j. H. Meyer escaped serious in
jury yesterday afternoon when the
Ford roadster he was driving and
a Buick touring car, driven by
William Hosting came together a
short distance out of town, on the

Ford sustained considerable injnries,
such as smashed tenders and run
ming board, one smashed wheel, a
bent axel etc. The Buick car also
had a bent axel and other slight
damage. 1t was indeed fortunate
that neither of the drivers were
injured more seriously than they

"sAUERKRAUT' NO MORE,
1t VIII Probably be Called Liberty
Cabbage IN the Future.

The federal food board was made
aware of an alien enemy within its
jurisdiction when a delegation of
vegetable dealers called at the head
quarters of the board in New York
on Saturday and petitioned that
something be done at once to re-
move the pro-German stigma from
sauerkraut.
Owing to the prejudice that had
developed against the use of food
of such unmitigated German origin
the dealers maintained that great
stores of sauerkraut were about to
go to waste and that definite
measures should be adopted to dis
pei general impression that sauer-
kraut was not food fit only for
the kaiser.
Some of the dealers suggested
that the name of sauerkraut be done
away with, and that the antipathy
be avoided by calling it something
like Liberty Cabbage" or Picked
Vegetable" They maintained that
its consumption had decreased "a
bout IS per cent since this country
entered the war, and that there is
enough sauerkraut in stock at the
present time to feed a good sized
German army. The sauerkraut
dealers made an appointment for a
hearing with the federal food adj
ministrator and then departed to
compile statistics on the exact guam
tity of sauerkraut which they have
on their hands at present.
A. Joseph, spokesman for the
delegation, said:
Whats to be done in a case
of this kind? Sauerkraut is a good
food. 1t is quite true it is of Ger
man origin, but is is essentially an
American product as far as its con-
sumption in this country is concern
ed. There are immense quantities
of it which must go to waste If
something is not done to stimulate
consumption. Since we entered the

MAKE BIC BOOZE HAUL.
Two Truck Loads Disposed of in
Two Hours.

Waterloo, Ia, May 6.-Sheriff
D. B. Henderson seized two Repub-
lie truck loads of whiskey and beer
just outside of the city limits of
Waterloo at $50 o'clock Thursday
evening. The two men driving the
trucks were residents of East
Dubuque and asserted they were
bringing the cargo to a Waterloo
resident or rather residents.
Sheriff Henderson confscated the
booze which consisted of 46 cases of
beer, 6 large kegs of beer, Z
kegs of whiskey and a quantity of
small packages of whiskey. The
cargo was valued at about $4,000.
The two drivers, Geo. Granger and
Bernhard Crowder, asked that they
be given preliminary hearing
Immediately. Judge w. n. Bird
sail of the Municipal court held
Ia night session and assessed
S131 against each of the defendants
which they paid. They also signed
a confiscation order for the destroy
ing the booze. Sheriff Henderson
accompanied by several hundred
citizens, newspaper men and county
officials proceeded to the county
Jail and the show was on" The
prisoners in the Jail were requisi-
toned as executioners and the en-
tire quantity trickled down the city
sewers.
This is believed to be the largest
amount of whiskey ever seized in
Iowa. and also the quickest
court action and confiscation fol-
lowing. The entire matter was
settled in two and a half hours.

DRAFT EXEMPTION CAUSES
NEAR RIOT.
Mob Pants House of New Hamp-
ton Banker Who Gets EXemp-
ton for SOn-in-Law.


New Hampton, Ia, May Ga
near riot was broken up here by
special deputies assisting the sheriff,
when several hundred persons coat
ed the windows and doors of the
residence of A. II. Schaffer, a bank
er, with yellow paint last week. The
action is said to be the result of
the result Of the procuring of de-
ferred classification by Schaffer for
his son-in-law, Joe Miller, who was
married last fall.
Schaffer is reputed to be wealthy,
is president of the Second National
bank here and has other banking
interests in the vicinity. He is a
brother of w. d. Schaffer, who has
announced his candidacy for con-
gress from the fourth district.
Seven members of the mob that
painted Schaffer's house were ar
rested late last night and held in
Jail until today when they were re-
leased on bail. They are charged
with drunkenness and attempting to
imcite a riot. 1t is claimed by the
officers that. evidences of liquor was
found in the crowd.
Miller, who was to have been cal
led in the last draft, which left
New Hampton Monday, returned
recently from Louisiana to answer
the call but found that when he ar
rived here his father-in-law had
procured his exemption. A tele-
gram reported to have been sent
by Schaffer to Miller said that the
banker was unable to support his
daughter if Miller was called for
service.
Members of the local board are
reported to have asserted the dis
trict board placed Miller in class
2, instead of class 1 but this is
denied from other sources Miller
left town today.
Claude James Howard of Ionia
was taken by the draft board in
place of Miller in the last call.
Howard is the son of a widowed
mother, whom he is said to be
supporting. The young man refused
to claim exemption.
The men arrested were E. A.
Wallacer, held on four charges, and
Clarence Faber, Budd Smith, George
Smith, Charles Clenich, Alonzo Pom,
and Arthur Healey. George Smith
and Wallacer, are claimed by Off
GERS to have been leaders of the
mob.
Quiet is restored in town today
but feeling over the incident, on
both sides, is said to be running
high.

Bet War Stamps on Their Lives

This week we heard of a bet that
beats them all. On Monday morn
ing two of our citizens got to talk
ing on various subjects. Finally
the talk turned to length of life.
One of the parties was so vociferous
in his arguments that he would out
live the other that he finally wanted
to bet $1,000 that he would live
longer than the man with whom he
was arguing. Some talk was in
dulged in. Wordy blows were given
and taken until the quiet man of
the two suggested that he would
bet the other on condition that
each buy War Savings Stamps as
stakes and that the Stamps be left
in the hands of the bank from which
they were purchased, to be turned
over by that bank to the winner af-
ter the death of the loser. There Is
one redeeming feature to this bet
at least. Uncle Sam is going to
have the use of that twenty dollars
