SWEEPS HIM FROM HORSE
Young Man Was Fordins River On His
Horse To Go Home To Dinner When
Accident happened-Was tho Son Of
Mr.. and Mrs. p. r. Pinkerton, For

While fording the Little Sioux river
near Quimby, Cherokee county. Earl
Pinkerton, aged 10. the son of Mr.. and
Mrs. p. F. Pinkerton, former we'll
known residents of Marietta township,
was drowned. The young man. who
was working on his fathers farm,
started across the stream at the noon
hour. II is not known just how the
accident happened, but it is presumed
that the horse lost its footing and the
young man was unmounted.
No one saw the accident but mem
bers Of the family heard the young
mans cries for help and saw him go
down FOR the last time. The body was
recovered Sunday and the funeral
was held that evening, burial being in
the QuiInby cemetery.
Was Crossing From Field.
The Pinkerton farm is divided by
the Little Sioux and It was the habit
of the boys, when blowing corn in.
fields across the river. to leave the
horses in the field during the noon hour
and cross over TO the house in a boat.
For some reason the boat was not
there when Earl started home, so he
climbed on one Of the horses and at
tempted 10 ford.
The Pinkerton family lived on a
farm two and one-half miles southeast
of Minerva for fifteen years or longer
until three years ago when they moved
to Cherokee county. The tragedy has
been a terrible blow to the parents
and brothers and sisters of whom
seven survive their brother. They are
a twin brother, Lyle, and Ralph. John,
Clarence and Ross and Freda and
Edna.

VALUE OF MILITARY ROADS.
Soldier Committee Ask Comrades &
Vote For Federal Aid.

Soldier Committee Ask Comrades to
Vote For Federal Aid.
A special committee from the AM
erican Legion, composed of Capt, AL
bert F. Hull, ". A. Merritt, Guy d.
Clemens, Howard Ewing. Maurice
Bernstein, Byron Ruth, Justus Schmidt
and Charles W. Peckham, has ad-
dressed an appeal to their comrades
thruout the county asking support Of
the proposal to accept federal aid for
hard surfacing the primary roads OF
Marshall county. In their communi-
cation the committee says:
When we were overseas we saw
that the defense Of Europe and of the
world was made possible by the paved
roads of France. General Joffre mob
ilized an army at the Marne in Paris
taxicabs over paved roads and General
Petain saved Verdun with his truck
transports over paved roads. The
United States army turned the tide
of the world war at Chateau Thierry
by rapid motor transport over paved
roads. Turnout the war drive stopped
at the end of a good road and the
military purpose on all sides was to
destroy roads so as TO cut off an enc
my from its supplies. Armies in France
could not live without paved roads.
We are not surprised that the Unit
ed States government has offered
nearly 100000 to Iowa to aid in the
building of a statewide system Of mil
itary roads and we urge every man
who enlisted for the supreme sacrifice
in defense of his country to boost and
vote for military road preparedness in
Marshall county.
Vote yes on July II and get some
federal money spent for hard roads in
our own county. If we fail to go over
the top on that day some other county
will get our share.
I'VE are young men who will live to
see these roads used as our fathers
never dreamed they could be used
Let's get some of them for Marshall
county, the kind good enough for any
old army truck, whether it be loaded
! with men, ammunition or corn wooley
and always sure to carry its load to
the front.
I'VE saw overseas what roads meant
to armies even tho railroads have
been constructed largely for military
purposes. Let's vote for military roads
preparedness in our county. Such
roads as army engineers will build will
last for twenty-five years or more and
we can help pay for them with our
automobile licenses and our income
taxes. The older men of today need
not worry about them. The future is
for u.s."

SOLDIERS SHOULD REGISTER.
Those Who Did Not Vote Before Must
BE Registered.

Attention is called TO the fact that
among the returned veterans OF the
world war are good many young
men who had just reached their ma
Jority before they went into the army
or who became of age while they were
away. The law requires that those
living in this city who have never vot-
ed before or who have moved from one
precinct TO another since the last cleo
ton must register. Saturday Is the
last day for registration. altho those
who have not been in the city on any
of the other registration rays can reg
lister on the day of election.

leaders OF industry, trade and com.
merce, who ave perhaps done more
than armies or havies to win the war.
The far East offers a vast field for the
cooperation of the forces of recon
struction and those forces must neces,
sarily be drawn from the ranks OF the
men who compose the chambers OF COM
merCe throughout Europe, the United

For the last six months, the baron
said, the disturbed conditions in Rus
sia aud siberia, as well as the activities
of enemy agents whom 1t was impossi-
BILE to eliminate altogether, coupled with
the disagreement between north and
south in China, had caused some un-
easiness, but the surrender OF Ger.
many had lifted a great load from the
whole country. The commercial dele.
gates, he said, appeared to be quite
confident that the conference at Yer,
sailles would result in the establish.
ment of improved conditions Throughout,
