OsKALOOSA BOY
WITH CANADIANS
DAVID GAsPERI WAS SEVERELY
WOUNDED IN BELGIUM.
SO IOWA men ARE MENTIONED
On the Three Big Lists Given Out
Today, and Containing Names
of 1856 Americans--None
Among the Marines.

Word comes TO relatives in Oska-
loosa from the Canadian government
of the severe wounding of David Gas
peri, in service with the Canadian
Army in Belgium. David was a for
mer Oskaloosa boy, son of Joseph
and Emma Gasperi, who lived here
several years, but have since return
cd to Italy. Joseph was brother
of Mike Gasperi, No. 1880 High ave-
nue. east. The son remained in this
country when the parents returned
20 their native land and he enlisted
with a Maple Leaf" regiment some
time ago and it is understood has seen
considerable service. p
David Gasperi was member of
the Sth Reserve Regiment of Infan.
try in Canada and went there and en-
listed only after he had tried to en-
list in Des Moines ard was refused
on account of some defect with his
y
and has been in the regiment only
about year. 81. ....
Mike and James Gasperi are the
brothers who live in Oskaloosa and
they operate the Gasperi Creamery
Co, on South A street. They also
have another brother. John Gasperi,
who has been in the Italian Army for
about two years.
About a week ago the family of
Michael Gasperi was officially mott
fled by the Director of Records, that
the brother David had been wounded
by gunshot wound in the left hand
and is now confined for treatment in
the 55th General Hospital at Bou-
logne. His condition is not serious
and he is anxious to again be with
his regiment.

MAHASKA SLACKERs
ACTION AGAINST DELINQUENT
BOND ASSESSMENTS.

Friday afternoon at two O'Clock was
the last day given delinquents in the
Fourth Liberty Loan to appear and
show cause why they should not give
their apportionment toward the pur-
chase of bonds to provide support to
the boys :: the front.
Members of the county committee,
the local chairmen and members OF
the council of defense were present
and reports were made from each and
every township. Some reported no
slackers whatever.
Special notice has been sent TO
delinquents and they have had per-
sonal opportunity to make adjust
ment of their portion of the loan
through their township committee
man. Some townships of the county
have a clean slate, others have only
one or two slackers. Taken as a
whole the county has a small percent
age of slackers, but small as the
number is, they are making more
trouble than all the contributors put
together.
Ignoring all notice and all oppor-
tunity for making settlement with
their local boards, their cases have
now been passed on and other action
will be taken, preliminaries toward
which have been inaugurated.
That the boys at the front may
know just who the slackers of the
city and county are and that the peo-
pie at home may also know who are
willfully delinquent and refuse to
support the war work, the names of
the slackers are to be displayed by
the committee in a conspicuous place
in addition to other and subsequent
handling of their particular and indi-
vidual cases.
Resolution Adopted.
The following resolution was adopt
ed by the unanimous vote of the
meeting:
''RESOLVED, That it is the sense
Of the Summary Court of the Mahas-
ka County War Council, that the
names of the boys who have given
their lives in the service Of their
country shall be inscribed in suit
able manner upon Bulletin Board in
a public place in Oskaloosa, Iowa,
and that upon another part of said
Bulletin Board, there be inscribed the
names of those citizens of Mahaska
County who failed to contribute their
to the various War Funds"

DEFERRED CLASSES
LAST OF SEPTEMBER REGIS
TRANTs TO RECEIVE PAPERS

Roy Z. Rowland as the Secretary of
the local Draft Board and his efficient
office force are now busy sending out
the final installments of 10 Question
mares a day for 10 days, in all making
total of 100 and this will complete
the list of those who registered on
September 18th last. After the Ques-
tionnaires are filled out and returned,
the parties will be notified and will
take their preliminary physical exami-
nations. All of this work will keep the
Board busy for some time to come
and as Old Mahaska is one of the
prompt counties in making their re-
turns to the District Board, the good
work now being done will be in keep
ing with that which has prevailed be
fore.

TO CARE FOR IoWANs
None So Far Found in Washington in
Need of Help.

Because of inquiries received about
war workers from anxious relatives in
Iowa, who fear the influenza epidemic
which is ravaging Washington, the
Iowa delegation in the house at the
insistence of Representative Woods
held meeting in the office of Repre-
sentative Dowell last night and took
steps to organize for the welfare of all
the government clerks and employees
who have come from Iowa for the war
work.
In many cases young men and
young women war workers who have
influenza are without adequate care
or rooms. Whether there are any
Iowans in such situation the mem
bers of the delegation are going to
find out, and they will then take the
necessary steps to give them relief
In a general way they plan to see tc
ii that very Iowan here who needs
help gets it.

Street REQPE:NEl
BRIDGE NEAR C. r. /. & p. TRACKS
HAS BEEN REPAIRED.

On South NJ street, just north of the
Rock Island tracks near the city
dumping grounds, the bridge that has
been closed for a few weeks is being
overhauled and repaired. When the
roadway was closed, it was the inten-
ton of the county and city authorities
to take the bridge out and to replace
it with a new reinforced concrete
bridge or large open culvert and in
doing this, to raise the grade of the
roadway at this point and to make the
work more permanent and complete
than it is now, but the war restric-
lions and demands of the government
have interfered. The idea may pos
sibly be carried out later, when ma
terial is more plentiful.

SEED CORN CENSUS
MAHASKA COUNTY HAS PLENTY
AND SOME TO SPARE.

The seed corn census of Mahaska
county is nearing completion. While
the final figures are not yet complete
or available it is certain that fully
ninety-fve per cent of the corn grow
ers have ample and splendid seed for
next season and many have more than
will be required for their own needs.
Mahaska county will have seed for
the other parts of the state.
One locality in Cedar township is
without much good seed on account
of the hail hitting a strip Of country
where irreparable damage was done.
Taken as whole this season may
be regarded as favorable for seed as
last year was unfayorable and Ma
haska has produced the best seed in
the country.
