CAR is STRUCK
AT CROSSING
Automobile Belonging to Vim. Graham,
Resident West Of Alexandria, is
Hit by No. 10 Going South
Last Night.

An automobile owned and driven by
William Graham, a resident five miles
west Of Alexandria, Mo-, was struck
last night by train number ten, of the
Burlington. going south, at the rail,
road crossing just outside the town at
the crossing where the roads from
Keokuk and Wayland merge into the
one going into Alexandria. No one
was hurt and the car not badly dam
aged.
Mr.. Graham was alone in his car.
He was driving to this crossing when
his engine stalled on the tracks, When
he saw the approaching train, he got
out of the machine and the engineer
Of number ten seeing the car there
was able to stop without hitting the
automobile with force enough to
smash it.
The accident occurred about $50
O'Clock, at the crossing which is less
than a mile from the cooperage plant
located along the tracks north OF tbs
station at Alexandria.

butter production, yet with all the
progress that has been made there
a surprisingly large number Of scrub
bulls are being used in dairy herds.
A bulletin recently compiled by the
agricultural extension service of the
college Of agriculture of the Univer-
sity of Wisconsin states that of the
100000 dairy cows, 100000 are
being bred to grade and scrub bulls.
This means that there are thousands
of heifer calves which the better
buyers will not buy, simply because
they are not sired by pure-bred bulls.
Contrasting associations in that
state show that cows sired by pure
bred bulls produce annually from
forty-nine to eighty-five pounds more
butterfat apiece than cows sired by
grade or scrub bulls At only twenty
five pounds a COW, if those 1900, 600
cows were sired by pure-breds in
stead of grades and scrubs, the in
creased production would be 10000
600 pounds of butterfat At so cents
a pound this would amount to $15,-

BAN BRAKES
THAT DRAG
Motorists are Warned That There Is
Heavy Drain on Car That Has
Them and Suggestion is
Made for Remedy.

Dragging brakes cause American
motorists to suffer large pecuniary
losses each year. When either emer-
gency or service set has continual
contact between lining and drum, 1t
means not only needless consumption
of power and fuel, but also excessive
wear on the entire driving mechan-
ism of the car, to say nothing done
Ito the brakes and their Innings.
| You can easily learn if your brakes
are dragging by the following simple
process: After placing the gears in
neutral, jack up the rear wheels, one
lat time, and turn them over by
hand. If they give forth rubbing
or scraping sound, or II they turn
with unusual difficulty, they are drag
gin. The remedy lies in adjusting the
brake affected so that tho wheel
turns easily and without friction be
tween band and drum. At the same
time see that the brake takes hold
firmly when in operation.

The Caucasus. once a tabled land
of rivers of gold and rich vineyards,
is the traditional home Of the white
the European slope the Caucasus is
flanked by the Cossacks Of the Don,
Kuban and Terek, along whose banks
the famous Count Tolstoy served as
young soldier. On the Asiatic side
there are the new republics of Geor-
gia, Azerbaijan and Armenit, partly
carved from Russia, partly from
Turkish lands
b At one time there were 800 tribes
and dialects in the region, 300 miles
long and 100 miles broad, which was
called the Mountain of Languages y
Within the Caucasus itself there are
still many strange tribes. There are
the Mingrelians, Imeretians, Gurians,
Swans. Khevsurs, Tushes, Abkhasi-
ans, Kabards, Ossessians, Lesghians
Tochetchens and Tartars, all huddled
in region so lacking in roads and
modern communications that each tribe
is as isolated as though it possessed
a continent Of its own.
The broad fields of the north eau,
casus, which sweep gently up toward
the slopes, produce some Of Rusisa's
most abundant grain crops. A little
deeper among the foothills, hundreds
of thousands Of sheep Y roam the
slopes, climbing toward the eternal
summer returning to the valleys OF
the Kuban and the Terek when the
cold of winter sweeps through the
few passes that pierce the long noun
tain barrier. North Caucasia, Or Cts
caucasua, abounds in oil.

Jim Davis and
Judge M'Pherson

Burlington Gazette: Everybody in
southeastern Iowa knows Jim Davis
lof keokuk, one of the keenest lawyers
and best fellows in America and GER
tainly every lawyer remembers the
ilate Smith Mcpherson of Red Oak,
iable jurist and quaint character.
! Davis and Mcpherson were the best
of friends and when the latter held
federal court in Keokuk, he often
stayed at the Davis home, then
lgraciously presided over by Jim's sis
ter, Miss Anne Davis.
| Friends of both gentlemen like 10
tell OF a suit, and an important one,
which Mr.. Davis had before Judge
Mcpherson once upon time Mr..
Davis made mastery argument and
the decision was, of course, up to the
Judge, who kept his friend Davis on
the anxious seat until late in the
AFTERNOON when he met him and
asked:
/ rs your sister homer"
"She is" replied Mr.. Davis. NJ.
| You will see her at superb
Gueried the Judge.
/ "Of course I'll see her" was the
answer.
| Well, drawled Mcpherson, when
you do, just tell her that her broth er
lost his damd old lawsuit
! Burlington friends of Mr.. Davis
will be interested to learn that Mr..
Davis has recently been appointed
general counsel of the railroad ad-
administration, with headquarters at
Washington. Previous to his appoint
ment he was general counsel of the
Northwestern railroad.
1t is limited that Jim's friends
throughout Iowa want him to make
/ the race for the republican senatorial
nomination against Kenyon four
years hence. IF they can prevail upon
Mr.. Davis to enter the contest, the
lpresent senator will have an oppo-
inent more than worthy of his steel.
james G.. Davis is a man of real sena-
| torial calibre He is big Drained, big
hearted, chuck full of wit and humor
and hard common sense, an able
speaker and. if elected to the senate,
would exercise an influence there far
beyond that Of the present incumbent.

ROMAN VASE AT
GRACE CHURCH
It Is Relic Of Remote Past. and
Stands Inside Iron Fence Of
Building at Eleventh and
Broadway.

One Of the oldest man made things
on public exhibition in New York
City, says the Evening Sun, is the
Roman vase, or urn, in the grounds
Of Grace church, at Broadway and
Eleventh street. Standing inside the
iron fence, thousands pass it each
day without knowing that it is a relic
Of the remote past.
The vase, believed to be more than
5000 years old, has been standing in
the Grace church grounds for about
thirty years. 1t is one Of pair dug
up when excavations were being
made for the foundation of the Ameri-
can church in Rome. ...
The vases, or urns, exactly alike,
were sent to America by the late
Rev. Dr.. Nevins, rector Of the church
in Rome. One vase went to the late
Rev. DR.. w. r. Huntington, rector OF
Grace church, and the other went to
the late Miss Catharine Lorillard
,, Wolfe as a token Of recognition OF
her generous support in founding the
American church Of Rome. Miss
Wolfe sent her vase to her Newport,
r. H., home. She is known 10 many
New Workers and visitors 20 The city
as the donor Of a collection or paint
fngs to the Metropolitan Museum OF
Art.
AS in the case Of the obelsk in
Central park, before steps were taken
to save it, the climate Of New York
is proving too much for the surface
of the Grace church vase, and 1t is
scaling away gradually. Efforts have
been made, without much success, 10

RESPONSE to Call for Help in World
Struggle Was Prompt and State
Gave to tho
Limit.
10000 MEN UNIFORMED
This Number from Every County and
District in the State Besides
1900 Civilians Helped
Win War.

The report of the adjutant general
of the state OF Iowa, recently pub
lished, is a revelation Of interesting
facts, few of which were previously
known generally, since the close uf
the war. The report begins with sta
'tistics concerning the number OF men
from the state of Iowa in various
branches of active service during the
world war.
Almost Immediately on returning
from the Mexican border, Iowa
guardsmen were ordered in service
and the total number who responded
to the call between March 26 and
July Is, 1917, was 9,719. Many re-
cruits joined the guardsmen after
muster and draft into federal service,
but these enlistment records were
sent to the war department by the
recruiting officers. Iowa guard units
sent into service did remarkable work
and were all-ef1icient, but only one
of the units ever experienced any
battlefield service, that one being the
Third Iowa infantry, part of the Forty
isecond or Rainbow division. Three
fifths of the enlisted men of the
Third when it left Iowa, had been
for some time in the ranks of this
regiment and two-fifths were guards
men transferred from the First and
Second regiments. AS a result it was
ia representative Iowa national guard.

$4,000 Civilians Served.

During the administration of the
selective service law nearly $4,000
men and women in every county and
city in the state served in various
capacities under the direction of the
governor, and this force used more
than 100000 blank forms in carry
ing out the rules of the provost mar
shall. Iowa was always prompt in
meeting the requirements of the gov
eminent.
Approximately 10000 officers and
men from Iowa served in the army,
navy and marine corps in the war
against the central powers, and Of
this number 9,719 were national
guard men, while 1884 nn'ered the
national army through the selective
service law. The report of the Sec
rotary of war says that Iowa is cred
tied with 5000 men in the army; the
navy shows 10000 men in that branch
