mass meeting, attended by most OF
the business men of Independence, a
petition was started, urging the re.

most of the local men are in fever
of resentment
Wilson is regarded as Stacker, and
only recently his house was painted
yellow BY a band of enraged persons
when it was learned that he had been
exempted from militaryservice.
Yesterday a telegram from Camp
Cody, New Mexico, was received here
signed by twenty of the local boys
who are in the army denouncing Will
son and he person or persons who
signed his exemption claims.
Wilson, who is without dependents,
formerly was a county official. He
is now owner of p. farm, and it is
claimed he bought the farm to evade
army service.
The mass meeting today was the
result and thee outcome of the soldiers
telegram from Camp Cody.
Wilson was placed in class one, by
the local exemption board and the
deferred classification was granted by
the District Board on agricultural
claims.

GOING after CRIMINAL WASTE
Congress Worried About Money Mat
tiers and a House-CIeaning May
Be Looked For.

Washington, Feb. 27,--Congress is
worried about money and wants what
many of the legislators call criminal
waste" eliminated from the war gov
eminent.
Millions for victory but not one
cent for waste" is the slogan one of
the senators suggested today while
the sentiment has been rejecting in
both houses.
A number of the senators today
gave notice that they would urge the
appropriation committee to force the
striCtest economy on government bu-
reaus while Senator King is preparing
to introduce bill standardizing the
government salaries.
Senator Gallinger declared that
some of the men are drawing six
thousand dollars yearly in the gov
eminent salaries that could not earn
fifteen hundred elsewhere.
The Hog Island Scandal.
The recent disclosures at Hog ISL
and, which were announced some time
ago, the money spent for the printing
of huge quantities of useless docu-
ments at the government expense, and
the more kindred matters, is worry
ing the legislators and somewhat
stirring them.
"The government virtually demands
the people to sacrifice in the buying
of liberty bonds and war savings
stamps, one senator said. "The gov
eminent must see that this money goes
towards the beating of the kaiser and
not to enrich some persons for doing
almost nothing and expecting large
pay from Uncle Sam"
Busy On War Measures.
Both houses today continued grind
ing away on two most important war
measures.
The house was on its last lap of the
railroad control bill while the senate
was just getting started on the wal
finance corporation measure.
Senator Lodge of Massachusetts
spoke on the sugar and the coal in
yestigation which was named by the
senate manufacturing committee Of
which he is a member.

BUTCH EQUAL TO EMERGENCY
An American Sammie Called To Lead
In Prayer On First Visit
To Church
(By ]. w. PEGLER)

With the American EXpeditionary
Army, France-lt was one big sur.
prise for everyone in the machine gun
company when the chaplain at last
got Butch into the church for Sunday
services. Butch is rated pretty hard
hombre-honest, efficient and faithful
as they make them, but not very care
full about his language and more than
willing to scrap most anyone any time.
The chaplain gos 70 him one day as
Butch was splicing some harness for
one of the mules. His line was about
like this;
Now Butch, I'm going to ask you
TO come to church Sunday morning.
know you don't want to but | want
you to come as favor to me.
IF you were out selling tightening
rods you'd at least expect farmer
to let you put one'on his house for g
trial, if it wasn't going to cost him
anything.
Now we've been good friends ever
since | came to the regiment, haven't
we Butch?"
Butch admitted they had been. So
the chaplain persued his advantage.
Good" he said. Now I'm dealing in
an article which | claim will cure a
lot of troubles. I'm only asking you
TO try one sample-just one.
Well Butch was in church Sunday.
The chaplain had been called away
just before services and a visiting
chaplain occupied the pulpit. The rest
of the fellows seeing Butch up to the
front were glad to have him with
them.
The visiting chaplain looked out
over the congregation of freshly-shaV-
en- kahaki clad Sammies for some one
to lead in prayer.
Some how his eyes fastened on red
headed Butch setting only few feet
away.
The little congregation of Sammies
grew tense as they waited for the
chaplain to speak You could just feel
that he was going to call on Butch.
He did.
"Will the young man kindly lead us
in prayer" he asked.
Butch got UP. Every eye was on
him. Everyone wondered how he'd
make out, being called on like that
the first time he had been to church
for years.
But Butch was equal to the emery
ency.
Let us have five minutes of silent
meditation" said Butch.

CANDIDATE FOR REELECTION
Governor Harding Announces He Will
Again Ask Support of Friends
at the June Primaries

Des Moines, Feb. 27-Gov. w. l..
Harding has announced his candidacy
for a denomination on the Republican
ticket at the June primaries. In his
letter he says:
Whether | have measured up to
the exigencies and requirements of the
position now hold is a matter for the
people to decide. Shortly after my
induction into office our country be-
came involved in the greatest war the
country has ever known. During a
time of stress like the present the
governorship of a state resolves itself
into Wit responsibility that assumes
almost an international relationship
and the honors of the position, while
indisputable are secondary"
'1n this connection | would feel that
| had been remiss, did | not make
some acknowledgment of the self-sacri'
ficing and umstinted cooperation |
have received from the citizenry OF
Iowa. The generous response If our
people in men and means to ever call
made by the numerous federal agen
cies causes Iowa to stand out conspicu
ously among her, sister states. and
am deeply sensible of what ii means
to be governor of a commonwealth
that is marked by such intense, pa
triOtic loyalty"
