an at other times. 1t
is reasonable to as ume that influenza in
some form is more or less constantly
present.
"Outbreaks of influenza extending over
large part of the orld have not infre-
quently occurred-for instance, during 1889
90 1t visited almost every section of the
globe, involving a large part Of the United
States. AS might be expected, this disease
has been exhaustively studied, and while in
vestigators have expressed opinions some
what at variance with each other concerning
its origin and habits there is but little
doubt that it is essentially the same wher
ever it occurs. The term Spanish Influenza
has no special meaning further than to in.
dictate that at some time an epidemic of
considerable severity visited Spain. 1t
may be noted that the disease has also been
called Russian and Egyptian Influenza
ut is rather the complications Of innu-
enza-chiefy monia-which frequently
occur during epidem;cs, that constitute the
serious factor iii connection with this dis
ease, although statistics show that influenza
is not very dangerous to life, except proba-
bly, in places where poverty and overcrowd-
ing exist or in some instances where there
are some unusually wet or otherwise de-
pressing climatic conditions.
whether or not influenza and colds are
but different types of the same affection,
and this is not unreasonable to believe it
is evident that their origin is similar, for
both due to the presence of certain in
fectious organisms, and the human being is
the means of infection-through the medium

and then have written little pieces for their
papers, even journalistic human nature
having it's weaknesses. AS for me, gave
two entire days to running down the re-
ports of prospective military requirements
in the several branches of service above
mentioned.
Briefly, there is still q chance for elderly
gentlemen-that is to say, men above the
present draft age. Brigadier generals,
major generals, lieutenant generals and
generals are rot in active demand. Colo
nels are more or less drug in the
ket But there is evidence of coming
need OF first and second lieutenants, cap
tains, even majors. Without more subal-
terms officers who have earned higher rank
are kept waiting for their commissions.
But if you really want a comm ssion Oh
man of forty-six, first make sure with the
advice of your family physician that you
are physically fit, and then don't aim too
high. Be modest, for there may be plenty
of fellows possessing your qualifications
and your patriotic aspirations, and there's
a limit to commissioned personnel, even in
an army of 100000. And stand or fall on
your merits; don't try to use a political
pull. There's general order out against the

T>he Protection That a Healthy
4 Body Affords

I'VE have 'at our command even q more
important means of rejection against dis
ease, and that is the maintenance of
healthy condition of the body. Abundant
proof has been presented that those affected
with certain infectious diseases have usually
a low resisting power as the result of some
form Of disability, excuses of various kinds
or disregard of the rules Of personal
hygiene. While it is true that those in
robust health do not always escape these
diseases, it is largely the protectiou af-
forded by the resistance of healthy organs
and tissues upon which we must depend for
maintenance of health. The study of car
riers' of disease largely confirms this state
ment, for it is found that infectious or
ganisms may remain for an Indefinite period
within the body-particular of a healthy
person in a dormant or inactive state
without producing evidence of their pres
ence; therefore, large part of the popu-
lation is acting IS the hosts of these germs.
This is particularly true of tuberculosis,
typhoid fever and diphthera, and is also
quite true of Influenza. 1t means that
healthy tissues go far to prevent the ac-
tivity ct these organisms.
There are causes which contribute more
directly 10 lHuenZa or COldS, such
proper clothing, undue exposure, particular
ly during abrupt changes of weather in the
winter time. Probably nothing acts moro
quickly a contributing cause than wet
feet. large per cent of those who suffer
from these affections give definite history
of undue exposure. 1t is common prac-
tice during cold weather for persons dressed
i'll heavy garments to remain within doors
for large part of the day in superheatcd
rooms, where the temperature frequently
reaches so degrees or more, often badly
ventilated. This is quite sure to render the
body less resisting and surely not in con-
dition to withstand a sudden change to an
outside temperature where the thermometer
registers reduction Of 40 or SO degrees
This is an offence to nature which carries
with it its own penalty.
GAS influenza in some form constantly
exists throughout the civilized world it is
hardly necessary to state that maritime
quarantine as means of protection against
this disease is not justiiablc"

1.-TWO Grades-Ordinary

THE white crystals which have formed
in the settling tanks are removed by hand
and when dried in the sun on drying floors
are shipped in two-quintal sacks Ia quintal
equals 1912 lbs.) to the various coast ports
over narrow gauge or sometimes gravity

the buyer alongside of the ship by means of
lighters. 1t is classified in two grades, the
ordinary or 95 per cent and the refined or
