DO IT FOR IOWA"
WILL BE THE SLOGAN
Gathering in Davenport at Close Of
Meeting Local Councilmen
Will Attend.

The meeting of the League OF
Iowa municipalities, which coun-
cilmen John Essig and Fred Hahne
were appointed to attend at the last
session of the city council, assem-
bles in Davenport on the 18th and
10th of the present month. Inn
mediately following this meeting.
en- Oct. goth and 21st, will occur
the 1911 convention of the Iowa
League of Commercial Clubs. ''Do
it for Iowa." will be the slogan
which will be sounded from the
house tops in Davenport upon this
occasion. Davenport is sending
broadcast an invitation to every
city and town in Iowa to send ono
or two delegates to this latter meet
ing.
Under the organization rules OF
the League of Commercial Clubs.
delegates must be members of COM
n.ercial clubs in the various towns
in the state, but Davenport hopes
to put over new idea and to.
bring together in convention at
least one man from every town in
the state that is interested in do
ing something progressive, wheth-
er the town from which the dele
gate comes has commercial or
gapization or not. 1t Is expected
that the enthusiasm imbibed by
such delegates will be such that
they will carry the inspiration
home from the convention and
cause the organization Of a COM
mercial league in their home towns.
The Freeman-Tribune is author
lied to extend to the citizens in all
the towns of Hamilton county an
invitation to so to Davenport and
"whoop-er-up" for the grand old
Hawkeye state.
This convention will begin im-
mediately following the close Of the
convention of the League of Iowa
municipalities, and it is understood
that many of the municipal visitors
from various towns of the state who
will be in Davenport to attend this
meeting will stay over for this lat
ter convention.

race which started from this city
Thursday, Lieutenant Hans Gericke.
pilot Of the Berlin H., was lost to
the world for the third time.
Saturday night, after the other
entries in the race had been heard
from, a telegram was sent by the
Aero club of Kansas City to Fred
C. Ainsworth, adjutant general Of
the United States army, asking that
all life saving stations signal corps
and others in government service in
the great lakes region be requested
to look for the German balloon.
Shortly after this telegram was
sent message was received from
Lieutenant Gericke, telling OF his
landing at Ladysmith, Wis, at Z
o'clock yesterday morning, hayiag
travelled 468 miles. Gericke 6ld
his aide, E. o. Duncker, who came
from Germany with the pilot, land
ed in a wilderness, uninjured, but
were unable to reach a telegraph
station before midnight.
Lieutenant Gericke was also giv-
en- up as lost last year in the in
ternational balloon race which
started from st. Louis. In the Ger
man balloon Dusseldorf II, he was
in the air forty-two hours, travel
ing 1,1OO miles and landing in the
wilderness of Cana, from which he
and his aide emerged four days lat
er after a narrow escape from star
vation.
Gerickes second time to be Civ
en- up for lost was last summer,
when he went up from Berlin in
the German elimination race. He
drifted out over the North sea. He
was sighted in England, but was
again lost from view over the
North sea. He finally landed In
France.
The nearest rival OF the German
balloon in this years race was the
Buckeye, piloted by Lieut.. Frank
Lahm OF the United States ARMY.
1t landed near Lacrosse, Wis, $40
miles from Kansas City. Lieuten-
ant Lahm and his aide, j.. H. Wade.
landed in a swamp, suffering great
ly from the cold. They had en-
countered a severe storm after pass
ing over Chicago and drifting out
over Lake Michigan, they met a
scuthward current which completely
changed their course. They tried
to rise above this, but succeeded
only in finding a current which
carried them westward. They were
both worn out and exhausted with
their nine hour vigil and 1t was de-
cided that they land.
In winning this years race Ger
many has taken the Bennett cup
from America into possession 1t
would have permanently fallen If
this country had been victorious.
America had won the championship
for two successive years and a vic
tory this year would have ended
this international series. The next
race will be held in Germany.

Webster City High School Football
Team is Victorious in First
Game Of Present
Season.
DEFEATS THE HAMPTON TEAM.
Fast Game Played in This City Sat
urday The Score is II
to o.

Z y I l a9yF
The Webster City high school
met with victory in Its first foot
ball game Of the present season.
About three hundred spectators
witnessed the local team defeat the
huskies from Hampton in fast
game at the west side baseball park
Saturday afternoon by score Of
IL to o. The contest was exciting
all the way through and filled with
sensational plays by both teams.
but the locals had the best Of the
argument.
Hampton won the toss and de-
Tended the east goal to receive the
kick which was returned about
fifteen yards and after about
four minutes of line bucking, dur
Ing which both teams had the ball.
Hampton was forced to punt to
HeImick, who carried the pigskin
across the line for the first touch
down amidst laundering applause
from the rooters!
Coach Meyers squad showed the
advantage Of his tutorship quite
plainly with an assortment Of now
plays that kept their rivals in con-
slant confusion as to the where
abcuts OF the oval The second
touchdown was made by Berggren
In the last two minutes OF play.
With the ball on the fifteen yard
line, the pigskin was passed to him
IN the old cross buck play, and he
wiggled through the opposing lines
IN fashion that caused even the
chronic baseball fans to go wild
with enthusiasm. The forward pass
was also used to advantage by
both teams. In the third quarter
sImily. left half for Hampton, was
forced to retire from the game ow.
ing to bump received in the con-
test. The young man has been
nursing an injured knee received
during the summer and 1t was a
bruise on this old injury that forc-
ed him to retire to the sides lines.
He was replaced by r. Williams.
Mckee, one OF the last years To-
cal stars. easily retained his place
In the hearts OF the rooters with his
gains in smashing. 1t was quite
evident that he has lost none Of his
old time "pep." Helmick also show
ed up well on the full back Job and
proved by his work that. though ex-
perience is important. 1t is not a
necessity In becoming q football
hero. In the quarter back position
Dodge managed the team in way
that was a credit to his coach,
while Berggren at left half back
must be given his share Of credit
10 the victory. as his long gains and
fine defensive work spoke of former
experience in this line. Groves and
Daniels of the line positions did

1sls fumbled at times. he easily re-
aeemed himself with his speed at
running down punts.
Coach Meyer expressed his satis-
faction at the showing made by the
entire team and Gays that with an
other weeks practice his squad will
be able to beat 'em all. The root
ers also come In for their share In
the defeat OF the Hampton huskies.
They were lead by Frank Miller,
who acted as ''toastmaster," and
flied the position in way that
caused him to be given the place Of
"ohicial cheer-leader" for the home
team. The line up in Saturdays
game was as follows:

279J Divorces

For the first time in the history of
the state accurate statistics have
been kept on the number of divorces
granted in the entire state and the
report of the state bureau of inspec-
ton and supervision Of public Offices
shows that during the year 1910
there were 1896 divorce DEGREES
signed in this state. That means
that there was one for every $50 peo-
pie living in Washington, according
to the 1910 census returns.
But if the state makes a bad show
ing, King county is worse for of the
2795 divorces, 1921 were granted in
King county More than one-third
of the total number, although King
county has but approximately one
fourth of the entire population. In
King county the ratio is one divorce
for every 245 people. This includes
men, women and children.
Pierce county makes the best show
ing of the big counties, as there were
only 293 divorces in that county as
compared with 400 in Spokane. The
three big counties with less than one
half the population of the entire
state had total of 1913 divorces, or
more than two-thirds of the entire
number.
The report of the Bureau of In
spection also shows that there were a
total of 29,435 cases of all kinds
tried by the SO superior court judges
which makes more than $50 cases a
year for each one, an average OF
about two cases day for every
working day in the year The larg-
est number of cases were civil action
numbering 1887. There were
also $500 probate cases, 251S Grim
inal cases in which 1899 convictions
were secured.
