WINNESHIEK GAVE S1O,2O2.74.
To the Campaign of the Near East
War Sufferers.

On Monday last t. A. Jayne, chair
man Of the local committee of the
Near East War Sufferers Campaign,
completed the compilation of sub
scriptions in the drive made a few
weeks ago. The figures show that
Winneshiek county has again lived
up to its reputation for meeting
every war emergency by sending in
its full quota. This is something that
has not been done generally through
out Iowa. The results reflect great
credit upon the subcommittee
throughout the county. They have re-
sponded Loyalty and were given gener-
Gus cooperation by the people of
their communities. This is especially
true with the congregations of. Rev.
T. O. -Tolo where upwards of five
hundred dollars was subscribed. This
district was also prominent in pig
club donations.
The lists of subscribers are or file
with Treasurer E. r., Haines at the
DEBORAH State Bank and are open t.
examination. Following are the

CAPTAIN JEWELL HOME.
Well known DEBORAH Doctor Muster
ed Out OF Army Service

The many friends of Captain
Nj, ID. Jewell were pleased to see him
Monday, he having arrived home
Sunday night, after having been in
the army service for the past year
and half. The captain enlisted his
services July 26, 1917, going to FIT.
! Riley, Kansas, where he took the
officers training course for three
months. From there he went to Camp
Funston where he entered on duties
in the contagious disease department,
remaining there four months, when
he was transferred to Camp Travis,
| Texas, with orders to join the 513th
Engineers Service Battalion for over
seas service. When he arrived his or
ders were delayed and the company
left before his arrival. He was then
put in the Field Hospital Co. 357 and
detailed from there to Fort Sam
Houston, Texas; on a hookworm sur
vey Of troops Of TT. Sam Houston,
Camp Travis and Kelly Field. Last
June he was sent to General Hospi-
tai No. 16 at New Haven, Conn, for
a course of instruction in diseases OF
the chest. He remained there two
weeks then went to Fort Wadsworth,
Staten Island, New York where he
examined the 10th Coast Artillery
regiment for overseas, returning on
completion Of same to New Haven,
Conn, on August 1 to General Hos
pital No. Is at Waynesville, North
Carolina. This was big hospital
where tubercular and gas cases from
overseas were treated, and he re-
manned on duty there until mustered
out.
The captain has seen a lot of SER
vice in the past year and half, and
the fact that he was advanced to q
Captaincy is evidence that his SER
vices were very meritorious. Captain
JEWELS record as a physician and
surgeon is an excellent one and his
ability was quickly recognized when
he enlisted his services to the army.
He has had a wonderful experience
during the past eighteen months, an
experience that will be of great value
to him in the practice of his profess
sion here. He will open his office here
again at once, and will be welcomed
back again by everyone.

THE DEATH RECORD.
RUFUS MILTON FRIEND

At his residence, Swanton, Mary
land, September 9Th, 1919, following a
long and wasting illness, Rufus Mil
ton Friend. Close to the spot of his
demise he was born August 5th, 1877,
and dying September Sth, 1919, he was
aged AZ years, one month and three
days. The subject of this notice was
the son of the late Andrew G. Friend,
and lived his entire life in Swanton
engaged in agricultural pursuits,
clearing out and building up a COM
Portable home just beyond the town
limits. Until rather more than
year back, Mr.. Friend was a farmer in
rudy health with every reasonable
promise of long and robust life. A
cloud came over those prospects. An
insidious, if not an incurable malady
made an unsupported appearance,
causing such serious apprehensions as
to induce the local physician to take
the afflicted man to a Cumberland hos
pltal for more satisfactory eXamina-
ton and professional application. But
the added skill only the more convinc-
ingly developed the dreaded truth, and
after fruitless remedies the doomed
patient was returned to his home to
wait the irrevocable summons in that
early Monday morning of September
the 9Th, 1919. January 18th, 1908,
Mr.. Friend was married to Miss Laura
Mosser, daughter of the late Daniel
Mosser. No children were born of
this marriage and the husband is sur
vived by his widow and two brothers
and two sisters. He was man of
regulated habits, free in their ex-
emption from dissipation, and possess
sed genial nature heightened by a
truly obliging disposition. His faith
and confidence in a Divine assurance
not only shown out through the last
weakening days, but dispelled the
gathering gloom when the spirit took
its flight beyond mortal gaze.

at Caldwell, N J., where he took the
first prize FOR the best of-hand rife
shot at two hundred yards. AS this
was national match end he stood
first in a class of fifty, making 95
per cent, he can be classed as one of
the best rifemen in the United
States. Until recently he was en-
gagged in training soldiers in marks
nlanship at Camp Funston, Kansas,
being thus engaged for upwards of
two years. While on his furlough he
and his brother attended the 25th
annual reunion of the Brown family
Of Preston county, West Va, at which
gathering there were about three
hundred Browns and their family con-
nections present.

is THE PRESIDENT BEGINNING
TO SEE THE LIGHT?

The Presidents utterances at Occur
d'Alene and at Spokane indicate some
notifications of his hitherto unquali-
fed demand for acceptance of the
treaty as it stands, without even such
trifing changes as the crossing Of a
ST., the dotting of an ''i'' or the writ
ing of foot note.
In the territory of which the public
sentiment is represented in the Senate
by such uncompromising critics of the
instrument as Mr.. Barah and Mr..
Poindexter, the President makes an
important concession to the sentiment
for reservations to the provisions of
the treaty.
Such a concession is plainly sug-
gested by Mr.. Wilson's declaration:
1t is perfectly feasible, my fell
low-countrymen, if we put inter
pretations upon the treaty, which
its language clearly warrants, to
notify the other governments of
the world that we do understand
the treaty in that sense. 1t is per
fectly feasible to do that, and per-
fectly honorable to do that, be-
cause, mark you, nothing can be
done under this treaty through
the instrumentality of the Council
of the League of Nations, except
by unanimous vote.
And again still further developing
his new view of the possibility of in
terpretative reservations to the
treaty.
There is not any phrase in the
covenant of the League of Nations
that can legitimately be said to be
of doubtful meaning, but if the
Congress of the United States
wants to state the meaning over
again in other words and say to
the other nations of the world,
"We understand the treaty to
mean that it says, l think that is
work of supererogation, but do
not see any moral objection to it.
Is the President beginning to sense
the force of the current of public
sentiment that is setting in for reser-
yations that shall fully safeguard
American traditions, American rights
and the American spirit
