SUNDAY BLUE LAW|SGT. NC Lain TO
STAY IN IOWA|BE HOME IN APRIL
Honse of Representatives Refuse to
Concur With the Senate in :
Inyalidating the Blue Laws
ON BOOKS FOR
81 ANOTHER TWO YEARS
Ono REPRESENTATIVE Believed That
the Poor Man Who C6uldn-t
Ride in Autoes Should Have
Chance for Other
Amuscments.

| The house Of Representatives last
week refused to concur with the
fsenate in invalidating the blue laws
tnow on the statute books.
By large majority the house
refused to pass bill drawn by the
senate committee on cities and
towns, which include amendments
that would invalidated the present
blue laws.
The present blue laws, which are
not being enforced, according to
admission of several legislators.
former county attorneys, will stay
on the statute books another two
years.
The debate upon the merits and
demerits of the bill became warm
at times.
Representatives Moore, Lake and
Morgan spoke for the bill. Repre-
sentatives Mayne, Giltner and Tenn
Pile spoke against it..
"The representatives who vote
against this bill should not ride in
their automobiles on Sunday, go to
moving picture shows on Sunday or
eat in restaurants on Sunday" said
Representative Moore in his speech
for the bill and against all the
amendments. According to their
notions of the Sabbath, they would
be violating the sanctity of the Sab
bath.
II believe the poor man who can
not ride in automobiles on Sunday
ought to- The given chance to have
iother amusements. He ought to
have the right to go to moving pic
ture shows and look at the pictures
while some Of the rest Of us go out
end buy gasoline and ride in the
sunshine and see the beautiful
country.
Representative Mayne in speak
ing against the bill said that just
because laws are violated is no rea-
son why they should be repealed.
He said the laws are needed and
should be kept on the statute books.
Opponents of the bill first struck
out the heart of the bill with an
amendment offered by Giltner and
, then killed it.
The vote was "a yeas and II nays.

COMPANY REVIEWED
BY GEN. PERSHING
Getting Tired Of Laying Around in
Germany, Would Much Rather
BE Home.
BurgDrohl, Germany
March 8, 1919.

My Dear Mother:
AS have few minutes to spare
l will write you few lines in ans
wer to some of those letters that
Ehave received lately. Well how are
you and everybody else at home?
I am we'll and getting along just
fine, but l would much rather be
home. am getting tired of laying
around over here when I might as
we'll be home doing something worth
while. When the armistice was
signed thought maybe I would get
home in time to take in some of the
auto shows either in New York or
Minneapolis, but here am Just as
far away as when the war ended
l have one consolation, though,
was lucky enough to find a New
York paper giving the accounts Of
the New York auto show, so l guess
l can get along.
Well mother I think I mentioned
it in Arthur's letter the other day
that I am teaching auto and gas
tractoring. So far l have been quite
successful Everybody is compli-
menting me on my good work and
all my pupils seem to take a great
interest in their work.
Well tomorrow is the big day for
us. The Division is to be reviewed
by "Black jack Pershing in a little
town not far from here. We are go
ing to be taken there in trucks about
seven O'Clock in the morning. The
Division is to be formed on the
parade ground 80 minutes before
Pershing arrives. When old "Black
Jack" arrives he encircles the Diyi-
sion on horseback. After he has done
this he dismounts and sends his
horse away, then he starts out and
inspects everyone. To do SO he has
to walk somewhere between 8 and
10 miles, taking him sometheing
like 3 or hours, and all the time
we have to stand at attention. When
he is through inspecting he forms
all men that are to receive medals
d. s. C's, etc. and presents them
himself to the men Two men from
E. Co. are to receive D. S. Crosses
Both men are from my platoon and
one of these men was in my squad
when I was Corporal. After he has
presented the medals the Division
marches in review in column of
squads, taking about three hours.
When this is done We are through.
How would you like to be reviewed
by Pershing? Ha! Ha!
Well there is an order out that
says we start for home in the latter
part of April. Gee! Won't that be
great. I must stop now and start
cleaning up things for tomorrow.
Love to all.
Sgt. H. f. McLAIN.
