Voters of
Morgan County.

On August lst, next remember
that the members of the County
Court are to be elected for six years
and none but honest men should be
elected, for very great responsible
ty rests with the County Court,
and it concerns almost If not all
taxpayers Of the County; more than
half million dollars has been ex-
| pandeds during the term Of The pre-
sent court on our public roads, aid
that is approximately the county's
Indebtedness; in the coming yeal
no doubt the County Court will be
confronted with other important
matters, and men who are led a
round with bits in their mouth
ought not to be elected, men who
forget their oaths of Office, ought
not to be considered, men who serve
themselves and their friends at Il
County's cost ought not to be elect
ed, find out who you arc voting for
and vote for honest men. if a man
casts his vote for man who is not
honest and who has practiced dis
honesty in dealing with the public,
he the voter, would to that extent
be dishonest: and would not be
guarding the Country's interest as
citizen, and would like in the es-
sential elements of Citizenship,
while the Country is in trouble
with the worlds war, man adds
to the trouble when he votes for a
man who he knows or has opper-
tunity to know has been guilty OF
questionable and suspicious con-
duct, in an official capacity, that
savors of graft or corruption. men
of this country should vote honest
by voting for honest men, and the
class that thrives by falsehood and
graft sholld not be kept in office,
neither should those who are con-
trolled by them be retained in of
fl ,e. 1t Is up to the voters to find
out and know whether we have suf-
fered by such men or not, ani to
find out whether or not, such men
are asking for votes.

MAN INJURED
AT CAR BARNS
Jimmy Franklin Caught Between
Moving Car and Car Barn
Door While Trans
ferrinu.

Jimmy Franklin, who acts as ste
ward at the Elks club, was injured
Saturday afternoon at the car barns
while transferring from a south Nine
teenth street to Mckinley avenue
car. On account of repairs being
made at the cemetery Y, passengers
have been forced to transfer at the
barns for town cars. 1t was while
catching the Mckinley avenue car
that the accident happened.
Cars switching at the barns have
to back in to the car barn in order
to get on the town line and it was
while a car was entering the car barn
that" Franklin climbed on the step and
was crushed between the moving car
and the door. Had the car been NOV
ing rapidly there is little doubt but
that the man would have been dan
gerously if not fatally injured. AS
it was. the ligaments were torn loose
on one shoulder, the shoulder was
badly crushed and the man was
somewhat bruised about the head.
Mr.. Franklin was removed at once to
st. Joseph's hospital and his injuries
attended to.

Six machinists mates are wanted
at once for the u. s. navy L. s.
Fisher, navy recruiting officer at Burr
lington is making canvass to secure
men for this place. Here are the quaIbs
fications as outlined by the officer in
q letter:
This Office is DESTROYS OF enrolling
at once six machinists' mates, first
class, pay S66.50, in the naval reserve
forces. class four, for general duty and
imme diate transfer to Great Lakes.
H.
The qualifications for those machfn~
lists mates are that they shall be ex.
perienced riveters, able to handle all
kinds of hammers, compressed air,
etc, and should actually be structural
iron workers, or structural steel ereo-
tors, this also includes boiler makers,
as boiler makers in railroad shops urfS
derstand most all kinds OF rfveting.
This work is for high tower work,
erecting steel towers, four to eight
hundred feet hight.
This is an exceptional opportunity
for man to get a good rating in the
navy, with good pay. and should ap-
peal to men that are in the draft. A
drafted man will have to furnish the
navy recruiting officer with release
from his local board
It IS expected that this branch will
not be open but very short time. ap-
plicants should apply at once. 1t Will
be necessary to furnish references
from a foreman or employer as to his
ability as a riveter.

ALI Cities Represented.

Practically every city in the state
which had a company Of infantry in
the Iowa national guard at the open
ing of the war has men in the One
Hundred Sixty eighth regiment, which
was originally recruited In southern
Iowa, but was raised to war strength
by drafts Of men from both the First
and Second Iowa regiments. 1t was
modified at the Iowa state fair
grounds in August and left for France
late in the fall
Company B was originally a Des
Moines unit and Company d was
sta toned at Centerville. The head
quarters company was made up gen.
orally of men from all over the
state.
The One Hundred Sixty-eighth
regiment has added one more fight
to it's long list 1t is the old Fifty
first Iowa. which served with distinc-
ton in the Philippines during the
Spanish-American war and Philip
pine instruction, and several Of the
officers, including Col. e. R. Bennett
of Des Moines and Lieut.. Col. Mat
thew A. FINLEY of Council Bluffs,
were with the regiment in the hostili-
ties Of twenty years ago.
All Members Volunteers.
All Of the members of the regi-
ment are volunteers. 1t was con-
sidered the crack organization of the
Iowa national guard, and was honor
ed by selection as part of the rain
bow division, which included picked
national guard troops from all parts
Of the union, and was the second
national guard unit to go to France
The action in which the men were
hurt will in all probability not be
known until letters are received de-
scribing the fight. Spirited contests
have been waged all along the line
during the past week in which Amer
lean troops have participated, and
this is the first casualty list to be re-
cetved from the Iowa regiment. A
dispatch received last night tells of
an attack on the night of March on
the latest Americans to enter the
trenches and this may have been the
engagement.
