The Algona Courier doesn't believe
that Prof. Holden is entitled to all the
credit for the increased corn crop in
Iowa. Favorable weather had some

gests, and 1t adds: But his expert

we have no doubt that because of them
the corn yield of the state will be in
creased"

officials Arc All Innocent.

The case of Law VS.. the City and
County of San Francisco, a proceeding
instituted by the physician and capi-
talist whose name appears as plaintiff,
against the municipality for the pur-
pose of testing the validity of the pro-
posed bond issue of $4,000. 900 was
submitted TO the Supreme Court yes
terday. On June the court gave con-
testants ten days TO file briefs and the
case should have been submitted June
16. Inasmuch as a decision in this
proceeding is awaited with feverish
interest by thousands of people, there
was some question as to why the case
had not been submitted on time. None
of the court officials could explain who
was at fault and so the matter is prob
ably to remain one of the unsolved
mysteries.

NAVAL CLUB
HOUSE WILL
BE DEDICATED
BY Sally Sharp.

Out with your pretty frocks, maids
and matrons-those of you who are
hidden to Vallejo on Saturday after
noon, when the Naval Club house, be-
loved by all femininity, will be dedi-
Gated with a jubilation befitting the
triumph of its creation.
Admiral and Mrs. McCalla, projectors
of the clubhouse, will be toasted loud
and long on the day of the dedication,
not only by the ''jackies," but by the
men and women who have lent a hand
and many have lent both-to bring
the affair TO successful completion.
1t will be remembered that Admiral
McCalla laid the foundation for the
fund when he magnanlmously contrib
uted his prize money won during the
Spanish-American war. To this sum
various individuals, clubs and other or
ganizatiOns gave various amounts,
thereby making the clubhouse for the
sailor laddies a possibility.
AS the club stands to-day, the DOM
inant figure of the countryside. it is
fit gift to the sailormen. Its four
stories embrace sleeping apartments
for the men. well-equipped bathrooms,
a theater, a large dining hall. bill
liard-room, a library, a gymnasium
and all the accessories that go to make
an up-to-date clubhouse
For the maintenance of the home a
nominal sum will be charged for the
clubs privileges with the view TO max
ing it partially supporting and
also that the sailormen be not pauper-
ized by an institution that seeks TO
elevate them.
On Saturday Vallejo will be gay in
honor of the day. Admiral and Mrs.
McCalla will entertain a party of
friends at luncheon at their hospitable
home, and many of the officers wives
will likewise entertain.
At no time were the naval set gayer
than now, each week bringing its quota
of hops, card parties and skimmings
over the blue.
A wedding that will interest Cali
fornians, and San Rafaelites in par
ticular, is that of charming Winifred
Hester Macintosh and Robert Hewitt
Menzies. which occurred on July
at the summer home of the bride in
the AulTOnOdNhS. nope was tiilSl ldiLl-
ed for some time by San Francisco
friends of both bride and groom that
they might be given a chance TO dance
at the wedding, but the fair bride de-
cided that her mountain home in the
East should be her nuptial hall.
Rev. John s. Macintosh. we'll re-

that the bride. who holds in her heart

journey. Where, indeed. could be
found a fairer bower for honeymoon

bonny bride over in San Rafael?
