COOTIE GARMENTS FOR BOYS
Every Member Of New Iowa Division
To Be Provided Against Vermin
in the Trenches.

Iowa City, Ia, July every Iowa
boy in the SSth division which is to
sail for France the last of the month
will possess a "cootie garment" if the
plans of Mrs. F. c. Eastman of the
University of Iowa, head of the anti
yermin garment work, receives the
support which she expects from the
cities and towns of Iowa. This
means that nearly 1000 garments
must be in Iowa City for treatment
before July 10.
The report of the first shipment
has been received by the War De
partmeRt from General Pershing. and
as a result the acting quartermaster-
general has written to Mrs. Eastman
for a sample suit of the Iowa anti
vermin garment with the information
that the government intends TO pur-
chase 25,000 of these suits for imme-
date shipment. II is possible that
Iowa, pioneer in the movement, will
attempt TO supply this demand, after
her own boys of the Ssth are made
safe from vermin.

FARM HAND WAS AN OFFICER
Alleged Method of Obtaining Evil
dence Against People Accused
Of Being Pro-German.

Delta, July 6.--NO public celebra-
tion was held in Delta July 4th but at
various points in the place fireworks
were displayed to some extent during
the early evening. All day long the
small boy and his firecrackers were
in evidence, but not to so notable an
extent as in previous years, the great
majority of people feeling that the
money could well be spent in far
better manner.
Emil Plagman and wife of near
What Cheer last week were put un.
der bonds TO appear in Federal court
on account Of alleged pro-German ten
denotes. For some time past they
have been under suspicion that all
was not right and recently a new
hired man came to assist in the farm
work and had the privilege of living
in the family and in this manner Sc
cured the facts as they were Last
week a Government officer came to
the place and the couple were placed
in custody and It then developed that
the supposed hired man was in real
fly a member of the Secret Service.
Mr.. and Mrs. Plagman have relatives
living in Delta, but they are decidedly
American in their sympathy and pa
'triotism. The case will come up for
a hearing at Ottumwa in a week or So
Raymond feathers, who went out
from Delta some time ago, into the
Army service of Uncle Sam, has writ
ten back TO his mother, who lives
southwest of Delta, that he has ar
rived safely in France and was doing
well.

HOUSE RAISES WHEAT PRICE
Amends the Senate Schedule Of $3.50.
However, and Unites on a
$2.40 Basis. .-'

Washington, July 6.-The House to-
day Unexpectedly sustained amend
ments to the Agricultural Appropria-
ton Bill to fix the price of wheat at
$40 a bushel The vote was $50 for
and LOG against. This is compromise
for the Senate which has three times
insisted on an amendment for $3.50
wheat.
Without debate the senate agreed
to the house compromise fixing the
price of wheat at $40 a bushel. This
makes the agricultural appropriations
bill ready for the Presidents sigma
ture and ends deadlock which has
existed since April 5.

HOW To Be FRENCH
ROBERT M'DoNouoH GIVES SOME
VALUABLE POINTERS.

!
Corporal Robert E. McDonough con-
fides TO his sister, Mrs. George Haber
that he is learning French, that he
has raised a mustache and looks like
IA Frenchman. But who ever would
accuse Robert of being bashful,-in
: particular where the girls are con-
cerned Read this confession:
Somewhere in France.
June 4, 1918.
Dear Sister:-No, | haven't been
captured by the Boches yet. They
haven't had very much luck in getting
prisoners from this regiment. 1t has
been mostly the other way We have
been humping them off pretty regu-
lar.
We have been over here almost a
yeag now, and we will be wearing two
service stripes pretty soon. | have
not put my first one on yet. l am
waiting until thesyear is up and then
/ will put two on at once They
look very nice. You can tell how
much service each soldier has in
France. OF course this Division will
get the second stripe before any of
the others, because we were here long
before any other troops landed.
| received four of those papers the
other day. / read the letter Red"
Noel wrote to the boys back home. 1t
sounds just like the way Red" would
talk. | guess he has had taste of
the real trenches by now. All the
boys are doing their part and it is a
big part.
We are stationed at pretty good
sized town at the present, but there
is nobody here but soldiers All the
civilians have left We just make
ourselves at home in their (maisons)
houses. am staying in a pretty
have good china dishes to eat from
but we would have to do too much
dish washing, so we use our mess
kits. | don't know just how long we
will stay but we make the best of ii
while we are here. The part of the
me of home. The people that left
here had their gardens planted and
they are coming out fine They have
peas, strawberries, beans. lettuce,
'spuds" and almost everything we
have at home in a garden. They
picked several bouquets this morning !
and put them in some vases and have !
them on a table in the room | sleep |
in.
You asked me if could speak |
French yet. can speak enough to |
get along fairly well but l learn q
little bit more every few days. There |
are quite few of the boys who have |
learned to speak French since they |
came over here. They say the best |
way to learn is to get mademoiselle |
10 teach you. So l guess | will be'a
ong time learning.
So you think / would be more COM |
Portable dead than to be a Boche |
prisoner | have never been dead so !
don't know how comfortable that |
is.
1 guess | will never receive any !
packages because | won't write for |,
hem unless 1t would be some straw |
berry shortcake and that would spoil !
before it got here.
You ask what kind of bread we
have. We are eating French. bread. |
The kind the French soldiers have. |
guess | am getting most of the |
French habits. have even raised
2 mustache. One Frenchman said |
looked just like n Frenchman.
Goodbye with love, your brother,

The steamer had three decks
was on the upper one. On that be
low dancing was going on The bot

i by men who were talking and smok-
ing.

stituted by far the largest portion Of

Il was chatting with friends. We
felt the boat rise out of the river
II was clouded with fog. There was
crash.
For a moment no one moved and
then almost everybody rushed to one
side of the boat
Crew Tried to Restore Order.
THE crew and the officers as soon
as they realized what was happening
cried for the passengers to even the
load, but it was too late. The Column
bia tilted and then suddenly over
turned. was thrown into the water.
When | came to the surface peo-
pie were swimming about too daZed
to know what direction to follow. The
mist hung low above the overturned
boat, from which came in horrifying
confusion cries for aid.
Those on the lower decks seemed
TO have been trapped.
Il swan about and then a man
came TO my aid. A portion of the
boat remained above the water. There
other men were behaving like heroes. !
Some were holding women in
their arms and others were attempt !
ing to keep their heads above the
water by clinging to their clothing.
