Robbery at Moorehead, iowa

Dope thieves staged wild raid
on the leading drug store at
Morehead, Iowa, early last Sun
day morning. They drove into
town in Ford, looted the drug
store and escaped in larger
machine, the property of one of
the local citizens. Ell
Ten gold watches, eight razors,
and all the cocaine, morphine and
other dope in the store, were la
ken.
They left their Ford which is
thought to ohave been previously
stolen.
Council Bluffs police were no.
tilted to be on lookout for them,
but the car did not pass through
this city. Advice from Sioux City
indicated that an automobile had
been located there, which may
prove to be the missing machine.

Earl Mason Promoted

Logan, Ia, May 27.--Lynn Dege,
with the army in France, in part
writes his parents at Logan as
follows: II saw Lawrence Hearn,
of Missouri Valley, and he had
seen Earl Mason and told me Of
quite an experience that Earl
had. He is driving a Coloners car
as you probably know and while
they were up at the front the car
became stuck in the mud, and the
Germans started Smelling it, a
piece of shell struck the Colonel
and cut into the juglar vein and
Mason held the cut together and
probably saved the Colonel's life.
He is now First Sergeant This
leaves the boys well:
1t will be remembered that Paul
Miller, Harlow Grosvenor, and
Fred Hardy and Lynn Dege are
among the Engineers.

Rod Cross Money to IS Turned IL.


Instructions were received this
morning from Red Cross Head
quarters that all funds held by
local chapters are to be turned in
on this present Red Cross drive.
For. instance the money received
from the recent Red Cross auc-
Ftion will be turned in on this fund
and each community turning in
such funds will receive the pro-
per credit at Washington
This money to be turned in
does not reduce our quota parti-.
Gle but it is an added donation
to the Red Cross Those in charge
realize that the money originally
asked for is not sufficient to
meet the needs of the organiza-
ton on account Of so many more
men being sent to France than
was originally planned and, in
place Of asking for additional
donations, The government is
asking that an finds held by the
local chapters such as our auc-

For the newspapers and your
own information, the following
message has been received from
Herbert Hoover:
j. F. Deems,
Burlington, la.
Reports have been circulated
that Food administration officials
state further, wheat conservation
lis not necessary. No statement of
the kind has ever been made. The
actual position is that our supply
until harvest will allow home con-
sumption Of approximately one
third normal, if we are to main
tain our supply to the Allies. In
the farmers hands and storage we
had, at the beginning of May, 49,
900, 900 bushels Of wheat to carry
Jus for approximately three
months, with an early harvest,
probably two weeks shorter. Our
normal consumption for three
months would be 100000, 900
bushels, not allowing the Allies
anything. j. F. Deems.

Other Men Are Giving Their Lives,
What Are You Givinu7

This is almost the end of the
Red Gross drive and, up to the
present time, the 800, 100000 as
ked by the Red cross has not
been fully subscribed. 1t will be,
when the campaign is closed,
there is no doubt about that, but
it should have been subscribed be-
fore this and telegram sent to
Washington from all over the
country asking the men in charge
if they need any more.
In this county, for instance,
there are Fifteen men in each pre-
cinct delegated with the powers to
solicit money for any drive that
The government may make. They
are, in fact, the representatives
Iof the government in this partic-
ular district. These fifteen men
have given literally of their time
and money to fix quotas in all the
drives so there would be no in
justice done and everyone would
be asked TO give only within their
means.
In the present Red Cross drive
it was decided that the people
were sufficiently informed so that
notices could be sent out and all
of our citizens could be depended
upon to7come to the various places
designated and give the small
amount asked of them. We are
glad to say that nearly all our cit
liens did respond nobly but there
are a few who failed to call.
Are you a Stacker? Did you fail
to heed the call of the War Ser
vice Council and will have to be
shown? The War Service Council
proposes to see that each one does
his or her part and if you did not
call at the designated place, or
make same adequate arrange
ments, a second notice will be sent
you or some of the committee will
call on you but it should not be
necessary to do this. Aren't you
as much interested in winning the
war as the members of the War
| Service Council? You oughtstO be
If you have disposition to LET
George do it, you are Sinking
your duty TO your government and
your fellow men.
When the government has a
| right to step in and take your son,
husband or brother into the army
they surely have right TO draft
your dollars and they are going to
do it. Don't make it necessary for
the committees to class you as a
| Stacker and then take your money
besides. Beat them to it and be
waiting for the doors to open
with your money in your hand. Be
an American, first, last, and all
the time.

SCHOOLS OPEN MONDAY
WITH FULL COAL BINS
Supt. Thurston Declares All D. G.
Institutions Will Be Supplied
With Sufficient Fuel.

Those schools of the District of Column
will be taken care of today and tomor-
row, and with full bins will be able to
open Monday with the rest of the school
system. This was the statement today
of Superintendent of Schools Ernest L.
Thurston, with regard to meeting the
shortage of coal in the District schools.
Many schools. particularly those on
the outer edges Of the city, are entirely
without coal. A report received here
yesterday states seventy-six schools
were without coal enough to keep them
said the superintendent.
Tuesday morning, according to re-
ports I received, it was seen many of
the schools would have to close because
of not having any coal. Rather than
close part of the schools, which would
cause possible disruption Of the sys-
tenn, and breaking into the curriculum,
| decided to close the entire system
and enable all the schools to catch up
with the coal situation"
The superintendent said he did not
now see any reason why closing of the
hext Monday, as by that time ali the
'chools will have on hand coal in suf-
ficient quantities to keep open for at
least a week. Amounts of coal rang
ing from five to twenty-five tons were
received at about twelve of the District
schools today. those which had run
shortest and those which had greater
heating space getting the most coal.
Hugh F. McQueeney, superinte endent
of janitors. said today that in all prob
ability all the schools would be sup
piled with enough coal to open as
scheduled.

Temperature During January.

Colder weather is in store for Wash
ington tonight, according to the fore
cast of the weather bureau. No more
snow is in sight, however, and general
ly fair weather for the next few days
is predicted.
From a possible decline Of 10 degrees
tonight the temperature will rise to-
morrow to tho highest point Of the
week, according to the bureau. A gen.
eral thaw will set in unless an unex-
pected cold wave comes, 1t was said.
Although street car traffic is grad
ually coming around to a wartime
normal, schedules were badly inter-
rupted on several lines this morning. A
plow terked loose on the Rock Creek
bridge line Of the Capital Traction Com
pany caused a tie-up of cars for several
passengers who remained on the cars
were carried downtown. Scores got
OF and walked to work.
The .1zth street limo had its tie-ups
as well, and there was some delay on
the Georgetown and Mount Pleasant
lines Of the Washington Railway and
Electric Company. Crews were sent
out yesterday by both companies to
shovel snow away from switches and
to clear the tracks OF snow deposited
The street-cleaning force continued
at work today. cleaning cutters in the
downtown section. Most Of the side
walks were reclaimed yesterday.
Arrival of trains at the Union sta
tion today was slow, but the delays
not SO serious as yesterday, when
southern passengers arrived in Wash
ington from five to fifteen hours be-
hind time.
Fair weather prevails over Virginia
and Maryland today, according to the
weather bureaus forecast. The cold
est tonight will be around 16 degrees,

Five Americans IN Belgium have
been denied by the German authorities
the right to leave that country and go
into Holland. The Spanish minister at
Brussels sent such Information to the
American minister at Tho Hague. who
today telegraphed the State Depart
ment. Inquiry into the detention is be-
ing made.
This case is tho first Of its kind re-
ported to the State Department and It
is believed tho German authorities in
Belgium. under tho impression that
Germans are being detained in the Unit
ed States, have taken the action as q
retaliatory measure.
