the loss of the cvrn crop in the Sun

dispose of their young crop of pigs
as there will not be corn' sufficient
to nyiture them. It asks that the
farmers of Nebraska and the feeders

joining states come to the rescue by
buying the surplus feeding stock of
that state before it becomes deteri
ated for want of feed.
Any individual desiring to help out
the Kansans can write to the secre
tary of the state board of agriculture

Others Hurt.
(From a Staff Correspondent.)
Des Moines, Aug. 11. (Special Tel
egram.) Harry Robbins, engineer,
was probably fatally injured when a
gravel train crashed into a string of
cars standing on the interurban track
at Highland late last night. His back

ly injured, none seriously. The acci
dent occurred on a curve. Robbins
did not see the string of freight cars

The federal exemption board for
the southern district today began its
task of passing on the claims for ex
emption appealed from local boards
and those asking exemption because
of their employment. No decisions,
however, were available for publica
tion up to a late hour.
Regardless of the rule that no per
sonal hearings' will be held by the
toard, so many people tried to see
the board members today that Chair
man N. D. Ely called on General Lo
gan to place a guard at the door to
inform all such persons that personal
hearings would not be given.
Dr. Clarence Van Epps, secretary
of the board, his received a commis
sion in the medical officers' reserve
corps and has had to give up his posi
tion with the exemption board. Up
to noon today his successor had not
been announced.
Women to Sign Food Pledge,
More than a million food pledge
cards to go into 500,000 homes of the
state are now being printed under
the direction of the women's commit
tee of the Council of Defense. The
women county chairmen will receive
the cards and will be responsible for
getting them into the homes of the

pledge is directed to the food adminis
trator at Washington, D...C. The
pledge follows:
"I am glad to join you in the se'
ice of food conservation for our na
tion and I hereby accept membership
in the United States food "administra
tion, pledging myself to carry out the
directions and advice of the food ad
ministrator in my home insofar as my
circumstances' permit."
Mobilize Women Knitters.
All of the women in Iowa who
know how to knit are to be mobilized
at their home stations by the Red
Cross. This op!t is being sent out
today by A. E. Kepford, director of
the Iowa Red Cioss. Supplies of
yarn will be forthcoming and will be
sent out to local organizations froii
the Red Cross hndquarters. The Red
Cross must have as soon as possible
1,500,000 sweaters, an equal number of
mufflers, wristlets and pairs of sox.
Iowa will have its share of this big
supply to make. A knitting manual
telling how the work should be done
is also to be furnished the local chap
ters and will be sent out in a short
time.
Suspects Taken in St Joseph.
Chief of Polio- Jackson and Chief
of Detectives McDonald todav re
turned from St. Joseph with Lloyd
Southelrind, 24 years old, and Harry
Sorenson,27 yeaVs old, who arc be
ing herd for investigation in connec
tion with the shooting of George Mat
tern, a police officer, Sunday night.
The two young men were arrested as
they alighted from a Great AVestern
train at St. Joseph.
Ship In Feeding Stock.
Many hogs are being shipped in
from parts of Kansas and Nebraska
which are short on feed, according to
reports received at the office of the
state veterinarian. Feeding cattle are
also being brought into the state from
tfie St. Paul, Omaha and Kansas City
yards. The records of shipments, as
reported to the state veterinarian, in-'
dicate that there will be considerable
feeding in Iowa this fall and winter
in spite of the high price of feed.
There will be an abundance of forage
and if there should be soft corn the
farmers with live stock will be in a
position to use it to the best advan
tage. No Labor Trouble Mere.
No labor trouble of any serious na
ture has appeared as yet at Cainp
Dodge, although dispatches from New
York state threats have been made
that every union man engaged on
government work would strike within
a few days unless demands of the car
penters' union for a closed shop were
met. The contractors at Camp Dodge
have employed both union and non
union men. About ou per cental the
men are union members. Several la
bor agitators have been at work at
the camp, but their efforts at sedition
so far have beer, unsuccessful.
Young farm workers whose services
are necessary to gather crops will be
given more time ty the government
before being required to enter the
national army under the first draft,
according to a ruling soon to be sent
out by General Crowder. This ruling
will permit local boards to exercise
their discretion in calling out farmers
for the first contingent and will au
thorize the exemption boards to use
their own judgment in this respect.
It will not permit men to stay on the
farms, however, until after the corn is
husked.
