FON EhAL OF WILLIAM EMGE
The funeeal of William Emge was
held from st. Patrick's church, Sun
day at p. M, and was attended by
large concourse of people.
VIM. Emge, a member of the bal
loon squadron of the famous First
Division, passed away at Coblenz,
Germany, on Feb. 16, 1919. His out
fit was about ready to start for home
when he was stricken with pneumon-
ia from which he died on the above
date.
The body arrived here late Satur-
day night and it was taken in charge
by the American Legion who MAIN
tanned a constant guard over it until
the mortal remains were laid to rest
in Mt. Carmel cemetery, beside the
body of his mother, who had passed
away while he was in France.
The American Legion boys, the fir
ing squad, the Red Cross women and
hundreds of friends assembled at the

hero to st. Patricks church. There
Rev. M. II. Nolan and Rev. McDer-
mott OF Woodbine, preached very elo-
quent and touching sermons. Father

was consigned to Mother earth, to
remain until that Resurrection Morn.
| William Emge, graduate of the
local High School and just beginning
to assume his place in life, was very
we'll and favorably known by large
circle of friends. When the call to
arms came he responded and was but
one of the many whom fate decreed
should make the supreme sacrifice in
the defense of his Country.
| His comrades have done all they
could for him and his resting place
will be hallowed ground.

IOWA SECTION on LINCOLN
WAY IN BEST CONDITION
Much Good Work In Progress
In State

Much Good Work In Progress
In State
Detroit, Mich.-Even when known
as a ''dyed in the wool' mud roads
state, vast interest and appreciation
of the Lincoln Highway existed in
Iowa, and the 385 miles of the route
across that commonwealth has long
been known as the dry weather boule-
ward. Native Iowa soil is 100 per
cent efficient for raising corn, but
anything but that when used as high
way material After a rain, the
gumbo mud Of Iowa on the Lincoln
Highway offers poor going for any
type of motor vehicle.
However, Iowa has seen the light
and is emerging from the handicap
of mud road limitations. Out of the
80 Iowa counties, 90 have construc-
tive programs outlined, comprising
321 miles of paving, 207.s3 miles of
gravel surfacing and 1308.S miles of
earth road construction under way in
1920.
In addition to the work planned
and financed for the Lincoln Highway
in 1919 and carried over into 1920 for
completion, eight out of thirteen Lin
coin Highway counties in the state
have this year constructive program
calling for the improvement of
l0470 miles of Lincoln Way. The
greatest part of this work consists
of standard grading an drainage
with actual hard surface construction
under way in three counties.
The picture of permanently hard
surfaced Lincoln Highway extending
from the Mississippi to the Missouri
is no longer only vision but will be
an actual reality of the no great dis
tant future.

THE CLINIC

The Clinic held in this city August
End, proved to be success beyond
the expectations of those interested
in the movement. Doctors from over
the county were in attendance to lend
their free services in those respects,
where their usefulness was needed.
These clinics are nationwide
movements held in every county of
the United States and under the aus
pices of the American Red Cross and
the County Medical Societies. In this
manner the public will derive another
advantage of the help from unseen
hands,.
The dream of conscientious physi-
clans and social workers has been one
of overcoming pestilence in disease
and unsanitary conditions, and the
present movement is intended to bring
these attributes of better society,
better life and better place to live, in
to fixed reality.
Something over forty patients
We're examined by the doctors, who
gave their time and services free of
cost, and their discoveries of tuber-
culosis patients, who did not consider
themselves diseased as we'll as num-
erous heart disease cases that can be
cured, is but an example of what fu-
ture clinics will mean to Amerisan
society. In the recent war medical
examiners were compelled to turn
down hundreds of thousands of young
men because they were afflicted with
heart and other disorders that should
never have developed. This in an
economic sense is detrimental waste
to humanity. The old efforts of the
medical profession seemed to have
been unable to cope with the situa-
tion and hence the present organiza-
tion under the auspices of the Amer
lean Red Cross and the physicians of
the country.
The activities of the Red Cross dur
ing the war days were created for a
purpose incidental to those times, and
the good they have done has created
them in our social life as one of the
attributes that humanity cannot well
surrender. With the work ahead oi
eliminating those diseases that can
be eliminated, their past activities are
recommendation for their useful
ness in that direction. Humanity's
sake, is the ideal of sociological efforts
and under the stamping out disease
problem, who could be better fitted to
care for the work than the combined
powers now working hand in hand
The future holds it's invitation of a
hIsocial worthiness wherein lies the Sc
cret OF happier life and better liv-
ing.
The untiring efforts of Miss Morris
county public health nurse, is mainly
responsible for the success of the
meeting, and the assistance of the
doctors in attendance is but anothe,
attribute of social worthiness to the
community in which they reside.
The following doctors attended the
mesting: Drs. Kennedy and Dunlavy
OF Logan; Drs. Wiltsie and Cooper OF
Modale; Drs. Anderson, Flothow and
Walsh OF Woodbine; DR.. Cook of Pts.
gah; DR.. Hansen of Magnolia;
Drs. Tamisiea, Hoefer, De Wore and
Lusk of Missouri Valley.
At meeting of the doctors in at.
tendance it was decided to create q
permanent organization and hold sim.
liar clinics in various localities of the
county, several times each wear. A,
the movement grows so will the use.
!uiness OF honorable medicine display
itself.
