LIBERTY LOAN RETURNS.
Iowa County Takes Over ITS Per Cent
of its Minimum Allotment.

| From reports received from loca
chairmen at the office of Thomas M
Priestley, county chairman for tn,
Third Liberty Loan in Iowa county. il
appears that the county has subscribed
1914, 220 of bonds of the Third Liberty
Loan.
The minimum allotment for the coun-
ty was S543, 600. The heavy over-sub-
scription brings Iowa county's average
for war subscriptions to a high point,
Every town, city and village in the
county went "over the top" for more
than its maximum allotment. The tot
al number of subscribers in the county
is nearly 5000.
The slogan of the campaign was
''Your Share is Fair" and the system
of individual allotment was most favor
ably received all over the county. The
number who failed to take their full al
lotment is negligible. 1t is reasonable
to expect that when the full returns are
in that the county will come close to
the 81 900, 900 mark.
Returns received up to the evening of
May 9th are as follows:

OUR CITY GETS BLACK EYE.

People residing outside our city who
own automobiles are known to be in a
hesitating mood about coming to our
city with their autos if they have to
leave them unprotected for a time, no
matter how short. The reason for this
is, machines have been stripped of
tires, cushions, tool boxes, etc, when
left unguarded on our streets. This
gives our city black eye, and it be-
hooves merchants and all honor loving
citizens to take united action to stamp
out the evil. Our citizens should be so
organized as to guarantee protection
to person and property of everyone of
responsibility entering herein.
An arrest for tire stealing was made
last week and, upon pleading guilty.
the party experienced deep chagrin and
a ''fortover" of $50 and expenses to
keep from being placed behind the bars

LUxBURG WAS BUSY

Great Wireless Station Was
Built as Result of His
Activity.

Buenos Aires.--(by mail.)-The de-

station at Nauen.
The day after Luxburg was given his
passports his station was dismantled
by the Argentina government, which
withdrew the temporary concession
under which 1t was operating. Great
secrecy surrounded this station.
Early last year the Argentina gov
eminent issued a temporary concession
to enable a German syndicate to con

would merely attempt to receive the
Nauen dispatches and would not be
used for the transmission Of messages.
It later became known that the station
was sending as well as receiving.
Some time before the Luxburg scan

q representative at the station to keep

station was operating despite h pres

the station and to remain there to see
that 1t was not reconstructed.

proximity OF the front lines.
On the walls were French lithographs
mostly religious. One showed friends
and relatives gathered around the
cradle OF a new born child Of Lorraine.
Underneath was the inscription. "He
shall be French" A goodly number Of
old style portraits were hanging over
the bright colored wall paper. On the

Since correspondents were visitors,

Socialists Not of Today
From the New York telegraph

From the New York Telegraph.
Truly, the socialists do not deal with the things that are. The
other day a crowd of these talkative persons got together in what
they called a state convention and nominated candidates for state
offices: Their platform, if one can call q lot of bombastic phrases
o platform, dealt not with the present war but with what will come
after the fighting. Socialists evidently always are thinking Of jobs,
and one plank Of the platform favored six hours work each day.
This in face Of the fact that the nation is at war and offering large
wages to men who will work double time. Evidently the socialists do
not care whether Uncle Sam builds ships and manufactures shells
for the destruction Of the Huns or not.
Two other platform planks demand that the state furnish employ
ment for men who are out Of jobs after the war and also provides for
widows and orphans Of soldiers. This latter is merely sounding brass,
for already has the country made provision for the care of war widows
and orphans. 1t did this nearly SO years ago.
The socialists, however, were strangely silent about the war, and
apparently more concerned over the welfare Of those I. W.. WI. now
on trial in Chicago than they were over that Of the troops at the front.
There are q few things socialists should do: Battle freely, become
patriotic, not talk SO much, cease to pose as thinkers, and acquire,
when possible, what is generally known as ordinary common sense.
