BUILDING PAINTED YELLOW.
People Near Traer Resent Deferred
Classification Of Young Farmer.


Classification Of Young Farmer.
Traer, March 2s.-One Of the
troublesome cases Of the army draft in
Tama county has been that of Abe
Lincoln, of Dysart. The mother is
widow with several sons. The family
lives in town, but they own several
farms which are superintended by Mrs.
Lincoln and her sons. Mr.. Lincoln was
drafted and the local board placed him
In Glass I, but the district board gave
him deferred classification.
The people here demurred, and the
council of defense was appealed to.
After hearing evidence on both sides
they recommended that he be put in
Glass /, but the district board over
ruled the decision again.
The public feeling culminated a few
nights ago in the painting Of yellow
streaks on the Lincoln buildings in
town.
The county attorney and the chair
man of the defense council went to Dy-
sart and held a meeting with thirty OF
the people who think Lincoln should
go to war. The waterloo board has
agreed to open the case again and to
take verbal testimony CT both sides.
It has been impressed upon the con-
testants that the final decision should
be accepted without further protest,
and this agreement has been reached.
If the board reverses it's decisions
Lincoln is to 60 TO war without objec-
ton. II 1t does not. the people are 10

lean public has Uncle Sam 'stumped'
"Profteers" caused the people to

administration. with a tremendous
food problem on its hands, is holding
the bag.
With the greatest potato crop in
history last year, "profiteers" boosted
the price as high as 81 and IS

An appetite for substitutes was ere

The federal food administration is
bending every effort to re-create the
lost appetite. The eating OF more
potatoes means consumption of less

Colds-whether in the head or any
part Of the body-are quickly overcome
by urging the liver to action and keep
ing the bowels free of poison. Take
Cascarets tonight and you will wake
up with clear head and your cold

sleep; they cleanse and regulate the
stomach, remove the sour, undigested
food and foul gases; take the excess
bile from the liver and carry off the
constipated waste matter and poison
from the bowels.
Remember the quickest way to get
rid Of colds Is one or two Cascarets

New York potatoes
Consumption Falls Off,
The food administration has
direct line on consumption. Through
February it watched what the trade
consumed on it's own account at the
profiteering prices in vogue. Instead
of $4,000 carloads the public should
have consumed it paid to 8 cents
pound for about 10000 carloads. It
needed no prophet to sec what would
happen in March, April May andf
June IN the potato growing states.
