LEE QUOTA
is LARGE ONE
ONLY Two Others In State Send as
Many Men TO Complete
Their First
Quota.

The number Of men to be drawn
from this district as the remaining
number to make up the balance OF the
first draft and which will leave for the
camp about February %, has been
changed slightly through an announce
ment from Des Moines, according to
the Fl. Madison Democrat. The num-
Der required to fill the quota here Is
placed at 124. It was believed here
that the number to be drawn would be
about 11s-
This change win result IN the call
fnr Of an additional six men for serv-
ice. II IL expected that the local
board will have to select new order
numbers in excess of 900 to make up
the next Increment.
It is then believed that those hold
ing order numbers between 1000 and
1000 will be drawn upon for the sec
ond draft. Those above that number
will not be selected for some time, at
least until another draft is called.
The quotas of the second draft will
be based on the number Of men avail
able for service. It is expected that
the number will reach about 900 here
and that about one-third Of that num-
Der will be taken in the second draft.
It also develops that there are but
two other counties in the state which
will send a large number in the last
increment of the first draft than Lee.
These counties are Dubuque and Des
Moines.

at looks like Keokuk has formed
the habit of giving up money for the
war with the greatest ease ana pat
riotism-,but is so lazy, she wants
somebody to come around after II,
remarked today John A. Dunlap, chair
man of the aInileage campaign IN
Keokuk.
1T has been decisively proved that
men and women can go out SOLICIT
ing and get all kinds of money IN
Keokuk for any worthy war or SOL

"as in the Red Cross, the Red Irt-
angle, the Liberty loan and other
financial campaigns.

undertook to get even one thousand

If Keokuk turns up away short OF
her small allotment, It will be the
fault of the Keokuk people and not
mine, nor The Gate City's, for GER
tainly they've been told enough about
it for over a week. And If Keokuk is
behind her allotment, I'll bet Hooy-
erised slice of bread that she's the
only town In Iowa to fall behind.
IT see in the paper that the state
of Minnesota, which has as many
men at Camp Dodge as Iowa has. sold

follows:
Sixty Years Ago Today
Dear friends, it's sixty years ago today
You crossed the threshold of your
married life,
A mutual exchange each gave self
away,
The one a husband gained-and one
wife.
Loving and faithful. was the solemn
vow
And covenant that bound your flu
ture then;
Loving and faithful is the record now,
And what you promised to be, you
have been.
1t was faiths venture on an untried
sea.
But, oh, it was not all experiment:
Love triumphed in its sweet captivity,
Captive and capior were alike

A varied picture then your fancy threw
Across the pathway of your coming
days;
You are now like those behind the
scenes and view
Realities the retrospect displays.
The one was like the odor OF the
flowers
From distant islands, borne upon the
breeze;
But now, it's fruitage gathered mid
the bowers
From which that perfume came
across the seas.
Tho time has sundered many former
ties,
And traced some lines of care upon
brow,
Your fondest hopes you more than
realize
In son and wife with whom you're
living now.
May former blessings be but the
prelude
OF greater blessings as your years
increase,
And when from LIES remotest bound.

May retrospect and prospect yield
you peace.

FOR DRY NATION
Also Urge That Farmers Plant
the Greatest Wheat Acreage
Ever Known This Fall

The legislative and executive COM
mittees of the Pennsylvania State
Grange, in session at Tyrone yester-
day, sent the following telegram to
the agricultural committee of the
United States Senate, which is hear
ing witnesses on the proposed prohi-
bition amendment to the food produc-
tion bill:
The Pennsylvania state Grange.
representing membership of $4,000.
through its legislative and executive
committees, in session here to-day.
earnestly opposes the further vast
age of grain, sugar, coal. transporta-
tion and manpower in the making
OF Intoxicating liquors. The farmers
are working from dawn to dark to
produce food. and are Offering no
ultimatums; but we know that the
present situation is interfering with
both production and conservation OF
foodstuffs."
1t was also decided to send out the
following appeal to the farmers of
Pennsylvania: I'VE appeal to the
grange membership and the farmers
generally throughout the state to put
forth every effort next fall to increase
the acreage seeded to winter grain.
To do this will not only place Penn
sylvania again in the list of leading
grain producing states, but 1t should
not be overlooked that our close
proximity to ready markets and the
greatly added military value to
every ton of foodstuffs produced here
will be much more as compared with
the production of more distant states.
