Council Bluffs
Boys and Staples
Cause Trouble
Concerted Effort Being Made to Stop
Practice that is Doing Much
Damage in City.

There was a general roundup OF the boys
attending the Washington avenue school
made by order of the principal. Miss Man
gum, yesterday afternoon in the effort to
break up a dangerous practice that has
developed among the pupils-shootng heavy
metal staples from rubber bands and mig
ger shooters The order was to search
the pockets Of every lad and confiscate
their supply Of ammunition. The youngsters
have assumed that the street lamps are
the natural targets, and the electric light
company has been compelled continuously
to replace the expensive tunEstens that
have been smashed. Many complaints
have been made from persons who have
been struck by the dangerous missiles.
Yesterday Abe Stahlmaster lob Avenue
A. and Harold Luce, 7S7 Avenue Z, were
using the rubber band devices on Scott
street as they we're returning from school
at noeA. One Of the sharp points struck
one Of The Bee office boys on the hand,
inflictins painful wound. The Stahl-
master boy admitted the mischief, but
claimed II was accidental Each boy had
pocketful Of the staples. Some of the
boys buy the staples, but many Of them
steal them. Thousands of the keen pointed
staples have been scattered around the
streets in this manner and scores Of auto
mobile tires have been punctured. If the
appeal made to the teachers Of the schools
fails the police and juvenile courts will be
called upon to assist In breaking UP the
practice.

Council Bluffs
BOOSTERS TRAVEL TO AVOCA
Special Train Takes Three Hundred
to East End Fair.
SCATTER EXPOSITION BADGES
Return Compliment During Fruit
and Corn show-Great
Crowd Comes,

The special train that left here yesterday
shortly before 10 o'clock carried about 300
boosters and picked up many others at the
stations on the way to the Avoca fair.
The coaches were decorated with flags
and bunting and the big canvas banners
that have been prepared by George F.
Hamilton, chairman OF the publicity com
mittee advertising the Horticultural Con-
gress, Exposition and Corn show. The
Council Bluffs crowd was literally supplied
with exposition mementoes There were
about 5000 people at the fair all eager to
get the badges and the Council Bluffs
boosters pinned them on coat lapels as
long as the supply lasted.
The Avoca people met the train with a
band and shouts of welcome and every at
.tenuon was shown the visitors. At the
fair grounds during the afternoon the
special program that had been arranged
for the day was suspended for half an hour
to listen to speeches from Council Bluffs
men. Among the orators was Judge ca
II. Scott, who raised the enthusiasm sew
eral degrees higher in brilliant talk Of
twenty minutes duration. He talked
chiefly about the big combined exposition
and secured the approval of the entire
audience.
The boosters introduced several novel
anu OIlknAl IDEAS. On Ln6 way 10 AVOCH
by arrangement with the railroad officials
the train was held at each station long
enough to permit the Council Bluffs men
to march in a long procession through the
main parts of the towns, scattering fruit
and corn show matter and distributing the
yellow silk badges. Another feature was
the presence of the wives and daughters of
many of the Council Bluffs men, who
Joined most heartily in the professions and
the boosting.
The Avoca fair this season has been
the most successful in the history OF the
association. The attendance has been good
each day but 1t remained for Council
Bluffs day to draw the record breaking
attendance, when II was declared that
the largest crowd was there that had ever
gathered in the town.
! An agreement was definitely reached
yesterday that Avoca is to have a day at
the big fruit and corn show and the prom
the east end Of the county and the other
territory tributary to Avoca would come
to Council Bluffs on that day.
The Commercial club, executive commit
tees of the fruit and corn shows will go to
McClelland today to attend the annual
county picnic at the county farm. II is
expected that several thousand people will
| be present and one of the most eventful
| days in the history Of the village will be
enjoyed
A lengthy program has been prepared,
and will have some interesting and instruc-
! tive features, including lectures on corn
| growing and seed selection.
