Captured Hun Helmets
Made Either for Boys
Or Small Square Heads


Victory Loan boosters are sure the
Huns came by their sobriquet-square
heads-rishtly. The term refers to
shape, not intelligence.
It's this way.
The loan headquarters have resem-
bled a mans hat store when the
Easter rush is on, ever since big
consignment of German helmets ar
rived. Everybody just had to try on
a Hun bonnet. But nobody SO far has
been able to find fit.
Those German tin lids are all too
small,
Largest sizes run about six and a
half. the smallest being about Ave
and half. They are made to fit a
head that is plumb or square with
the back of the neck.

SILENTLY THE
FIREMEN WORK
Creep Noiseless up to House With
Chimney Afire and Put Out
the Blaze Without
Noise.

This morning the Keokuk firemen
from the Sixth street station crept up
to house with fire in 1t as noise
lessly as the burglar they recently
chased away from Franklin street
residence.
They extinguished a burning chin
ney silently, and noiselessly they
slipped away again to return to the
station.
1t was a still alarm, also, and It was
caused by a burning chimney at the
home of the aged Mrs. Katherine Har-
rington, 521 Ridge street. Mrs. Har-
rington is nearing hundred years
old and has been highly respected for
couple of generations here. The
firemen knew this and also that this
week she had an attack at the heart.
Hence, they concluded that the usual
noisy approach and attack on burn
ing chimney would be detrimental to
the aged woman, and they made q
sneak at that chimney.
The fire loss was negligible and the
gain was a knowledge Of the broad
quick thinking and human
kindness of Chief Anderson and the
Keokuk firemen.

Iowa should get half an inch of
rain every ten days to produce a
bumper corn crop, and there are at
present no signs of rain.
