BODY MISSENT
REMAINS OF EDWARD j. CARL
son AT ETHAN, AWAITS
RELATIVES.

Ethan, Oct. 22.-Who was Edward
j. Carlson? The body OF a soldier
bearing this name is being held at
Ethan pending definite information
as to the name and place of residence
of his relatives. sos
u Only a few days ago David Carlson
living near Ethan. met and escorted
to the grave the body of Ephraim
Johnson, a cousin. who had died at
Fort Riley, Kan. Therefore, he was
greatly surprised when he received a
telegram stating that his cousin had
passed away and that the body was
being SEN to Ethan for interment.
He was all the more puzzled, for
Ephraim Johnson was the only cou-
sin he had who had been assigned to
Fort Riley.
In due time the body of Edward
j. Carlson arrived at Ethan in charge
OF an attendant, who had been sent
to escort the remains of the dead sol
der to Ethan, his supposed home at
the time of entering the military
service. 1t developed that no person
of that name was on the registration
list from either Hanson or Dawson
counties, and accordingly the body oil
the soldier is being held pending the
receipt of instructions from Fort
Riley.

THREE YANKEES
WIN HIGH HONOR
Decorated As chevaIier of Legion

SHOW NERVE AND DARING
Lieutenant Bender Faces Hun Barrage
to Discover Whether Germans Were
Hurting Gas shells1captain Cook,
Wounded, Leads His Men for Two
Hours Under Heavy Fire-cay-
giIps Heroic Deed. \.

1t took nerve and plenty of it, to
perform the feat that won Second
Lieutenant Daniel w. Bender, one of
the first decorations as Chevalier of
the Legion of Honor awarded an
American by the French.
Bender was gas officer Of a battalion
during the heavy fighting in the Forest
de Retz, on the Marine front, on July
Is. The Germans were laying over
a terrific bombardment. There was q
suspicion that the torrent of high ex-
plosives from the enemy's guns CON
tanned also a mixture of gas Shells,
Thick smoke filed the forest, neutral
izing any odor that might have eman-
ated from poisonous shells.
Situation Is Dangerous.
The situation was extremely dam
gerous. Bender volunteered to find
out whether or not a shells were
coming over and deliberately left COW
er and walked about exposed ground
in search of German 'duds'-shells
that had failed to explode. He found
two "duds," coolly examined both
while a German barrage was raking
the forest, and sent back his report.
A bursting shell wounded him as he
ross to continue his search, but he
made his way On through the under
brush, looking for more unexploded
shells until he was wounded a second
time and fell In a faint through loss
of blood. When he regained con-
seriousness he sent word back to his
battalion commander. explaining his
failure to return.
1t was In the same battle that Capt.
e. A. Cook of New York city, won the
same decoration. Cooks citation
reads as follows:
after being severely wounded he
retained command of his company and
CALAMITY led his men more than two
hours under heavy artillery and ma.
chine gun fire. His company being
depleted. he went to the rear for re.
endorsements and brought them uI
into position himself and did not re
turn from the lines until forced to dC
so through exhaustion caused by the
loss of blood"
Deed Of Gallantry.
The citation of First Lieutenant
Harry w. Caygill, who was also mad,

STOCK COMPANIES OFFERING
FAKE SECURITIES FOR LIZ
EisTY BONDS.

Sioux City, Oct. 22.-A recent in
vestigAtion which has been conducted
BY state officials has revealed that
the people OF western Iowa are being
swindled out OF thousands OF dollars
~ promoters OF various kinds of blue
sky propositions.
The farmres In particular are be-
ING fleeced by fake stock statesmen
who influences their victims to be-
lieve that the stock which they are
offering Ii worth more than the Lib
erty bonds which the victim was
forced" to buy. The sale of the
worthless security depends more on
the salesman's ability to make his
victim anxious to unload his Liberty
bonds than on the merits Of the prop
osition which he is promoting, 1t is
said.
This new form OF swindle has be-
come 30 popular In Sioux county that
the council of defense is threatening
drastic action IL it continues. while in
Crawford county state agents. IL is
said, have recovered and returned to
the former $500, 900 worth of
Liberty bonds which they had trad
"a for worthless securities.
The trading OF stock for govern
ment bonds IL being practiced by all
most all stock statesmen, 1t is said,
No objection is being made by the
authorities In the cas- of legitimate
propositions providing that the sales
men do not attempt to ~depreciate the
value Of Liberty bonds in making the
deal. Proomters of fake oil stock
are chief among those which are ac-
tually swindling the public. 1t is
said.

1T NEEDS FIXING

The Staples World announces that
the experience Of the recent primary
election has convinced it that the
law needs tinkering, if not repeating.
The World says:
Would it have been possible under
the caucus system for socialist like
Tow1sley 70 come into Minnesota and
so nearly succeed in forcing disloy-
al man like Lindbergh upon another
party as that party's candidate for
governor? Nothing so ridiculous
would ever have been attempted.
The editor of the World has always
been opposed to political bosses and
their questionable methods of doing
business, and was therefore among
the first to favor the direct primary
system. It has taken this Townsley-
Lindbergh deal to furnish convinc-
ing proof that with all its faults the
caucus system was not half so dan
gerous to the welfare of the state,
hence the reason for advocating at
this time a return to some sort of
caucus representation by parties, pos
sibly safeguarded by some different
form of a primary election from
chat now in vogue. Some new meth
cd should be well thought out before
another session of the legislature.
Then see to it that the necessary le-
gisla.ion for it's adoption is enacted.
Even a repeal of the primary law
in toto and return to the old sys-
tenn with all its faults is preferable
to the present abortion. We must
have parties and those parties must
be in position to select their own can
didates for office. Granting the one
proposition, the other is too selfev-
ident to call for further argumenta-
ton.

LET WOMEN SHOW

A tender point in German suscep.i-
bilities has been utilized by the
League for the Protection of Ameri-
can Prisoners in Germany, which rep
presents a new movement emanating
from The academic atmosphere Of
Berkeley, Cal. In proposing to es-
tablish household counterpart of
the provisional boycott of German
trade suggested last year by the
Chamber of Commerce of The United
States, unless American prisoners in
Germany receive proper treatment,
the league finds a field for requital
in which serious warnings may bring
results. The pledge, to which several
thousand women covenanters are
said to have appended their sigma
lures, reads: 81 do hereby pledge my
self to refrain from buying German
made articles after the war, if Amer
can prisoners of war receive other
than human treatment at the hands
of the Germans" with the admoni-
tory appendix "Let history record

the newspapers so insignificant that
it has almost passed unheeded. The
size of the item was altogether on.
of proportion to it's Importance. The
single paragraph was to the effect
that The swinging bridge over the
Suez Canal at Ell Kantara, about
thirty-fve miles south Of Port Said,
had been completed. Yet that bridge
affords direc. railway communication
between Cairo and the cities of Pal

which has for centuries barred the
march of nations; i. joins Asia to
Africa; and it assures the world that

THEN ALL PAID US!

Sister Dare of the esteemed Walk
er Pilot, says editorially, that it takes
politician to really find out that
there is such a thing as gratitude.
We move to amend by stating that
the average politician wouldn't rec
ognize Gratitude if he met i. walk
ing down the street, a fact to which
the average country editor can swear.
Before election the country editor
"ban hal fine fellar"; after the votes
are counted, the successful politician
doesn't know the editor, while the
unsuccessful one forgets-a. least at
times-to pay his printing and adj
vertising bills. A candidate for
county office over in Redwood county
has been owing the present publisher
of The Globe fifteen dollars ever
since the primary election held in
1902. Talk about gratitude; if the
country editor could get what's COM
ing to him, from politicians, in dol
lars an. cents, he would let gratitude
go hangs
go hang.-A. M. Wellesin, Worthing

that the President had discovered the

different from any heretofore ascrib-

a corruption of the Choctaw word
