MANCHESTER MAN WORKS AMONG
WOUNDED AMERICANS.

(By Joe Mccormick, State Secretary.
Cedar Rapids, Iowa, August G.
(SpeciaD: That injured soldiers
seem to think more of few cigarettes
than a good meal is the uniform in
formation conveyed In a letter just
received by Joe Mccormick of this
city, state secretary of the Knights
of Columbus, from AL J. Thorpe Of
Manchester, Iowa, the first Iowa man
to 60 to France as secretary for the
X. of c. war camp work. The letter
was written June 80 and was about
five weeks in transit
81 have been located at one of the
large American hospitals the past
three weeks and found great field
for welfare work, such as the K. Of
c. are doing" says Mr.. Thorpe. "Have
done everything from carrying
stretcher to shaving the poor chaps
that are brought in minus an arm or
hand. We try to get everything pos
sible to make them comfortable, such
as razors, soap, toothbrushes, etc,
but the most sought for thing of all
is cigarettes. I am convinced that
few Gags" look better to these maim-
ed and injured lads than good meal.
Those 50,OO0,O0O cigarettes the K. of
C. have ordered for free distribution
over here can't arrive any too soon
to suit us, as the boys all seem to
crave for them.
Every boat brings us several chap
lains and they are greatly needed as
we are very short of spiritual advisers
over quite bit of the country locat-
ing sites for our K. of C. huts and the
boys all appear to be very glad that we
are getting on the ground. We have
had several air raids lately and are
becoming accustomed to the aerial fire
works but believe me, they are the real
article"
Mr.. Thorpe formerly was a X. of G.
secretary at Camp Dodge and was the
first man to leave from there for over
seas duty.
The demand for secretaries is very
keen and all Catholic men who are ell
gible for service may obtain applica-
ton blanks and information by writing
Mr.. Mccormick at Cedar Rapids. Men
between 35 and so who possess the ne
cessary qualifications and can prove
their unquestioned loyalty to America
are wanted for service overseas
Those under IS years who are not like
ly to be called in the draft Immediate
ly can be used in the American canton
mentS.
Several Iowa men have departed
during the past month for K. of c.
work in France and several more are
now awaiting the call, their applica-
tions having been favorably acted up
on.

RED CROSS NOTES.

The wOmen'5 committee Of IT,
Council of National Defense has es-
tablished recruiting station for
nurses in the Carnegie library, with
Miss Margaret Lindsay as chairman
Of the committee, and Mrs. A. ".
Stearns. Mrs. H. NJ. Bradley and Miss
Maude Graham as the other members.
This gives an opportunity for all
young women who want to serve their
country to render the most efficient
service and the kind most urgently
needed. and at the same time they
will be taught a profession whose
members are always in demand and
where the financial return is greater
than in most occupations engaged in
by women.
Applications may be for training for
war hospitals or to take the places in
civilian hospitals of nurses needed in
war service, the requirements for adj
mission to the course for war nurses
being somewhat more stringent than
for the other service. A vast number
of nurses are needed at once and from
this county at least fifteen are expect
ed. Several applications have already
been made, but probably not all who
want to go will be qualified. If you
are interested, call at the library and
talk to Miss Lindsay.
Golden and Masonville branches
have each completed ten American
winter pajama suits to be applied on

Delhi has recently sent in 90 con-
valescent robes. The full quota Of As
robes is being made by Delhi and Buck

when his plant was destroyed by fire

was saved from the building.
The Independence fire department
had hard work saving adjoining build

DESTROY THE BAG WORMS.

Mr. Charles Swindel of Masonville
was an office caller this week and
called our attention to the large num-
Der of bag worms which are scattered
over the county This year the in
| festation seems to be more severe than
is usually seen.
| The bag worm is usually recognized
as large number of somewhat gray
! like caterpillars in a spun nest or bag
suspended from the limbs or branches
of trees. They are usually prevalent
I on walnuts.
These caterpillars before entering
this bag usually defoliate the trees
in the immediate vicinity, of leaves.
Later these caterpillars change into
a chrysalis stage which later changes
to moth. This moth goes about the
country depositing eggs on foliage Of
all kinds. The following season these
eggs hatch and great damage is done
by these caterpillars defoliating the
trees.
With large amount of these nests
at this time it is safe to predict that
If they are not destroyed Immediate
ly the shade trees and fruit trees may
be ruined to quite an extent next
year, The County Agent suggests
that simple way to destroy these is
by burning or removing the twigs to
which the caterpillars are attached,
or preparing lighted torch and burn
ing the bags on the trees. This is the
most efficient and satisfactory meth
cd of control.
If the older members of the family
are too busy to take care of the situ-
alton, which should be looked into at
once, possibly some boy can be secur-
ed who would be more than glad to
perform the operation.

RAYMOND KELLY WRITES FROM
CAMP GORDON,


Raymond Kelly, who left Manches-
ter with the contingent Of ninety-one
on July oath, writes to his sister in
Manchester of the trip south. Mr.. Kel-
ly's letter contains unmistakable ear
marks Of the spirit Of the American
boys that make up the finest army
ever modified, the spirit which Is
pushing the lead and cold steel through
the Huns in France. Here is the
young soldiers letter:
Camp Gordon, July %, 1918.
Dear Sister:
Well, we are here after our long
jaunt over the country. It was long,
long ride and it seemed good to get on
old Mother Earth again. Nevertheless
I enjoyed it, and saw some wonderful
country.
There was but one time on the ride
that I wished I was home and that
was when the food gave out. Think
ing that we would be in camp in time
for the next meal we uncoupled the
diner and left it behind us. We were
delayed, however, before Camp came
in sight, and say, speaking Of apetites,
threshers up home wouldn't stand a
show.
I forgot to tell you that I would
liked to have been home a second time
for we didn't have sleep on our train.
But I seem to be pert and alive, and
own broad smile. so it must have
agreed with me.
1t seemed to take an age to cross
Illinois and we were all hoarse from
yelling. 1 guess we yelled at every
thing that looked like human being.
The people all along were real good
to us, giving us candy cigars, etc.
Someone brought on some leaf tobacco
but l would rather have the kind in
the little old bag.
Hiram and I are still together and
he is the only one with me that
know. 1t seems good to have him
along. There are about ninety thou
sand men here, mostly northerners,
and when the kaiser sees, or rather
hears, that ninety thousand coming he
will leave France far behind him.
The Atlantic is but sixteen miles
from us, and I am going to see it
when I get leave. I will go hunting
Subs.
1t is real warm here in the daytime
but the nights are cool enough for
our blankets, of which we each have
two. We get good food and are all
strung along in row and wait our
turn
Please send Franks and Charles ad-
dresses. I suppose Frank went to
Camp Dodge. Say, we boys got scat
tering clear across the country, Wash
ington, Iowa and Georgia camps.
Love to the home folks and yourself
Sincerely
RAYMOND.
