Woman Married Seven Soldiers.

Council Bluffs, Ia, April %
Ruth Roberts, 80, who was mar
ried in this city Dec. z, 1907, to
Harvey Zellner, 10, is declared by
the authorities to have married
seven army men, one lieutenant and
six privates. From these seven hus-
bands it is said she is getting al
lowances of 1855 per month.
The woman is in jail at Ogden
while her Council Bluffs husband is
in Jail here, charged with deser-
ton.
She induced him soon after her
marriage to go to Salt Lake City
where later she turned him in and
claimed the $50 government reward
offered for deserters. This led to an
investigation and her arrest.

Farmers Seed Corn "DOn'ts".

By S. A. Clock, state director OF
the seed corn survey.
Don't plant seed corn until each
ear is tested, regardless of guaran-
tee.
Don't buy seed corn from points
south of you, at distance of more
than thirty miles.
Don't buy seed corn unless the
tag on the bag states where it was
grown and the test.
Don't be particular about variety
or quality-get corn that will grow.
Don't buy shelled corn. There is
no way to test it.
Don't lose your head if you are
short of seed corn. Appeal to your
county agent and he will direct you
to a supply at reasonable price.
Don't sell corn fit for seed until
you know your neighbor is supplied.
Don't charge exhorbitant prices
for seed corn. 1t is disloyal and
unpatriotic. Our armies must have
food. When you charge high prices
for seeds you are helping the kais-
er.

McCORMACK'S $50, 900 INCOME
TAX,
Noted Irish Tenor's Contribution to
the Government Exceeds That of
CaruSO-Great Work for the
Red CrOss-Big Royalties
on Records.

John Mccormack, the noted Irish
tenor and Victor artist, put into the
hands of Mark Eisner, Collector of
Internal Revenue for the Third New
York District, check for 5000
sum equal to the annual salary OF the
President, which represented Mr.. Nc
Cormack's income tax for the year.
This exceeds by $4,000 the income
tax paid by Enrico Caruso three
weeks ago, and is believed to repre-
sent an income of approximately
100000 a year.
Accompanied by d. F. McSweeney,
his associate manager; M. f. Doyle,
his attorney; United States Marshal
Thomas d. Mccarthy, friend of the
singer, Mr.. Mccormack went to 1850
Broadway, one day last week. News
that he was coming had spread
among the employees in the office, and
the singer was the object of much
interest when he arrived. He was in
PRODUCED to Mr.. Eisner by Marshal
Mccarthy, and the necessary papers
were drawn in about half an hour.
After Mr.. Mccormack had signed the
form he made out a check for $751;
0G0 and was photographed handing 1t
to Mr. Eisner.
After leaving Mr.. Eisner's private
room, Mr.. Mccormack rejoined Mar
shall Mccarthy and Mr.. Sweeney, and
remarked, as a broad grin overspread
his face: IF my father ever found out
what | paid inside he would curse
the Germans more than he does"
Asked how he felt about giving up
so large sum to the Government,
Mr.. Mccormack replied 1t makes
me feel happy to do my bit for the
country that made possible my sue
cess. 1t certainly makes man feel
great when he knows he is doing his
duty. You know the Bible says The
Lord giveth and the Lord taketh
away. Blessed be the name of the
Lord Well, with me it has been a
case of America giveth and America
taketh away. Blessed be the nar:e
of America
Mccormack income is derived
royalties on talking machine records.
His associates say his income the last
year from the records alone amounts
to more than $1S0,000. This is said
to be greater than any two other
singers living. Caruso's income from
talking machine records is said to be
SIPS, 1000, with an equal amount from
his operate work, making $4,000
in all.
Mccormack started this week on
his transcontinental tour to raise
100000 for the Red Cross. He has
already taken in $4,000 toward the
sum from performances in Washing,
ton, philadelphia, Boston and Cleve
land. The largest amount contribute
ed to the Red Cross at any concer'
was $4,000, in Cleveland, but the
singer received a telegram yester-
day that San Francisco is out to make
a record of $4,000
When his obligations to the Red
Gross are cancelled, MIR. McCormack
expects to appear at series of con
certs in behalf of the Knights Of
columbus War Camp Fund. 1t would
not be surprising if at the end OF his
last tour in May he went to France
to sing for the soldiers. He was
quoted as saying that If it was
thought he could contribute to the
success of the war by going to France
he would be glad to do so.

PUBLICITY AND CRITICISM.

Congress shall make no law
abridging the freedom Of speech or of
the press" so reads a clause in our
Constitution.
This Is a wise provision. The citi-
zens of a democracy should at all
times know of and be able to criticise
the management of their affairs. In
vestigation and criticism in the pres
ent war have been Of great benefit
in Fastening our preparation by point
ing out errors that have been made.
There is no doubt whatever that the
great safeguards in the conduct of the
war are almost unlimited publicity and
the right Of criticism.
We are told that constructive crit
icism is always welcome, but who is
to decide what is constructive? Why
not criticism without the adjective?
Most citizens believe that Universal
Military Training as a corrective of
our unpreparedness would have been
constructive, and yet it was not adopt
ed. Who can tell, If 1t had been ac-
copied when first proposed, what the
result would have been on this warl
If we had had more publicity upon
the production of aeroplanes, shipping
and ordnance, the suggestions of think
ing men would unquestionably have
stimulated the rapidity with which
these articles were being produced,
and the delays that have occurred
might have been avoided.
There are things the Government
cannot make public, and these the peo-
pie do not ask to know. But in, the
main full information concerning the
progress of preparation can safely be
given to the people. 1t is the peoples
war; it is war supported by the peo-
pie, financially and physically, and
suggestions by them should be sought
and considered.

EDITORIAL
THE PARAMOUNT ISSUE.

Good Americans will indorse out
right the program of the National Sc
curity League to prevent the election
or reelection Of any members of Con-
gress this year who are not known to
be vigorous proponents Of the war or
who can be lured to support any spe-
ciouS efforts at an inconclusive peace.
The country needed such nOnpoliti-
cal organization as the league to lead
holders and Office seekers who, in
many parts of the country are cater
ing to the hopes Of the people that
the war may be ended, even though 1t
is not ended right. The league can
come to Colorado, for instance, and
build fires under two or three politi-
clans who probably will seek re-elec-
tons here and, without its motives be-
ing questioned, can expose the rank
pacifism which has featured their po-
litical careers.
Just how the war will terminate
will depend mostly upon the United
States. Just what the United States

support that pledge by electing men

For that matter. Americans should
be careful about electing anybody to

INSURANCE AGENTS WILL

ia Association of Life Insurers, corr

agents and managers, has adopted the
following resolution urging every life

vote his entire time to the War Saw
ing Stamp campaign on June %:
Resolved that this association,
representing large body of life in
surance agents in Atlanta, as we'll as
those working under the various man.
ayers and general agents in Georgia,
lay aside all other business and devote
his entire efforts in the great drive
for the sale of War Saving Stamps,
and that they assist the county chair
man in every possible way to make
the meetings and speakings in their
own and neighboring communities
large and successful We especially
advise that as they get thousands of
men, women and children not only
to purchase War Saving Stamps to
agree to buy as many as they can each
week for the balance of the year. The
government expects $57 100000 from
Georgia, and there should not be a
single inhabitant who is not able to
buy at least one Thrift Stamp (25c)
each week from now until December
81. All of the managers and general
agents have indicated their willing
ness to do everything in their power
to help the War Saving Stamp organ
ization in this state and give their
own men any cooperation that is
needed. Insurance men collectively
and Individually were able to sell mil
lions of dollars worth of Liberty
Bonds, and they can certainly be
counted on to sell millions of War

LOCAL BOARD OF DADE
COUNTY IS REMOVED

Atlanta, Ga, June 21.-The local
board for Dade County, Ca has been
removed from office by President
Wilson for juggling order numbers.
1t is charged that they called men of
lower numbers and sent them into
service ahead of others who should
have been called first, and that they
deliberately skipped the order num-
bers of four men, two of whom were
related to member of the board.
Complaints were made to Major Joel
B. Mallett, officer in charge of the Sc
lective service law in Georgia, and to
the department of Justice Major
Mallet made an investigation and de-
partment of justice agents made an
investigation. Both reports coincid-
ed. After examining the reports Pro-
vost Marshal Crowder, in Washing.
ton, recommended to President Viii
son that the Dade county board be
summarily removed and new board
appointed, which the President did.
| This is the fourth local board in Geor-
gia to be removed The Fulton coun-

eliminating against negroes in favor
of white men. The Taliaferro county
board was removed for the same
cause. The Jasper county board was
removed for general ineficiency, care
lessness and neglect of duty. Major
