HOSPITAL AS MEMORIAL.
Big Project Planned i'm Honor of
Bloomfield Soldiers

The Davis county Red Cross will
start a campaign in few days to
erect county memorial for the 900
soldier boys who were called to the
army from Davis county. A COM
mittee has recommended that the
Red Cross of Davis county build a
memorial hospital to cost 100000,
the hospital to be built and endowed
by the donation of Liberty bonds.
Five hundred citizens will be ask
ed to give a 500 Liberty bond and
1000 citizens will be asked to give
each a $50 Liberty bond The plan
of the hospital building will require
$4,000. The building will have a
memorial room containing the names
in permanent form of the 600 sol.
der boys who went from Davis
county into the army. A ten day
campaign will be started next week
to raise the amount through the Red
Cross chapters and auxiliaries.
The above was Winneshiek coun-
tvs idea of building a memorial to
the soldiers and sailors of this coun-
ty, and we understand the committee
appointed some time ago is prepar-
ing to carry this program out.

lowing concerning Capt. NJ. D..
Jewell, of DEBORAH, who recently re-
ceived his discharge from the army,

tachment of this hospital, was dis
charged this week and will spend
some time in Chicago before return
ing to his practice at DEBORAH, Iowa.

lied in general surgery and genito-
urinary work. He entered the serv-
ice in August, 1917, took the train
ing course at FIT. Riley, Kansas, and

in recognition of his efficient work
here as ward surgeon, and as Com
handing Officer of the Detachment

nected with the hospital.

The enterprising company in the

My Dear Mrs. Danielson-As
chaplain of the 16Sth Infantry am
writing you this letter, with SYM
rathy concerning your sons death.
No doubt you will have had govern
ment notification.
Your son, Helof G. Holm, serial
No. 1OOS92 of Co. E. 1913 Infantry,
was killed on July 26th by machine
gun fire while advancing with his
platoon on the German lines, and
was buried by me on the 2Sth, six
miles east and two miles north of
Epieds, near the Croix Rouge Farm.
Grave No. 8 OBJ, map of Conde-en-
Brie. Reported by w. E. Robb. The

file in that Office. The grave is we'll
marked by cross bearing name and
organization.
1t is officially understood that all
bodies will be taken home at the
close of the war.
Helof had a splendid record as a
soldier and you should be very proud
of your son. He made the greatest
sacrifice for the greatest cause, and
l feel certain his reward is equally
as great with the Master, in whom
we all trust. If l can be of service to
you or any of Helof's loved ones do
not hesitate to write.

Importuning the Customer.

CARS" said a mild hammered man
who went into one Of the chain
stores of tobacconist corporation.
The cigar he pointed out was fif-
tie, cents straight. He reached for
his wallet and drew forth a dollar
bill.
He took three cigars and passed
over the bank note.
Seven for a dollar" said the
salesman glibly. Take seven and
save money"
The purchaser shook his head.
The salesman went to the register,
rang up the purchase and, coming
back held the fifty-five cents in his
hand while he resumed: Better take
seven of those cigars. Can't get bet
ter value for your money. No? We'll
isn't there something else you want!
yes" said the customer, my
change"
And the mild hammered man walk
ed out. That was the third time he
had been in that store. He does not
intend to go in there again. Each
time the salesman was importunate'
Salesman" is a wrong term to APP
ply to that man. He is a trade killer.
