 The club governing board will en- deavor to even surpass the hunt of last year, when nearly 500 ducks were kiii- ed, and game supper given at which nearly 200 members and guests were seated.
 Many non-hunters have heretofore enjoyed the game suppers. being se- iected on one of the two teams. the losers to pay all expenses of the feast. but 1t Is possible that this year none but those who actually shoulder a gun and search for game will be allowed in.
 The event Is already being looked forward to. and somo of the members this year will go 200 and 800 miles up bayous in quest of game. having all ready chosen their hunting grounds.

 The narrow, winding passage lead ing to it must have been very attrac- tive to a snake seeking retired quar. ters in which to take its long winter nap.

Webster City, Jan. 22.-The Williams
Exchange, after six years of activity,
has closed it's doors and discontinued
business. This marks the end of an
aluminium money scheme, which at
try when it was started, and was made
the subject for an investigation upon
the part of the United States treasury
departent
The company was capitalized at but
1000, and it was composed of every
business house in Williams. but one.
Its object was the purchase of butter.
eggs and cream. Aluminium money in
denominations of from one cent to one
dollar, was used. 1t was not counter
felt, however, because it was good only
at the stores in Williams. So COM
mon did it become, tho, that it circu-
lated at par IN Williams, and all Its
contiguous territory. AT the exchange.
a few cents more than the market
price was paid for farm produce, pro-
vlded the aluminium money was ac-
cepted. Thus. in a way, it became
preferable to United States coins. Its
circulation greatly increased the per
capita circulation of Williams, and
made the town famous while the
scheme was still in its infancy. as well
as brought much additional trade to
Williams.
The plan has failed, however, be-
cause it was impossible for the COM
pany to conduct its business along
strictly business lines. None of the
business men forming the company
could give any personal time to it, so
that hired help had to be used ex-
clusively. For some time it has paid
no dividends and now 1t has been de-
cided to close.
