Military Camp at Dea Moines Is Now
Ready and Receiving the Conscript
Soldiers, Who Will Train
ORGANIZING OF 2500 OFFICERS
Iowa, Minnesota, Illinois and North
Dakota Now Sending New Men
to Iowa's Great Camp.
Division Headquarters, Thirteenth
Divisional Cantonment, Camp Dodge,
Sept. 3—(Special to the Review)—
Camp Dqflge and Des Moines are
i4ady and waiting for the 45,712 con
script soldiers who will be trained
here for the first national overseas
army. United States expeditionary
forces.
For ten days Maj. Gen. Edward H.
Plummer, commandante of the can
tonment, and his aides have been on
the ground, organizing the 2,500 offi
cers who recently won their shoulder
straps at Ft. Snelling and other train
ing camps, to take charge of the ci
vilian "mob" and whip it into a mili
tary organization "over night."
Barracks are ready for the com
plete housing of the first increment
of 2 500, the vanguard of the main
force. These first 2,500 will form the
skeleton of the division to the train
ed here. They will be in camp and
"at it' by September 10th. The sec
ond increment of forty per cent will
follow on September 19th. Another
forty per cent will follow soon after
the first of October and the remainder
as soon thereafter as possible.
Iowa, Minnesota, Illinois and North
Dakota are not sending their con
script soldiers to forced communion
with the cows and chickens in Iowa's
pastoral fields, to be isolated from
the warmth of the city. Neither will
they be set down in the middle of
temptations that usually beckon in
the city.
Camp Dodge, their home for the
winter, is just ten miles from the city
of Des Moines with Its population of
106,000. It is thirty minutes ride on
the interurban and the soldiers will
he given fifteen minute service if they
require it.
Dea Moipes is exceedingly "dry."
"dry" three years ago by the
Hte of tbe .city council.
tor tbe -first time in a
city of any size in the country, came
to the conclusion that tbe people did
not want saloons any more. So they
closed them all—and only the saloon
men complained.
It went
^ixi
I*
Bootlegging is at a minimum.
"Booze" will be at a geater premium
when the two companies of 300 con
script soldiers go on duty patrolling
not only the city, but the roads and
avenues leading to the cantonment.
Des Moines abolished her redlight
district six years ago. She wiped it
out clean. She also bars cabarets,
hut she has no objection to Sunday
theaters and amusements. And to see
that viee conditions do not deteriorate
with the arrival of the soldiers. May
or John MacVicar has created a
special "vice squad" whose single
duty is to keep on the lid.
Des Moines has made great prepa
rations to treat her soldier boys
right. There are seventeen commit
tees at work all the time, each as
signed to a special task directed to
ward the care and comfort of the con
scripts.
One of the committees was as
signed to transportation. Its first
accomplishment was to secure a re
duction In itnerurban fare from twen
ty to ten cents for soldiers. Civilians
will continue to pay twenty cents.
Another committee has opened two
large soldiers clubs in the down town
district where thousands of books
will be available for the enlisted men.
Another committee, composed of the
leading business 'men of the town,
stands ready to see that prices re
main the same, both to the soldier and
the civltan. Another, committee is
listing every available hotel room and
apartment house and will maintain a
public bureau to find quarters for the
relatives and friends who come to
visit the soldiers.
The cantonment is situated in the
valley of the Des Moines river, stretch
ing over 4,000 acres of Iowa's prize
farm land. One thousand acres of
growing corn was destroyed In the
building. Starting at the fashionable
Hyperion golf club, the cantonment
extends three miles up the valley,
which Major Abadie, chief supervis
ing quartermaster of the war depart
ment, said furnished the best canton
ment site in the United States. The
great wooden barracks for the sol
diers, two stories high and built to
house 250 men each, stretch in rows
of four for two miles.
There are 194 of the soldier bar
racks and when the entire camp is
completed, more than 2,000 wooden
buildings, stretching out farther than
the eye can see, will stand in the val
ley.
Camp Dodge has been awarded a
remount station where 5,000 horses
and mules will be cared for.
The physical welfare of the soldiers
will be more carefully safeguarded
than at any other cantonment. The
government is constructing a huge
base hospital at the cantonment to
care for 1,500 patients. In addition,
it has turned Ft. Des Moines, the reg
imental army post near Des Moines,
into a general hospital where some of
flTe leading surgeons and physicians
of ttoIJfiUed States will serve their

side, then unfastened thq window and
thus made entrance and exit. The
clothing was found under the platform
of the Northwestern s'tation by Sheriff
John McLeod, and for two nights the
sheriff watched the place where the
gobds were hidden, expecting that the
thief would return for the loot. How
ever, he failed to appear and the
goods were removed and again placed
in the store.

to much praise and the Apollo club
should be compensated to an amount
at least equal to the deficiency.
The canning factories in this sec
tion of the state are experiencing quite
a delay in getting started with this
year's pack of sweet corn. The corn
is irregular and streaky, much like
the field corn. In some fields, por

for canning and other rows are late
in maturing.

"DENISON REVIEW
THE PAPER YOU TAKE HOME
DENISON, IOWA, WEDNESDAY, SEPT. 5, 1917.
Another Feature for Review Readers
UN IIIIIMBiilil
By a special arrangement with an experienced newspaper writer at Des Moines the Review will
print each week an interesting article on the army cantonment at Camp Dodge, which is located near
Des Moines. This is an exclusive feature and will not be found in any other paper published i«i Craw
ford county
..
Crawford county will soon have 123 men in training at Camp Dodge and every man, woman and
child of this county will be interested in knowing just what they are doing at the big army camp. In
order to furnish this news to the people of Crawford county ths Review has contracted at considerable
expense for an exclusive feature story which will appear each week in this paper.
The first article appears in this issue. A comprehensive description of the camp and the manner
in which it will be conducted is given. Future articles will go more into detail. Necessarily there will
be little personal news until the men are all in camp and get into training. The first article will give
Review readers a view of the place where the men from Crawford county will be trained for war and
an insight into social and moral surroundings so all important to the mothers, relatives and friends of
the conscript soldiers.
1
Next week's article will disclose how General Plummer expects to make fighting men, in three
months' time, how the men will be quartered, what their early training will be, their opportunities for
recreation and advancement, when they will learn to use gas masks and throw hand grenades and
trench bombs, etc.
This is a feature that not a single reader should overlook. It is costing the Review considerable
money and we want our readers to enjoy it. If your neighbor is not taking the Review tell him
about it.

Below we publish a letter from him
which was received by his parents
this week:
Dear Folks: Well I am located
again. We had quite a trip and sure
enjoyed it as we had a special train,
all Pullman cars. I am in Ohio, close
to Dayton, which is a dandy town and
the people treat us just great. '«Ve
have large towns close to us and *Im*
service is good so we will sure hava
a few good times while here. This
camp can't be beat. It is just grea*
from what we have had. We haf*
beds, steam heat, electric lights, warn
rooms and everything is painted so.At
sure is fine. I can't start to tell jr^a
ot all things we get here that wa
haven't before.
This is considered the best branch
of service and it certainly shows It
here. The people of Dayton come out
and invite us out. Next Friday they
are giving a free dance justyfor' np
aviators and I will surely'M thepa.
They do our sewing and are will
log -.t!
to do anything for us. I passed
through five states gotting here alto
we were on the road three days and
two nights. It is some relief gettinf
out of Texas where it is so hot. This
climate is just like at home and lt
reels better to me. '0|

ADVERTISING AND C08TS.
Some men can think up queer argu*
ments when trying to sell goods. Tor
instance a dealer the other day aald,
"I don't advertise, so I can give yoiu
what I save in that way in t)ie cost of
the goods."
It was noticed that the man kept
no clerks. He could do all the busi
ness there was for him on that basin
without assistance. It would have
been just as logical for him to say
"I keep no clerks, so I save that ex
pense, and I give you the difference"

Anything that increases business
should reduce expenses. When a man
increases sales Uy advertising or hjr
keeping more help, the cost of selling
any article, if the business Is wall
managed, should be less than befowi.
The small and non-advertised business
has too much overhead expense for
its volume of sales. As a matter of
common experience it is not able to
give low prices. ,5
