ASSERTS IOWA IS
STRONG IN FAVOR
Of GEN. PERSH|NC
J. G. Sorenson Of Davenport
Reports Scott County Lead
ing State In Backing Army
Head.

Scott County, Iowa. of which
Davenport is the seat, is for Gen
eral Pershing for president" said ].
g. Sorenson OF Davenport, who has
returned to his home after a visit
with his brother, Alfred Sorenson,
editor and publisher Of the Omaha
Examiner. and old-time Omaha
newspaper man. a .. .-.
General Pershing is tremendously
popular not only in Scott county,
but. so far as | have been able to
learn, throughout Iowa." Mr.. Soren-
son continued. "The cX-service men
who served with him overseas recog-
nize in their old commander not
only a great soldier, but a high
minded, warm-hearted man with a
broad outlook upon the affairs of
the world, and one In every way
qualified by natural endowment, by
training and by experience to fill
acceptably the Office of chief execu-
tive of the nation.
"Of course, good many of the
boys came back from France feel
ing pretty sore about things mill
tary. Some of them came back feel
ing that General Pershing was per-
sonally to blame for the mud they
had to wade through and everything
else connected with the service that
they didn't like, but now that they
have got far enough away to see
the thing effectively, they realize
that what they wen, through was
war, and that it was not General
Pershing, but the enemy they went
overseas to fight that was to blame
for the hardships they were called
upon to endure. ...--. ..
Il live, you know, over on the
Mississippi river. not so very far
from where Abraham Lincoln used
to live" Mr.. Sorenson went on.
Some newspaper writer suggests
that General Pershing's life was not
unlike that of the martyr president
These two great Americans did 60
through pretty similar experiences
when thsy were young. The writer
to whom | refer says:
"Jack' Pershing, like Lincoln,
was not born with a gold spoon
in his mouth nor was he handed out
the good things of life on a silver
platter. Just as the 'rail-splitter OF
Illinois cut fence rails and took
other odd jobs to gain sufficient
funds to give him livelihood, so
Pershing fought his early battles III
preparation for the great work
ahead OF him.
Split so Rails a Day.
"At the age of IA, young Jack
Pershing, with an inborn desire to
study and gain knowledge, sough!
the same vocation in which the inn
mortal Lincoln got his start. h.
split fifty rails a day. During the
period when this work was scarce
he hired out as section hand on the
railroad at $1.05 per day, boarding
himself
when he was Is years of age he
and his brother, James Pershing,
now in Chicago, raised 90 acres OF
corn, husked, harvested and sold it.
Like Lincoln, and for that matter,
most of our great men, Pershing
came from humble parents and was
developed amid humble Surround
ings. The ends he achieved he
nerited through hard work and
grinding experiences. Perhaps that
humble origin and the necessity of
fighting for every advancement he
gained accounts more than anything
else for the splendid success he has
attained.o

HOUSE WAS BURNING
WHILE FAMILY SLEPT

a One of the tenant houses Of Carl B.
Abbott, on the south pike, occupied
by Mr.. and Mrs. Burt Van Devier
was destroyed by fire on Tuesday
morning about o'clock, and but for
the timely awakening Of Mrs. Van
Devier, both she and her husband
might have lost their lives.
Mrs. Van Devier, sensing the odo1
of smoke, aroused her husband, who
made a casual investigation, but did
not discover the fire. A few moments
later, however, the smoke increased
and the reflection of freight thru the
window proved the correctness Of Mfs
Van Devier's fears. The fire had orig
mated in the woodshed and spread tc
such an extent as to preclude any pos.
sibility Of saving the building. The
family with the, assistance of neigh
bors were able to remove everything
of value from the lower rooms,- and 8
few from the chamber.
There had been no fire in the wood
shed previously, nor in the htcher
adjoining since the previous after
noon, say the Van Deviers. The build
ing was insured.
