with results that amazed the scten-

When Company l. comes back, or
that fragment of it which shall come
back, Keokuk ought to give them a
rousing welcome. for they are the
real heroes Of the war The discom-
forts which they endured are I'M
speakable and the fight they put up
unsurpassed by any other part of
the army"
"a man can get used to fighting"
said Lieutenant Hayden, "and not
mind it at all. But to have the ten
sion Of fighting for thirty or forty
straight days and nights, standing in
mud and water and trying to sleep
in mud and water, and surrounded
all the time by the crash Of arti1-
lery-that's something nobody can
get used to. Those doughboys went
through just that, and they deserve
great welcome
Lieutenant Hayden said that in
the beginning the American aviation
section had no organization; every
plane was free lance which went
out and tried to clear the sky of
Huns who happened to be flying
around. Later they organized pur-
suit squadrons, after the plan Of the
French aero organization, and used
air strategy in their work of bring
ing down enemy planes.
Lieutenant Hayden was in the
Photographic section, which made
photographs from which were made
war maps, and he described the en-
tire process.
Although the advance announce

The singing was with spirit and

There were solos and quartet

That government control Of rail-

nation with officers of the law was
demonstrated to Chief Of Police Hen
neman when he took Earl Ray to
Eldora under sentence to the state
reform school.
The Ray kid is a graduate Of the
Illinois reform school and was about
to start postgraduate course in the
Iowa reform school, when two rail-
road men watched him escape and
told the officer in charge of him
a bout it miles later. 1t was the first
prisoner that ever got away from
Chief Henneman in his many years
of official life, and he is much put
out about it.
1t happened at Pickering, Iowa, a
water tank station score of miles
from Marsha lltown.
Giving the Boy the Lead.
The Ray boy asked to go to the
toilet of the coach. Chief Henneman
went in first and found the window
apparently immovable. The train
stopped at Pickering soon after. 1t
seems the window would respond to
proper manipulation-at any rate,
the boy got it open.
The opeIator-agent at Pickering
watched him crawl out of the win
dow and lope away. A little later
he told the train conductor about it
with the wise suggestion that prob
ably it was a boy en- route to Eldora
escaping from an officer. After that,
and after the train had left the sta
ton miles behind, the train conduc-
tor casually asked Chief Henneman
where his boy was and when told he
was in the toilet, repeated the re-
marks of the station agent.

CATTAILS HAVE FOOD VALUE
Investigation Has Shown Them to Con-
tain a Satisfactory Amount of
Needed Protein.

Flour from the cattails of the
swamps has leen found by the plant
chemical laboratory at Washington TO
contain about the same amount of pro-
TEN as rice and corn fiours, with some
what less fat than wheat flour, and it
was regarded as a promising substi-
tute with wheat flour to the extent of
10 to 20 per cent. In the investigation,
of which he has given an account in
the Scientific Monthly, Prof. P. w.
Claassen tried the flour In several
ways, both as part substitute with
wheat flour in baking and as corn
starch substitute for buildings. Bis
cults containing 80 and even 100 per
cent of this flour proved to be palat-
able, not very different from those of
wheat flour alone, while the buildings
had an agreeable flavor and were sat
isfactory. The flour material is OBJ
tanned from the large underground
rootstalks or rhizomes, of which it
forms starch core three-eighths to
one-half inch in diameter. The dried
rh.zomes from an acre of cattails were
shown to equal 1922 pounds, and the
core substance, passed through a
meat grinder and sifted, yielded fine
flour at the rate of $500 pounds per
acre. Many thousand acres of cattail
marshes are included in the 1855
square miles of swamp land of the
United States.

NINE HEADS TOLD
TO HALT ACTION
PRESIDENT PRoNoUNcEs PRO.
POSED STRIKE CRIME AGAINST
THE PEOPLE OF THE NATION.
Declares That Mines Will Keep on
Producing Coal, Even IL It Becomes
Necessary for Government to
Take Charge Of Operations.

Observation-Disclosures Wilson and
the members of his cabinet have pro-
nounced the proposed strike of btu
minous coal miners scheduled for No
vember 1, crime against the govern
ment and people of the United States.
They brand the strike both morally
and legally wrong and declare In a
statement to the public that the law
will be enforced, and means be found
to protects the interests of the nation
in any emergency that may arise out
of this unhappy business.
In plain, vigorous language the pres
ident announces that the strike can
not be permitted under the laws of the
government for the protection of So
ciety. The government, he says, will
use every means within its power to
prevent the strike and keep the mines
operated
The decision means that unless the
miners call off the strike, they and
their officers may be prosecuted for
high crime against the government.
1t means also that the government
will not hesitate to keep the mines
operating, even If 1t may be necessary,
to keep them running, for the govern
ment to operate them and to protect
them with its strong military arm.
But the president hopes that it will
not be necessary to prosecute the min
ers, and appeals to their officers and
to the miners as individuals at once
to recall all strike orders, announcing
that he stands ready to see that their
differences with the operators are fair
ly adjusted by arbitration.
1T is time for plain speaking the
president declares, asserting that in
this crisis he gives no thought to the
merits of the miners demands. Their
claims and interests can be taken up
later. 1t is the paramount interest of
the whole American people that must
be secured first.

breaches AS WELL
AS HE POLE VAULTS
Oregon Minister Succeeds in
Breaking Coast Record.
Rev. Mr.. Spearow, Member of Multi
nomah Athletic Club, Is Aii-Round
Athlete-High and Broad
Jumps His Specialties.

A minister of the Gospel broke the
Pacific coast record in the pole vault,
and is considered promising candi-
date for the worlds record.
He is Rev. Ralph A. Spearow, pas
tor of Unitarian church in Portland,
and member of the Multnomah Athlet-
ic club.
Sunday finds Rev. Mr.. Spearow de-
livering sermons to large-sized con-
gregations, in which young men and
boys are 'cOnspicuously present. He is
adored by the youth of Portland, who
regard him as an athlete who breaches
ION the side," not as a preacher with
an athletic bent.
Monday finds the young minister out
on the athletic field keeping up his
training. He is an all-round star, with
special ability at the high jump and
broad jump as well as the pole vault,
and Is also an excellent Splinter.
Rev. Mr.. Spearow's coast record was
made recently in a track meet held at
Tacoma. He scared over the bar at
the dizzying height of 10 feet and 3-S
inches, the first time any coast vaulter
had ever exceeded 10 feet. The former
record was held by Sam Bellah, of
Stanford university.
The worlds record stands at 10 feet
2H inches.
Rev. Mr.. Spearow at the Tacoma
meet won the high jump at feet 2
inches, which is some jump. and did %
feet and one-half inch in the broad.
Rev. Mr.. Spearow frankly attributes
his success, not to coaching, but
prayer. He has never been in the
hands of an expert coach, but worked
out his own methods entirely. Prayer,
he says, carries him over the bar.
