The american Peace and Arbitra-

Webster City TWO years ago as one OF
The headliners of the chautauqua. Al
that time he formed a local peace Or

a list of Webster City's prominent peo-
PIE. 1t is these latter who are now
being invited TO join the Arbitration
League. A pamphlet accompanying the

league as follows:
Universal peace by arbitration and
Cancellation.
Arbitration thru permanent inter-
national court OF arbitral justice.
Arbitration treaties between the
United States and all foreign nations.
Adequate armament for national Sc
curity and TO meet existing condi-

Captain Hobson is most interested, as

One Vinton Firm Handled $4,000
Worth Last Month.

Special to sRepublican.
Vinton, May 13.-Even at the pres
ent nigh price of eggs the ordinary
housekeeper would look with awe upon
the prospect of buying $4,000 worth Of
them in one month. Yet this is what
one Vinton firm, Fowler & Sons, did
during the month Of April.
The number of cases handled by
this firm during the month was 1900,
making ego, 900 dozens, or 4.sS0,001 in
dividual eggs. Figuring that the aver
age hen will lay twenty-five eggs a
month, it will be easily seen that Fow-
Ter & Sons had at least $4,000 hens
on their pay roll during that month, in
addition to the twenty-five or thirty
more human beings they employ the
