V'. HI'S SOLDIERS-: HAVE GOOD EATS *E»5 Officer* Reporting to Adjutant Gen eral Logan, Emphasize Fact That Menu* Are Worth While. AVIATION STATION Any Town That Can GTVe 300 Acres s-'Of Level Land Will Get This Branch of tjhe Service. •II '.4 ^§JI a. & k* y, a Iowa regiments now In service on the Mexican border not only are well fed, but they are having difficulty in (finding ways to spend all of the money the federal government sup plies for food, according to reports received. by Adj. Gen. Guy E. Logan. The report from the Third Iowa in fantry states that during August each company in addition to having good food, saared from $150 to $250 a com pany in the mess fund. The total surplus of cash, for the regiment for the month was. $2,700. The officers of the regiment are now thinking or ways to spend this cash balance on the meals, ltor it can be used for no other purpoue, the report says. A Dinner Menu. In report!niT on the character of the food furnished to the companies, a Third regiment officer said in his statement to Logan: "I took dinner with Company of Villisca toefcry. They had chicken pie, mashed potatoes, tomatoes, cel ery, bread, chocolate pie, ice cream. Ice tea. I couSd not think of another thing that the boys would want. Yet the companies are not spending all of the money they* have available." Other reports received by the adjn tant general are along the same line. These statements effectively answer charges that the men do not get good food, Logan says- Other officers in reporting, state that the Iowa troops have made won derful progress, especially In the last ten days. They declare that at the present rate of improvement, the Iowa brigade will soon outclass the regulars. Officers at Brownsville deny statements that any of the troops will seek to get out of the guard after being returned to home stations. They declare this will not be. true of the Iowa mien. Want Aviation Field? Any town in Iowa which can do nate 300 acres of level land for an ariation -field, can land the aviation company of the Iowa National guard which may be organized. Adjutant General Logan yesterday received notice from the war depart ment that the federal, governmnt will require each state having aviation companies to supply a field of 300 acres, an aeroplane aostlng $7,500 and appropriate buildings on the aviation field. All the government will fur nish will be gasoline and oil. accord ing to the statement The adjutant general thought at first of rejecting the proposition of organizing an aviation company in Iowa. He has decided, however, that If any city can furnish the field re quired, the other details may be ar ranged. AMUSEMENTS. Mary Plckford at the Grand.

JXM V(vV",. PROCLAMATION IN IOWA •i ^, Gov. George W. Clarke Ha» Decreed That State Shall Look to Its Building* on That Day, •ft ftf On October 9, 1871, according to the story which we are told and which we beiieve or not as we see fit, one Mrs. O'Leary went out Into the barn to milk the cow on her little farm just on the outskirts of the city of Chicago. It was far from light and she carried a lantern, which she placed on the stable floor and then sat down to do her milking. Now what particular devil possess ed that cow does not appear. At any rate the cow's hoof struck the* lan tfrn. The lantern fell over. The oil spilled on the floor, and the city of Chicago was all but wiped off the map. That is the story we are told of the way the great Chicago fire start ed. Whether it is true or not is be Bide the mark. It is typical. Many fires starte'd in just such a way. But nowevor it started, the city of Chicago has reason to remember that day In October, and so it is that Chi cago has taken a mighty interest in the establishment of a national fire prevention day on the anniversary of its misfortune, that other municipali ties may learn a lesson from its ex perience. The movement for Fire Prevention day was started by the Safety First Federation of America. Last year, the governors of twenty-nine states gave forth proclamations calling upon their people to observe the day by cleaning up their home by removing rubbish from dark corners by seeing that they were prepared to meet lire if it came. This year, it is believed that practically every state will take part in this great movement, and there is reason to hope that Presi dent Wilson may issue a proclama tion that will go far toward awaken- 82 SS S?2& SSTSS TSL St tlon. "That there will be a republican congress, republican senate and re publican president, there is not the slightest doubt," asserted the veteran statesman. "Everything points to ward a sweeping victory at the polls for protection and other principles for which the republican party stands. I hope to be a member of congress for some time longer, but I shall not aspire to jno speakership. I am not a candidate. However, I Bhall lend such humble assistance as is within my power to give that position to a representative of Illinois. I shall use every effort to secure the position for tional foundation. Program'is Urged. fj In his letters to the governors urg ing them to impress upon the people the need of preventing the loss of life and property by fire. Frederick H. Elliott, executive secretary of the Safety First federation, laid down the following program: That on October 9, all public build ings, factories and homes be thoroughly cleaned of rubbish accu mulation. That all heating, lighting and fire extinguishing apparatus be examined that able statesman, James R. Mann and, if found defective, promptly re- °f"UnclelBjoe" forecasts the reuniting That fire drills be held in all of the warring factions of the repub-1 schools, factories and other places lican party with, a victory from coast to coast, the re-establishment of re publican principles and the return of peace, prosperity and plenty." where fire drills are necessary. That lectures be given in public schools and that sermons be preached in the churches on the subject of fire prevention, and that meetings be held to arouse public interest in the move ment. The latest estimate of the loss by fire in the United States and Canada in 1914 was $250,000,000. Add to this the cost of maintaining fire depart ments and the total is $500,000,000. This amount in BO stupendous that the mind cannot conceive it. $500, 000,00 would build a Panama canal. There Is a tax of $5 a head on every man woman and child In the United dent S. B. retary W. W.
