the soldier to send money home. All

he desires the money sent. The Y.

sour soldiers are thinking straight
about money matters. They are not
misers, by any means, and they are
willing to spend a small amount on

is to insure their economic indie

they return to civilian life.

to billet No. 7S for quarters and "a.

! It was about eight o'clock at night
and I was tired and soon fell asleep in
the straw Of the billet. It was a mis-
cradle night outside, cold, and a drizzly
rain was falling.
About two in the. morning I was
awakened by some one shaking me by
the shoulder. Opening nay, eyes 1asaW
a sregimental sergeant major bending
over me. He had<a. lighted lantern In
his right hand. I started to ask him
what was the matter, when he put his
finger to his lips for silence and Whis-
pered: rs -"
"Get on your equipment, and, with
out any noise; come with me-"
/ This greatly mystifed me, but !
obeyed his order.
Outside Of the billet, I asked him
what was up, but he shut me up with:

We splashed along a muddy road for
about fifteen minutes, finally stopping
at the entrance Of what must have
been an old barn. In the darkness, I
could hear pigs grunting, as if they
had Just been disturbed. In front Of
I the door stood an officer in a mack
(mackintosh). The r. S. NJ. went up
to him, whispered something, and then
left. This officer called to me, asked
my name, number and regiment, at the
same time, in the hight Of q lantern he
was holding, making q notation In a
little book.
When he had finished writing, he
whispered: .
"Go into that billet and wait orders,
and no talking. Understand"
I stumbled into the barn and sat on
the floor in the darkness. I could see
no one, but could hear men breathing
and moving; they seemed nervous and
trestless. I know I was.
T During my wait, three other men
entered. Then the officer poked his
head in the door and ordered:
"Fall in, outside the billet, in single
rank" &c.,
We fell in, standing at ease. Then
he commanded:
"Squad-'Shun! Number"

They marched ten kilos, full pack,
to a little dilapidated village, and the
sound Of the guns grew louder, CON
stantly louder.
The village was full Of soldiers who
turned out to inspect the new draft,
the men who were shortly to be their
mates In the trenches, for they were
going "up the line" on the morrow, to
"take over" their certain sector OF
trenches.
The draft was paraded in front of
battalion headquarters and the men
were assigned to companies.
Lloyd was the only man assigned to
D company. Perhaps the officer In
charge of the draft had something to
do with it, for he called Lloyd aside
and said:

The candidates for directors are w. s.
Hull, Vice President Roy R. Bradbury,
of the Fidelity Savings Bank, and Mrs.
Fred c., Nichols. Cashier Harry w,
Jennings, Of the Marshalltown State
Bank is candidate for treasurer. Terms
of directors are three years and for
treasurer two years.
Mr.. Hull is candidate to succeed
himself. having served one term. Mr..
adbury is a candidate to succeed
A. +. Balch, who has served two terms
and would not run again. Mrs, Nichols
also is q candidate for this vacancy,
there being only two directors to elect.
Mr. Jennings is a candidate to succeed
George L. Owings, present treasurer

group of women who are interested in
having their sex represented on the

vacancy caused by the resignation.
Want Usual Tax Levy.
The ballots for the school election
will contain the proposal for the auth
ority to levy the usual sum asked for
this purpose each year.
The SO, 900 which the school board is
asking the voters to authorize Tor
school house purposes will not come IN
or be collectible until next year, ana
is wanted ~ provide a fund from
which to acquire additional SrounGG
which will soon be needed, as the board
can see that another ward building
must be built within a very few years,
at least. and it would be unWlse to
load the tax levy of any one year with
large sum when the necessary funds
could be accumulated over a period
of years. This amount would require
approximately mills. The board has
power by law to reQuisition money for
payment of bonds or bond interest, and
this it will do anyway, but it wants
permission to adopt forehanded,
businesslike policy of collecting a small
sum each year for extension of school
grounds and buildings when needed
and thus obviate tax loading Of four
or five times that amount in some one
year in the near future.
