There are 1873 nurses training
schools in this country. Their needs
are as great and imperative as those
of the Army School of Nursing and
those who enroll for these schools will
be assigned as vancancies occur. The
enrolment cards indicate two classes
of neutrality-suspicious. and deferred.
The preferred class will be those who
are ready to accept assignment to
whatever hospital the government di-
reefs them, although they may state
what training school they prefer to be
sent to. Those who register in the
preferred class will be assigned first,
and all possible consideration will be
given to their preference as stated.
The deferred class is composed of
those who limit their pledge of serv-
ice, those who will not engage to so
except to certain hospitals This class
is intended largely for those who can

Levi Chesterfield Kelley, was aged
% years. months and 81 days. his
death being due to Spanish influenza
followed by pneumonia. He was porn
near Hopkinsville, KY, Feby., 20, 1896,
coming with his parents to Carthage
ON January 16, 1908, and the followed
March they moved to farm near
Webster, where the parents now live,
and which has since been his home.
At the age OF II years, he united with
the Baptist church Of this city, and
the first golden star has been placed
on the service flag in his memory.
On June 5, 1917. he registered for
army service, and on Sept. 5, 1913, was
sent with a contingent to Camp For
est, Lytle, Ga. Great sorrow and pity
was felt for this dear boy at the time
he answered his call. for it was found
that not a friend from near his home
was being sent to the same camp, but
he met his fate bravely, and though
often weary in body and sick at heart,
no doubt, he wrote CHEEKY letters
home, and only few short hours
prior to his death letters and cards
were received by his friends and loved
ones, which prove that his illness was
of short duration. Only once was there
any complaint. and this that The had
a severe cold and had just been taking
hike and that his feet were sore.
End he was feeling bad" hence when
telegram came to his father stating
that he was dangerously i'll, which was
followed in few hours by another
announcing his death, it is little Won
der that loved ones were almost
crushed by the blow.

GAS PRESSURE
is NOW GOOD
Sufficient for the Needs Of Users and
Needs Only to Be Kept Con-
stantiy at Good
FIGURE

The gas pressure in Keokuk has
been good for the last several days,
and it is demonstrated that the gas
company has the plant and apparatus
to maintain a pressure sufficient for
the needs of users.
Previously it was very bad at
times, but when the damage resulting
to commercial users and the irrita,
ton of housekeepers had reached
nearly the breaking point, there was
a change for the better.
If the management will maintain
the conditions under which the plant
has been operated for the last few
days, there will be no justifiable COM
plant on the score of pressure, those
most interested say.

There seems to be an epidemic OF
failure to remove the hats of the men
on the sidewalks when flag passes,

dier with the body covered with the
stars and stripes.
In Burlington the other day, the
sergeant in command of the soldier

with the procession and see that
every man took off his hat as the
flag passed.
There has been much criticism of
