Cedar. Rapids. Nov. "A pathetic
mystery came into Cedar Rapids Tues
day when a soldier on clutches wan
dered into the Pullman hotel between
9 and 3 O'CLOCK. He seemed to be un-
certain as TO what he wanted to do
and finally upon questioning him the
clerk decided that the young man was
sick or mentally unbalanced. He was
asked his name and where he lived,
but the reply was that he did not
know his name and he seemed to be
in fear that someone was going to in
jure him. After futile attempts to dis
cover his identity a police officer was
called and he was taken 10 the station.
He was in weakened condition and
moaned as II in pain. A thorough en-
animation of his clothes and contents
Of his pockets-was made at. the sta
ton, but nothing very enlightenins
was found. On the inside Of his coat
was found the name of William Dvo-

There was also the unmounted picture
Of young woman. Under these pho-
tographs was a small tin type Of the
same man and woman taken probably
in the early seventies. There were
two kodak pictures of two young girls,
one of them the same as the larger
picture of the young woman first men
toned. The kit contained an army
and navy testament and psalms but
no name could be found among any OF
these pocket belongings. A black
leather covered, loose leaf notebook
which contained a few notes on daily
drill and some scattered lines of po-
.etry appeared in the sad collection.
The lines of verse were without much
connection, but reference was made to
Bryants "Sella"
The police tried again and again to
find some word or name that woui!
connect the tangled line Of the youns
mans consciousness to his present
surroundings, but without success. Ono

covers i25,000, 900 people.
wOur first and deepest concern now
must be for the little allies who were
under the German yoke-they are the
Belgians, Serbians. Roumanians,
Greeks, Czechs, Jugoslavs and others.
There are some 75.oOS.o0o people In
these groups and they must be
systematically helped and at once. We
have already doubled the stream Of
food flowing toward Belgium.
"Our next concern must be to relax
blockade measures as far as possible
in order that the neutral states IN
Europe which are now fall on snort

their people and prevent the growth
of anarchy. This Is another group Of
about 40.000,000.
Another problem lies In the 80, )00.-

part Of whom are inaccessible owing to
the breakdown Of transportation and

James David Craig died June 3,
I1918. He was about 10 years old,
He moved to Upton county. when only
small boy, from Maury county,
Tennessee.
At the age Of IL ne joined the
Methodist church. He loved his
church. and lived a consistent Chris
tian life until the end
Early in manhood he was elected
to membership in this (Tipton) lodge,
.F. & A. NJ, and was a great lover
of the principles of Masonry, having
filled with credit every station, sew
eral times elected Master of the lodge.
He was active in the work and faith
full in attendance.
A good citizen, he always made his
influence felt for the betterment of
the community, had a jolly, cheerful
and bore his affections
with much patience and fortitude.
His whole life was an inspiration,
to those who knew him best, to high
thoughts and noble living.

That we greatly deplore the loss
that we have sustained in this dis
pensation Of providence.

And account the things that we have
done,

Upton COUNTY DID IN
THE BIG WAR SAVINGS DRIVE

We are not yet able TO announce
that Upton county he's gone lover the
top" in the war savings drive, but
we believe we will do so when the
'follow-up work is completed Dis
.tricts 2, 3, 5, 9 and u are still be-
hind with their quotas. This organ
ization is very anxious that no Stacker
list should go in from Upton county,
and we are therefore asking the gov
eminent for a few more days time
before sending in the final report.
July 4 was the last day for our re-
port, but we feel justified in asking
time in which our people may be al
lowed to reconsider and do their full
duty. Three out of the five districts
that are yet behind with their quotas
are composed almost exclusively of
white people, and we think they will
want these districts to show up as
well as other portions of the county.
We think it is haAly right for the
people Of ore neighborhood, who are
in easy circumstances, to fail to take
heir allotments when people of the I
same or even poorer circumstances in /
another neighborhood in the same dis
riot take all that is assigned to them. |
The treasury department at Wash
ngton will not be satisfied with this, T
and we can only refer it to them if
We fail in the follow-up work In
he districts that did come up with
heir quotas there are individuals who
lave not yet made their subscriptions
r did not take an adeQtN1e amount.
These, too, will be included in the
ollow-up work, and will be reported r
s slackers in case they do not do
heir duty. The government sees no
eason why people should hesitate
0 purchase securities on which they
an secure a refund Of the money in
0 days if they so desire. The kaiser
as announced that he will expect

Mould we hesitate? 1t is either pay c
