Mr. Cannon entered the War Camp Community Service as representative for the Clatsop district in Oregon, with headquarters at Astoria and in charge of spruce production centers of Astoria, Seaside and Tillamook, Ore., and near the coast defense forts, Stevens, Columbia and Canby. When the camps broke up, subsequent to the signing of the armistice, he was transferred to Seattle, and on April 1, 1919, was placed in charge of the outside work, including clubs at a number of points near Port Townsend. The work is now being transferred from W. C. C. S. through a transition period from Nov. 1 to Feb. 1, to Community Service, Inc., and efforts are being made to form local Community Service committees to con- tinue the work indefinitely.
Mr. Cannon is married and has six children, name- ly: Robert S., Mabel A., Arthur M., Jr., Stewart C., Julia E. and Kesler R. Cannon.
MRS. CARL OLMSTEAD
Mrs. Carl Olmstead, though little known in Shel- by County, belongs by reason of her marriage to a Shelby County soldier, to the great army of service people of this county. Mrs. Olmstead's service was with the Y. M. C. A., and consisted largely of minis- tering to the soldiers of the Texas army camps in beautiful song, while she utilized her spare time in knitting sweaters and doing other work under the direction of the Red Cross. She was a daughter of Mrs. A. Steinert, 1238 Wabash Ave., Kansas City, Mo., and was married to Carl Olmstead of Shelby County on March 23, 1918, while the latter was sta- tioned at Camp Logan. The next day her husband left that camp, and while he was absent in Europe, his bride passed away, her death occurring March 22, 1919, at her home in San Antonio. Her body was taken to Kansas City for burial.
W. H. STORM
Rev. W. H. Storm of Findlay served the better part of a year in Y. M. C. A. service, most of the time overseas. He offered himself for that work early in 1918, and during the summer was accepted and ordered on duty, and soon was in France, where he served capably and devotedly. He returned home in the early part of 1919, and resumed his pastorate of the Christian Church at Findlay, from which he later resigned. Before taking up the Y. M. C. A. duties, he was actively interested in the boys of his home town, and was Scoutmaster there. A com- plete record of Rev. Mr. Storm's "Y" service was not obtainable.
W. F. AICHELE
Leaving his position as assistant cashier of the Shelby County State Bank to enter the Y. M. C. A. service, Wm. F. Aichele had expected to go to Chi- cago for a brief training period, but instead was or- dered at once to San Antonio, Tex., where he entered the Y. M. C. A. Training School April 8, 1918. He was "Y" secretary at Camp Logan, Houston, Tex., from May 1, 1918, to the 11th of June following, and at Fort Crockett, Galveston, Tex., from June 11 to Oct. 23, 1918, when he resigned for the purpose of getting into the active military service. This course he pursued, enlisting at Shelbyville Nov. 7, 1918.

CHARLES R. SHEPHERD
Resigning the pastorate of the First Baptist church of Shelbyville and closing his work there on Sunday, Sept. 22, 1918, Rev. Chas. R. Shepherd, Ph. D., entered the Y. M. C. A. service and was ordered to Galesburg, Illinois, where he was in charge of 500 boys. This service was the alternative for regular military service, which was denied him by reason of the fact that he had taken out his first naturalization papers only, and therefore could get into the service neither of the United States nor his native country, England. Efforts to do so failed, and he took up the "Y" work, in which he did splendid service for many months.
ORVILLE S. STORM
After repeated attempts to get into military serv- ice, but meeting only rejection on physical grounds, O. S. Storm of Shelbyville made application for Y. M. C. A. duty and in July, 1918, received notice of his appointment by the War Personnel Board of the Central Department of the National War Work Council. On Aug. 1 he was ordered to the "Y" War College at Chicago, where after a period of training he was assigned, Sept. 9, 1918, to Camp Sherman, Chillicothe, Ohio, as athletic director for the Quar- termaster's section. In the following December he was appointed managing editor of the Camp Sher- man News, under military supervision, and retained that post until his discharge, Aug. 14, 1919. During the influenza epidemic at Camp Sherman Mr. Storm volunteered for hospital duty, and for some weeks ministered almost without intermission to the sick and dying. His work in that particular line, as well as the manner in which he discharged his athletic and editorial duties, elicited warm commendation from military and "Y" officers.
Mr. Storm is a son of Mr. and Mrs. I. S. Storm of Shelbyville, and is a newspaper man of many years' experience.
LYMAN RAY HIATT
Lyman Ray Hiatt, a son of W. P. Hiatt of Stras- burg, Ill., is another man who served both in the military and Y. M. C. A. At the outbreak of the
war he was finishing student work in the Kansas State Agricultural College. Acting on the advice of the dean of the college, he continued agricultural work, spending the summer of 1917 on Oakhurst farm, belonging to one of the editors of the Breed- ers' Gazette. Then he joined the staff of the Country Work Department of the International Committee of the Y. M. C. A. and went to New York City, where he spent four months in helping to raise funds for the war work activities of the "Y." Then he en- listed, and served in the army until Nov. 30, 1918. Following his discharge he took charge of the agri- cultural instruction work of about 350 school stu- dents in Thief River Falls, Minn. In the summer of 1919, however, he reentered Y. M. C. A. work and on June 19 sailed from Seattle, Wash., for Vladivos- tok, Siberia, where he is still doing agricultural dem- onstration work in Siberia and European Russia un- der the auspices of the National War Work Council, Y. M. C. A.
WILSE UNDERWOOD
J. Wilse Underwood was and still is in the Y. M. C. A. service, and is building secretary of the avia- tion camp, Y. M. C. A., Great Lakes, Illinois. He enlisted for that service June 1, 1918, and was as- signed to the Great Lakes, where he has been ever since, giving of his service unstintedly and effectively to the boys in that great camp. Not the least of his qualifications for his work is his splendid voice, which he uses in song to the delight and betterment of those who hear him. He has been leading the singing for the senior chaplain's service on Sunday mornings, and giving himself to the whole work with singular devotion.
Mr. Underwood was born at Findlay, Ill., in 1883, and is a son of Mr. and Mrs. J. M. Underwood of that place. Before entering the "Y" service he was a mail carrier and salesman at Findlay. On May 19, 1908, he married Miss Mabel H. Cash, a daughter of Mr. and Mrs. George Cash of Vandalia. They have three children, namely: Elizabeth Helen, born Jan. 14, 1910; Jay Cash, Aug. 12, 1912, and Lester Wilse, March 21, 1919.
Books for Service Men
Co-operating in the country-wide campaign to supply the soldiers in camp and sailors on shipboard with reading matter, the Shelbyville Free Public Li- brary and Reading Roomslaunched a drive in Au- gust, 1917, for the collection of books and magazines for the service men. This was part of the general campaign undertaken by the American Library As- sociation, of which the local library is a member, and resulted in the collection of 273 volumes. These were sent to the St. Louis Public Library for ship- ment to their ultimate destination.
The second local drive for library books for the service men was put on in April, 1918, and as the result of a week's intensive campaign a total of 594 books was collected. Of these, 161 were works of nonfiction and 431 were books of fiction by popular authors. In the week's drive valuable assistance was rendered from various sources. The "books for sol- diers" campaign was featured each evening in a re- vival meeting that was in progress in a local church, and on the closing day of the campaign the Boy Scouts made a house to house canvass, bringing in the books in baskets, wheelbarrows, gunnysacks and automobiles.
The librarian and her assistants attached pockets, typed cards for the pockets and for catalogue ref- erence, and in every way prepared the books for service and circulation as though they were to go on the shelves of a regular library. The second lot of books was sent to Camp Grant, Rockford, Illinois.
The drives were put on under the direction of Miss Grace L. Westervelt, librarian, and the second was completed under the supervision of her succes- sor, Miss Erva J. Davis, the present librarian.
· More Cheerful Headlines
Following quickly after the signing of the armis- tice there was a decided change in newspaper head- lines. The "Safe Over Seas," "Somewhere in France," "Escaped the Subs," and similar lines that told of the outward voyage of American service men, gave way to the more cheerful "Lands in United States," "Overseas Soldiers Home," "Reception for Returning Men," or similar headlines that told the story of the war's ending and the home-coming oi the boys who escaped death and pestilence.

H Company, 130th. United States Infantry
S IXTEEN years of loyal service at home and abroad-in annual encampment, on riot duty, in flood rescue work, in tornado relief, on the Mexican border and culminating in some of the hardest fighting on various fronts of the European battle-torn areas-has characterized the activities of H Company, a military organization peculiarly Shel- byville's own.
Product of the patriotic spirit pervading the com- munity in either peace or war, Company H was or- ganized and mustered in as a unit of the Fourth Regiment, Illinois National Guard, in February, 1903, and retained its identity as an arm of that organiza- tion until it responded to the call for broader service and became a part of the Federal military machine Aug. 5. 1917.
America's entrance to the World War found the ranks of H Company greatly depleted. With the declaration of war, however, a local campaign for re- cruits was launched. The influence and active aid of business and professional men generally were en- listed, to such good effect that when the company entrained for the southern training camp, the names of 128 officers and men were on the roster of the company and regiment. The company was increased to war strength by the addition of other men at Camp Logan, Texas.
On April 20, 1917, Vance Courtright and Charles L. Twiss were elected captain and first lieutenant, respectively, to succeed L. N. Stewardson and J. Glen Miller, resigned. Harry Downs was elected second lieutenant. At that time the numerical strength of the company was low, and but fifteen enlisted men were ready and willing to take the Federal oath, an essential of induction into the broader service. These men were Virgil Sharp, Andy M. Hudson, Harry Downs, Henry Thompson, Ray Edwards, Ellsworth Fought, Gaylord Terry, Fred Martin, Roy Vanderpool, Howard Bridges, Charles Young, George Burnett, Orval Rich, Tom Tull and Ralph Conrad. To Vanderpool it was given later to be the first Shelby County man to make the supreme sacrifice under enemy fire.
Four men declined to join with their comrades in taking the larger obligation, but to the credit of the company and com- munity let it be written, when on Aug. 26, 1917, the opportunity was given for any who wished to withhold himself from any but the State service, not a man in the Shelbyville company failed nor hesitated in giving himself unreservedly to the service of mankind in the war to make the whole world safe for democ- racy.
