Government Will Make
Able-Bodied Loafer Go
to Work or Enlist

Able-bodied loafers are under the
ban. War time necessity makes them
a useless drug on the market, as well
as drain on the resources of the
country, which at this time cannot be
tolrated. Major John D. Yost Re
cruiting officer for the Minnesota
District inaugurated an enlist or
work" campaign in several Minnesota
towns recently with such marked re-
suits that he is anxious to make the
movement statewide. Through the
newspapers of the state Major Yost
requests the cooperation of all mum
cipal and county authorities, as well as
Recruiting Committees in pushing this
campaign.
Figures compiled show that Their
are at least $4,000 men in the sta
outside the draft age who are avail
able for military service, and who ar
not engaged in any line of work.
Uncle Sam can use such men, is il
need of them in fact, and can tie,
them all a useful occupation. Id
men are trouble breeders, and tn
best place for such men at the pres
ent time is in the Army where they
will be kept too busy to think
trouble.
The New York State Legislative
Assembly, as well as the Legislature
of the State of Maryland, have en-
acted laws on the above plan that a
already operative. Municipal officers
have welcomed the opportunity to rid
their towns of loafers, and it is ex-
pected Minnesota officers will also go
after them with vengeance.
The needs of the Army are constant
and ever increasing, so every known
means of securing men must be re-
sorted to. Secretary of War Baker
favors increasing the draft age limit
to 40 years, and prospects are excel
lent that this suggestion will be fol-
lowed by Congress.
The U. S. Army Tank Corps is
now open for enlistment Lieutenant
Colvin who is recruiting for this
branch of service has an office at the
State Capitol. Drafted men can get
into the Tank Corps through their To-
cal board if passed on by 1t. Colvin.
The organization is mobolizing on the
Did Civil War battlefield at Gettys-
burg, Pennsylvania. Gas engine men
are particularly desired.

FOURTEEN CENT SUIT IN COURT
Monona County Man Loses In Effort
To Collect Pennies From Rail-
road Company.

Des Moines, Feb. 12.-J. A. Prich-
ard, of Monona county, has lost his
suit, appealed to the supreme court,
to recover IA cents from the North
western railroad company, money
paid for railroad ticket, which
ticket the company refused to take
back. Prichard won in the Monona
county courts but the railrod com.
pany appealed and the supreme
court has reversed the ruling of the
lower court.
1t was not the money but the "prin-
ciple Of the thing" which aroused
both litigants to fight the matter
through the courts.
Prichard bought railroad ticket
from Onawa to Turin, distance of
seven miles, for which he paid the
customary II cents. The train was
late and he grew tired of waiting so
managed to negotiate the distance
by some other mode of travel Five
OdIo ldISI uc went rdIO W TIC
ticket agent at Onawa to turn in his
ticket and get the money back and
then the trouble started.
According to the evidence in the
case the local. agent at Onawa pro-
posed to take the ticket and send it
to the general passenger agent for
redemption. following out the rules
of the company. Prichard refused
to surrender his ticket claiming if
he did so he would have nothing at
all to show for his IA cents. So he
brought suit to recover the money.
The supreme court. after analyz-
|. 6 the case, declared that the point
at issue was whether certain rules
and regulations provided by the de-
PENDANT railway for the redemption
of unused tickets were reasonable
compliance with the requirements of
the statute on this subject. The high
court decided that the railroad CON-
pany did not ask anything out of the
way in requiring the man to surrend-
er his ticket and comply with its
rules before allowing him payment
on same.

FOR WAR RELIEF.

How far that little candle throws

If you will look on the book at. the
Green & Bentley Drug store, where
the children put the pennies for the
war relief work you will see that we
sent another 500 to headquarters last
Saturday. "
Isn't it splendid the pennies we can
save if we only try. We do not want
the grown-ups to get all the credit for
winning this war Each one of us, no
matter how small we are can do our
part
Then there are the fathers and
mothers who are sending pennies for
their babies-why? Because some day
that baby will grow up and be glad
that ne was given chance to take
part in one of the finest parts OF the
war relief work. There will be no flu
ture for any country at war ii we
cannot take care of the children. This
is what the Happy Tribe wants TO help
do and every penny that is sent is
gratefully received.

FARMERS SEEKING EXEMPTION
Young Men Needed In Agricultural
Pursuits May Be Taken Out
of Glass One.

Des Moines, Feb. 12.-Faced by a
possible shortage in crop production
in 1913, farm organizations have
launched final effort to gain exemp
ton from immediate national army
service of skilled farm laborers in
Iowa
]. F. Niccolls of Winfield, Iowa,
chairman of the executive board of
the Iowa division of the Farmers un.
ion,. last night announced that some
success already had attended the
effort.
All farmers that come under the
classification of skilled farm labor
ers" who have been placed in class l
of the QUESTIONABLE classification are
the ones affected.
They are requested to send imme-
diately to George McKelvey of Col
umbus Junction, Iowa, their serial
and order number, together with aft
dayits supporting their skilled farm
laborer" claim.
Prompt Action Necessary.
This information must be in Mr..
McKelVey's hands within a day or
two. in order that he may send it
in to Washington before February
Is, virtually the last day for appeals
from local and district boards CLASH
fication.
Mr. McKelvey has been appointed
by Charles Barrett, chairman of the
federal board of farm organizers, to
take charge of the appeal work in
Iowa. McKelvey is state organizer
for the Farmers union.
The appeals will be transmitted
to Provost Marshal General
Crowder, with whom the matter al
ready has been taken up, and he will
refer them to Governor Harding, who
will take them up with the district
boards.
1t is contended that the farmers,
in many cases, have not been CLASH
fed within the intention of the pro-
vost marshal general, and that many
have been placed in class /, who
should have been palced in class 2,
or even class 8.
