enroll $4,000 young women as a stu

1850 must be enlisted in Iowa.
The training will be given in mill
tary hospitals or city hospitals, and
will take three years to complete.
At the end of that time the nurses
will become members of the regular
army nurses corps.
Those who wish to enter the re-
serves must be from 10 to 80 years

A vagrant tribe of the descendants
Of the Doms of Europe, travelling in

this was refused and the band was

A definite policy has been adhered
to by Mr.. Long in granting licenses
for travelling carnivals. tent shows,
and various kinds of street entertain

Ii Bill Before Congress Making Draft
Ages Is to Is is Passed, More
Than 275,OOO IOWans Will
be Added.
FIGURES MAY CHANGE SLIGHTLY
Totals As Figured From Census
Figures Give What are Approx.
mate Results.

Figures of the 1915 Iowa census in
dictate that over 275,OOO Iowans will be
included in the next draft registratiO l,
if congress accepts Secretary Bakers
recommendation announced Saturday
to lower the draft age to IS years, and
raise the upper limit to As.
This is little short OF one-third more
than the total registration in Iowa, in
1917. The big draft registration il,
this state recorded 216,299 names.
In 1915 there were 69,032 men il
Iowa between the ages of IS and 20,
inclusive. At the same time there
were 44O,3S9 Iowans between the ages
of 81 and As inclusive
These figures probably have chang
ed but slightly in total in the ensuing
three years. If they approximately
represent present conditions, there
will be about $4,000 men above go
years old, who must register under the
proposed new order. This is the diff
ference between the total Of 81 to As,
and those who registered in 1917.
Adding $4,000, representing those
below 81, who must register, the total
becomes $4,000.
This estimate does not take into ac-
count those who have become more
than 81 since 1917 These, of course,
would not be required to register
twice.

A. j. Leonard Buys Into Commission
Business and the Family Will
Later Move.

A. J. Leonard of this city, for six
teen years well known stock buyer
here and former partner of Harry NJ
Carson in the firm Of Leonard & Car
son, has engaged in partnership with
Frank j. O'Shea of Sioux City, who
operates a commission business there.
Mr.. Leonard left for Sioux City this
morning to remain permanently. His
family will join him later.
The new firm will continue the bust
ness already built up as dealers in
stockers and feeders and engage in a
general commission trade. Their Off
ces are located in the stock yards and
are easily accessible to 10th buyers
and sellers.
Mr.. Leonard has been in the stock

sold and shipped stock to the Chicago
markets from Woodstock. Mr.. Leonard
has had large experience in both buy

firm of Leonard & Carson in the Chi

will prove a valuable addition to his
new firm.
Mrs. Leonard and children will re-

Webster City's =. first Red Cross
nurse to receive call for overseas
service is Miss Nellie Horn, daugh-
ter of Mrs. John Horn.
A special delivery letter, written
from Camp Custer, Mich, and receiv-
ed by her mother here Saturday, stat
ed that the call had come and she,
in company with thirty-one other
nurses, would leave Tor New York
within a few days. The party expects
to remain there for about two weeks
before sailing for France.
Is Graduate Nurse.
Miss Horn is first last and all the
time a Webster City girl, being the
daughter of old-time residents here.
She received her preliminary educa-
ton in this city and her nurses
training in the Lutheran hospital at
Sioux City where she graduated a
little more than a year ago. The
great need of nurses for war service
was apparent then and almost i'm
mediately Miss Horn affiliated with
the Red Cross. She has been station
ed at Camp Custer, Mich, since early
in January.
No higher profession can be found
than that of the Red Cross nurse and
no fuller measure of devotion can be
shown than that of answering the inn
,erative call to nurse back to health
and strength the soldiers who offer
their lives for the winning of this
world war for the rights Of men,
women and nations to live their own
lives and determine their own fort
