cts by W. F. Ham, president of the
Washington Railway and Electric Com
rany. The tickets will be good on either
line.
Thirty carriers to the business section
were ready this morning to present the
old tickets, when President Ham called
I City Postmaster Chance and informed
him that special tickets would be ready
for the carriers this afternoon. Ac-
cordingly, Mr.. Chance instructed the
/, carriers to pay cash fares today.
Unless the paper tickets are forth
coming this afternoon all letter carriers
of the city post office will be provided
with the old tickets tomorrow morning
and instructed to present them to the
conductors.
Forcible election Of the letter car
riers carrying United States mail would
constitute a penitentiary offense. Post
master Chance was ready to make a test
case this morning, but was glad that the
street car companies agreed to furnish
special tickets.
The city post once mas endeavored
to secure metal tokens" as they are
called, for five cents apiece, which it
might supply to carriers. The use of
nickels, officials declared, would entail
an amount of clerical work in han
ding vouchers which would be enor-
nous.
The car companies have not furnish
ed the metal disks. and officials of the
city post office were ready to put the
men on the cars with the old tickets,
of which the Office has about a weeks
supply: The city post office will pay
five cents apiece for the new paper
tickets for it's mail men, and, when
these are received. will turn in the
old tickets for refund.

The .Prussian Cur

We had the pleasure of witnessing
"The Prussian Cur" at private
showing this afternoon. This is a
wonderful reproduction in every re-
spect and, if Mr.. Moreland is fortu
nate enough to get it here, it should
be seen by every man and woman in
Harrison county. The picture has not
been released yet but when it is will
be worth travelling a long ways to
see, especially if you are true red
blooded American. It has scenes in it
that will raise you out of your seat
and other scenes that will make you
want to enlist right on the spot.
The picture deals with the whole
history of the war and gives you a
more clear idea of the secret workings
Of the German secret service and it
shows how they worked in the United
States. The most Of the scenes are
true to fact in every detail:

Hazel johnson Truck Driver.

Missouri Valley can boast Of having
a woman truck driver. Gus johnson
of this city operates two trucks and
does a great deal Of hauling between
here and Omaha. This summer COM
petent help has been very scarce so
his daughter, Miss Hazel Johnson,
has been driving first one and then
the other truck and Mr.. Johnson goes
along to help unload. Tonight they
take load Of hogs from here to
South Omaha and may make the
second trip during the night. Miss
johnson dons pair of overalls and
can handle the big trucks as we'll as
any man and Mr.. Johnson thinks
she is as good help as he has had.
The sight of a woman handling a
big two ton truck is quite~a novelty
but before this war is over we may
expect to see the women doing all
the work workmen were accustomed
to do.

The new nan lower bill, drafting
men from 18 to As has passed both
the senate and the house and will
probably become a law this week
This measure should have been pass
ed the first time then the military
authorities would have known exactly
what the man power of the country
was. A man of AS may not be abba
to stand the hardships younger man
can but there is a great deal of work
he can do to help the government,
even if he can't put up good fight.
The man between 81 and 45 owes
the government just as much and
probably more. than the young men
of 81 to 81 and there is no reason
why they should not shoulder their
responsibility. AS near as can be as
certained at present the registration
day will be set for September 7th.

To The Anonymous Writer

The Night Marshal received an
epistle of the kind where they have
some scruples about annexing their
name to a vast amount of informa-
tion they are 6ivulging, pleading fo,
the hearty cooperation Of the afore-
bald officer in apprehending some
suspects whom the writer thinks, o..
believes that the suspects have been
bringing to our quiet little hamlet
some of the juice of the Giant Cactus
for the purpose of selling it illegally,
or for the purpose of lubricating their
internal machinery, all Of which is
very unbecoming, and contrary to
fhe statutes in such cases made and
provided. Informant further AYERS
that the suspects left on the 4:4O
krain and that leaving at 4:4O was an
indication that they had criminal in
tent, because 4:40 is when all arch
criminals stalk forth to commit their
horrible depradations upon the un-
protected public. Wreck homes, pill
lage hen houses, steal water melons,
slander their neighbors, (they work
over time at that) let their chickens
out so they can visit your garden, and
make havoc, all of which is very
naughty, and should not be tolerated
!in any well regulated city.
Now you writer without name if
yen can overcome your temerity to a
sufficient degree to approach the Of
Ulcers and make a verbal statement
las to the facts in any particular case
I'VE would be glad to render you all
the relief possible in our capacity, for
the reason that we have very strong
desire to administer relief as soon as
possible, so no bad results will oc-
cur to the parties asking relief. Will
say farther that your name will be
kept as secret and inviolate as is
possible for any officer to do. We
cross our heart and will swear by the
living Jumbo that we will not breath
or whisper, or talk, neither will we
tell our wife one solitary word relat-
ing to the matter, no difference how
wild and unreasonable it may appear
Now that is the very best we can dc
for you in this matter. We would like
your patronage, and will promise tc
be courteous and pleasant to you
when you approch us, and l think we
will get good results from your hear
ty cooperation.
With these few remarks l will bio
you a fond adieu.

The Fourth Liberty Loan


About month from now the sub
scription to the Fourth Liberty Loan
will be open. It is expected that this
campaign will be a short one, cover
ing but three weeks. It is understood
that the interest rate is to be the
same as for the third loan, and the
amount asked for will probably be
twice as large.
I A short analysis Of previous loans
is of interest. We find that Iowa fell
down on the first oan, only subscrib-
ing 68 per cent Of her allotted quota.
The state made good on the second
loan, subscribing Ill per cent Of her
quota, while on the third loan we
went clear over the top, being the
first state in the Union to subscribe
the quota assigned, our final SUBJ
scription amounting to 1915 per
cent. The total of the three loans
summarized is 1921 per cent. Four
hundred and sixty-five people out Of
every thousand Of our population,
subscribed and the average amount Of
subscriptions was $225.00.
Having at last caught our stride it
should be easy TO secure the quota
which will be assigned US in, the
coming loan, in state, county and in
precinct.
f ~ 4 ,. =. =
Increase p reduction, decrease con-
sumption, save, and slend 10 ths..ssov-.
ernment. Every cent loaned to the
United States is used to support, to
strengthen and aid our soldiers over
seas.
From the battlefields Of France,
there comes an unspoken call that
t:lould find an answer in every Amer
lean heart. The recent events in Eu-
rope, the successes Of American arms
on the fields Of France, should spur
every American to greater effort.
Our people at home should not rest
on the laurels Of our soldiers in
France. Every death on the field of
honor in the line of duty and for our
country's cause should be call to
us for every sacrifice and every ex-
ertion to aid the cause for which our
soldiers are fighting, for which our
soldiers are dying.
