What We Have Missed.

Gypsy Smith says:
"You have never seen the havoc,
witnessed the slaughter, suffered the
agony, felt the heartbreak that have
come to the allies of Europe at the
hands of those people who are not fit
to be named a civilized community.
And all this to satisfy the diabolical
ambition of the butcher of Berlin"
Well, there is only one way for us
to stop this, and that is by getting
back of our government with every
power at our command. And we can
begin by pledging ourselves to save
to the utmost of our ability and to
buy War Savings Stamps that there
may be more money, labor and
materials for the government with
which to fight the war.

Gently fell inside the German lines

states that his parents hear occas-

through the Red Cross organization.
The Red Cross in Germany com
municates with the Red Cross in
Switzerland, and from there the news
is transmitted to the relatives in this
country. He says that Norman is in
good health and has almost recovered
from the injuries sustained when
he fell several weeks ago. At that
time both of his wrists were broken.
Since he was taken prisoner by the
Germans he has met an old pal who
was in the British army and has
been prisoner for two years.

Fine Picture of Eclipse.

AS far as is known, Miss Clio Scriven
is the only Webster City kodak en-
thusiast who attempted to photograph
the eclipse of the sun, as seen here
late Saturday afternoon, June s. Her
efforts were well repaid, as evidenced
by the very beautiful and very exact
reproduction she was enabled to make
Of it.
The spectacle was photograph at
6:35 o'clock and represents the eclipse
at its height. The picture was taken
on the river bank in the northwestern
part of the city and shows most UNI
usually beautiful moonlight effect OF
failing light of day on the ripping
waters. Miss Scriven used her own
kodak with no special equipment other
than a ray filter attachment. The
picturesqueness of the spot chosen
adds greatly to the beauty of the
whole
Miss Scriven's work is generally
known to be of high order, she hav-
ing long, since passed from the
amateurs field. Her excellent photo
graphs of birds and bird life and many
other phases of out of door life have
appeared frequently in we'll known
magazines and she is at present pre-
pairing to send her view of the eclipse
jt0 several publications.

Nielsen Hotchkiss, Chairman of child

That the work may go forward,

Guard Against Contagion.
81 want my baby to be weighed
and measured for Uncle Sam, but I
don't want him to run the risk of
catching : measles or whooping
cough" said an anxious mother yes
terday. Because the committee in
charge of the weighing and measur-
ing test in Webster City does not
want that mothers baby or any 9TH
err to catch measles or whooping
cough, or any other diseases, certain
precautions are being taken. 1t is
for this reason that the number Of
children to be brought to the weigh
ing and measuring headquarters is
limited to a certain number each
day.

Iowa Gets Call
For 1882 Men
To Leave July p

$4,000 men from Iowa will not take
all of class 1 from Hamilton county.
The ratio for this county is approx
imately one per cent which would
mean $50 men. There are 300 in
class / in this county, so that There
will still be class 1 men left under
this call. Owing to the fact some
counties had already exhausted class
1 and may be unable to reclassify
enough, it is possible that Hamilton
county will be called upon for more
than $50 men, though Mr.. Burnstedt
does not deem this likely. But even
$50 men from the county will be a
surprisingly big drain on young men
and indicates that the government is
getting men to France rapidly now
and that the shipping problem has
been satisfactorily solved.
