AMERICAN IS RONONED
Carries Sword of Honor in
Shakespeare Parade.
First Time in History Foreigner Has
Taken Part in Stratford
Ceremony.

London.-A very graceful compli-
ment was paid to the United States
in general and the American army in
particular when the mayor of STRAIT
fOrd-On-AvOn invited Col. f. f. Long
ley to carry the sword of honor in the
annual parade to the Stratford church.
This is the first time in the history
of the town that citizen Of for
eign nation has been asked to take
such leading part in this annual
ceremony. 49,
Over thirty American officers, who
are residing at Stratferd-on-Avon
while taking instruction in various
branches of learning, were also in
vited to take part in the parade, and
they formed guard of honor for the
mayor and town councillors.
Sir Sidney Lee, chairman of the
trustees of Shakespeare's birthplace,
had invited several noted Americans
to StratfOrd for a weekend visit
among the guests being John A. Stew
art and Maj. and Mrs. l.. L. Seaman,
representing the Sulgrave institution
(American branch); Col. Longley and
representatives of the United States
navy, A. d. Flower, mayor of STRAIT
ford, and Sir Frank Benson assisted
in receiving the guests, and 1t was
suggested that they should be invited
to take part in the ceremonial parade
to the church. .r."
The dean of Exeter preached the
sermon, and he referred to the pres
ence of the Americans. All the mu-
nicipal officers of the town were pres
emit in full regalia, and the quaint
and unique sight was thoroughly en-
joyed by the visitors and guests.

English Hospital Where Animals

Camden Town, Eng.-One OF the
most remarkable hospitals in the world
Is that of the Royal Veterinary college
here, where more than 5000 animals
are treated every year at a cost of
over $4,000 per annum.
1t is most palatial edifice, and con-
tains a pharmacy and operating thea

modating eighty or more in-patients.pr
Horses with broken legs are pro

A law has been placed upon the stat

For the person who draws and
utters a worthless check for an amount

Harvesting by Lantern Light.

Atlantic, 1a.-So great is the rush
of harvest in Cass county farmers
are harvesting their wheat at night.
Lanterns are hung on the binders
to light the way. In some instances
tractors are used and the binders
are kept running all night long.
There is dearth of harvest help
in the county. The shortage just now
is, acute. Farmers are appealing to
the commercial club and farm bur-
eau to get them help. At Griswold
and in some other towns of the coun'
ty the clerks have left the stores and
gone out to help gather the grain
Many women on the farms are help
ing with the shocking.
The wheat acreage is many times
larger than ever before and the
growth is exceptionally heavy
Practically very field OF wheat i

HUNTING FOR HANDOUTS.
Glass of These Seekers Busy as
Bees at Back Doors of the
Newspaper Offices

All the tramps are not dead or
asleep. A class of handout seekers
are busy as bees at the back doors
of the newspaper officts hints the
Marsholltown Times-Republican.
The mails are full of the effects Of
those handout seekers. A firm up in
Michigan sells machine to Australi-
ans. 1t Immediately fills the mails
with alleged news service" Shrewd-
ly it suggests that this machine is
to be used by crippled soldiers. That
appeal may get the stuff" by. Then
it describes the machine, as a Won
derful product spanning the ages"
and the hAndout scorpion writes
the name of the firm on its machine
into every other line.
A tire firm is a persistent beggar
at the back door. 1t has grabbed the
good roads agitation wherewith to
camouflage. it's begging for advertis-
ing hand outs. 1t urges good roads. I"
Into its urgency it manages to in
sert the name of the tire company
time after time, quotes interviews
with the president and vice president
and anyone else to whose name it
can tack to the tire and the camou-
tagged ad. 1t also has the nerve to
ask that copies of the paper contain
ing the Interview be sent its offic-
ers" and suggests that marked copies
might be sent here and there to
great advantage" 1t not only asks
for handout but demands basket
to carry it in.
Now there is one main, reason for
tramps at the back door of homes
foolish people feed them. They know
the easy marks. 1t is the part of one
gaycat to leave hieroglyphics here
and there for the guidance and adj
vantage of the tramps who may
happen along after him. e
There's reason for the prevail
ence and pertinancity of those adver-
Using grafters. Somebody is fool
enough to feed them. They get the
grub at the back door or there
wouldn't be line of them at every
mornings mail.
There is something humiliating
about it to real business men in the
newspaper profession whether up
rto;rc nv doup fh;c moro Nv loco
general idea of the advertising graft
er that Iowa newspapers are "easy
marks" Why should the ad gaycat
get by at the editorial door when a
husky tramp is told to work before
he gets anything to eat at the kitch-
en- door?
Why feed an ad tramp without a
contract or the cash in hand?

problem of selecting a referee. and
possibly two judges for the heavy
weight championship contest be-
tween Jess willard and Jack

to be settled before night.
The consensus seems to be that
in addition to a referee two judges
would be named. The boxing board
has expressed a preference to this
manner of deciding the contest,
and as neither Willard nor Demp-
sey has made any objection, the
plan may receive it's first American
tryout in the heavyweight cham
pionship contest Therefore it
would be called upon TO render a
decision only in case of disagree

Willard planned to do no work
today because he desired to give
his sparring partners a rest as well,
as taking a day off himself.

$500 Paid Admissions.

Toledo, Ohio, June 2S.-With the

crowds that have seen Jess Will

to date packed the camps of the
heavyweight rivals yesterday
Forty-eight hundred persons paid

eye apparently impaired his judg-

said he would improve as he con-
tinues work and that he should be
at his best within a week.
Willard boxed the usual eight
rounds and did three of shadow
boxing and other exercises. 1t was
the tamest workout the champion
has had in several days. He exerted
himself only in the two rounds he
boxed Walter Monahan. He al
lowed the other three sparring
partners to hit him when and
where they pleased while he stood
