"Under provisions of the new reve-

"These exemptions ar in addition to
the present five thousand dollars en-
emptfon for aggregate ownership Of
previous issues. For example, q sub
scribed for flee thousand dollars of
the Fourth loan is entitled to eXemp.
tions on these bonds and also to eX-
emptions on $500 aggregate of prev

OF 3 ~ per cent bonds, which by their
terms are tax exempt. Exemption

BRITONS, OVER AGEy
TRY TO ENLIST

Waterloo, March 28.--An example
of the same sort Of patriotism that is
holding the British line against an
overwhelming number of the foe was
exhibited In Waterloo Tuesday. Five
Englishmen, three Of whom have seen
service with the British army, ap-
peared at the office of local officer
for examination to be admitted to fight
for their native land. Four were be-
tween IS and 40, the other 40 years
old. They passed the examination
without the least difficulty and hope
to be sent to England at once.
The physician in telling the story
said:
II was never SO impressed with
anything in my life as with the actions
of those men when they came to my
office. They were secure and pros
porous here but the thoughts of their
countrymen engaged in q terrific
struggle with the enemy were more
than they could bear. All requested
time and again while I examined them
that they be sent to Canada or Eng
land as soon as possible. see no
reason why they should not be accept
ed for they were in splendid physical
condition despite their age"

.HASTENS TO AID
THE RED CROSS
MT. PLEASANT MAN CONTRIB
UTEs $500 FOR FIRM AFTER
TALKING To>DEEMs.

Burlington, March 28.-When Frank
A. Bird, of Mt. Pleasant, came TO Bur
lington Tuesday he was under the I'm
preston that the Henry county Red
Cross branch was we'll financed and
had no immediate need of further con-
tributions. After he had talked with
Iowa Food Administrator, j. F. Deems
he found that his Red Cross branch
really needed little more money and
he cheerfuily contributed $500 to that
most worthy purpose.
Complaint had been made some
time ago that the Farmers Cooper
tive store at Mt. Pleasant was not liv-
ing up to the rules and regulations OF
the United States food administration.
On Monday special agents went to Mt.
Pleasant and conducted an investiea-
ton and discovered that there was
foundation for the rumors.
NO SUBSTITUTE
1t was especially established that
the concern had been selling wheat
flour without substitutes and had been
selling in quantities in excess of those
permitted by the administration.
The store was represented by Frank
A. Bird. manager, at meeting held at
the Deems offices yesterday afternoon.
Mr.. Bird stated that there had been
no intention to disobey the rules and
that violations Of the rules were made
in ignorance rather than with intent
to do wrong. The case was finally dis
missed upon payment by this concern
of 5000 to the Mt. Pleasant chapter of
the Red Cross, end upon agreement
that all present and future regulations
made by the administration would be
observed cheerfully. Leniency IN this
case was considered proper because OF
extenuating circumstances evolved at
the hearing.

faculty Of Iowa Wesleyan college ar
ranged a campus day on which the
young men students of that institu-
ton were to repair the tennis courts
and athletic fields and clean up the

The day set for the affair, found a
shortage of girls in the school room,
but $50 of them dressed in aprons
and armed with rakes and shovels,
joined the ranks of the young men.
The rebels were forgiven when they
proved their worth as laborers.

tire student body adjourned to the

served, bonfire built and the even
ing spent in singing and listening to

GENEROUS
RURAL RED GROSS CHAPTER
GIVES BOUNTiFULLY TO BEL
CLANS AND FRENCH.

Few responses have been made to
the appeal for old clothes for Belgians
and French sufferers behind the Ger
man lines that were as generous as
that which came from the chapter OF
the Red Cross at Kirkville. The var
ious outlying chapters have responded
in varying amounts. but 1t remained
for the KirkvilleJ people to show how
much they were willing to do for the
sufferers.
Autoes laden with clothing, and bed
ding arrived at the headquarters, Mar
ket and Commercial streets. this morn
ing and the character Of the articles
brought was better than ordinary.
They included comforters which were
entirely new having been made by
members Of the chapter, bedding of
various kinds and garments, hose and
shoes, all in good condition.
The various articles as they are
brought in or gathered from about the
city or county, are sorted out. Several
articles have had to be rejected but
the amount OF things that will be sent
will go far toward aiding the sufferers.
Several large packing boxes are being
filled with dresses, coats, trousers, I'M
derclothing for both sexes and all
ages, shawls. bed clothes OF all kinds
and much Of the goods turned over for
the cause look like they were taken
out of regular service or reserve use.
