The Fourth at Fowler.

Meade in response to the invita-
ton of Fowler sent heavy contin-
gent up there to celebrate the natal
day. From those who were there
we learn that the affair was success
tul from the view point of enjoy
ment. There was good crowd
present, each one of whom was de-
termined to have a good time and
help everyone else enjoy the day.
The ball game between Fowler and
Bucklin was a splendid game. Thir-
teen innings were played and then it
had to be called a draw, the players
were so evenly matched. We are
told that Homer Graves and John
Sweet, of Meade, were the star play
ers for Fowler. In the evening the
streets were lighted with electricity
and the festivities carried on in to
the evening.

Mr.. S. O. Ball and his daughter,
Mrs. Elsie Griggs, arrived home

For the benefit of the voters gen.

week we will also print the two state
tickets. The Socialists and the
Prohibltionists neither have a ticket
for this county and we will not print
either. The two tickets will be kept
standing till the primary election on
August 2nd.
Louie Martison returned home
from Europe this week, arriving
on the 4th. Louie appears to
have enjoyed himself we'll and
found a fresh range, for he is
sure sleek and we'll fed. He said
he had enjoyed his visit to the
limit and that it was we'll worth
while, but that Meade looks good
to him. Illinois and all the Mis-
sissippi states are very dry,
drier than Louie ever saw them.
He said he crossed the east
channel of the river from Illinois
to Rock Island where the U. S.
arsenal is on foot, dry shod.
Blue grass had been burned over
in June at various places. The
small grain crops there are now
where they must have rain or
perish. Louie remarked to a
friend that his oats being green
and so well advanced would
make crop even if it did not
rain. But his friend said, no
they will die in a few days.
Louie was sizing it up by Meade
county and it won't work any
where else.

OF the hardest tasks in its history to
move the crowd from Eastlake Park
last night. The afternoon was warm
and delightful until after o'clock.
Nobody thought of leaving until about
that time and then all wanted to go
at once. and there were strenuous
times for the car men. There were
scores of automobiles lined all thru
the park, but these took only small
fraction of the great throng, and 1t
was late in the evening before all
could be brought away.
Registration by Counties.
While the registration was large,
many thousands evidently did not reg
lister. From Marshall county there were
32S registrations, many of them hus-
band and wife, so the total was really
much larger. Mahaska had 256, Jasper
1875. Hardin 1S4, Polk Ala, Poweshiek
$50, Story $50, Wright 80, Franklin
"a, Boone $50, Grundy Ito. Other coun-
ties of the state averaged similarly.
These names are all carefully typewrit-
ten and placed open for Iowan's in
spection at the headquarters at the
California Savings Bank in Los An
geles, and also flied by the card index
system at the Los Angeles Chamber
Of Commerce. This forms a convenient
way Of locating friends at any time
during the coming year.
