the Iowa smokeless day for emergency

started auspiciously in Fairfieb last
week, and has been just as successful
ly launched in the county. Each sub

ly and in all but two cases the blanks
have been sent out and placed in the
different stores. This IL good record
considering the condition of the roads
the early part of the week. The
prompt reply of every woman asked to

selves in this way for fund to b
used for the boys. There are now but
few families in the county that have

GLASGOW IS
PATRIOTIC
SENT MANY MEN TO CIVIL WAR
AND ARE FOLLOWING Ex-
AMPLE TODAY.

Fairfield, March 14.-Glasgow. one
of the Oldest towns in Jefferson coua-
ty claims a most unusual patriotic
record. In the days of the opening OF
the civil war this little town furnished
a goodly number of soldiers, especial
" members Of the Fourth Iowa cav
airy. Lieut.. George Strong, 20 years
old, was one of the first Glasgow boys
to lay down his life in defense OF his
country in those perilous times.
Now Glasgow comes forward aagin
for the honor of having the first boy
to enlist in the present great conflict
and the first boy to give his life for
the flag in the war today. Earl e.
Litton. son of Mrs. Ella Litton of Glas-
cow enlisted under the British flag
soon after war was declared In 1914.
His mother received a letter from him
about the holidays telling Of how he
was trying to be transferred to the
American army, now that the United
States was really in the conflict. Soon
after the holidays Earl Humphrey OF
Glasgow passed away of pneumonia at
Camp Cody, Deming, New Mexico. He
was a member of Company M, 1853 U.
S. infantry. The remains were
brought back to Glasgow and buried.
Glas cow citizens are very proud OF
this UNUSUAL record, for their small
community.

Ottumwa has sent three registered
nurses into government serv.- .he
district meeting which was held here
recently, at which time an appeal was
made to nurses to enroll under the
Red Cross flag was timely, for the
need for Red Cross nurses is becom-
ing more urgent every day.
The last Red Cross bulletin has an
urgent plea for more girls to enter
the nurses training schools. The FOL
lowing is taken from the bulletin:
There are today in the United
States over $4,000 registered nurses.
Probably 1000 nurses from our coun-
try are already in service on the
French front. About 5000 are already
enlisted in the work in the camps and
environments in our own country, and
approximately 1000 nurses are as
signed with base hospitals awaiting

figures may seem encouraging yet it
is imperative that we must have more
nurses. and still more nurses avail

denced by the fact that statistics now
show an increase of over 20 per cent
in the nurses training schools in this

ull-f1edged nurses, capable of serving
at the front, and there should be
very great increase in the near future
Of volunteers from the number OF
registered nurses mentioned above.
"The registration in the United
States is far greater than that in any
other country on earth, and it is not
conceivable that there should not be
q greater percentage of registered
nurse volunteers in this patriotic SER
vice for the country.
YOUNG WOMEN SHOULD ENLIST

that able and educated young women
should be urged to enter the regular
training schools and take the usual
course, in order to At themselves fully
for nursing said Miss Jane Delano,
chairman Of the national committee
on nursing service. While our pres
ent needs are being met, the burden
of the war will increase rapidly. It is
highly desirable that the ablest, most
experienced nurses should be released
for service behind the lines, and a
constant supply of younger nurses,
thoroughly trained, will allow these
older women to leave their posts in
this country without danger to our
own sick"
