PREPARE FOR NEW DRAFT LAW
WORK,

Although the extension of the draft
age to include men from Is to As
years has not yet been provided fo1
through congressional action, the
draft officials are proceeding with
their preparations for registration in
full confidence that the bill will pass
1t is generally accepted that registra-
tion day will fixed early in Septem-
ber
Acting Adjutant General Louis G.
Lasher of Iowa is sending out letters
of instruction to all local boards in
this state to prepare for registration,
in accordance with instructions he has
received from the provost marshal
general and from Governor Harding.
"The machinery for registration
must be perfected and ready to be
put into immediate operation when
the presidents proclamation can be
published" the letter declares.
1t is estimated that 275,OO0 men in
Iowa will be registered under this
new law. There will be registrars in
every voting precinct in the state, at
least one to every possible eighty reg
istrants. Volunteers are expected to
come forward and offer their services
without charge for this registration
work. In cities of more than 10000
population or in counties having
more than one local draft board a CEN
trail registration committee must be
appointed from the members of the
boards to coordinate and supervise
all preparations for registration.
Governor Harding is sending a let
ter to every county defense council
chairman, urging the county councils
to offer their services to the local
boards to aid in any manner possible.
The governor is also sending a let
ter to every board of county supervis-
ors urging cooperation in finding
places for registration. -... a"
"The task confronting the state or
ganization and the local boards is
known to be a great one" declares
General Crowder in his letter but it
is confidently expected that the nation
al draft organization will respond to
the call and make all preliminary ar
for the registration in
order that there may be no delay in
registering the persons to be subject
to draft upon the passage Of the nee
essary legislation and the issuance of
the presidents proclamation"

THE GERMAN BEATITUDES.

1t is not known if the following creed
was composed by German or by a
foreign student of Germaism. Tt has
the ring of genuineness; it is not far
fetched or overdrawn. The military
masters of Germany have acted upon
this creed and the German army, their
disciples, has lived up to it.
eye have heard how in olden times
it was said, Blessed are the meek, for
they shall inherit the earth; but I say
unto you. Blessed are the valiant, for
they shall make the earth their throne.
And ye have heard men say, Blessed
are the poor in spirit; but say unto
you, Blessed are the great in soul and
free in spirit, for they shall enter into
Valhalla. And We have heard men say,
Blessed are the peacemakers' but
say unto you, Blessed are the war max
ers, for they shall be called, if not
the children of Jehovah, the children
of Odin, who is greater than Je-
hovah."

WILD WEST PROGRAM FOR STATE
FAIR.

The military authorities at Camp
Dodge have granted permission to
some of the boys from Montana and
Wyoming to put on few wild west
stunts at the state fair. There will
be rough riding, wild horse racing,
bucking contests with both horses
and mules, Roman standing races
with both horses and mules, high
jumping contests and a score of 9TH
er strenuous stunts that the Camp
Dodgers indulge in for the fun of it..
1t seems that when Uncle Sam en-
ters the horse-buying business there
are more than a few unscrupulous
individuals that take advantage of his
good nature and unload bad actors
upon him, a fact the boys at the camp
are not long in discovering when they
undertake to put the animals at
work. They have big supply Of
outlaw horses and mules at the camp
and state fair visitors will have an
opportunity to study Camp Dodge
methods of handling bad actors. Mon
day, Tuesday and Wednesday will be
Camp Dodger days at the fair.

PICKS UP PARACHUTE IN No
MANS LAND.

Roy Welterlen, of this city, who has
been with the Rainbow Division in
France for some time, has been in the
trenches on several occasions and has
experienced the sensation Of being un-
der enemy fire. Some weeks ago while
his company was on duty in the front
line trenches, he saw parachute fall
in No Mans land, and he proceeded
to get it. He succeeded in getting it
and land safely in his trench with it.
The little parachute is used to carry
a powerful light over the distance be-
tween the two lines of trenches. The
parachute is made of small piece Of
silk with strings attached to it, and at
the end of the strings is attached a
light. He sent the parachute to his
parents, who naturally prize it high
ly as relic and keepsake.

Improvement OF Hawkeye Highway
Now Held Up Indefinitely. A
disappointment to Motorists.

The hopes so long cherished for the
improvement of the Hawkeye High
way across this county appears to
have vanished for an indefinite period.
After getting the state authorities
lined up and the Federal Aid appro-
priation, the board of supervisors can
not get contractor to bid on the job
The increasing shortage Of labor due
to the military draft and the coming
labor draft has frightened the big con-
tractors completely out Of business.
They will not bid on a job at any
price because they appear to be quite
confident that it will be impossible to
procure the necessary labor for this
character Of work until after the war.
The same conditions undoubtedly pre-
vail in most sections. All available
labor is being absorbed in work essen
tial to the war. Buchanan County had
a similar experience. Last Saturday
was the date set for receiving bids
for the Improvement of the Hawkeye
Highway across Buchanan county and
no bidders showed up.
The Federal authorities do not seem
to be adverse to having this work
done during the war. They have CO.
operated in preparing the plans and
have authorized the appropriation Of
the money to be contributed by the
government They are willing to have
the roads built if way can be found
to build them. The matter of keeping
the roads in condition is a very impor-
tant one to the country just now With
the railroad congestion crowding
freight and passenger traffic onto
auto roads some way should be
found to permit the keeping of main
roads in condition for use.
In Europe the situation is met by
employing prisoners of war on road
