Des Moines. Jan. 2S.-Calls to the
colors have depleted the ranks OF
Iowa's male school teachers and &C.
cording to John f. Foster. state in
spector Of secondary schools, 1t Is i'm
possible to meet all demands for teach
ers.
Calls are being made Of this depart
ment," said Foster, frequently by
school boards who want teachers to re-
place men who have enlisted In the
service or who intend to enter the
service. Because Of the large num-
bers who are entering the service
there has been brought about in Iowa
a shortage of teachers and shortage
which is growing greater day by day.
There is little relief in sight and 1t will
be impossible to obtain enough before
the close Of tho war;"
According to Foster, the branch OF
the school system WI ich will feel the
effects of the shortage most will be the
manual training departments. He said
that in many pla, es in Iowa the jan'-
tors were being pressed into service

It Is estimated by the secondary
school inspector that the percentage OF
male teachers in Iowa schools has de.

NUMEROUS cAkNpArEs COMING

Des Moines. Jan. 2S.'-Consideraole
interest now attaches In the republican
nomination for secretary Of state. Thus
far two candidates have announced
w. C. Ramsay, Of Belmond, clerk 81
the house of representatives in the past
two general assemblies and C. c. Pugh,
Of Des 'Moines.
There is more or less speculation as
to whether or not the present incum-
ment, w. s.. Allen, now serving a third
term, will follow his inclinations ana
announce his candidacy for fourth
term. It Is unusual for a state official
to ask for fourth term and the Sec
rotary Of state has made no formal an
nouncement that he would be candi-
date. Nevertheless it is, thought from
his attitude that he may possibly make
another try for his position.
Allen graduated from three terms In
the house Of representatives and two
In the senate from Jefferson county
into candidate for secretary Of state
in 1912. His opponent for the republican
nomination was Edward C. Chassell
former state binder and member of the
LEGISLATURE. There was considerable
surprise when the votes were counted
In. the primary and It was discovered
that Allen had won out over Chassell
as 1t was generally predicted that be-
cause Of his personal popularity Chas-
sell would win out.
Allen q Political Accident.
Aliens first election IL explained by
many OF his opponents to have been
due to confusion Of his name with
that Of Senator Joe Allen, Of Poca-
hontas county, who had been especially
active in the legislature and was gen
orally known. altho not personally
known, 'thruout the state. His oppo-
nents also declared that the fortunes
of the primary which placed Aliens
name at the top Of the alphabetical list
Of names was also a strong factor in
his vote. In each Of the two subse-
quent primaries and elections Allen
polled good vote.
It is not possible that Aven could
win fourth term as secretary OF state
If he should decide to chance another
try at 1t. However. he may conclude
to run. figuring he has nothing to lose
in making the race and that he could
therefore afford to take another chance.
Both Ramsay and Pugh are actively
promoting their candidates.. RAMSAY
has the backing Of the political lead
ers in his home districts.

RED CROSS NURSE

Miss Edith M. Benn, of the
City Hospital, New York, grad
uate nurse and representative
of the American Red Cross,
will be at the Chautauqua on
the third day. In the morning
there will be a series of dem
onstrations and explanations of
the work of the American Red
Cross especially along the lines
of home nursing, helping the
doctor, first aid, etc. Special
attention will be given to the
prevention of disease as a pa
triotic duty.
In the afternoon Miss Benn
will lecture again, at which
time she will tell 1.-The story of
the Red Cross in Peace and
War This will not be repe-
tition of the horros of the great
war in which we are now en-
gagged, nor will it be an eff
fort to raise money for the
Red Cross. It will be devoted
to getting the facts concerning
this great organization before
the public so they will have
better idea of its magnitude,
and so that they will be better
prepared to respond when the
calls do come for assistance.
Miss Benn comes to the
Chautauqua to give the author
lied message of the American
Red Cross, and therefore de-
sires to meet as many of those
locally interested in this great
work as is possible. Everyone
is urged to attend the Chautau-
qua, thereby getting the full
benefit of the programs sent
us from Washington, D. C. by
the Radcliffe Chautauqua Sys-
tenn.
