POPULARITY OF
ROOSEVELT AND TAFT
The Eject Of Picture. i the Two
Men Upon Webster City
Audiences.

Something Of the difference in
the popularity OF Roosevelt and Taft
IN Webster City may be judged by
the applause given pictures Of these
two prominent men recently thrown
upon the screen in the Orpheum
Theatre In this city.
"A picture Of Theodore Roosevelt
was shown in connection with the
digging Of the Panama Canal last
week at this theatre, and at its ev-
cry appearance the audience ap-
plauded vigorously. Last evening
several local scenes were seen
at the Orpheum, Manager Hyatt
having had these slides made from
photographs taken by James Traver
on Watermelon Day. Among them
was picture OF President Taft, TAX
en- in the city park while he was de-
liverfng his speech upon that date.
This view ELECTED no applause from
the Webster City people who saw 1t
last evening. Or rather the attempt
at applause was so weak that the ef-
fort was painfully apparent to all
present. is

Former Well Known Webster City
Business Man Making Good

in New Field.

When F. w. Heron resided in
Webster City, conducting a jewelry
store here, little did the people
think that some day he would rival
the Hon. w. ]. Bryan as a public
speaker and authority in his class.
Just listen to the following from the
Davenport Daily Times:
The Y. M. G. A. Technical Insti-
tute has secured Hon. F. w. Heron,
president of the Royal Indemnity
company to deliver his famous lect-
ure on "Salesmanship" at the open
ing of the salesmanship course CT
the Institute on the evening Of
Wednesday, November L. Mr.. Her.
on is recognized the country over as
an authority on craftsmanship, rank
ing in this line, as high as William
Jennings Bryan does on the Char
tauqua platform. Mr.. Heron can
command salary higher than any
other salesmanship instructor in
America today.
The Technical Institute considers
itself very fortunate in securing Mr..
Heron, who refuses nearly all re-
quests to lecture. At the earnest ap-
peal OF the business mems associa-
ton Of Omaha, Mr.. Heron last year
instructed a class of 81 students in
the science Of salesmanship, for
which he was paid a handsome
price.
Recognizing the value to It's en-
ployes Of proper training in sales

Probably the fastest game Of foot

afternoon. The game that was to

from Emmetsburg has been aban-

Webster City will try for honors
with the East High school of Des
Moines.
This aggregation Of pigskin chas-
'ers are considered by football fans
over the state as the probable win
ners Of the state championship and
Is ahead of any team that has ever
visited this city. Although the To-
Gals cannot expect to defeat these
stars. it is hoped they will hold
them down to low score; and ev-
cry effort will be made by Coach
Meyer in order that when the
whistle is heard for the calling Of
the session, Webster City's squad
will be in the very best of condition.
Some of the old stars who were on
the team several years ago are out
every evening in uniform to buck
the high school line and they work
until 1t is too dark to see the oval.
Two of the games played by the
pes Moines team have been with the
squads from Charlton and rOttumwa.
The score. from the former at the
end Of the game stood East High IS.
Charlton O.awhile Ottumwa was de-
feated by them byga score of 43 to

v:eitors will leave the field here as
the victors next Friday, 1t Is thought
that the locals will make q better
showing against their speedy oppon-
ents than either Of the above teams.
The attendance at the games this
year has been considerable Of dis

them that for this, the fastest game

Boyootting the Newspapers.

The grocers and newspapers of
Des Moines are having hot time
and according to report the grocers
have taken their advertisements out
of the Des Moines papers in way Of
retaliation. II the grocers adver-
tise in Des Moines they are different
than the grocers Of Webster City,
who do not indulge much in adj
vertising. The opening OF the city
market in Des Moines was blow
4. the grocer's combine, which IL
really statewide organization, and
because the papers favored the mar
ket idea the capital city grocers or
ganized boycott against the pa
pers. Then the newspapers bore
down still heavier on the groce-s
and the latter announced they would
not even buy any supplies from any
body who advertises in Des MoineS
papers. Then came the plans for
the annual pure food show at the
coliseum which is intended to be a
scheme for encouraging the use Of
the best food articles. In retalia-
tion the newspaper combine has
placed the pure food show under the
ban and the papers will not once
mention 1t. The fight bids fair to
get into politics next spring because
Of the sympathy which the members
Of the city council have shown for
the open market and the effort Of
city officials to break up the COM
bine on high prices. Des Moines
grocers. like most of the groeers In
Iowa, have been charging ontrag-
eous prices for potatoes and the
mayor OF Des Moines shipped in .
lot and sold them at reasonable
prices. This intensified the feeling
and the war is waxing hot.

OVERHAUL THE
OLD COURT HOUSE
Structure Should be Remodsled to
Conform With Present nay
Surroundings.

Hamilton county's court house ,
erected more than thirty-five years
ago, was one of the finest structures
OF the kind in the. state at that
time. It is q good building yet and
its architectural arrangement and
symmetry are as good as any Of its
size. However, the structure needs
overhauling, especially the exterior.
II the outside could be covered with
cement splash the cornice fixed over.
the cupola overhauled, and all bur.
nished up In lirst-class style We
would have a court house In keep
ing with the spirit of progress
throughout the county and city.
Now that the city power house.
which has been an eye-sore for many
years in the vicinity where 1t has
been located. is to be removed and
new up-to- date high school build
ing erected upon that site, which is
just across the street east from the
court house. and the fine new Meth
odist church is to be built on the 0or-
ner north, Hamilton county's tenn
rle OF justice will not be in harmon
ious keeping with its surroundings.
The Freeman-Tribune believes the
people of the county would endorse
the board of supervisors If 1t would
&C ahead and fix up the court house
In manner justified by present day
conditions and the wealth of the
county.
