Mr. Jacob 61ms, secretary of tbe Asso
ciated Charities, announces that the hou
committee ku named Tuesdsy and Friday
afternoons In each week as visitors days,
when those Interested In the work of the
association desiring to visit th Creche on
Glen avenue will be heartily welcomed.
The association is sorely in need of funds
to carry on Its work, which is increasing
as the winter approaches. It is also in need
of donations of food and clothing. Any
person desiring to donate anything to the
institution can notify the matron, Mrs.
Johnson, by telephone and she will be only
too willing to eend for the (location.
At the Creche on Glen avenue nine in
fants we being cared for, as well as ten
children between the apes of 2 and 12 years.
As a rorsDS -of raising funds to csrry on
the winter's work cf the association it has
been decided to ask the members of the
several women's clubs in the city to con
tribute ( or 10 cents monthly. While this
would bf but a small sum to the individ
ual It would in the aggregate materially
assist the association.
In speaking of the work of the Associ
ated Charities, Mrs. films said yesterday:
"People coming 'to Council Bluffs some
times ask sbout the work of oar Associ
ated Char'tlea and sometimes our own poo,
pie are not familiar with its work and need
some enlightenment. In oar Creche we are
doing what only a few "homes' for children
do, that is, we try to keep families united;
to keep mother and children bound to
gether rather than to seek separate homes
for them., Many children are cared for in
the Creche for parents who are unable to
provide homes and yet who gladly pay part
of what is necessary to support and care
for the little ones nntll the time comes
when they can a rain be together. There
is also the providing for calls from the
poor and the alck, and these call become,'
more urgent as winter approaches." I

trial juries for the superior court must be
drawn on the third Monday la February
for ths Apr!! term. ? April for the June
term. In June for the August term. In
August for the October term, and in Oc
tober for the December term. Tha failure
to draw the October term jury in, August
was due to an oversight. A jury had been
drawn la June for the August term, but
we -never called," .and, ..It waa presumed
that the aam panel would serve for ths
October term. In some manner the venire
became mislaid and it was found necessary
to draw another Jury, which waa done last
Thursday, nearly two' month behind ths
date set by law. Whether this Irregularity
will affect pending litigation in the su

notices have been Sled for this term and it
I possible that none will be.

from original research and outdoor field
work and hot from compilation and so
called "hot house" work. Hi publications

material for hundreds of article for the

turned away empty handed no matter what

The thirty-sixth annual encampment of
the Grand Army of the Republic haa passed
into history. The "boys" who paraded up
Pennsylvania avenue .In tbe grand review
In 18(5 have seen Washington for the
econd time since that day and they have
gone back to their homes lto every state
of tb union proud of th capital which
they helped materially to aave. Today tbe
streets are . comparatively deserted and
only scattering squads of veteran are left.
Bui tto Tieitort, especially ihnaa from
Kansas aad Nebraska, have left marks
which will not ftron be obliterated. Every
where these boy In blue carried tha prop
aganda of the great west. Ton of corn
and wheat, vegetable and fruit were
brought here and map and diagrams were
scattered. .
Tho encampment ssust rm a wonderful
advertisement for the western states. No
world's fair or International exposition
cculd possibly hav accomplished half as
muth tn twice the time in the way of call
ing attention' to th great empire which
has grown west of th Mississippi la tha
last thirty years. . .
Th encampment has proved to b an
other atep toward cementing tha tlea be
tween th states. Thousands of ex-confederate
were In th throngs which stood on
th curb for six hour while the vast army
passed by, and the men who wore th gray
were as cordial in their greeting of the
boy who wore th blu aa wer their
comrade.

Ona of th most notable feature of the
many parades during the week was the
showing made by the marine corps. Twenty
year ago the marine were a despised set
of "sea soldiers." Ther was a very strong
sentiment In favor of th abolition of th
entire corps. But afterward they made a
name for themselves on th Isthmus of
Panama. Then la 1898 It was a squsd of
marines who first set up the American
flag on Cuban soil at Guantanamo Bay. It
was the marine corps which preceded th
army in landing at Cavite, and it waa th
marine who first advanced on Pekln dur
ing the Boxer troubles two years ago.
In 1890 th marina corps consisted of
about 1,800 officer and men, and they were
not th beat men in th American service
by any means. Today the roster shows
about t.EOO of them, and those who marched
down Pennsylvania avenue on Tuesdsy
would compare favorably in th matter
of physique and soldierly qualities with
any body of troops or sailor in any mili
tary establishment on earth. General
Charles Heywood, the commandant of the
corps, has built up th organisation and
he 1 proud of it. But no mor so than
every American ahould be, for the record
of tb corps is a glorious one, and ther Is
no mor chanc of Its abolition today
than ther ta that the American navy will
be broken up for old metal aad th Amer
ican army sent back to th plow.
Speaking of tb marine corps, there wer
In tbe parade two young American marine
officer. Messrs. Wynne and Doddridge,
They were schoolboys in 18UB. They have
seen active service on both Bide of th
world since then and have visited many
countries "In our Journey from China to
the United States through ths isthmus,'
aid Captain Wynne today, "we were roy
ally treated everywhere, but In no country
were we moie cordially welcomed than In
Oreece, where the United States minister,
Mr. Charles S. Francis, proved himself 1
prlnc among men. - And speaking of
prince. King Georg of Greece ought t
be aa American. He I mor than a king
and ha knows how to be a mad. Amer
icans are always well treated in the Hel
lenlc kingdom and tbe officers of the Amer
ican navy have every reason to set up
cheer for King George of Greece and th
American representative near his court,
Hon. Charles S. Francis of Troy, N. T.
