hopes are entertained for his recov-

Webster City, April 26.-Webster
City school ma'ams are up in arms.
The school board Is discussing the mat
ter of prohibiting them from attending
card, theater or dancing parties or
otherwise keeping late hours on even

ject was brought up at the last meet
ing of the board and some action on
the matter is anticipated at the May
meeting. Righteous indignation is
rampant among teachers at the var
ious school buildings and some con-
certed movement on the part of the
teachers is looked for.
The matter of putting brake upon
the social life of the teachi - was

DAILY NEWS BEGINS
 THIRD YEAR TODAY
TOday's Issue Begins the Third Year of The News Life. Many Improve
 menIs During Its Existence

The Prescott Daily News is two years old today.
 The event is a source of much pride to the management of the News Printing Co.,, for several reasons.
 First because the occasion was made possible by a liberal ap- preciatiOn Of our efforts by the people of Prescott generally, who have accorded us every en- cCuragement in the enterprise, and the patronage has been am pie to maintain it's existence.
 Second, because of the pre- diction many timid ones made that three months would be the time limit of it's existence, and that Prescott was not large en- ough to support daily.
 There are many other reasons that causes us to celebrate the day, but the matter of which we are the proudest is the ma terial progress Prescott has made during it's existence. or the wonderful improvements seen on every hand, and the betterment of the town generally.
 Chief among these might be mentioned the S25,O ,OOO hotel, built by private capital. the S1O,- GOO annex to the Tom Allen High school, the laying of over five miles of concrete walks, and the scores of handsome residences that have been erected through out the city and it's suburbs. In the business district, the march of progress has been as plainly evident as i'll other parts of the city. We refer with much pride to the Ozan Mercantiie's hand some home, the McRae block, occupied by the Hesterly Drug Store and others, the Clark build ing the home of the McDaniel Hardware Co., and probably others.
 Many movements and better or ganization has effected much good to the town. The organiz- dllOIl ol IcN btl tllC COu NliN II Club and other social features, and a wonderfully improved fra ternal spirit, the betterment of our schools, the increased at tendance at churches, the era dication of the blind tiger, the increased capital of our manu- featuring plants, the injection of new capital and the influx of new people, and the better enforce ment of our laws are all matters | that call for a great degree of pride and satisfaction.
 The tearing away of the old awnings from the business houses the successful opera tion of our water and light plant, the im- proved condition of telephone service and many other items of public utility might be men, toned in summing up the great good accomplished and all with
 in the past two years.
 Two years have meant much, not only in the life of he Pres colt Daily News but to every citizen of Prescott.
