| fall of the levers In a safe or vault by
his sense of touch, thus being able to
open it regardless OF his ignorance OF
the combinations. The first act finds
this trained criminal in Sing Sing
prison, where fortunate train of cir
cumstances wins for him the guberna-
torial pardon, and also puts him on
the straight road to reform. Through
the kindness of influential friends
whom he has been able to benefit, this
former bank looter is given a respon-
sible position in national bank.
There, by honest and efficient service,
he soon works his way near the top
Of the ladder, when child, having ac-
cidentally been shut in a new vault,
the combination of which has not yet
been determined, he is forced to
choose between a life and his secret.
The play is founded on short story

trieved Reformation" 1t is written in
the straightforward manner Of all

When Wild Winds Blow.

Most of us are apt to look on storm
az simply strong wind blowing
straight from one place to another
1t is not so at all, for storm wind
always blows in a curve and a storm
is not really Il wind. but whole wheel
of winds with curving spokes. These
curving spokes represent the various
winds all blowing toward the hub
This hub is called the eye of the
storm. 1t is the spot at which the
barometer is lowest. On the rim Of the
wheel the barometer is high. and the
nearer the hub the lower is the BARON
eter This wheel of winds is usually
several hundred miles across.

And it may be Remarked

That the committee of the coun-
Gil appointed for the purpose of Sc
lecting site for the fire team and
equipment is not having an easy
task. Many good locations have
been offered, but prices are not en-
tirely satisfactory.
That work on the new building
for the electric plant is moving
along nicely and the structure is as
Stunning quite large proportions. It
will make a fine home for the new
plant.
That vast majority of the people
of Webster City are hoping that the
new high school will be erected up
on the site OF the present city pow
er house. One thing favorable to
that location is that a heating plant
could be established there with 3
minimum expense, as the present
steam conductors could be used.
Quite an item.
That corn throughout Hamilton
county is growing like weed. The
crop promises to be good. Small
grain and hay Is much better here
than in many sections Of the state.
That the people OF Webster City
are realizing more fully every day
that they live in one OF the best
towns of $500 people in the west.
No town Of its size in Iowa has
made more substantial progress in
the past two years. Confidence in
the future of the city has taken pos
session Of its inhabitants-an essen
tial necessary for prosperous and
growing community.
That there are more new residen-
ces going up in Webster City than
at any time in many years, and they
are Of good quality.
That "Kearnie's" ball team Is
making a record to be proud OF.
That work is progressing nicely
on the building for the new spade
factory.
That when Webster City gets its
new electric plant in operation it
will be in position to offer induce
ments to factories in the form OF
cheap power, and that is a factory
puller OF no mean proportions. With
this advantage and the other natur-
al advantages OF the town, We ought
to have 10000 population by the
time the state census Is taken In
1915. Let everybody pull in that
direction.

it should be used with great moder-

Give Iowa the Preference.

Algona Advance: Assistant Sec
rotary A. r. Corey of the Iowa State
Fair was member of the party of
Des Moines boosters that toured
the Rock Island railroad. One of the
papers along the route quotes him In
reference to the we'll known fact
that many northern Iowans attend
Minnesota's state fair every year IN
preference to our own. This they
dc, according to Mr.. Corey, in
spite Of the fact that Iowa's big
show is a far better agricultural fair
than Minnesota's. He urges that
this year, all towans ought to pat
ronize their own fair. AS an in
ducement he guarantees an exhibit
that from an agricultural standpoint
will exceed that which can be Of
fered to the public in any other
state, province, or nation in tho
world
1t is to be hoped that what Mr..
Corey says will sink in where it will
do the most good. A good many
Kossuth county people, for example,
should hearken to It. More Kossuth
folks go every year to the Mime
sofa fair than to Iowa's. Yet 1t is
undeniable that in every way, save
possibly in the incidental matter Of
frivolous amusements. Minnesota 8
fair is unable to hold a candle to
Iowa's Let us prove the truth o!
that assertion this season by sub
stituting our own state fair for that
Of our neighbor on the north. Let
las give Iowa the preference for once
and see whether or not 1t Is neccs-
sary to go beyond the borders OF our
own commonwealth to visit the big
gest and best agricultural show that
this old earth ever laid eyes on.
