Mo Formula for Love.

Vinton Eagle: A Chicago preacher
is telling the youth of his flock how
they may know if they happen to fall
in love. Anybody who falls In love
will know 1t, all right, without any
diagrams or signboards from either
priest or pagan Reminds us OF the
seasick man: His wife asked the
doctor what she should do for MIN,
and the man Of medicine replied.
Don't do anything; he'll do 1t:
There is no formula for love. 1t Is
as perennial as the flowers in the
springtime, and like the wind II
bloweth where it listeth. Its symp-
toms are so natural and yet so uni
form as to absolutely preclude the
possibility of a wrong diagosls. IN
variety, however, love is cosmic. IL
ranges from the puppy sort OF our
extreme youth to the staid affection
mingled with reverence which we at
tain in our old age. In either or any
case. it is the best and finest ana
noblest of human emotions.
Nominated by President.

Will be purchased, and will be sold to
the people at actual cost.
A saw has been set up on the mar

wood has been cut. Wood choppers
are being sent out today through
Cameron, Joyce and company, and
experienced cutters can apply to them
for places in helping to get this wood
cleared off the tracts from which it
Is to be cut.
Mix Wood and Coal.
People In Keokuk are being ad.
vised to mix wood and coal in their
heating plants. They must also have
plenty of kindling to keep the wood
going. The best way to burn the
wood is to have base of coal, with
the wood laid across this. By con-
serving coal and mixing it with
wood, people will get the best possible
results from this combination. For
that reason it is asked that people
who have just little coal, secure
wood at once, and begin to mix the
two fuels.
There is no coal in sight in Keokuk,
and fnr fhot II 40 yty
that wood be secured for those people
whose supply is low. IF people will
realize that they are going to have to
rely on wood, and If they will con-
serve what coal they have, and mix
the two fuels they will get results"
fuel administration members said to-
day.
IF people would go around with us
and see what we are seeing in the way
Of women and children trying to keep
warm on chip fires and shavings, they
would realize that the coal situation in
keokuk has not been one bit exagger-
ated," was the comment of two of the
investigators of the war service board.
Won't Move Coal.
ne COSl Ol moving coal from one
celler to another has been found In
many cases will be prohibitive. For
that reason it is suggested that in
stead of the fuel administration trying
to buy and sell the coal, neighbors get
together and purchase fuel between
them, the neighbor with the big sup
ply of coal selling to the one without
coal in small lots, such as bushels,
basket fulls, and the like.
In week or ten days, if the wood
supply comes in as the fuel board
hopes 1t will. there will not be the
necessity for transferring coal for the
present, at least.
Reports are being received from the
war service boards canvass of the
coal supply. Benjamin F. Moody of

USE MEN OF A. E. F.
WOULD SIDETRACK UNIVERSAL
MILITARY TRAINING BILL.
HOUSE MILITARY AFFAIRS CON-
MITTEE DRAFT NEW
SCHEME.
western Newspaper Union News Service

Western Newspaper UNION
Washington, Nov. lit was dis
closed here that a ma jority of the mem
beers of the House committee on mill
tary affairs are preparing an army re-
organization bill which ignores the
principle Of universal military training
and which would substitute for it a
reserve army of l.OO0,OOO who had eN
p~erience in the late wal.
The plan, which Is now being draft
ed into bill form by the majority OF
the committee, while stanch advocates
Of universal military training are still
contending for recognition, embodies
the following outstanding features:
A regular army of $4,000 officers
and enlisted men.
A United States army made up from
men honorably discharged who saw
service or had training In the war with
Germany and the National Guard of
the several states.
An increased officers reserve corps.
Consolidated and independent mill
tary and commercial air service.
Separate and individual tank and
chemical warfare branches.
Consolidated transportation service
separate from the quartermaster's de-
partment.
officer promotion in the regular
army from n single list and by selec-
ton.
Line officers as chiefs OF the various
arms of the service.
A general staff college through
which officers must pass before detail
to the general staff.
Members of the committee say that
the s~idetracking of universal military
training in the formulation of this bill
Is made necessary, because they be-
lieve to make an issue of il at this time
In the committee would result in its de-
feat. Only seven members of the com
mittee. it is declared, are ready to vote
for universal training at this time as
Il part of the national defense system.
Besides these seven members, 9TH
ers of the committee are said to hold
the view that universal training will
come ultimately. but that Congress is
not now ready for it. For this reason
they hesitate TO incorporate it in a
bill as coming from the committee.
But this course, it is declared, will
not prevent the issue from getting
before the House, because earnest adj
vocates of the system are certain TO
inject it on the floor rs an amend
ment To the committee bill il that bill
comes from the committee as now
outlined. No final vote in committee
has been taken.
Representative Kahn. chairman of
the House committee, is directing the
formulation of the new bill, and is
supporting the provisions which will
he offered AS a substitute for univer-
sal training.

BIG PLOT IS N|PPED
MANY WILL BE DEPORTEO is
PLAN OF FEDERAL
OFFICERS.

Western Newspaper Union News Service,
Washington. Nov. S-Hundreds of
radicals. including many described as
anon the most dangerous anarchist
agitators in the country, have been ar
rested by Department of Justice
agents in simultaneous raids upon rad
zeal headquarters in many cities OF the
United States. 1t was learned that
thirty-siX warrants had been issued by
Commissioner General of Immigration
Caminetti for men in New York con-
sidered particularly active in creating
unrest, and it was reported that these
men had been caught. 1t is estimated
that more than 600 were arrested.
A nationwide plot TO defy govern
ment authority openly is said to have
been nipped in the bud upon the V
Of the second anniversary Of the es-
adjustment OF the Russian soviet gov
eminent. This plot, it is alleged, had
been advocated for weeks by com
bined radical elements throughout the
United States, including the !. W. W.,
anarchists and Russian agitatOrs.
New YOrk.-A nationwide raid on
anarchists began here. Agents of the
Department of Justice, led by William
J.. Flynn, arrested more than 200 rRdi-
Gals assembled in the headquarters of
the Russian soviet republic and after
%hn,- nod haar toGon IN hon hn,ra rtora nf
the Department Of Justice and cross
examined, fifty were held for deporta-
ton as undesirable citizens.
Eight women we're taken in the raid,
of whom two were held for deporta-
ton.
While the men were being examined
reports were received Of other raids
which were made on radicals at Phila-
delphia, Detroit. Newark. Jackson
Mich. Waterbury, Conn. Chicago and
other places.
Ie was learned that thirty-six
rants had been issued by Commissioner
General of Immigration Caminetti for
radicals known to have been particu-
larry active in the industrial unrest of
the country. Ii was reported that these
persons, who were particularly sought,
had been caught. They were taken to
police headquarters.
The raids, taking place on the
of widely advertised celebrations of
the second anniversary OF the estab-
lishment of the soviet government in
Russia, were said to have nipped in
the bud a countrywide plot openly to
defy governmental authority. This
has been advocated, 1t was said, for
several weeks by combined radical
elements, the |. w. W, anarchists and
Russian agitators. Pamphlets and
other literature to this effect are now
in possession of THE Department of
Justice, II was said.
Heavy boxes filled with inflamma-
tory literature seized at soviet head
quarters were brought to Chief
Flynn's office. Dozens Of brief cases
containing typewriter and printed
literature also were among the seized
property. The raid was the third
made upon the Manhattan headquar-
ters this year.
