SEAS

T HOJEH the war is virtu-
VI ally over it will be many
months and perhaps
years before our gallant boys
can be brought home. No one
can vet foresee what service
may still be in store for them.
Therefore the raising of the
united war fund must proceed
according to program. We will
be poor sports indeed if be-
cause of the fact our boys have
won the war we now leave
them without the comforts and
substantial aid provided by
the Y. NJ. c. A., the Salvation
Army. knights Of Columbus
and other agencies working at
the front.

REVIEWS REQUEST
FOR THE BAND
Secretary Want HUI Of the Chamber Of

for old Second Iowa Band
for Fourth.

Request was Made Some Time Ago but
was Deferred by Camp Dodge
Authorities.
CELEBRATION BEING PLANNED

Secretary Want HUI of the Chamber
of Commerce has renewed his request
for a return visit of the old Second
Iowa band, for a rousing Fourth OF
July celebration in Webster City.
Some time ago when application was
made, the Chamber of Commerce was
advised by the authorities at Camp
Dodge that it was too early to make
any promises to send out band on
that date, and suggesting that the ap-
plication be renewed in June.
The Chamber of Commerce expects
to be advised early next week relative
to the matter, and if the band can be
had, plans will be made for Fourth
of July celebration that will be long
remembered.

-W.S,S,
Scouts to Take Walnut Census.

In connection with the black walnut
census which President Wilson has
asked the Boy Scouts of America to
undertake, Henry S. Graves, chief of
the U. S. forest service, has written a
letter to the Boy Scouts explaining
why the need for the work is urgent.
"The tremendous forest resources OF
the United States" Colonel Graves
states in the letter, will undoubtedly
be very important factor in the win
ming of the war for the Allies. One of
the most essential timbers for war
purposes, as the president points out,
is the black walnut. With the eXcep-
ton of mahogany, which has to be i'm
ported and thus burdens the shipping
facilities of the country, no other wood
is so well adapted for airplane pro-
pellers.
"Since four or five propellers are re-
quired for each airplane and since
black walnut is scarce and only the
best grade can be utilized for this pur-
pose, it is important for the govern
ment to know Immediately the location
of all available supplies. Walnut is

This is in accordance with the law rec

To The Young Men of the State OF

Whereas, congress has enacted, and
the president has approved an act re-
quiring all young men who will have
attained the age of 81 years on June

Coal Week June 3.s.

The state fuel administration is
making every effort to impress upon
the minds of the coal consumers OF
the state the imperative necessity OF
summer storage of domestic coal to
prevent serious fuel famine in the
state next winter.
The zone systems bar much of the
eastern Goals upon which Iowa has
depended for considerable of its ton
mage. The government demands
place a heavy load on Iowa produc-
ton. 1t means that Iowa instead OF
producing slightly over nine million
tons as last year, must produce from
twelve to fifteen million this season.
Thirty millions is invested in Iowa
mines, employing nearly 10000 min
ers. AS an economic factor alone
they must be kept at high stage OF
efficiency. To supply the needs OF
the state these mines must be kept
going this summer full tilt. 1t is a
patriotic duty. Otherwise suffering
all over Iowa will result.
The u s. fuel administration has
designated the week Of June 3-S as
a special week for ordering fuel.

II believe that the Boy Scouts are
performing a most valuable patriotic
service in undertaking this work. Let
me urge you to impress upon the
farmers of the country the Importance
of properly conserving their forests
and especially propagating such valu-
able species as the black walnut
which has appropriately been called
the Liberty Tree"
There is considerable black walnut
timber hereabouts. Some of it is grow
ing promiscuously in the woods, but
much of it is in groves planted by
many farmers on their land. 1t is the
of the government to ask the
Boy Scouts to list all this wood in
order that it may get an intelligent
idea of the available supply on hand
over the country.

This was the message that made
Mr.. and Mrs. Jewett catch their
breath when it was delivered to them
about $3.50 Thursday evening. 1t
was sent from Hampton, Virginia,
after silence of four weeks. The
telegram indicates that their younger
son Arthur has made his first trip
across the Atlantic, but it is not yet
known whether he visited France or
England. He is on a war vessel en-
gagged in conveying troops.
Arthur enlisted in the navy some
months ago and after completing a
training period at the Great Lakes
Naval Training school spent a fur
Tough with his parents here. Shortly
after returning to Chicago, his par
ents learned he was to go on active
duty. Since then they had not heard
from him until yesterday. He enlist
ed as yoeman in the service.
Clifford, the older son of the
Jewetts, enlisted in the same branch
of the service some time after his
brother and is in the officers train
ing school at the Great Lakes station.
He has already passed his examina-
tions for second class seaman and is
now on the boat, Essex, on the Great
Lakes. His student period will cover
three months, when he expects to be
made captain of small boat.
The progress these young sailors
are making is satisfaction to all OF
their friends and a pride to their
father and mother, although theirs
has been quite a sacrifice, having
both their children enter the service
at so early an age.

A Peculiar Prank Of Wind.

Two weeks ago, during heavy wind,
a hay rack at the Fred Smith farm,
three miles west and mile north of
this city, was blown off the wagon and
over into an oat field about seven rods
away. Mr.. Smith, not wishing to
tramp down the oats, left it there. But
during the high wind Wednesday,
night, the wind picked up the rack and
blew it out of the field, setting it down
beside the wagon from which it was
blown.
