PRIZE WINNING QUILT

The beautiful quilt which was
pieced by Grandma Barton and donat
ed to the Red Cross. was sold by
number at the County Fair and
brought in the goodly sum of twenty
seven dollars, /. A. Taylor, being the
lucky winner. The proceeds going to
swell the ambulance fund Of the Red
Cross. Mr.. Taylor re-dOnated the
quilt and it was sold again on Satur
day evening and brought six dollars
more. Mrs. Barton, who made the
quilt, is ninety-one years of age and
the careful manner in which the quilt
has been made is evidence that Mrs
Barton is in full possession of most OF
her faculties. 1t is very seldom that
one lives to such a ripe age and has
the ability to perform work of this
kind in such a perfect manner. The
Register congratulates Mrs. Barton
on this evidence of her youthfulness
and extends the thanks of the ambu'
lance fund to all those who helped ia
swell the fund for the purchase oil
this memorial to the county and neces
sary aid to the work on the front.

WHO MUST GO NEXT

The dispatches from Washington
indicate that it will be the policy of
the war department to call in the Oc-
tober draft after the present list is
exhausted, the men between 10 and
20, and those between 80 and SO.
Such a statement has been issued and
it would look reasonable that this
would be the program. Question
naires are to be sent to men of these
ages first and local boards will be or
dcred to classify them at once 90
use in the October calls. 10000 of
the men under twenty can be induct-
ed into the S. A. T. c. as the strength
of that corps is authorized at that
number. AS there should be at least
5000, 900 under twenty register, it does
not provide for all of the younger
men to be indicted into college
courses. AS far as the exemption of
men on account of employment in es-
sential industries, it has been pointed
out that the preferred class Of the
priority board, as to fuel, would be a
good rule to go by in passing on the
claims of the men SO applying.

FORTY THOUSAND

TO MAKE A WORLD BREAKING RECORD

| Big Subscriptions

Early Saturday morning, Septem
Der 2Sth, forty thousand citizens O.
the Ninth Federal Reserve Distric
will start to secure the loan of ap
proximately two hundred million dol
lars for Uncle Sam.
Quite a little organization" is the
way in which Chas. 4. Van Nest, di
rector of organization for the Ninth
district speaks Of the civilian army
that will carry the districts f1ag
lover the top" in the Fourth Liberty
Loan drive.
"They are getting ready in every
county" said Mr.. Van Nest. 1.-The
patriots are not all in France and
thousands of men are giving their
time. money and best efforts in pre-
pairing to sustain the northwest's rep.
~utation for prompt and generous re.
spouse to the country's call for fnan.
cial aid.
"The results of this wonderfully
united effort were seen in the record
made during the Third Liberty Loan
drive and we did not more than really
get started last spring. This time we
will do a much better job, more quick
ly. My prediction is that eighty pei
cent of the two hundred and eighty
eight counties in this district will re
port an over-subscription by Saturday
night. This may sound somewhat op
timistic, but we know the men who
are going to do this job and the spirit
in which they are going to do it. They
are going to surprise the United
States and hand a real jolt to the
kaiser.
Because we are going to raise this
immense sum of money in five days
while other districts may take weeks
to accomplish a similar result, does
not NEAR that we have an easy tasl
or that two hundred million dollars
are laying idle in this district waiting
for the governments call. 1t means
that we have an army of patriotic mer
who have worked out a complete anC
scientific plan of organization. With
this organization perfected as it will
be before the opening of the drive
the great majority Of individuals in
the district will have been shown
their duty and will do it promptly"

SENDS HOME WAR RELIC

J. L. Murphy of the Pleasant Hour
and the Farmers National Bank, has
received from his brother, NJ. j. Muir
ply, now in France with the Red
Cross, a German helmet taken in the
fight of the Germans from their po-
sitions in France. 1t is not very
heavy, but lack of weight does not
make it a very handsome headpiece.
1t came through the mails with the
address pasted on it and arrived in
good conditions for a battle relic.
Matt is now in charge of the branch
headquarters at Bordeaux Of the Red
Cross and seems to be doing good
work for that great institution. His
letters display great enthusiasm for
the work and with his well known
ability he Is no doubt showing what
q western man can do when he has
the chance.

LOCAL PHYSICIAN CALLED

DR.. B. T. Green yesterday morning
received a telegram from the war de-
partment that he was appointed cap
tain in the Medical Corps, and in
structed to report to the commanding
general at Camp Grant, Rockford,
ILL.,, for assignment to duty at the base
hospital located there, within ten
days. In the mail on the same morn
ing he also received notice that he
had been elected a fellow of the
American College of Surgeons. This
is the highest rank that a surgeon
in the United States can receive. and
the honor was only granted four years
after DR.. Green had applied for men,
bership. This is an association of
surgeons that corresponds in stand
ing with the Royal College Of Sur
geons in England and a fellowship Is
only granted after a rigid ~investisa-
ton. 1t was under the auspices of
this society that Doctor Green made
his visit to the clinics of Europe four
years ago and had the advantage Of
seeing the work of foreign surgeons.
These two honors coming to the doc
tor in the same day are a compliment
not only to him, but to Brookings.
He plans to leave the city within
eight days and will turn over his
practice to DR.. Gulbrandsen, who has
been associated with him in the same
Offices. Brookings wishes DR.. Green
all the success in his patriotic work
that it is possible for him to have
and trusts that they will welc"" him
back to his home in .ocy IN

1t is impossible to give such a re-
view OF the county fair as we would
like as the secretary has not made
any report of the attendance and the
after the fair to get out such state
ments. The exhibits were all of them
small in comparison with the years
before we entered the war, and some
people are inclined to attribute all OF
this difference to that cause. Search.
ty of help and high cost of what was
o~btainable no doubt had a great deal
to do with the lack of stock exhibits,
especially among the horses and
swine. The poultry exhibit was not
as large as usual, but the class OF
birds was positively unexcelled for
quality. Several judges of poultry
who have seen other shows this year
stated that the fineness of the birds
was very noticeable, and as a conse.

the state he had not seen as good a
collection of birds. In the agricultur-
al and fruit building there was not
the usual display. but as reported last
week, the corn exhibit was exception
ally fine for grade and early maturity.
The booths of two separate canning

Reports from the four wards of the
city show that the registration OF
men for selective service is going on
rapidly. Numbers registered cannot
be learned, but they were ready as
soon as the registrars were open for
business at seven o'clock. Every man
liable seems ready and willing to get
his name down early. Reports from
the country indicate that the same
interest prevails. 1t is expected from
the way the registration starts that
the county will be able to register the
1000 men who are estimated to be
liable for registry.

and "The Brooklyn Daily Eagle" were Of

"The German workers desire more democ-

thing like the anarchy under which Russia
suffers. Bolshevik precept must be greatly
discounted in Germany by Bolshevik ex-

Only few of the editors drew distinctly
optimistic conclusions. "The Albuquerque

ginning of the end," and "The Wisconsin

press was at a critical moment on General
Nivele. To recall the parallel should be
sufficient
Comment in the American press at this
writing leans heavily toward hearty sup
port OF the conclusions Of the council.
Even "The Philadelphia Public LEDGER"
which sees in the councils reply great
tribute to the efforts of the BolshevilSj
at Brest-Litovsk, approves the decision:
"Allied craftsmanship, has won another
signal victory. The supreme war council at
Versailles has again disappointed the Bis
marcktaught diplomacy OF Berlin by taking
a stand which will rally behind it not only
every Allied nation but every sane section
of opinion in every Allied nation"

ble," is the view of "The Boston Tran

impatient with statements of "war aims
exclaims:

The statement means what it says or moth

clusion Of peace based on the principles Of
freedom, justice ard respect for interna-
tional law. The council arrived at COM
plete unanimity Of policy on measures for
the prosecution OF the war"
Aside from this significant notice of AL
lied determination to fight on, one should
add the fact that America was not repre-
sented at the conference in political way
save by Paris embassy representative as
reporter. However, it was rumored that
a Cabinet member from Washington
might soon 60 to France for future con-

was further unoficially stated at Wash

regarding the Teutonic peace utterances
did not commit the American government

That the statement of the council will
cause trouble is the hint from England.

AS to the political significance of the
movement, it's relation to revolution or
war policy, "Thc New York Times" ad-
vised rush to no rash conclusions either
way, but note the course of events without
optimism or pessimism." The Evening
Sun" was distinctly skcptical as to the po-
litical aims of the strikers, declaring:
"They show no signs of following Mr.. Will
sons suggestion and putting off their heaven
bestowed rulers. 1t may be doubted whether
they entertain any definite idea even of back
ing the Entente peace proposals."
"The Providence Journal" was decidedly
pessimistic:
"The folly of expecting an uprising of the
German people against their government is
emphasized in the latest accounts of the do
mestc situation in the empire The feeble
proposal Of a general strike hangs fire"
"The Columbus Dispatch" thought the

Evening Telegram" "The Providence

Daily News" for its attitude.
In "The Philadelphia Public Ledger"
the Allied statement is criticised as ere
buke to Wilson" by Isaac Don Levine:
'The declaration Of the Allied Supreme
War Council at Versailles is perhaps the
eliminating point of the disastrous diplom-
acy Of the Western European democracies.
1t is not only blow at the STRINGS Of de-
mocracy in Austria and Germany at mo-
needed encouragement and stimulus urgently,
but it also nullifes to great extent the
stiffening effect that the revolutionary
strikes in the Central Powers have had on
the Russian Bolsheviki and creates the pos
sibility of the complete Russian submission
to the Pan-German peace terms.
"'The joint Allied statement also further
increases the chasm between Russia and the
Allies being at the same time an indirect
rebuke to President Wilson and an attempt
to wrest the leadership of Allied policy from
his hands,
German reactions to the Paris state
ment are to the effect that again the
Allies have demonstrated their intention
to crush Germany.
