PEOPLES PULPIT.
THE "oLp FIELD

The odd Field was used wears age
as place Of resort. The nice, level
field for baseball. the old grove OF
magnificent oaks for picnics and other
meetings make 1t an ideal place. At
one time it was offered to us for
small outlay and we now can look
back and see what we lost by not ac-
cepting the offer. What beautiful
place it would have been by this time.
1t is an ideal place for PARK II IL

fore OttumWa was thought Of 1t has

The grove has streets on the east and
west sides. Elm and Jefferson streets
respectively. The car line on Court
is only about 1000 feet west. via Keith
or Park avenues, and the Jefferson
street line is about the same distance
south. Either line could be extended
to the grounds without much cost. 1t
is almost in the center of the county.
The meeting of the old soldiers and
the old settlers has again revived the
desire. to see this beautiful piece OF
nature made into park. Why cannot
we secure it at this time? The price
is not excessive. If we. let it 60 by
this time we will never have the

WATERMELO DAY
At WEBSTER CITY
MONSTER PARADE FEATURE OF
UNUSUAL ATTRACTION ON
OCTOBER 27.

Webster City, Sept. 13.-This city
has decided to hold it's annual Water
melon day Tuesday, Oct. 81 This biz
celebration is put on by the CONNER
cial league. It was begun last fall
and so successful was it that the
league has decided to make 1t an an
nual event.
Everything is free in Webster City
on Watermelon day. There are no
pay attractions and watermelons are
given away. Last year car load was
purchased for the occasion and the
amount proved insufficient. This year
at least two cars will be purchased.
The celebration will be held on the
east side in the old fair grounds. A
monster parade OF commercial and in
dustrial floats will be held in the morn
ing. At the grounds there will be free
attractions galore. The idea of the
affair is to give over one day in the
year when the merchants and business
men Of the city play the host to the
people of the community and con.
tiguous territory. 1t is in reality an
advertising proposition, pure and sim.
pie. 1t gives opportunity for the mer-
chants to get in closer touch with
their trade. and the fact that on one
day In the year they can enjoy cele-
bration absolutely free of cost is pleas
ing to both farmers and townspeople.

monument fund have entered denial
of the report sent out several days
ago to the effect that if the full sum
required for the monument is not
raised by Jan. l, that the $4,000 APP
will not be available.
/, Caroline Young Smith who is at the
head of the movement to complete the

looked up the law relative to the APP
preparation and they declare that
there is no time limit placed.
Gen. Grenville M. Dodge, chairman
of the fund committee, who is now in
New York, has heard the report and
in a letter to Curator Harlan asserts
that Jan. is not the time limit, nor
is there any limit as far rs he knows.
Although the work OF securing con-
tributions to the fund has been some.

it is the expectations of members OF
the committee that the money Will
come in fast within a few weeks.

vantage by the committee, so it is
stated.
