RED CROSS is
FAILING THERE
The Membership Drive in Fort Madi-
son Yields Small Number
Of Recruits to
Date.

Fort Madison did not do very much
in the membership drive of the Red
Cross which was a national campaign
the latter part of December and the
first week in January, according to
reports in The Evening Democrat.
That paper says no canvass Of i'm
portance was completed there on ac-
count Of the cold weather, and the
results are only fairly good. No
figures have been given out, but the
whole tone of the newspaper report
shows that the brightness of the
Red Cross has paled in the other
county seat.
On the other hand, the townships
in the northern part of Lee county
have done their full share in the roll
call campaign, most Of them have re-
ported final figures, and all have
made a record, like Keokuk and the
southern townships, Of which they
may well be proud.

Dear Mr.. Babbage: This afternoon
being a half-holiday and as hostili-
ties that is, the boys throwing shoes,
books and other objects about the
room have ceased long enough for
me to write a few lines, l will avail
myself of the opportunity to write
you a short letter in compliance with
your request. Perhaps you have for
gotten, for the present the day that
the first quota of draft selects of
Breckenridge county went to Camp
Taylor but il was when you left us
at the 10th Street Depot, that you
asked me TO write you, from time TO
time the important occurrences of my
army life. As this is my first letter,
! must frankly admit that have been
very slow to fulfill my promise, yet
owing 10 the strictness of the Cen
corship il has been impossible TO
write about anything of interest So
ayologizing for my negligences, /
will attempt TO tell you briefly how il
has all happened.

Sailed Sept 9th.
At $40 A. M. Sept. 9th we sailed
from New York Harbor on the
British ship Melita, arrived at Liver
pool, England, about midnight Sept
goth. Disembarked about o'clock
the following morn and went by rail
to Romsey, a small town about 40
miles Southwest of London. This
was an hour ride and was the most
enjoyable part of my journey, as we
passed through the "heart" of Eng
land, which is a very beautiful coun-
try 1t has the appearance of great
park and reminds one of California.
The country is divided into sections
from small plots to fields of several
acres.
One thing, however, that's very
noticeable is, they have no farm hous-
es The people live in the hamlets or
villages and go out during the day to
till their land. The roads are most
all macadamized and are excellent:
The railroads are wonderful and
without exception, are the best |
have ever seen. But their trains are
nothing but toys, in comparison with
ours, yet they are, speedy little crafts,
The cars are not more than 20 it, long
capable of going 60 miles per hour.
and the coaches, or carriages as the
English call them, are divided into
small compartments, each compart-
ment holding persons. These are
marked 1st, End, and Bird class. The
LIST class are elegantly finished, yet
/ don't think one could compare them
equally with the luxurious parlor or
pullman cars of the States.
On our journey cross England we
passed through Manchester, Sheiieid,
Nottingham and Oxford One is
much impressed with the "Old Inns"
which it seems have lost none of
their charm among the English peo-
pie. We were in England only two
days, hiked from Ramsey to South
hampton a distance of 9 miles. Sailed

One can see at glance that France
is an ancient country. The buildings
are made of stone and brick and are
