All patrons of the steam heating
system will take notice there will be
an advance in the cost and charge
for heat service for the ensuing sea-
son.
This company will continue to fur
nish efficient heat service to it's pa
irons as heretofore, but on account
of increased cost of every item and
article entering into the operation
and maintenance of the plant heat
cannot be furnished at rates hereto
fore given. This company will deter
mine as nearly as practicable the
cost of operating, add reasonable
amount for interest on investment,
maintenance and depreciation and
thus arrive at the charge to be made.
IL is estimated this charge will he
at least so per cent more than the
rate of last summer.
This notice is given so that any
former or prospective patron who
does not and cannot pay such rate
will have ample time to make other
provisions.

New College Army Students to Get
,Private's Pay and Uniforms


sPrivate's Pay and Uniforms
President Wilson has been asked
by DR.. j. H. I. Main, president of
Grinnell college and director for Ia,
of the Students War Service cam
paign, to issue proclamation setting
aside general recruiting day early
in September, at which time students
will be recruited in Iowa for the new
college army.
1t is probable that either Septem-
Der first or September eighth will be
designated as recruiting day.
Arrangements are under way, un-
der the direction of the campaign
committee, to have the last week in
August as Educational week. Present
plans are to have speakers in every
county of the state and to enlist the
assistance of ministers and state or
CARNATIONS in the big Go-To- College
drive.
| During educational week every eff
fort will be made to get posters, and
speakers and information and letters
into every corner of the state. An at
tempt to have every young man of
college age, personally solicitated to
enter college this fall and help meet
the governments quota of 1000
young men for the Iowa college army,
will ba 1,ndart aiken
Indications are that the college
army will go we'll over the quota. The
Campaign headquarters of the Iowa
campaign committee in the state cap
itol, Des Moines, have been besieged
by young men of college age anxious
to get into so promising a service,
and actuated by the patriotic motive
of wanting to serve Uncle Sam where
he needs them most.
High school graduates who have
engineering and medical courses in
mind have been attracted to the col
lege army service.
It is the present plan of the war
department to keep students in col
Ilege until their courses are complet-
ed. However students so enlisted are
likewise enlisted in the American
army and are subject to the call of
the president upon twenty-four hours
notice if necessary.
Uniforms and equipment will be
furpishad the COLLAGE soldier nv the
government, and for six weeks dur
\ ing the summer while h etakes in
tensive training at an army camp, he
will receive private's pay.
Stress is being placed upon the i'm
J, portance of early enlistment since
the lowering of the age of liability
may make it difficult for men of the
new ages not already enlisted to en-
ter service otherwise than tru then
draft board.

German Influence Censors
Big American Play

When the German Kaiser marched
his forces on Belgium soil, which was
a neutral nation, in order to get at
the throat of France before she COULD
wake from the sleep of peace, those
who knew international law stood as
founded by the Kaiser's ruthless am
bition, for they knew he had disre-
ga,ded all of his precious agree
nlents.
Y hen the Kaiser's forces trampled
Eelglum liberties under their feet. al
30 burned their homes, assaulted her
wa.,.en murdered her children and
left others to starve, the world re-
fused to believe the German people
could be guilty of such crimes.
Even after the sinking of the Lusi-
tania, many Americans, on account
of the friendly disposition of the
German people they knew in this
country, refused to believe the Ger
man Government would commit such
an act without reason.
AS the German Kaiser had no re-
gard for his word, he did not hesitate
to make an agreement with the AM
erican Government to abandon SUBJ
marine warfare until he could build
submarines, in what he thought suf-
ficent numbers to conquer the world
But as an act of God prevented Ma
poleon from winning the Battle OF
Waterloo, so the American people
stepped into the fight in time to pre-
vent the Kaiser from conquering the
world.
Knowing the history of the Imper.
ial German Government, Thomas
Dixon saw the handwriting on the
wall the day he heard of Belgium be.
