The Military Dispatch Riders or
g0nizotion has been developed by the
| American eXpeditonary forces In
France as an additional method for
transmitting communi ations. 1t is
picturesque, and has served to knit the
army more closely together by the act
ual physical transmission of official or
ders and communications
The riders, successors to the old type
Of army cOuriers and brothers in spirit
Of the pony express riders of the West
ern plains, are intrusted with the work
Of keeping the corps in touch with
the divisions, the divisions with the
brigade, and the brigade with the reg-
mcnt for detailed orders, letters and
important packages of papers that can
not be transmitted promptly and safe
ly in other ways.
Mounted on motorcycles and burden
ed with only pouch or knapsacli in
which the papers are carried, the mil
itary riders cover distances of 100
miles in three hours over the smooth
French roads. Each rider is chosen
carefully for his eypertness in driving
a motorcycle, his ability to repair his
machine under all conditions and his
coOlheadedneSs and resourcefulness in
emergencies, as his route may. take
him over shell-swept roads and the
| darkness Of night may bring him near
the enemy positions. The messages
he carries must be delivered, and dis
tance. weather conditions, Shelfre or
enemy raids must not stay him in the
completion Of his scheduled rounds.
Many of the riders work in pairs,
so that when route Is arranged be-
two towns at distance Of $50 miles
or threuhouts, quarters can be estab-
lishcd for both at each town and each
rider alteruates In occupying the
quarters that the daily schedule may
be maintained A complete network
of dispatch riders covers the entire
military organization of the American
expeditIonary forces, and is at high
point in its motorimtion. II IS strict.
ly product Of American readiness
and quickness in adopting all means
that will help the army to act as
fast as 1t thinks.

A Story by Judge Wade.

One of the most effective allies of
the kaiser in America is the grumb-
Ter in the opinion of Judge Wade.
You all know the fellow who de-
jectedly declares that with the Red
Cross, the Army Y. Nj. C. A., the
X. c., the Liberty Loan and every
thing, l don't know where we are
coming out" said the Judge in his
remarks last night. Beware Of
that fellow for he is about the
kaiser's business. He reminds me
of the story told of the southern
Negro who was complaining to a
friend of the extravaganza OF his
helpmate.
''Brudder, | don't know where it
is g'wan to end. That woman pest
ers me TO money all the time. Jest
last week she asst me fo' $500 on
Monday, two more on Tuesday, sew
enty-five cents the next day, and
free dollars on Thursday. Its just
like that all the time. | don't know
what Use g'wan to do"
"Well, that is too bad. What
does she do with all of that money,
anyway" asked the other. Il don't
know" came the response, II hain't
give her none yet
That's about the way with the
folks who are always complaining
Of the war burden" added the
Judge. .-Muscatine Journal.

CALVES WERE GREAT
ATTRACTION HERE
Thirty-eight HOlstein Calves Were
Shipped to DecOrah by the Ma
tional Bank of DecOrah.
EIGHTEEN MORE WILL
ARRIVE HERE TO-DAY
Calves Are Sold at $25 a Head and
Insured for One Year. Calves
All Picked by Experienced
Men.

Last week The National Bank of
Decorah received the first two
shipments of Holstein calves for the
Boys and Girls Calf Club of Winnie
sheik county. There were thirty
eight calves in the two express ship
ments, each one in a crate and they
were certainly fine looking lot of
animals. They are all heifers run
ming from four to seven weeks old
and with few exceptions are hand
fed. large crowd assembled as
they were unloaded and distributed
in front of the bank. The crates
were numbered and the prospective
owners drew the numbers by lot
giving an equal chance to all.
Orders are continually being re-
ceived and several other shipments
are expected to follow. A choice is
given of either Holsteins or Guern-
seys about three fourths taking Hol-
stems Those received so far have
cost the owners S25 apiece and
are insured for one year to the ex-
tent that the money paid will be
refunded in case of loss.
The calves are picked up by ex-
perienced men in the dairy districts
of Wisconsin and Illinois under the
direction of the Iowa State Dairy
commission and Ames College and
the National Bank acts as the dis
tributing agent and makes the finan-
cial arrangements at this end of the
line. If desired payment for the calf
can be made by the boy or girl by
giving their note to the bank until
Dec. 1st, at five per cent endorsed
| by their parent or guardian. At that
time they may dispose Of the calf,
pay the note and keep the balance
or raise the calf themselves. OF
course the latter will be much more
profitable as in two years these
cows should be worth at least $125.
Winneshiek county needs more
dairy cattle and if we can place a
few hundred of these calves on our
farms every spring it will be only
short time before the value Of our
dairy output will be greatly increas-
ed.
All boys and girls interested
should call or write the National
Bank within the next ten days as
it is time for the calves to be de-
livered and it is dsirable to place as
great number as possible
Here are a few who have received
their calves. Go and look them over
or call them up and see how we'll
they are satisfied. The parents
names are given:

chase of Liberty bonds will accom-
plish when used by the war depart
ment:

water bags or 1000 surgical needles.
A $10O and a $50 bond will
clothe and equip an infantry soldier

inducted out of class 1, according to
order numbers. In cases, however,
where a registrant is actively and
completely engaged in the planting
and cultivation of crops, an excep-
tion will be made, men so employed
not being required to enter the SER
vice under this call. In order to

exception it must appear that the
registrant was engaged in agricul-
tural work of the kind above desig-
mated. at the time of the filling out

.3,412 men. Iowa will have between
$4,000 and 10000 men in the SER

from this state was $4,000. About
half of this had already been filled
at the time the first call was issued,
the state being given credit for
some 1000 members of the national
volunteers. The total number of
drafted men who have been induct-
ed into the service from Iowa, in
cluding the 3,4l2 who are called on
April 26, is approximately $4,000.
In addition to those who have
entered the army, a large number
of Iowa men have gone into the
navy and marine service.

President Wilson is about to sign
a bill which takes its place in history
as the most liberal legislation in pro-
lection of a nations fighters ever
known. 1t is good enough, strong
enough to be called the National
Ten Commandments, and is in effect,
thus:
Thou shalt not evict, for non-pay-
ment of rent, a soldiers dependents,
under penalty of $4,000 fine.
Thou shalt not cut off soldiers s
life insurance because of delayed
premiums.
Thou shalt not foreclose a mort
gage on a soldiers property.
Thou shalt not take away a sold
ier's home on which he has made part
payment.
Thou shalt not sell a soldier S
property because of his failure to
pay the taxes, national, state or local.
Thou shalt not settle a law suit
against a soldier during his absence.
If soldier sue, the court shall
pospone action until he can attend
to it.
If soldier have a mine, or timber
or farm claim, assessments on which
are overdue, it shall be held for
him.
Honor thy soldier and thy sailor
that thy days may be long in the
land of Liberty.
No man hath greater love than he
that offereth his life for the world S
sake, and it is commanded that
neither lawyers, nor the loan sharks
nor the gatherers of tithes shall fat
ten on him.
Congress is content to call this bill
the Civil Rights Bill intellectual
sloth! It's the Divine Rights Bill
says the Cedar Rapids Gazette.

Will Take New Position.

County Recorder Allen Wise, who
is now serving his fourth term as
recorder of Winneshiek county will
not be candidate this year, as he
has accepted a position with the Ma
tional Bank of Decorah and will
have charge of their abstract office.
The bank is certainly very fortunate
in getting the services of Mr.. Wise
as he has a thorough knowledge OF
the work and knows how to handle
it in very competent manner. That
he has made good and highly effi-
cient officer for Winneshiek county
goes without saying. He has been
thoroughly competent and has TAX
en- care of the work to the satisfac-
tion of everybody. His many friends
will be glad to know that he will re-
main in Decorah after his term OF
Office expires, and the bank is to be
congratulated on getting his servi-
ces.

Germany has taken possession or
several hundred thousand square
miles of fertile Russian and Rou-
manian territory, has conviscated
what grains were on the land and
has set the farmers to work raising
more grain to be used by German
armies. Probably, but not certain
ly, enough grain will be left to keep
the conquered Russian and Rou-
manian farmers from starving to
death while they raise crops for
their German masters.
Over in Russia the deluded people
thought an honorable peace could
be negotiated with Germany, but
they know differently now as they
toll in the fields for the kaiser's SOL
diers. The only way to negotiate
peace with the kaiser is with a
bayonet. We have sent our young
men over to France to do the ne
gotiating. Let us furnish them with
the bayonets, food and clothing
while they are using those bayonets.

CAMP DODGE BAND
DRAWS BIG CROWD
Military Band from CantOnment at
Camp Dodge Visited DecOrah Yes
terday, Got Great Reception
FINE TALK GIVEN
ON LIBERTY LOAN
People of Winneshnek Are Going
Over the Top in Buying Bonds.
The People Are Patriotic
Through and Through.

Nobody can say the people OF De-
corah and WinneShiek county are
not loyal, if they could have seen
the immense crowd of people who
came out yesterday to hear the Camp
Dodge Military Band play, and hear
the address of the gentleman on
the Third Liberty Loan, who travels
with the band. Over 1000 people
congregated to hear the band and
listen to the fine talk given. The
band arrived in a special car on the
afternoon Rock Island and march
ed to the court house square, follow
ed by crowd, the like of which has
not been seen in Decorah in many
day. The band played a number
of fine pieces on the court house
steps, which was greatly enjoy ed. A
gentleman who travels with the
band and talks about the Liberty
Loan gave one of the best and most
convincing talks ever heard here,
and while our people have been buy
| ing bonds and are ready to buy still
more of this loan, the gentleman's
talk instilled more patriotism in
| their hearts, il that was possible,
and all are ready to do their utmost
to make Winneshiek county go way
over the top. The first two loans
enabled us to prepare for the strug-
gle, to train and equip our soldiers,
and to get them to France. The
Third Loan will give our soldiers in
France the backing to send them to
victory. We must not talk of these
bonds as if they were an issue OF
Panama Canal bonds offered in time
of peace. In other words, we must
not talk in terms Of investment
when we should be talking in terms
of human life. So remember the
flag of liberty and support it. Keep
the glow in Old Glory and buy
| Liberty Bonds today.
One of the musicians with The
band here yesterday was a Winnie
shiek county boy, Oscar p. Lovstuen,
and he was greeted by many friends.
The band departed again at 1880
over the Rock Island, going to Os-
sian, where their car was transferred
to the Milwaukee and they went to
Cresco.
