Rev. Merle N. Smith Gives Lecture on
James Russell Lowell,


James Russell Lowell.
The Twentieth Century Club was
entertained Tuesday evening by Judge
COL West Main street. Notwithstanding
that the storm kept many away. there
was good attendance Of members and
guests.
The evenings entertainment con-
sisted of a thoroughly delightful lee
ture on James Russell Lowell, by Rev.
Merle N. Smith. It was appreciated so
much the moro because of the time
put by the members Of the study class
Upon that subject. Briefly summed up,
the leading thoughts of Mr.. Smiths
address We're as follows:
Great men often come in groups
Genius seems to multiply itself, as wit
ness Emerson and Thorean, Whittier
and Hawthorne; Longfellow. Holmes
and Lowell Lowell was not a recluse.
but a. man among men. He was an
editor, essayist, a. diplomat, and a
poet, and in every department distin-
guished himself. The blood of his
Puritan ancestors was scarcely
thinned in him. He had the Puritan
PASSION luI tOS1Iy 0Ir0 WI
God. He was representative of Amer
lean ideals, and American literature.
His humor was turned loose in the
interests of righteousness. The Bige-
low papers are Lowell at his best. He
is one Of our great nature poets"
Rev. Smith then gave a study Of the
"Comu1emoration Ode" "The Cathe-
dral," and ''The Vision Of Sir Laun-
fall"
Following the lecture dainty refresh
nents were enjoyed, the men Of the
club doing the serving. The house
was decorated in daffodils. Guests
present from out of town were Miss
Grace Brennecke, Of Denver, and Miss
Anna Wolfe Of Cedar Fork. S. p.

but on the northern division OF the

Three Trains Showed In.
The Central reported this morning
that three trains were showed In dur
ing a part Of all of last night. These
trains were Nos. and s, south bound.

The Central also had trouble with
its telegraph wires both north of here

were forced to stay in the city all
night ~.

Toledo Insists on Games,

Editor Times-Republican The girls
basketball team of the Toledo high
school has demonstrated the fact that
it can play basketball. This is the
first year the girls have played. but
they have won from all Of the teams in
this vicinity, and also from Cedar
Falls, Sc to 10 and West Waterloo, 10
to g. The only game they have lost out
of the whole season was to Marshall
town, by a score of % to %. Since that
time Marshalltown has lost a game to
Cedar Falls on her own floor. Marshall
town lost to a team which was de-
feated by Waterloo, and by Toledo by
a decisive score.
This leaves Toledo with as clear a
record as can be found anywhere in the
state. It is true we lost to Marshall
town, but under circumstances OF
which we could easily complain were
we so disposed. Since that time we
have offered at different times to play
Marshalltown, but each time they have
refused, hoping to keep their record
clear.
They are in a position where they
can lay no claim to the state champ
ionship unless they play us and We are
willing to give them game.
The record of the Waterloo and Ce-
dar Falls teams demonstrated that
they are clearly the best teams in the
northern part Of the state and the fact
that they were both so decisively beat
en- by Toledo places the Toledo team
above any team in that section. The
fact that the Toledo team has not met
more Of the teams farther west Is due
to no lack Of effort on Toledo's part.
as we have attempted to schedule
games with any team that has made
creditable showing A. L. Ferguson.

have finished UP the work of subscrip-
tons in this city.

at $50. and the membership alone can
thus subscribe over $1,000. The stock
is payable In fun thirty days after sub
seribing, or $40 monthly for five
months. When fully paid up the stock
is to draw per cent until bought out
by the association. The land on which
the building is to stand Is estimated to
be worth $4,000. and whatever sum

are to be invaded by the most dan
gerous insect known to man. "My
gracious ] hear The good housewife
exclaim. "Is it as bad as that? al
ways did hate the pesky things. but
| had no idea they were really dam
gerous.'
Yes, madam, they are so danger
GUS as carriers of disease that You
should fight for their exclusion from
your home as you would against
wild beasts seeking your life.
Flies are the dirtiest and fllthiest
of all vermin. They are born in
filth. The manure pile, the garbage
can and the outdoor vault produce
ninety. nine per cent of all the house
flies in existence. They carry mil
lions of disease germs in their fee.
Study their habits just a little /
and you will be convinced. The fac
is, the fly is so unspeakably nasty
that it is impossible to tell you all
the nasty things he does. He thinks
nothing of leaving his feast of the
carcass of horse or dog to sample
all the good things you have on your
dining room table. He will crawl all
over the butter or obligioglY tumble
into the baby's milk with his germ
laden feet; or, escaping this fate, be
meets his end in your tea or coffee.
Rest assured that if you permit flies
to have the freedom of your house
YOU will actually eat the filth which
they deposit on whatever they touch.
Now, for protection from this
dangerous pest, see to it that all
doors and windows are carefully
screened. Also be very careful to
keep flies away from all foodstuffs.
To kill them in the house, make a Z
per cent solution of bichromate of
potash. Sweeten with sugar and
place in shallow dishes throughout
the house. This is cheap, can be had
