PHILLIPS

The remains of Pvt. Clyde l..
Phillips arrived. home Tuesday
morning over the Missouri Paci-
fic railway from Camp Pike.
~sHe was the son of the late DIR.
~. T. and Mrs. Ada Phillips and
Mas born February the 9th, 1896
and was mortally wounded in the
Argonne drive November the 5,
1918 and died on the 18th OF the
same month. His spirit went
West when the world was jubi-
lant over the cessation of the war
He was given a military burial
by the Bert Calhoon Post, Am
erican Legion, of Lecompt, which
was impressive to all of US. Revs
w. r. Haynie and W. w. Perry
assisted in the funeral services.
Clyde was reared here and was
a fine young man that enjoyed
the esteem of all who knew him.
He was a member of the local
Baptist Church and left testlmo-
nv that he died in the faith. His
last message home was to that
effect.
He made the supreme sacrifice
for our christian democracy and
we shall gladly perpetuaie his
memory as a hero for trne liber-
ty. His mother, sister and bro
theirs have our tenderest tsympa-
thy in their sorrow and we
trust that each may have the
consolation of the gospel in
these hours of their need.

STOCK MARKET

NEW YORK. April 13.-The stock market was subjected to broader seli- ing pressure today, Iehecting increas- ing pessimism in financial and spec'i- lative circles, due to more adverse developments at home and ab4 oad.
 New low records for the year were registered by a number of indusrrlat favorites, especially steels and equip ments, and minimum quotations for a longer period marked the dOwn- ward trend of various investment rails.
 Leaders of the reaction included Northern Pacific, Canadian Pacific, Great Northern and Unon Pacific q, well as other rails with extreme de ciines of l to-4A points. Among ,n- dustrials Republic, Bethlehem anu Crucible accentuated recent backward tendencies with oils, motors and to- baccos at gross recessions of l to < points.
 Except Northern Pacific. which De- came increasingly weak. snort cover ing effected partial recoveries in the sluggish final hour, but losses far ex- ceeded gains, the latter being limited to nnimportant specialties. Sales 4S5,000 shares.

~ of the word
has been interpreted in several
ways. Some say it means beau
tiful land" but the more likely
derivation is the Algonquin word
"ajawa" which means across"
or beyond" This was probably
applied to this tribe of Indians
by the Illinois tribes who were
hostile to them, and resided On
tie eastern side of the Missis-
sippi river. The early white Wis
itors to this region included Mar
quette and Joliet, who landed
here on their explorations of the
Mississippi in 1913.
The first settlement was made
by a French Canadian named
Julian Dubuque. He obtained
in 1873 large grant of land
from the Indians, where the
city which was named after him
now stands. Here he fiourished,
mining lead and trading with the
Indians, until his death in 1910,
when this settlement was given
up.
With the acquisition of the
Louisiana Purchase in 1893.
Iowa, which was a part of this
huge territory, came into the
hands Of the United States from
France. At first Iowa was a
part of the Louisiana territory,
then Of Missouri territory. Later
it formed a portion of Michigan
territory and then of Wisconsin
territory. In 1898, however, IT
attained a distinct Individuality
when it was formed into the
Iowa territory.
Pioneers soon came in large
numbers and about 1892 a sub
stantial settlement was made
near Burlington. and Dubuque
was founded in 1893. The popu-
lation grew so rapidly that in
1916 Iowa was admitted as the
twenty ninth state of the Union.
Its area Is 56,147 square miles
and 1t has thirteen presidential
electoral votes.
Iowa is familarly called the
Hawkeye State.
