A Delightful Evening

The home of Mr.. and Mrs.
C. w. Stoddard was the scene
of a very merry gathering last
evening when twenty of the
teachers from our schools, re-
sponded to invitations issued by
the hostess to come and "spend
the evening"" The early part
of the evening was passed in
playing Finch, after which
Mr.. Stoddard played several
pieces on his fine new Edison
photograph. The hostess then
called attention to a large cake
with several candles in it,
which occupied a prominent
position in the library. Each
guest was given a ribbon ard
by this, the candle was lifted
out and tied around some of
the candles were written quota
tions taken from various au-
thors and around others were
the names of these authors, so
in this manner partners were
found for supper.
An elegant three course sup
per was served by the hostess
assisted by Miss Thomas. At
ter all had done ample justice
to the supper, an hour YVES
spent in chatting and visiting.
Miss Carol White gave several
selections which all greatly en-
joyed. Miss Eleanor Fensler
also gave reading which de-
lighted the guests, after which,
owing to the lateness of tie
hour, goodbyes were said all
declaring they had enjoyed
themselves to the limit. ).
The Wood house on Third

FIGHT AGAINST NEWSPAPERS
creston Business Men Up in Arms Be-
cause Of Raise in Advertising Rates

creston Business Men Up in Arms Be-
cause of Raise in Advertising Rates.
Special to Times T.epuhlican.
Creston, Aug. 2S.-Creston newspa-
pers are up 10 their ears in grief as
result, OF trouble instituted by their
raise In advertising rates. Some time
ago 1t was announced that beginning
the first Of September advertising
rates would be advanced so per cent,
as expenses were higher and justified
the raise. Last evening the matter
was taken up by the Business Mems
club, and a rather exciting session was
the result. Sides were taken on the
question and an exciting contest is
looked for between the different fac
tions. 1t has been agreed upon at
former meeting Of the club that no
new paper would be favored with ad-
vertising from. the members OF the
club should one venture to start. This
was done in order to keep the adver-
tising cost down to the minimum
among the merchants. Now, part Of
the business men say that prosperity
does not agree with the papers and
they do not know when they have
enough. They favor blacklisting the
new rate card and those who adyer-
tise under it. This, the opposite fac
ton call unjust and say that the pa
pers have as much right to advance
their price as the merchants have to
advance theirs. Both sides are quite
excited over the matter and it is be-
ing watched with good deal of in
terest among advertisers and publish
ers over the state.

looked for vacation, which they have
been unable to take In the past on
account of their small salary and large
expenses.
One of the most profitable addresses
was that delivered by w S. Hoon, of
Ames. on THE Rural Delivery Horse"
Mr.. Hoon is a man that thoroughly
understands a horse and knows very
we'll what kind of a horse would be
needed for the rural service. He says
the carrier must not look for style and
high action and speed in the horse
for the performance of his work. The
rural house is for work and not for
show. The average horse in the rural
service must travel over 100 miles
each week or In the neghborhood of
5000 miles year. What must be
looked for in the rural horse is one
that is able to perform the greatest
number of consecutive days service. at
minimum cost for feed, in other
words, the horse must be built for util-
ity. The horse of medium size has
more endurance and more days of
service than the larger or the small
er type. A horse weighing about 1000
pounds in good road condition is large
enough for the work, and has more
good wearing qualities than larger
horse would have in the rural serv-
ice.
R. E. e. Townsend, of Davenport,

tor-cycle in covering his route.
