Many Counties Over the State are
Ordered to Make u Revision of
the Classification of
Registrars.
CLASS 1 WAS BELOW AVERAGE
In Hamilton County, However, Glass l
Was Sufficiently Large, Being 30
Per Cent.

In most counties in Iowa a "class
week" is to be observed this month,
during which time the draft classes
of selectmen are to be revised to the
end that class 1 may be increased.
Hamilton county, however, thanks to
her board, will not have to hold week
Of this sort for there were 80 per cent
Of the registrants in this county who
had been put in class l.
In some districts in the state class
/ was less than Is per cent Of the total
registration. In all these counties
and in all others where class was
composed of Is per cent or less, the
government will send agents to make
a Redistribution. Provost Marshal
General Crowder and Adjutant General
Logan are carrying on this work and
are insistent that all counties in Iowa
shall come up to their quota.
1t is a matter for congratulation
that the board in Hamilton county did
it's duty from the outset and that no
revision Of their work will be called
for.

purpose of extending the scope OF
the bureau over. the county. Among
these were the creation of three very
important committees.
TO Test Recipes.
Among the movements which Miss
Watkins recommended, was the ap-
pointment of an experimental COM
mittee. This committee will test out
the various food conservation recipes
and eliminate those which no not
prove satisfactory, thereby improving
the Hoover Hint" column of this
paper and giving local women the as
surance that all recipes given out by
the home. demonstration bureau are
absolutely reliable. The committee
includes three we'll known cooks
Mrs. Robert r. Downs, Highview,
Mrs. F. A. Huddlestun, Webster City,
and Mrs. James White, residing south
of the city.
Other Committees.
Other committees appointed, but
not ready for publication, will be a
committee to provide facilities for
the distribution of surplus garden
and farm products, and an industrial
committee which will secure help for
farm women. Another movement was
inaugurated which will be of great
benefit in protecting the organization
work Of the home bureau, by the Sc
lection Of an assistant director in
each township Of the county work.
Ing in cooperation with the director.
This will better provide working un-

couraged in the way the women Of

School Donation of $1S6.

Miss Zeta Holt of Jewell is greatly
interested in Red Cross service, AND
as she is a school teacher near that
place, her interest crystalized in the
giving of an excellent little play at
her country school house. In addi-
ton she and her pupils served lunch
to the patrons and $136 was taken in
during the single evening.
The entertainments was so good
that she was urged to give it in the
Jewell theatre, which was done a
few evenings ago and SOL made on
the venture. However, there was
considerable expense attached, and
the profits were not large, but alto
gether Miss Holt was able to turn
over to the Red Cross $1S6, which
is a splendid offering for one young
woman to make.

RichardSOn.Burns.

A simple ceremony at the home of
Dr.. and Mrs. E. E. Richardson at $3.50
o'clock yesterday afternoon gave in
marriage their only daughter, Miss
Muriel, to Robert Burns, son of Mr..
and Mrs. j. c. Burns, ST., of Ames,
and a member of the 163d Depot
Brigade Band at Camp Dodge, the
brides pastor, Rev. l.. E. Viets, of the
Baptist church, reading the vows.
With the living rooms of the home
fragrant and gay with roses and mock
orange blossoms and surrounded by
the home groups, as we'll as the most
intimate friends Of the bride and
groom, the great world war seemed
far removed. But this more than any
other wedding solemnized in the city
bore the mark of the military. Having
served with the national guard units
during the Mexican trouble and since
Americas entrance in the European
conflict, the groom appeared every
inch soldier. DR.. Richardson, him
self, called for service in an American
medical corps, leaves Wednesday for a
far western camp. Sergeant Harry
Baisden of Camp Dodge played for the
assembled guests as the couple took
their places and the holy words of the
service were read.
Wholly informal congratulations
and gayest of good wishes were show
cred upon the newly-weds and the
guests departed leaving the home
group to other farewells. Mr.. Burns
furlough from camp extends over to-
day, but he is seeking to have it ex-
tended to Wednesday that he may see
the doctor Off. Mrs. Burns will remain
with her mother during her fathers
absence and her husbands period of
military service.
The bride is one of Webster City's
most popular and charming girls of
the younger set: She was a member
of the 1918 graduating class of Lincoln
high school, taking an active part in
all school affairs, and endearing her
self to both facualty and classmates.
Mr.. Burns is also we'll known to
local people, having been stationed
here with the band last summer, and
by frequent visits here with his
brother, ]. c. Burns, Jr., and family.
He has the respect and admiration Of
all those who know him.
Mr.. and Mrs. J. c. Burns, Sr., of
Ames, Harry Baisden of Camp Dodge
and several other Of the groom's SOL
der friends made up the guests from
out of the city.
