CARE OF soLpIERs, EAMlLlEs.

During the Civil War the families
of soldiers were cared for either by
means of county funds or through
money and supplies furnished by pri-
yate organizations, says Earl S. Full
brook in an article published by the
State Historical Society OF Iowa. The
State legislature made no appropria-
ton, but at the extra session of 1861
it authorized county supervisors to
appropriate funds for the care of sol
diers' families. A law was passed
at the special session in 1852, per-
hitting the supervisor TO levy a tax
for that purpose, and law of 1864
required that such a tax be levied
Much of the burden OF such relief
work. however. fell on private indi-
viduals and associations. Most act
i've in the work were the local Sol
diers' Aid Societies. which, in addi-
tion to their other activities, very Of
ten assumed the burden of caring
for the needy families of soldiers in
their communities.

COUNTY Is PROUD
OF ACHIEVEMENT
MAHAskA's LIBERTY LOAN REC.
ORD STANDS ALONE
OVER THE TOPfIINtdRfaDAY
County Chairman c. e. Lofland Gives
Credit to Thorough Organization
and the Attitude of the
General Public.

Mahaska county was first over the
top in the third Liberty Loan Cam.
paign in Iowa. Every township
and every town in the county
has over subscribed. What is
more the county and many OF its town
ships were over the top on the night
of April 5, Friday night, the day be.
fore the Third drive was started in,
other places. One of the townships OF
the county, Prairie, with the town of
New Sharon, made the remarkable rec.
ord of going over two days before the
canvass. They turned in $4,000 at a
special patriotic meeting Thursday
evening, when The quota of this
district called for only $1,000 and they
have been going ever since.
Individual Records.
Over the top in one week was the
first slogan of the county organization,
down TO the last school district in the
county. No one supposed ii possible to
raise the apportionment of Mahaska
county in one day. But the people were
expecting the solicitors and they were
ready. What is true of the county as
a whole was made possible by the at
titude Of individuals. In the majority
of cases people have insisted upon
doubling and in many cases greatly in
creasing their subscriptions TO the
third Liberty loan Added TO this funds
have appeared from unexpected sourc-
| og 10 No
misses have appeared at the CONNER
cvial club headquarters and at banks
to make application for bonds. People
residing in other places have sent
money to Mahaska asking for bonds
from this county. In these and in other
ways the committee have been sur
prised at the attitude of the people in
general.
Great Bulk of Business
| So great has been the bulk of the
business in the hands of the committee
and the bankers that all have been ov-
erwhelmed for the time being with the
great bulk of the detail, When it
comes to almost every adultperson in
the county being personally interested
in the Liberty Loans, il means some
thing big.
A Big Achievement.
County Chairman c. E. Lofandsss
his capable organization are highly
pleased and gratified at the showing
made by the people of their district
and in fact that the county went over
the top in single day, This record
will stand to the lasting credit OF the
county. No matter what other counties
may do nor what this some community
may do upon future occasions, the
splendid showing made upon this oc-
casion will stand forth above all 9th
er records for the spontaneous man
ner of it's occurrence and accomplish
