Boone.
Saturday afternoon three barns on
the alley between Crawford and Mo-
mona streets, were destroyed and the
E. H. Brady residence, 1921 Carroll
street, badly damaged by fire. The
origin of the fire is not known, but it
started in the barn on the property
where the Guy Wilcox family had been
living, I'LL Crawford street. Earnest
Carlson is owner of the property. The
blaze rapidly spread and the fire de-
partment was hindered in its work by
the fact that the alarm was not given
to the water works Immediately and
for some time there was no pressure.
The barn on the w. E. Zimbeck prop
erty, 1121 Crawford street, was de-
stroyed. A. Better was living at the
residence here and E. J. Young occu-
pied the residence on the Frank Slocum
property. I'LL Monona street, where
the barn was also destroyed.
Tara.
Fire of unknown origin destroyed the
barn and granary at the L. LONDON
farm near Tara early Sunday morning.
| The loss which is only partially covered
!, by insurance is estimated at $4,000. The
flames were discovered by Miss Lucy
London, teacher in the Wahkonsa
school, who was spending Sunday at
her home a little after o'clock. The
wind was blowing south and it seemed
for time as tho all the buildings on
the place would be destroyed. AS there
was no phone at the London home it
took some time to arouse the neighbors
to their assistance. AS the water sup
| ply was limited to that drawn from a
we'll, it was slow work fighting the
flames. Most of the efforts were spent
in trying to save the house and other
buildings. Men and women worked
valiantly and after several hours Of
hard labor the IRE was sxtinguished.

Des Moines, May s.-State secret
service men had worked a follow up
system in liberty bond solicitations
and secured practically $4,000 in sub
scriptions from parties who had turned
down the regular solicitors.
H. V. Yackey. Of Harlan, secret
service man, sold $50 bonds to seven
teen Austrlans who were working on
3 railroad in western Iowa altho the
Austrians are allen enemies in the
eyes of the law. All the men paid cash
for their bonds. Greek railroad labor
ers subscribed promptly and literally,
paying cash for 500 bonds in several
instances. One Serbian in a railroad
gang seemed glad Of an opportunity to
buy.
In Boone Audubon, Shelby and Page
counties Yackey and Roscoe Saunders
went after wealthy farmers and others
who had turned down liberty loan
solicitors and to some of them sold as
much as $4,000 worth Of bonds as
we'll as secured subscription to the
Red Cross.
Siackers Rounded Up.
One wealthy Page county farmer
when he heard that the secret service
man was looking for him to induce
him to buy liberty bonds went down to
Blanchard and crossed the Missouri
line. Yackey followed him down there
and when the fellow declared he
couldn't buy and. anyway he was in
Missouri and not in Iowa Yackey toid
him differently The man bought and
bought literally.
The. local liberty loan solicitors had
the facts as to what these men were
worth financially and they were not
allowed to evadc their duty.
The secret service men have also
been Selling considerable -four and
sugar which was boarded in various
parts of the state.

loyolty against him. Hermann is re-
puted to be worth $4,000 and owns
$50 acres of land in Jasper county. He
was born in Germany and is now fifty
years old. Hermann did not buy H.
berty bonds of the first and second
issue and only bought this last issue
after he had been called upon by a
vigilance committee. Then he sub
scribed to $1,000 worth.

SAGE TEA DARkENS
HAIR TO ANY SHADE
Don't stay Gray! Here's an
Old.time Recipe that Any.
body can Apply.

The use Of Sage and Sulphur for re.
storing faded, gray hair to its natural
color dates back to grandmother's time.
she used it to keep her hair beautifully
DARK. glossy and attractive. Whenever
her hair took on that dull, faded or
streaked appearance, this simple mixture
was applied with wonderful effect.
But brewing at home is mussy and
out-of.date. Nowadays, by asking at
any drug store for a so cent bottle Of
Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Compound"
you will get this famous old preparation,
improved BY the addition of other in
gradients, which can be depended upon to
restore natural color and beauty to the
hair. >
well.known downtown druggist says
1T darkens the hair so naturally and
evenly that nobody can tell it has been
applied. You simply dampen sponge
or soft brush with it and draw this
through your hair, taking one strand at
time. By morning the gray hair dis
appears, and after another application or
Two, it becomes beautifully dark and
glossy.

Training Little Children
BY Mrs. Stella Clapsaddle

pleasure and profit to a child. Sug-
gest that he begin by drawing some
thing with which he is perfectly IA
miliar. In the kindergarten the lit
tie child generally wants to draw
a ball, which he can make with a
simple rotary motion. It very soon
occurs to him to make two balls on
his piece of paper, perhaps two large
balls, or one large one and one small
one. Because the ball he plays with
has string attached to it, he may
next add string to his drawing.
Then someone discovers that it is pos
sible to use different colors, one for
the ball and one for the string. And,
marvellous discovery, turned upside
down the balls with their strings are
like flowers on stems. 1t is not sur
prising to see the next step quickly
follow, of adding little leaves to the
stems. After this perhaps bird or
butterfly may be included in the
drawing, and so on. These are mere
ly suggestions as to how to help his
vague beginnings to become definite
objects.
Stringing beads, buttons, seeds
spools, or anything else which can be
strung will always hold the child's
interest, and familiarize him with
color, form and number, separately
and in combination. A long bodkin
is a good needle for this purpose.
With little time and ingenuity
spent in getting these various occu-
pations started, any mother can di-
rect the activities or her child into
many educational channels, and sup
ply the imperative need which the
child feels for self-expression.

the Swiss border. We were here about
three weeks and then went to Gonde-
court, France. This was just back
of the lines and we were here till the
last of May. Nearly five months We
then came down to Langres, France.
That is where we are now and we
have spent six months in this spot.
We have been in no fighting or have
not been in the trenches but we were
in danger at Gondecourt. We were
in a horseshoe front and only one
way to escape. We were right in
the center of the horseshoe and the
Germans had us aanked on three
sides. If the Boche had ever launch
ed on offensive at either point we
would have been prisoners. The Huns
aeroplanes used to come across every
night and we ran to the hills several
miles to keep from being blown up.
That is all passed and l am still safe.
When we came to Langres we made
big hit with a general and he never
let us leave but kept US here. We
have fine band and being among
the first over we thought we would
be getting home pretty quick. We
were told this week we were going
to move and it would be to a point
of embarkation on the west. We were
all wild and planning on getting
home. Well we packed up and got
ready to 60 today and the orders
came in. to go to Lyon (second larg-
est city of France). Here we will be
attached to the third army corps and
on account of being such good band
will be made brigade band. This gen.
eral | spoke of is down there is COM
mand of this brigade and he is or
dered to Germany to take command
of post. So tomorrow we leave for
Lyon. We will be there a week and
will soon move into Germany. 1t is
tough to lose out on going home as
this brigade is part of the third army
corp designated to be the Army of
Occupation, but all Of the boys in
this outfit are the ones who have
done the fighting and it is quite an
honor to be the selected band to go.
I will get to see lot and although
l can't plan on home soon it is for
the best. .a,.a q
