A FAMILY IN IOWA
 AND WHAT THEY DID

The Damn family has lived in Ma haska county, Iowa, for about four years. There are IA Damms, the par ents and IF children. People of the state clearly remember how widely this family of Damms was advertised when it landed in Iowa from Holland. They were poor folks, had just enough money to get them across the sea to this richest section of the land of plenty. Arriving in Oskaloosa after a direct trip from Holland, the Damms began a search for a farm to rent. They settled in Richmond township, Mahaska county.
 Last week they bought the farm. It comprises about 400 acres and they paid $60,000 for it. Four years ago they didn't have $80 between them. Today they have farm worth 1,0O0 times that humble amount.
 How fortunate it is that the Soviet does not control Mahaska county, that the Bolshevi6 or the 1. w. w. are not in power there. The Hollanders would be condemned as thieves and exploiters; they would now be classed among the bourgeoise and hate would be engendered against them. Any one who acquires anything material in such short time is the object of Bol- shevist hatred. So the Damms would come in for copious amounts of it.
 The Damms are rich because of their own efforts, theirs alone. No one helped them. They applied their Dutch industry to rented farm, and now they own the farm. But that makes no difference to the Soviet. We heard a minister the other day say that until he felt that he could look on man who carries the red flag and feel that that man has as much right Ito have his say as 1 have," he the minister, would not be fit to preach the gospel from his pulpit. And we thought of what the red flag wavers would say of and do to the Damms if they had a chance. We re- membered the published creed of the red flag opponents when copy of it was discovered after the recent bomb outrages and it was found to advo. cate Speech with dynamite" We as- sumed that the minister said what he did not mean or meant what he did not say.
 It's what the Damms do and say that counts with us. The Bolsheviki could come to this country from Rus sia, keep their mouths shut and their ears open, work like the Damms work. ed and become just as rich if they wanted to. There's no need of B0l- shevism in this country so long as the poor immigrant can do what the Damms did, and there is no place for the Bolsheviki or the red flag. The Damms furnish telling evidence here against the creed of those. who claim they don't get Q Square deal."- Cedar Rapids Gazette.

SENT MESSAGES IN SHELLS.

A hollow 3-inch shell, fused to emit on striking a gas of smokelike densi- ty by day and luminous at night, and used to transmit messages from divi- sion headquarters to advanced or ex- posed positions, is another wartime secret which has now been made pub lie. This form of communication was first used by the Germans, and after ward adopted by the allies. A sam pie of the shell-one that was cap tured from the enemy during the St. Mihiel drive--was brought home by Vice Admiral Albert Gleaves on his return from France.
 According to Admiral Gleayes, the shell has range of about two thous- and yards, and is self-propelling. It's velocity was such as to require four teen seconds to travel that distance, "slow enough" the admiral said, to enable an active man to dodge it should he see or hear it coming. And when it struck, it could be readily located by it's smoke cloud by day or it's light by night, picked up, a cap unscrewed and the message inside de- iivered to the officer for whom it was intended.

ARMY UNIFORMS TO BE WORN ONLY ON
 SPECIAL OCCASIONS

The mixture of army and civilian clothes on the streets nowadays has reached 8 stage whereby the old-fash- toned burlesque comedians blush with envy, and one does not have to pay the price of admission to theater to see freakish costumes of the most ridiculous sort. One sees an ex-serv- ice man parading down the streets with white silk shirt, pair of army brooches and army leggins and black shoes. The hat Well, that doesn't seem to matter; any sort of hat will do.
 There are still many boys clinging to their army uniforms. Some of these are waiting on their tailor to finish his job, while others who have good civilian clothes wear them dur ing the day, and then in the evening they come forth "in all their glory to give the public treat" in their army uniforms.
 Some time ago the government is- sued orders permitting the returned soldier to wear his uniform a certain length of time after receiving his dis charge. This order was only for the purpose of enabling the soldier to ap- pear well dressed until he was able to procure civilian attire. Once the civ ilian clothes were donned, it was not expected that the ex-soldier would ap- pear again in public, except on special occasions of military nature. That this is the governments contention is certain by circular just recently re- ceived. The circular was issued by the war department, and it advises the honorably discharged soldiers that "they are entitled to wear their uni forms on special occasions, such as parades, patriotic celebrations, etc"
 Attention of this circular is invited to the men who wish to honor the uniform.

MANY ARMY HORSES
 SOLD TO THE FRENCH

American army horses, some of which last year hauled artillery over the battle fields of France, will this summer be used by French peasants in various districts as aids in tilling the soil of hundreds of acres of de- vastated regions.
 Details for the sale of ten thousand American army horses and mules to the French government were complet- ed recently at the headquarters of the American army of occupation. These animals are to be shipped from the occupied area of the Rhinelands to France by rail and sold by the French government direct to the peasants. The first bunch of one thousand horses sold to the French under this arrange ment brought about $200 each.

GETS MEDAL HE WON
 AWAY BACK IN 1868

Leander Heron of St. Paul, Neb., has just won a congressional gold medal for bravery in 1868. That the medal, thus tardily conferred, is awarded only to the brayest, is shown by the fact that, although the law under which medals of this class are awarded was enacted in 1863, only BPS have been issued, Mir. Herron's medal bearing this last number.
 Heron, now 70 years old, was a corporal of Co., A, Third United States Infantry. With a pistol in each hand he rode directly through band of "dog soldier" Indians and rescued a government wagon train which was under attack.
 In 1868 the Indians were more trou- blesome along the Santa Fe trail than at any other time in the history of that famous highway. Five thousand of the red men had banded together for the purpose of running the whites out of the country. Indians from 2 dozen tribes were in the league. After all the stage lines had been forced out of business, a sort of pony ex- press service was started in Western Kansas. All the riding had to be done at night, and it meant death for any lone white man who fell into the hands of the Indians. Among the thousands of braves on the warpath was band of so-called "dog sol- diers'--Indians who had been drum med out of their own tribes because they were too mean to live with. It was with these depraved savages that Heron had his encounter.

COLUMBUS HATED THE TURKS

Christopher Columbus was an ar- dent Crusader and undertook his voy- ages of discovery in 1492 merely to raise funds to finance armies to fight the Turks, according to historians. His writings, his journals and plead ings to Spanish sovereigns bear out this fact. He quoted the Holy Scrip lures to show he was the man chosen to lead the people out from under the sultan's yoke. In his journal, written December 29, 1492, he wrote that he hoped his men would find "tuns" of gold and spices in such big quantities that armies could be sent against the Turks inside of three years. He willed that all profits from his trips should be devoted to that cause.
 Columbus pious ambition is ascrib1 ed to an incident which occurred dur ing the siege of Baza, when Spain was at war against Granada. Colum- bus was present when two friars arr rived with a message from the grand soldan of Egypt, in which the Moslem threatened to put to death all Chris tians in his dominions, and destroy the Holy Sepulcher at Jerusalem if the war against the Moslems of Granada was not stopped. s
 Columbus indignation was so nl tense that he made vows that he never forgot. After his first voyage he vowed to furnish within seven years an army of four thousand horses and fifty thousand foot sol diers for crusade and similar num- Der with the five following years. He never forgot that VOW, and before starting his fourth voyage, wrote to Pope Alexander VII informing him of his sorrow in being unable to keep 1t, owing to his arrest and removal from power.

WATER THE GREAT SCULPTOR

Water, which now seems only to lap the earth or cloud it, was the chisel which originally carved it's surface. They say that when the planet, re- gently thrown of from the sun, was still on fire, the lighter clements rose in the form of gases around the mol ten metallic core; and the outer parts of this nucleus in cooling formed a crust of igneous rock, which, as the earth contracted, was crushed to- gether and wrinkled like the skin of raisin. These wrinkles are our mountain chains, made even more rugged and villainous by belated eruptions.
 On that early earth there was no water. All was sheer peaks, ledges, of such livid metallic hues, crimson, saffron, and purple, as may still be seen on the shores of the Dead Sea or in the Grand Canyon of the Colo rado--rifts that allow us to peep into the internal regions, happily in those places at least without inhabitants. This hellish sore of landscape, which we must now plunge into the depths to find, was the first general land scape of earth.
 As the cooling progressed, however, the steam that was in the upper at- mosphere began to condense and to fall in rain. At first the hot drops no doubt sizzled as they fell and rose again immediately in vapor, yet the meteorological cycle was established notwithstanding. The rain that evap- orated descended once more, each a little cooler and more abundant, until it cut channels among the crags, and ground and polished their fragments into boulders and pebbles, formed the pools in the hollows, and finally cov- cred the earth up to it's chin with the oceans.
 Much detritus meantime was wash ed down from the rocks; it gathered in crevices and along the pockets and stacker reaches of rivers. This sedi- ment was soaked with moisture and mixed with dissolved acids; it became

 In speaking of the affair for which he received the decoration along with Q D. s. C., Capt. Robison says that it must have been when he led his bat talion over the top and was knocked down twice by shells while making a mile advance before he was sent to the hospital. That was about all that could be gotten out of him as to just what happened.

FRENCH FARMER HAD
 @ THIRTY-SIX CHILDREN

A French farmer in a village near Ypres, M. Vanhee, had thirty-six chil- dren--twenty-two sons and fourteen daughters-all of whom were living when the war broke out. The father and one daughter were shot by Ger mans because they went to Lille to attend party in honor of relatives g one -hundredth birthday; a second daughter was killed by German shell at Dunkirk; three sons were dis charged from the army with grave injuries, and thirteen were killed in action. The size of the family does not make it's terrible sacrifice any less tragic.
