S.0OO MEN CALLED
FOR MILITARY DUTY:
LOCAL BOARD GETS CALL FOH
LARGE NUMBER OF MEN FOR
}' NEXT DRAFT.
TAKES AT LEAST 40 FROM CO.
Men Will Leave Here Four Day Per.
iOd September 3rd. Limited
Service Men Called.

The Local Board received bulle-
tin Tuesday evening which calls g.
900 men for general military duty in
Iowa These men will be taken from
Glass One, and will entrain during
the three day period commencing Sep
tember 3rd. The adjutant generals s
office has not announced the quotas
by counties at this time, but figured
on the basis of former calls the To-
cal board feels confident that it will
take at least forty men from Class
One in Delaware County. Glass One
of the 1917 draft has been virtually
SO that practically the en-
tire quota will have to be taken from
Glass One of the 1918 registrants.
Limited Service Men Called.
The Local Board also received q
call for limited service men to be en-
trained for Camp Pike, Arkansas, dur
ing the three day period of September
3rd. Iowa is asked to furnish 600
limited service men, and these will be
among the different To-
cal Boards according to the number
of men In Glass One, Group c, held
by the boards In Iowa. The Local
Board is inclined to believe that this
call may take four or five men from
the country.

HEARING is POSTPONED.

|, The preliminary hearing in the case
Iof w. F. Drummy VS.. Edward Trainor,
RE. Henderson, Harry McCree, John
Clark, William Ammeter and Lloyd
Sheppard has been postponed from
last Thursday evening to Monday
morning, August 26th at nine o'clock.
The hearing will be had before JUS
tice M. E. Blair in the court room.
w. f. Drummy charges the boys
NAMED as defendants with attempt
Ing to break and enter building in
which he had stored valuable proper
|ty. 1t appears that. the case is the
outgrowth Of painting episode, In
sdulged in by the boys, and when they
lentered the Drummy premises full
fledged fistic encounter ensued in
which one of the Drumy boys was
considerably pounded, while one or
two of the boys who helped spread
paint were also beaten up. The boys
gave bonds in the sum Of $1,000.
A continuance of the hearing was
asked by A. NJ Cloud, who represents
the boys, in order that sufficient time
9can be had to subpoena the necessary
witnesses.
Considerable interest is manifested
lin the case, and it is quite likely that
the citizens of Ryan will turn out in
large numbers at the hearing next
Monday morning.

ATTENDING IMPORTANT MEETING
IN DES MONIES. ...

A. D. Long went to DeS MOines on
Monday evening to attend a meeting of
and business men, call
ed by the governor of the state, to
consider the labor problem as it per-
tains to the state. The government is
calling for more than 1900 unskilled
workmen for construction work which
is under way and is highly necessary
to further the war aims Of the coun-
try. These unskilled laborers are be-
ing taken to the cities where are To-
Gated large munition plants, etc, and
this naturally will drain the state of
this class Of labor Manufacturers in
Iowa also are about to register a Wig
orous protest with the government re-
garding the placing of war orders with
concerns outside of the state to the
exclusion of many manufacturers in
Iowa. The governor of Iowa has call
ed a meeting of manufacturer and reps
resentative men from every industry
in Iowa to take up this important mat
er which is confronting the state.
According to the apportionment
of labor quotas by counties, as an
nounced by H. J. Metcalf, state direc-
tor of United States Public Service
Reserve, Delaware county is asked to
furnish S6 unskilled workmen. The
men wanted under this call are need
ed for construction work at Norfolk,
Virginia, and white men between the
ages of twenty and fifty-five should
apply.

! ,hould not be confused with the pro-
50sed bill now before congress which
Twill change the age limit OF regis
Itrants, SO as to include all men from

with the men who have reached the

HISTORICAL PICTURES

A number of historical pictures are
being shown in the windows of Gild-
ner Brothers store. They are dupli-
Gates Of pictures which are now hang
ing on the walls Of practically every
recreation center of the Y. M. c. A.
or knights of Columbus wherever any
of our boys are located in camps or
cantonments.
The pictures are small reproduc-
ti0ns in color Of originals which were
painted for Hart Schaffner & Marx,
and new issue of them has been
printed by that company chiefly as
contribution to make more attractive
the canteen and recreation centers for
our boys. ...., ..
The pictures show Francis Scott
Key as prisoner on board ship when
he wrote "The Star Spangled Ban
ner:" Troops passing ST. Gauden's
Statue of Lincoln; Betsy Ross Offer
ing the first American Flag in its
present form. Needless to say, the
pictures are Of unusual interest at
a time like this and Gildner Brothers
are to be congratulated on having
them.

WHEAT FIELDS FALL INTO HANDS
OF ALLIES.

Among the numerous news dispatch
es from Paris relative to the big drive
by the allies on the western front
comes one which tells of large wheat
fields falling into the hands of the al
lies. The dispatch, sent by one Of the
correspondents of the Chicago Tri-
bune, says:
'One happy result of the allied adj
vance has been the robbing of the
Germans of the harvest in the recon-
quered region. This region had been
planted by the French originally, but
when the German spring drive came
the French were driven from their
homes and fields.
"The Germans took care not to dis
turb the growing crops and had been
making every preparation to harvest
them when the allied push came. The
|severest penalties had been provided
against the German soldiers for pick
ing wheat in order to toast 1t or for de-
stroyingT it.
"a general order issued July 18th
showed that all was in readiness to
gather the crops and carry them off
Ito Germany. But at this point the
allies stepped in and drove the Ger
mans out, and now are doing the har-
vesting themselves.
"Fifty thousand acres OF wheat in
the Aisne and $4,000 acres Of wheat
in Disc and Somme have been rescued
in this way The total makes about
1, 100000 bushels that are being gath
cred by the French in these recon-
querel portions"

the aid of trowel or spade. The
soil thus obtained from the various
portions of the field is thereby mixed
and about one pint is selected for the
test. In like manner obtain other
samples from the various fields.
Poultry Exhibitors.
The officers of the Fair society have
made arrangements whereby they can
supply coops free of charge to all poul-
try exhibitors. At the time the pre-
MUM books were printed the officers
had not been able to locate sufficient
coops hence the announcement in the
books that poultry exhibitors would be
obliged to furnish their own -coops.
This new arrangement will be greatly
by the poultry exhibitors.

COMMERCIAL CLUB MEETS.

Inc regular meeLluS OIL the MAIL
chester Commercial club was held in
the Bowen restaurant Monday even
ing, and was attended by quite a num-
ber of the members. Following the
dinner President A. J. Gildner called
the meeting to order and after the
reading of the minutes Of the pre-,
vious meetings c. G. Yoran gave
report Of the meeting of Commercial
Club secretaries of Iowa held at Clear
Lake Iowa, last week. Mr.. Yoran at
tended the sessions of the meeting and
gained much valuable information
from the noted men who attended the
conference. Topics of vital Importance
to commercial clubs were discussed by
by some of the most widely Known
men in the country, Mr.. Yoran's re-
port Of the meeting sproved very inter-
esting to those present, and some of
the ideas advanced at that meeting
will be put into oEeration in the local
club. One of the principal features
brought out at the meeting was that of
enlarging the scope of operation of
the commercial clubs Of the country.
Instead of being an organization to
further the interests of the towns and
cities the clubs should aim to build
up the entire community rural as we'll
as municipal, and in this way achieve
the real purpose of such organizations.
A committee consisting of c. G. Yoran,
H. w. Phenicie and J. F.. Krall was
appointed to consider ways and means
of perfecting or working out such a
system whereby the local club will be
able to operate on such basis.
The matter of urging the sale of the
season tickets for the coming fair was
explained by Secretary E. w. Williams.
During the coming week the sale of
these tickets will be pushed and it is
hoped that fair patrons will avail
themselves of this opportunity to Sc
cure these season tickets. The sale
of season tickets closes Saturday even
ing August 31st. The tickets sell for
$500 and are transferable. These
tickets are conveniently arranged for
the afternoon and evening sessions,
and by buying the coupon book the
purchaser can save one dollar. All the
merchants and the banks have sup
ply of tickets on hand. II you want
to save d dollar on your gate admis'
sion buy one of these coupon tickets.
