The Errina Soul.

The little l have seen in the world
teaches me to look upon the errors
Of others in sorrow, not in anger.
When 1 take the history of one poor
heart that has sinned and suffered,
and represent to myself the struggles
and temptations it has passed
through, the brief pulsations of Joy,
the feverish inquietude of hope and
fear, the pressure of want, the deser-
ton of friends, would fam leave
the erring soul of my fellow men with
Him from whose hand it came.-Long-
fellow.

Love as a Word,

Love, even as a word only, must
stand alone. 1t is one of the great
monosyllables of our great language
Love. It is the invisible gravita-
ton of life. With its invisible cords,
uewless but potent, it draws hearts
together over eternal spaces, and holds
them together in an indissolubIe bond
In Time and Eternity.

IOWA BOYS To BE
HONE NEXT WEEK
FAMOUS IOWA REGIMENT WHO
SAW MUCH SERVICE WILL
SOON BE HOME AGAIN

Early Sunday morning Colonel
Matt FINLEY, member of Company
l., now stationed at Camp Upton.
New York, called up his family in
Council Bluffs by long distance tele-
phone. He was anxious to say a
word to the children and other rela-
tives that he could not resist the OPP
portunity OF talking with them, even
at so long a distance. He talked
to every member of the family who
heard his voice for the first time in
two years.
Colonel FINLEY informed his fam
lily that Company l. was due to leave
Camp Upton for Camp Dodge about
Tuesday and expected to arrive there
about Thursday or Friday. Howev-
err. since receiving the long distance
telephone, Mrs. FINLEY has received
a telegram, which arrived Monday
morning, saying that Company l.
would leave Camp Upton on Sunday,
May 18th, leaving their camp in
three different sections, and routed
as follows: One to go by way of
Keokuk and Ottumwa, one by way
of Dubuque and Waterloo and the
third by way of Davenport and &C.
dar Rapids. expecting to arrive at
their destination at about the same
time. The reason for sending them
in three sections is to accommodate
those who wish to see their relatives
enroute to Camp Dodge.

HOME FROM OVERSEAS

John Rutherford, one of Audubon
county's splendid young men who
spent about a year in France has
been discharged from the army ser
vice and yesterday returned home
from Camp Dodge. Mr.. Rutherford
had taken two years medical
course at Iowa City when he was
called into the service and after
spending few months in camp here
was sent to France where he was in
the sanitary detachment with the
medical department of the Red
Cross. He was in the thickest of
the fight, serving most of the time
in the Argonne Woods where so
many of our Iowa boys were killed.
John has some interesting stories to
relate. He was happy to know that
he could be of service to his country
but now that the war is over he is
glad to be back among friends and
loved ones. No doubt he will again
enter the university to complete his
medical education and continue to
serve humanity. All are glad that
he is home and looking so well.

THE BOSTON OPERA SINGERS

Among the feature musical attrac-
tions to appear GU onr Chautauqua
program this year il is claimed by
the Redpath-Vawter folks that the
concerts by the Boston Opera Singers
will equal in artistic quality any con-
certs ever heard in this community.
They assert that this company pre-
sents the strongest personnel of any
organization ever used on the cir
cult.
The soprano of the company, Lou
Use Stallings, is hailed by the New
York critics as one of the coming
operate stars of the country She
is said to be one of the favorite con-
cert artists of the metropolitan au-
diences.
All members of the Boston Oper-
attic company are working toward
places in grand opera and it has been
predicted that most of them will one
day be heard in major operate roles.
A feature of the concert given by
the artists will be the presentation of
Donizetta's delightful operetta, 1.-THE
Daughter of the Regiment" pro-
duction which requires considerable
histronic ability as we'll as exception
al vocal accomplishment.

my ariplanes, five racing automo-
biles and five army aviators, all OF

THE VICTORY Liberty LOAN
How many battles were you in?

How many battles were you in!
That is the question to be answer
ed by all American citizens. Those
who were in the army or the navy
gave themselves in the fight. Let
those who did not go stand to the
rack. under the fire of the Victory
Loan. and give their dollars to clinch
the army and navy's victory.
1t would be poor United States,
a dilapidated citizenry, were the Vic
tory Loan to fail of over-subscrip-
ton. How glad are you that peace
has come? Not lip music, friend. but
spell it in dollars and cents. OF
course. you need your money; who
doesn't need all that he can get, and
more? Who needs 1t worse, the gov
eminent or you?
This loan is the last call The
fire-eaters who were so vehement
against the German have one chance
to help him now. Those who wish
the kaiser punished have this oppor-
tunity to withhold their funds. II
they will. and add solace to his fall.
Those who were with us in the war
can desert us now, IL they will. and
hold up their money.
When we think of the dead In
France. American soldiers. who gave
their life. money seems too small Q
thing to ask a man to give. Con-
tribute today; tomorrow will be too
late.

TORNADO IN IOWA FRIDAY

The big Minneapolis & st. Louis
railroad bridge south of Cornell, re-
Gently rebuilt after a years work.
was totally destroyed by a tornado
that struck that section of the coun-
try Friday night.
The fact that the passenger train
bound for Storm Lake was an hour
late was the only thing that prevent
ed serious accident. The storm
struck at the hour the train was due
to cross the bridge and. had it been
on time, serious loss of life would
have been likely.
The storm struck Sioux Rapids
and destroyed many small buildings.
Farm buildings in the vicinity were
destroyed and much damage was
done, but no loss of life has been
reported.
