SHEP HAS PASSED TO ANIMAL
HEAVEN THAT KNOWS NO WOE
CBy C. c. wright)

Dogs passing the Warren residence
may now do so unchallenged, for Shep
is no longer there to bar their way
and callers at the house may enter
without having to step over him as he
holds down the door mat Many
years, many times run over, many
fights, and rheumatism. finally told on
the old dog. and for a long time past
he could just hobble from the furnace
room each morning to the front door
mat, where he would lie all day. Sun
day he hobbled around as usual, took
his place ON the door mat and went to
sleep.
Years and years ago they brought
the puppy home for the baby to play
with. They grew up together-the
baby to young womanhood and the
puppy to an old dog. When Shep ran
through the house with muddy feet.
or when he was shedding and would
have to be barred from the home, the
baby protested, and had her way, and
he was privileged TO do all the de-
struction he wanted to do. AS Shep
grew old. people said he was grouchy,
and quarrelsome, but his lifelong
friend never thought so, for she was
blind to his faults. People who saw
the young lady pick the old dog up
out of the street when he was nearly
all in, wondered that she was needless
of her beautiful new gown. But she
cared not that her beautiful dress
caught the hairs. CRIME and dust, for
money could buy new gown, but the
love of an old friend was beyond
price.

'CLANSMAN' AGAIN
TO BE SHOWN HERE

Recent outbreaks of lawless night
riders in certain districts of Ken
lucky, who dragged both whites and
negroes out of their homes and fiogged
them and administered other brutal
punishment to them, smacks of the
old Ku Klux Klan methods that are so
strikingly set forth in d. w. Griffith's
photo-spectacle, "The Birth of a Ma
tion," which is the special feature at
the American Theatre for next Friday,
matinee and night.
This is the way it started, but con-
slant success made the offenders bold

CANCELLED STAMPS OF NO
USE TO AMERICAN RED CROSS

No cancelled stamps are wanted by
the Red Cross, which has issued a
statement advising people not to
waste time and energy in saving and
forwarding them.
Somebody, somewhere. started one
of those pleasant, but likely to be
annoying fictions and the idea has
spread that the American Red Cross
has devised a method of extracting
the dyes from cancelled stamps and
using the dyes" said the statement.
Large quantities of such stamps have
accumulated through the good will of
persons who have thought they were
doing something to help win the war.
Scores of letters have been received
asking information. The stamps are
of no use to the Red Cross"

Distance and time lend enchantment
and the followers of the Invisible
Empire of today do not have the halo
of romance about them that marked
the Clansmen of the early after-tbe-
war period, but if not promptly taken
in hand they might degenerate into
just such an organization.
1t is also said that the present night
riders effect practically the same dis
guise as did the Ku Klux Klan-the
long, ghostly hood and shroud and the
white covering for their horses.
This adds new interest in the do
ings of the original Ku Klux Klan. as
depicted in THE Birth of Nation, I"
and will strike a note of reality to
those newer generations who may re-
gard the secret organization as some
what of myth.

Church Drop. German Language.

The congregation of the Evangelical
Lutheran Church south of town has,
We believe, adopted the right attitude
and discontinued preaching in the Ger.
man language. On account of the in
discreet utterances of a few German
pastors in various sections of the coun-
try, a shadow has been cast upon all
German churches including those Who'll
ly innocent of disloyalty to the United
States. In order to remove any such
shadow from his church, Rev. Karl
Rudolph on the vote Of his congrega-
ton, decided to preach only in the Eng
lish language. There was also another
element of considerable weight which
was taken into account. The congre-
CATION is now largely made up of the
younger generation, which is English
speaking and favored English preach
ing. This matter had for several years
been one of some contention, and this
was very propitious time for making
the transition. The church is to be
commended in taking this right step in
eliminating an enemy language. We
all know that Germany would not have
hestitated one moment in taking quick
action had similar condition existed
there, and veryN drastic action at that.
While we are on the subject we want
to say that some of the members of
that church are among the most loyal
citizens in this vicinity and actively 50.
A number of very liberal donations
have been given by the ladies Of the
church to the Red Cross. -Riceville

War Stamps Drive Date Changed.

The date of the intensive drive fol-
the sale of War Savings Stamps has
been changed from Monday, April %,
to May 4. when the third Liberty Loan
campaign comes to an end. State Di.
rector Homer A. Miller of Iowa in q
letter addressed to Iowa bankers, coun'
ty chairman, postrnasters, mayors and
newspapers sets forth the reasons for
the change in dates. The letter fol-
lows:
THE third Liberty Loan campaign,
having been completed in Iowa, it was
planned to open war savings stamps
campaign next Monday, April 29th and
plans were completed for an extensive
drive to last one week. This plan had
the approval of C. H. McNider, direc-
tor of the Liberty Loan campaign in
Iowa, who issued a published state.
ment in the interest of the war saw
ings stamp drive. Harrison B. Riley,
federal director for the Seventh dis
trict had also approved of the plan.
1T now develops that several states,
including Illinois and South Dakota,
have planned war savings stamp
drives for the same week, although
their Liberty bond campaigns haye not
been completed. A war savings stamp
drive was bound to interfere with Lib
erty bond campaigns in such states, and
although Iowa has gone over the top.
Sec'y McAdoo, in fairness to such
other states, has issued q statement
asking that all war savings stamp
drives be deferred until after the Lib
erty bond campaign in all states are
ended.
in difference to Sec'y McAdoo and
the treasury department., feel con-
strained to meet this request and defer
the war savings stamp drive until May
4th when it will be acceptable to Sec'y
McAdoo.
Il urge all war savings stamp work
ers to utilize the extra weeks time
thus:given to further perfect their Or
CARNATIONS and get ready for the big
drive which will begin May 4th. Iowa
must within q weeks time raise $780,
600, 900 in cash sales and stamps and
secure enough pledge for future pur-
chases to put the state over the top in
the eale Of stamps )
b Yours very cordially
Homer A. Miller,
State Director.
