Sioux City Journal, 11: O.io of tho
five stars in the service flag of A. B.
Cownie, of South Sioux City, was
turned into cold last n'ght by tho
war department's announcement that
his third son; rrivato urouie j. cow
nie, had died July 27 from wounds
received in action while fighting
with the Rainbow division in tho
Aisne-Marne battle. Tho telegram
follows: "A. B. Cownie, South Sioux
City: Deeply regret to inform you
that it is officially reported that
Private Brodie G. Cownie, infantry,
died July 27, from wounds received
in action." Private Cownie, who en
listed in Company L, of tho old Sec
ond Iowa national guard, April 6,
1917, the day war was declared, was
one of five brothers in the service.
A brother, Frank Cownie, is a mem
ber of the same company. A letter
received by Mr. Cownie a few days
ago stated that Private Brodie Cow
nie had been discharged from the
hospital July 9, after recovering from
a slight shrapnel wound received in
action. Tho letter stated that he
was returning to the trenches. Cow
nie apparently took part in tho
American victory on the Marne with
the One Hundred and Sixty-eighth
infantry, which distinguished itself
in that drive. He was 22 years old
and was born in Sioux City. Four
brothers in tho service, Frank Cow
nie, Rainbow division; James Cownie,
navy, Seattle, Wash.; Albert Cownie,
Second infantry, Camp Travis, San
Antqnio, Tex., and Harry Cownie, in
fantry, Camp Devine, Mass., and two
sisters, Elsie Cownie and Charlotte
Cownie, survive him. '

Three persons having walnut trees
on their premises have said that
Uncle Sam can have them, but that
they cannot do tho cutting and haul

be located to make a car load so mo
one will bo secured to make them
ready for shipment. If you have
trees let us know, tho government is
willing to pay a good prico for them.
Tho saving of grain through the uso
of tight racks in threshing and stack
ing is proving very profitable, as
explained by numerous farmers, so
much so that they could bo economi
cally used every year.
Last week a call came to look after
a bunch of hogs in which some sick
ness appeared to bo breaking out.
We found the affected hogs, three in
number, weighing MO lbs. each, with
high fevers, and having great diffi
culty in using thoir hind quarters.
Being unablo to detect tho cause of
the trouble, one of theso animals was
opened. Tho stomach was full of
nothing but mud and tho largo intes
tines was full of large, hard balls of
pure earth. It at onco became very
evident that thcro was something
lacking in tho ration received by
theso hogs. Very likely a mineral
mixture will correct tho difficulty.
Tho feeding of somo slop or the soak
ing of all or a part of the grain fed
to these hogs will likely provo a
very great help. Even hogs, like
people, relifch a change of diot nnd do

Answer to "I Did Not Raise My Hoy
to He n Soldier."
Tho reply made by Dr. James L.
Hughes of Toronto to Edwin Mark
ham's rhymed opposition to tho rais
ing of an American army.to meet and
combat tho rush of Kaiser Wilhcim's
Pruslan hordes, will find nn echo in
tho heart of every mother and will
appeal to every loyal American.
Markham called his poem "I Did
Not Raiso My Boy to Bo a SoWier,"
and roads as follows:
"0 Mothers will you longer givo
your sons
To feed tho awful hunger of tho
guns?
What is the worth of all these bat
tle drums
If from Che" Hold tho loved one nov
cr comes?
What all theso loud hosannns to
the brave,
If all you share is somo forgotten
grave?"
Dr. Hughes' reply breathes of faith
divine, and courago to make tho su
premo sacrifice, to drain tho cup to
its bitter dregs and say, "Thy will,
oh God, not mine, bo done." His
reply roads as follows:
God r . -i my son in trust to mo;
Chi .si rued for him, and ho should be
A mti. id Christ. Ho is his own,
And God's and man's; not mino alone,
He was not mino to "givo." Ho gavo
Himself that ho might help to savo
All that n Christian might rovcrc,
All that enlightened men hold dear.
"To feed tho gUhs!" Oh, torpid soull
Awake and seo life as a whole,
When freedom, honor, justice, right,
With heart afiamo and soul alight,
Ho bravely went for God to fight
Against base savages whoso pride
Tho laws of God and man defied,
Who slow tho mother and her child,
Who maidens puro and sweet defiled.
Ho did not go to "feed tho guns,"
Ho went to save froni ruthless Huns

A guardian of democracy
"What if ho does not come?"you say;
Ah, well! My sky would bo more
gray,
But through tho clouds the sun
would shine,
And vital memories bo mine.
God's test of manhood is, I know,
Not "will he como?" but ",dld ho go?"
My son well know that ho might die,
And yet ho went, with purpose high,
To fight for poaco and overthrow
Tho plans of Christ's relentless foe.
He dreaded Qot tho battlefield;,.
Hoiwohtto rnnko-flerco'vandnl8''yreld;
If ho como not' itgain to' mo"
I shall bo sad; but not that ho
Went liko a man a hero true
His, part unselfishly to do.
My heart will feel exultant pride
That for humanity ho died.
"Forgotten gravel" This solfish plea
Awakes no deep responso in me,
For, though his grave I may not see,
My boy will no'er forgotten be.
My real son can nover die;
'Tis but his body that may Ho
In forejgn land, and I shall keep
Romembranco fond forever, deep
Within my heart for my true son,
Because of triumphs that ho won.
It mnttnrH not: tulinrn nnv nnn
May Ho and sleep when work is doncM
It matters not whoro mon may live;
If my dear son his life must give,
Hosannas I will sing for him,
E'en thougli my eyes with tears bo
dim.
And when tho war is over, when
His gallant comrades como again,
I'll cheer them as they're marching
Rejoicing that they did not die.
And when his vacant placo I seo,
My heart will bound with joy that ho
Was mino so long my fair young
son
And cheer for him whoso work Is
