keokuk viii Do Her Part.

"Keokuk has given generously of
clothing in former drives, and the
Red Cross workers are expecting the
full quota asked of this city," said
Ia Red Cross worker today.
Everybody can find something to
give. One mother may give dress
for little girl in Servia, another a
suit for little boy in Armenia, and
someone else will send a warm
article of clothing for some poor
woman shivering in the blasts of
Siberia. Every Keokuk person will
give something"
The collecting will be made with
the minimum of effort to any one
person, by everybody helping.
There is to be a receiving station
in every block, and the junior mem
bers of the Red Cross will collect the
individual bundles and take them to
that house. Then, a great truck will
carry the bundles from these receiv-
ing houses to a building on Main
street for packing and shipping.

The petition alleges that the de-
famatory words set out in full were
spoken maliciously and with intent
to injure Miss Finerty, and damaged
her social position and reputation to
the extent of $4,000.
II, in addition, alleges that these
same words caused many persons to
refuse to patronize Miss Ffnerty, who
would otherwise have done so, and
she asks another $4,000 for this dam.

Teddy" is now on a speaking tour
of the country In the behalf of the
Legion. He is due in Oregon in Sep

will be changed for a week later in
order that he may be speaker at the
first state convention of the Legion
to be held in Portland September "a,
25 and 26.
The same week that Oregon Is
holding its convention the state of
Washington plans its state meeting,
so that Roosevelt will be able to at

MILITARY WANTS
INFORMATION HERE
County Court Hesitates When Called
Upon to Spend $3.50 1t Hasn't Got.
Adjutant General Would Turn
Judge Campbell Over to
the Government.

The United States Government
turned the draft over to the local
county governments and the. thing
was put over. Now they want GER
tain military information for a big
military map of the United States
and have asked Morrow county to
appropriate $3.50 to be used for the
work in this county. The work
would be complete In detail, taking
in the location Of all roads, the
grades Of each, the location of hills,
mountains, and streams as we'll as
springs and other sources Of water
supply.
Several weeks ago Major W. H.
Emrick of Portland was in Heppner
to get lined out with the county court
in regard to the mater. In the alb
sence Of Judge Campbell, the blanks
and information data were turned
over to the county clerk.
Later the county court met and af-
ter discussing the matter came to the
conclusion that Morrow county would
be rather hard put to finance it, in
asmuch as they did not have the $3.50
and had made no allowance in the
budget for such a sum. They then
wrote to Governor Olcott, notifying
him of the stand they had taken in
the matter and he in turn referred the
letter to Adjutant General Stafrin
In the letter to the Governor, judge
Campbell and the commissioners, E
l.. Padberg and George Bleakman
pointed out that they did not feel jus.
titled in having the work undertaken
unless it was absolutely necessary.
The adjutant general wrote to Gov
ernor Olcott concerning the situation
and the letter was forwarded tC
Judge Campbell. In part, the adju
tant generals letter said:
Until the objection of Judge
Campbell was made, only one othel
county judge in Oregon had objected
to making an appropriation. He wa'
referred to the War Department ant
after they got through with him h'
was very glad to make the necessar!
appropriation. If it is desired, thu
same treatment will be accorded
Judge Campbell"
Continuing, the adjutant genera
says, ut is the opinion of the mill
tary establishment that this worl
should be continued by all mean
- = and this department, If it i
deemed advisable by you, will be gla,
to turn Judge Campbell over to tn
War Department. However, this ma.
not be necessary"
1t is believed that a satisfactor
settlement will be effected and Nor
row county will do everything tha
can reasonably be required. AS t.
turning Judge Campbell over to tn
War Department" we fail to Sc
where any serious offence has bee
committed that would warrant sue

eral.
