This Wonderful Age,

1t is a wonderful age in which We
are privileged to live, says the st.
Paul Pioneer Press. We have seen
men sail beneath the sea like fish;
we have seen them soar above the
clouds like eagles; We have spoken
across the ocean without even a wire
to carry the vibrations of our
voices, and we have listened to the
reproduction of our words and songs
from a contraption of wood and wax
in a word, we have seen the things
which have been for ages regarded
as natural law set at complete def
ance. Despite all the problems which
make modern life complex and di'
fficult. can you think of another age
in which you would have preferred
to live?--

Expensive Economy.

The Express has received a copy
of the premium list of the Shelby
county fair, to be held at Harlan next
week. 1t is a dandy premium list,
printed in Bismark, n. D. The Ex-
press had supposed Harlan contained
at least a job printing plant that
could turn out premium list. This
is a grand way to build up Harlan
and Shelby county, and the hearts
of the newspaper men must swell
with pride as they look upon thier
county fair and it's Bismark, IN. d.
premium list. 1t is splendid adver-
tisement of how pig-headed the
directorate must be: We are glad
Harlan is so far away, as we don't
care to see fair of that kind

INFLUENZA AND
TYPHOID FEVER
DIR. Sumner, Head of State Health
Board FOrsees Outbreaks of In
fuenza and Typhoid Dur
ing Autumn and Winter
DECLARES NO PREVENTATIVE
'-.... FOR INFLUENZA
Opinion Of Many Phys clans is That
Those Who Once Had the Dis
ease are Immune

Des MOines, Ia.-Influenza and
typhoid fever will both be present
during the autumn and winter, in
the opinion of DR.. Sumner. Typhoid
fever is usually prevalent during the
fall OF the year especially if the sea-
son has been dry. Cases of this dis
ease are being reported to the state
board of health practically every day
now and while there are no epidemics
there are communities which have
several cases.
Secretary Sumner of the state
health board has limited supply
of typhoid vaccine which he is dis
tributing free to local boards Of
health and health officials.
He declares that as soon as peo-
pie begin to live indoors the influenza
epidemic will reappear. He says the
death toll may be serious but not Sc
serious as last year. He declares fur
ther that there is no known preven
tative for influenza. i
THE best means of preventing in
fuenza is common sense, lie said in
Ia statement issued today. Avoid
infected persons and large crowds OF
people and above all do not become
excited or get panicky."
However, there are those who do
not agree with the idea that because
Influenza was prevalent a year ago ii
will again prevail this fall and win
ter. There is theory that this dis
ease, originated in Europe and
spread thruout the world because OF
the soldiers and others travelling
back and forth and because large
numbers of men were congregated in
confined areas.
1t is the option of many physic,
ians that those who have once had
the disease are immune but this is
another point on which doctors do
not agree. On this point DR.. Sumner
says:
In comforting with a large num-
Der of physicians here it is believed
that persons who suffered from in
fuenza and recovered last year will
be less susceptible, if not immune
this year"

WRITES TO WORLD

Capt. A. Il. Conrad, of Decorah,
Gives His Views About Recent
War and What the Soldiers
Can Do in the Future
HE ISgAN OFFICER
IN RESERVE CORPS
Says the 100000 Ex-SOldiers Can
Control tie Vote at the Polls
? and Bar Out Political
Quacks.

You have just been serving in the
greatest history making event that
the world has ever seen. You have
been given the greatest privilege that
could be bestowed on a trae AMERI-
CAN. You have been soldiers of the
greatest army of the greatest
achievement in history. said "the
army of greatest achievement "
Listen:-The most optimistic mind
never dreamed that from a trained
neucleus Of less than one hundred
and twenty thousand to start from,
that a great army of four and three
quarter million could be built up,
equipped, trained, and put into the
field, over 100000 be transported
across the Atlantic and break up the
morale and fighting efficiency of the
greatest war machine ever built, and
bring to their knees all in the short
space OF a year and a half. THE
GREATEST ACHIEVEMENT IN
HISTORY. |, for one, am proud to
wear the uniform of the army of the
United States in that most noble
cause. | am so proud to be identified
with it that l have joined the Re-
serves and am at this time an officer
in the Reserve Corps.
Now that the war is over and vic
tory is assured to us, our work as a
soldier is not finished. We are dis
charged from the army which is now
being demobilized faster than it was
formed, as fast as is SAFE But now
that it's work in the field is practi-
cally finished, ii is the duty of every
A mo nrinov, 10
on the political, legislative and execu-
tive bodies of our government to see
that right and justice for which we
fought and suffered and bled and for
which quarter of million of our
brave fellows made the supreme
sacrifice, continues to prevail. Four
million of ex-soldiers can control the
vote at the polls and sway elections
to prevent the political sinister and
the party boss from converting the
honest purpose of our congress and
orr state legislature into the means
of private benefits. We have sacrific-
ed and suffered in the cause of JUS
tice and liberty and now 1t is our
privilege and duty to protect those
principles bv organizing into an in
soluable body for that purpose.
The veterans of the civil war or
ganized themselves into that noble
band, the Grand Army OF the Re-
public. and have been the means of
rendering themselves and the count
w an inestimable amount of good.
Every discharged soldier of this
world war should identify himself
with the American Legion for per-
sonal and public good. We should
get together and keep together and
encamp together everv year and
cement ourselves together into feI-
lowship and brother love that the
country may be safe from Bolshevism
and Anarchy.

Treaty and League of
Nations Covenant

Approving the stand taken by Sem

the senators for their stand and for
the fight they are making for the

endorsement:
We, the Undersigned, residents of

hereby place ourselves on record as
endorsing the stand taken by our
honored senators, A. B. Cummins
and w. S. Kenyon, in their contest
for the preservation of those rights
for which we and our forefathers
have fought for so many years.
We believe in the Declaration of
independence of the United States,
the long continued policy that those
CT honored names have made one of
the traditions of this country, the
principles laid down by Washington
and by Lincoln, which have been a
sure guide during years that have
past, and believing in these things.
present this memorial, that the
world may know that We, of this
county, and of the grand state of
Iowa, are opposed to any policy
which will make the word America
merely a name, and not nation.

LASTS UNTIL SEPT
Elks of Iowa VIII Raise $60O,OL
for the Iowa Salvation Army
Home Service Fund

In order to elevate the present
process of the Salvation Army in
securing revenue to support their
operations throughout this country
and to forever eliminate the necessity
of drum head contributions" a
campaign for $14,000,00O is to be
made in the United States from Sept.
21 to 80.
Iowa's quota to be subscribed IL
$60O,000, and Winneshiek county's
is $24OO.
Having become interested as an
order in the operations Of the Sal
walton Army because OF the tremen-
dous success of their work abroad
and realizing their need OF finance +,
to further their work in this country
the Benevolent Protective Order of
Elks is backing the campaign in this
state and is making preparations
that they hope will lead 70 an over
subscription of the quota.
Five hundred thousand dollars OF
this amount is to be used by the Sal
walton Army in the state in the con-
struction of buildings in the prin.
ciple cities to serve as rescue homes
and social centers under the control
of the army.
Possibly few people stop to analize
the work being done by the Salvation
Army, the scope of their efforts,
their various methods, and the sue
cess they have attained since their
organization in this country forty
years ago.
In the past ten years they have
secured employment for 100000
men, have cared for 10000 women
in their rescue homes, have spent
1,225,000 hours in the slums of the
bigger cities helping the poor; they
have secured over 5O,00O,000 meals
have furnished lodgings to $4,000
900 people and their meetings have
been attended by 217,000,00O people
Of all ages and classes.
Every returned soldier will tell
you Of their work during the war
and none will say that any place was
too vile or frought with too much
danger for them to help our boys.
Now they ask our help to help
them continue their work. The Elks
will help. Will you?
