With Keokuk chapter, A. r. c., and
whatever it orders, will be done.
Keokuk chapter will be asked to furn-
ish instructors to teach the teach
ers.
Whether or not it would be pos
sible to organize a unit in a school
where there was one pupil who either
would not or could not join, was
considered, and it was decided that
for the present such unit could not
be organized, with one pupil MISSING
The question will be taken up with
the Keokuk chapter. There is no in
tention, however, on the part of the
officials to expose any pupil or pupils.

IS CHARGED WITH
H0ARO|NG FLOUR
Henry County Farmer Was Given
Hearing Before Commissioner
Craig on Charge Of
Hoardinu.
JURY TO INVESTIGATE
Federal Body VIII Take Up His Case
Next FaIi-Man Had
Four Sacks Of
Flour.
JURY TO INVESTIGATE

". B. Rossell Of Salem, Henry
county, was bound over to the feder-
al grand jury this afternoon, follow
ing hearing before John E. Craig, u.
s. commissioner. on the charge Of
boarding necessities, to wit, flour In
violation Of the act OF August 10, OF
the U. S. food administration. MI.
Rossell WAS charged with having
four sacks Of flour in his possession,
which is in violation OF the law, which
allows one sack Of forty-eight pounds
to PERSONS living in the country, and
twenty-four pounds to city jewellers.
It Is immaterial when the flour was
purchased.
The witnesses against Rossell were
Mr. Willetts, OF the county council
OF defense and food administrator for
the county, and Mr.. Beckwith, who
was with Willets yesterday when
they visited Rossell. Mr.. Willets
said he asked Rossell how much flour
he had, and was told four sacks. He
said he asked him if he didn't know
he was violating law and the man
in question said that he wouldn't give
up the flour, that he needed it.
The flour was purchased out OF a
carload shipped in from Davenport
according to the defendant. 1t was
bought through the cooperative store
at Mt. Pleasant last fall, as near as
could be ascertained. Rosselrs ex,
cuse for having 80 much flour was
that his folks had used so much corn
meal and substitutes that he had this
left over.
Rossell wrote an article to Mt
! Pleasant paper denouncing the Off.
Gals OF the food administration. 1t
was an article which Assistant Dis
trict Attorney Moon characterized as
being a weapon for the use of these
"scoundrels who are trying to throw
obstacles in the path OF our officers y
Mr.. Craig told Mr.. Rossell that he
could easily have informed himself OF
the provisions of the act and he had
only one thing to do. and that was to
bind him over to the federal grand
Jury.
Mr.. Rossell told Mr. Moon that he
didn't realize how much trouble his
article might cause. and said he was
against the I. w. w. gang and people
like them. He was for shooting them
first and trying them later. He was
released on his personal bond to ap-
pear before the federal grand jury
next fall.
