How the people of such a small
community managed to entertain
and feed such a large crowd is a
mystery to us. The entertain
ment would nave done credit to
places as large as Sinner or Yoa-
kun, but Dryer is noted for pull
ing off affairs of that kind and
they understand exactly how it
ought to be done. The smell of
the barbeoued meats was appe-
thing as was also the taste. The
supply of bread, pickles and cof-
fee was also on hand and the
walters did their best to supply
the wants Of the large crowd.
The crowd was so large it was
impossible to get around among
them. The following attended

"But the boy can do an immense

good citizen in the future; and he
can only do this II he associates
himself with other boys. Let tie
Boy Scouts see to it that the best
use is made Of the parks and play
grounds in their villages and home
towns. A gang of toughs may make
a playground impossible; and If the
Boy Scouts in the neighborhood Of
that particular playground are At
for their work, they will show that
they won't permit any such gang OF
toughs to have its way. Moreover,
let the Boy Scouts take the lead in
seeing that the parks and play
grounds are turned to really good
account. I hope, by the way, that
one of the prime teachings among
the Boy Scouts will be the teaching
against vandalism. Let it be a
point Of honor to protect birds, trees

country more beautiful and not
more ugly, because we have lived

The Local Crops.

The corn crop throughout Hamil-
ton county is the most varying,
probably, in the history of the state.
In some fields the yield will be up
to the average, in others a half CROP
will be produced, in still others less
than ten bushels to the acre will be
gathered And it is noticeable that
there is large difference in the
quality of the crop, even in one
field. Parts Of a field will be good,
while other portions are poor, both
in yield and quality. One farmer
said to the Freeman-Tribune Satur-
day that he has corn in his field
that would go fifty or sixty bushels
to the acre, while in other parts of
the field, and far removed, the yield
would not exceed twenty bushels to
the acre. 1t is the judgment Of
some OF the most observing farmers
that an average of from twenty to
thirty bushels to the acre will be all
that Hamilton county can expect
this year. Last nights rain will
do considerable good to the late
ears, but it came too late to be of
great benefit.
Oats are turning out fairly we'll,
the yield running all the way from
twenty to fifty bushels to the acre,
while winter wheat is reported at
from twenty to thirty bushels.
Early potatoes are very light, but
it is thought late potatoes will be
a fairly good crop.

METHODIST CONFER.
ENCE MEETS SOON
Who Will Succeed Presiding Elder
McBurney local Church
, interested. ',a..

AS the annual Methodist Epfsco-
pal conference will soon meet Mt
Sioux City, considerable interest is
manifested as to who will succeed
Rev. D. A. McBurney, superintend-
ent of the Fort Dodge district, who
is now closing very successful six
year term. Mr.. McBurney is with
out question one of the strongest
district superintendent in the
Northwest Iowa Conference. BY his
wise leadership the church work has
been kept we'll up with that of 9TH
er districts, and he will leave his
work with the good will and best
wishes Of both ministers and the
church membership in general.
Rev. w. T. Mcdonald of Storm
Lake would be very worthy Sue
cessor and doubtless prove good
man for the place. We understand
that at the camp meeting at Fort
Dodge Friday, he received very
complimentary vote, which was TAX
en- to bring out the wishes of minis
tiers and laymen present.
DR.. Mcdonald, before coming to
Storm Lake, was for number OF
years pastor of Grace church, Sioux
City. This is one Of the strong
Methodist churches in the North
west Iowa Conference, being near
Morningside College. Those who
know DR.. Mcdonald believe him to
be deeply spiritual, possessing ex-
ecutive ability and wide experience
all of which are essential to the
making of a we'll rounded district
AS far as the members OF the To-
cal church are concerned, they are
the return OF their popu-
lar pastor, Rev. C. H. Kamphoefner.
for another year at least. 1t Is de-
sired that he complete the work,
now we'll under way, Of building
the new church edifice. Thus far in
this undertaking he has shown
marked ability and will have much
TO do, after he returns from his va
cation, during the coming months.

TEAM CRASHES INTO A TREE

Mrs. w. O. Rauworth, Miss Ellen
Houskins and Miss Tressa Meyers
are confined to their beds today
with painful and serious wounds
victims of runaway accident
which occurred Saturday afternoon
The list of injured includes two
others-Mrs. Ella Tully and Mrs
Rauworth's little daughter, who
were not so badly hurt as the three
ladies first mentioned.
Miss Meyers will probably be dis
figured for life as result of the
catastrophe. She was badly cut
about the face and head with brok-
en- glass, besides being badly bruis-
ed. Miss Houskins received a badly
lacerated arm, deep cash in the
head and many bruises and scratch
es of minor nature. Mrs. Rau-
worth was terribly bruised and
shaken up and sustained numerous
cuts about the arms and fody. Her
little daughter received bad bunp
on the head, and Mrs. Tully was
badly stunned for a time, besides
receiving numerous scratches. The
ladies consider their escape from
death as most fortunate, as do all
who witnessed the runaway.
The four ladies and little girl
had started to the country in a
closed carriage, which they had en-
gagged at the Filloon livery barn.
1t had semi-circular glass front,
one seat being enclosed and the 9TH
err open.
Mrs. Rauworth was driving and
the team became frightened at
and manageable almost
from the start at her residence on
Bank street, and finally ended by
dashing madly north on Seneca
street and crashing into tree over
in the yards of the Webster City
Brick & Tile Company.
Many people were on the street
at the time of the runaway, but the
horses were going at such break
neck speed, that no one had nerve
enough to attempt to stop hem.
Miss Houskins managed to get the
door open as the team pass
I'd north on Seneca street and jump
I'd, sustaining injuries from her i'm.
pact with the pavement. The other
aides remained in the carriage till
he team crashed into large tree
n the tile yard. They were hurled
quite a distance and landed near a

PARTY OF AUTOIsTs
HAVE DRIVE IN MUD
Two Webster City Girls Have
Unique Auto Ride Finish in
Farm Wagon.

Two young ladies of this city
we'll not mention any names
could deliver good lecture today
on "The Value of Mud Baths as q
Beauty Restorer," If they We're so
disposed. At least that is the way
they put it when they arrived home
yesterday in a farm wagon,
the ending of an automobile ride
they had started out on the evening
before.
The two young ladies referred to
left Webster City about o'clock
Sunday evening in Ford auto
with LSe Parker and Glenn Smith
of Eagle Grove, who had been
spending the day here with the girls
and suggested a drive to the Gyp-
sum City and return as fitting end
for very pleasurable day.
The girls were pleased with ne
suggestion and the drive to Fort
Dodge was made without mishap.
However, the party had fingered in
Fort Dodge but short time, when
it began to sprinkle rain. The boys
thought they could make the return
drive by running for it and accord
ingly put on high speed and start
ed out. BY the time they had
reached Duncombe, 1t was raining
"pitchforks' and the occupants of
the car were soaked with the rain.
BY the time the ]. B. Stark farm
home, near Duncombe, was reach
ed. the car had reached its limit,
both as to going through the mud
and it's supply of gasoline, and the
party had to stay all night at the
Stark residence.
Next morning Mr.. Stark brought
the girls home in a big farm wagon.
The girls enjoyed the ride very
much, but they never before saw SO
much mud, they said, and they
looked like it-as they had plenty
Of it splashed over them. However.

Guy Lane, farmer residing near
Mason City, is something of genius
in the way of getting up handy ap-
pliances. He has installed COM
plete electric lighting system for
his country home, utilizing the pow
er to run numerous other machines
of the farm, such as cream separa-
tors, grinders, etc. His latest de-
vice is the connecting of his mail
box by electric wire to an electric
bell in the house, so that when the
mail man opens it, he connects the
circuit, thus ringing the bell. AS
the house is some distance from the
road, this means quite saving in
steps.
