A Grand Succe 80.

The two days tournament Of the Web.
ster Rod and Gun club, which was held
on Tuesday and Wednesday of this
week, was one which reflects credit
upon the City of Webster and the Off.
GERS and members of the club. Being a
new thing for Webster the local club is
ell the more to be congratulated on the
splendid manner in which the event
was pulled of. In the active manage
ment Of the shoot the club is indebted
to Mr.. VIM. Brown, q representative of
the Union Metallic Cartridge Co., who
is an expert in that line and who had
direct charge of the entries at the
grounds.
A large number of outside devotees as
well as nearly every member of the
Webster club took part in the tourna-
ment and we are afraid that some Of
the uninitiated may have thought that
Hobson's war with Japan had already
begun. Among the outside sports who

the visitors on the management and the
entertainment afforded them and were

New Factory OF Western Grocer
Company Mills is Made Ready
For Occupancy
OLD BUILDING FOR STORAGE
Owing TO Lack Of Room Canning Do.

Building for Canned Goods Ware
house = Big Corn and Tomato Pack
Factory Will Run Night and Day.

The new plant Of the Western Gro
Ger Company mills, which has been In
progress OF being made ready for oc-
cupancy for several months, was today
practically occupied in all its depart
ments, the office having been moved
from the old building Saturday. Man
ager r. w. McCreery already has
charge Of what is in all respects a
model plant, but of course II will be
some time before everything is in ship
shape" The first roasting of coffee
in the new plant was done today, when
the new roasters that were installed in
the new buildings were placed in OPP
Grafton.
Doubling the. roasting capacity OF
the concern made 1t possible to operate
continuously while the moving was be-
ing completed. The old roasters will he
set up in the new buildings. and will
be ready for operation within a few
days.
Canning Department Zig Thing.
The canning department OF the Wes-
tern Grocer Company mills. which was
added this season, is proving to be a
big thing, both in point Of labor en-
ployed, and manufactured goods that
are being placed on the market. The
day force alone is being worked now.
but within fortnight the canning
factory will be operated day and night.
Big Corn and Tomato Pack.
There Is every evidence that there
will be an immense corn and tomato
pack this season. Home grown to-
matoes are already on the market,
but will not appear in any great guam
titles for several days. The corn is
about ready, and the quality Is pro-
nounced as very fine.
The canning department has been
doing such an immense business in
different varieties Of beans, hominy.
sauer kraut and other staples, that 1t is
now facing storage proposition, and
in order to have warehouse facilities
the old building occupied by the
Spencer-Letts Coffee Company on
Market street. has bd en rented for
canned goods storage purposes.

Refuses $1,1O0 Job Of School
Board to Teach Science and
Act as Coach
REFUSAL BY LETTER TODAY
Griffith Writes superintendent Palmer
That He Has Accepted Better Po-
sition Elsewhere - No Other Appli-
carts for Combination Work, Such
a. Board Sought to Secure.

Dwight CGoldie') Griffith, Of Iowa
City, the former star quarterback and
captain of the Iowa football team. who
was a possibility for coach Of the
Marshalltown high school football team
and other athletic organizations, will
not come to Marshalltown. Word to
that effect as received by Superintend-
ent Palmer today in letter in which
Griffith stated that he had accepted a
better position elsewhere.
The school board here offered Crit
filh $1,100 for his work as teacher In
the science department Of the high
school, and his duties as coach of the
different athletic organizations. 1t was
believed that the offer would be ac-
cepted, especially when Griffith asked
date for his answer arrived last week
The board has no other applicants
for the combined positions but there
are plenty of teachers who will be
available for the science teaching posi-
ton. These are all women, however,
and It was desired that man be Sc
cured. The athletic organizations will
take up the matter of a coach by en-
deavoring to secure some one on part
time, in which the board will doubtless
defray a part of the expense.
