According to a special from Wash
ington the discharge of soldiers on
this side of the ocean will be made
at daily rate of 10000 by the end Of
this week or the first of next. The
machinery for rehabilitation is well
under way in the hands of experienced
officers, which will speed up the work.
The rate of 10000 a day should re-
lease 100000 by January 1. 1t is
believed that just as soon as it is de-
termined how many men will be need
ed for the army of occupation over
seas, that the remainder over there
will be rushed home. Owing to the
fact that the British government
wishes to withdraw some of her ships
from the U. S. transport service for
commercial work, the home coming of
the boys will be delayed somewhat, as
the speed of the homecoming de-
ponds greatly on tonnage.

Pa u. Shiels

Paul Shiels the only son of Rever-
end w. S. and Mrs. Shiels, of Morgan
answered his final summons last Tues
day noon. Death resulted from
siege Of typhus pneumonia. All that
the skill of physicians and the love
of a devoted household could device
was provided for his welfare and
comfort, but all proved unavailing to
save his life.
Paul Shiels was born in Keokuk,
Iowa, April 3Oth, 1900. A little over
six years ago with his parents he took
up his residence here In the school
room he proved himself splendid stu
dent and he would have finished the
high school course this year, had he
| lived.
| He was very conscientious and
Industrious young man who realized
his duty to his country. During the
summer months he raised splendid
war garden as well as doing his best
in helping in the harves' fields. What
he lacked in bodily physique he
made up for in manly purpose.
| Shortly after his eighteenth birth
day a great ambition was fulfilled
when he joined the Home Guards,
later his membership was transferr-
ed into Co. L. National Guards and
whe. the company was sent to do
Relief work at Tyler after the cyclone
Paul gladly did his share with the
other boys.
He will be missed in his home, in
the church and in the school, but the
sorrowing sister and father and mo-
ther have the comforting thought
that he lived we'll the few short years
of his stay on earth. A large circle
of friends sympathize with them ir
their sorrow.
The funeral service was held Fri.
day at eleven o'clock in the yard OF
the Shells home. Rev. Patten of Man
kato gave a splendid discourse on the
purpose of living so as to be ready
when death calls. The casket was
wrapped in the flag which the de
ceased loved best next to his master
The flag was presented to the fami
ly by the National Guards. The pal
bearers were Messrs. Frank White
comb, H. o. Johnson, Manly St. Joh1
and F. S. Pollard. The Guard mem
bers marched as military escort tt
the cemetery where the firing squat
fired the final salute and taps wa
sounded over the grave of their de
parted comrade.-Morgan Cores

THE "FLU"
Written by Wilbur Petersen of
Mankato.

When your back is broke and your
eyes are blurred,
And your shin bones knock and your
tongue is furred;
And your tonsils squeak and your
hair gets dry,
And you're doggond sure you're going
to die; Il
But your skeered you wont and afraid
you will,
Just drag to bed and have your chill;
And pray the Lord to see you thru
For you've got the Flu, boy, you've
got the Flue.
When your toes curl up and your belt
goes flat,
And you're twice as mean as a
Thomas cat;
And life is a long and dismal curse
And your food all tastes like hard
boiled hearse;
When your lattice aches and your
head is a buzz,
And nothing is as it ever wuz;
Here are my sad regrets to you
You've got the Flue, boy, you've got
the Flu.
What is it like-this Spanish Flu
Ask me, brother, for I've been thru
It is by misery out of despair
It pulls your teeth and curls your
hair;
It thins your blood and trays YOU
bones.
And fills your craw with means ant
grOans;
And sometimes, maybe, you'll ge
we'll
Some call it Flue, boy, but l call it

MAKE THE LESSONS PERMAN

Whatever havoc it may have crea-
ted, the influenza epidemic has driv-
en- home some very valuable lessons.
1t has taught everybody that there
is danger in the invisible spray from
the coughs ad sneezes of influenza
patients.
It has taught everybody that there
is danger in foul, moist air and safety
in clean fresh air.
It has taught everybody that the
tightly close and unventilated room,
office, auditorium, living room or
street care is dangerous and facili-
tates contagion.
If everybody remembers that these
rules hold good whether there is in
fluenza or not, and that colds, grip
and pneumonia can be caught in pre-
cisely the same ways and under pre-
cisely the same conditions that influ-
enza can be caught, there vii. be gain

 Eighteenth Century Story at tue PdIdce.

The scarlet pimpernel is tiny wayside flower which has been adopt. ed as the emblem of band of Eng lishmen who are engaged in rescu- ing condemned aristocrats from the horrors of '92 The leader of this band is Sir Percy Blakeney Dustin Farnum) who is known to the revo- lutionists as "The Scarlet PimperneT' which also is the title of the feature at the Palace tomorrow night.
 On the surface Sir Percy is the greatest flop in all England. To his wife, Margaret, (Winnifrcd Kingston) who has married him merely for his wealth and position, Percy seems to be listless victim of ennui, but de- spite his mask of indifference she has learned to love him.
 At the Fishermen's Rest in Dover the first clashes of drama com mence. There, at the same time, are "The Scarlet Pimpcrnel," his wife. the leaders of his band, and Chauvelin, the revolutionary chief.
 Through intercepting notes between the members of "The Scarlet Pim pernel" band. Chauvelin gets his first hint that Blakeney is their head. He tries to gain the aid of Lady Blak- eney by threatening the safety of her brother, Armand St Just
 Calais furnishes the last scene of the story. At the Chat Gris Inn Chauyelin and his soldiers attempt to make a, prisoner of Blakeney, but the Englishman once more alludcs them. After leading them on a fruit less search through shops and hous- es and far into the surrounding coun- try, he leaps into a boat and sets out for England With his is Lady Blakeney who has at least seen through her husbands mask of bore dom. and has realized that she is not too proud to acknowledge her love.
