order gathered at Sioux City on May

months. It would be on the com
munity plan, with school facilities and
an athletic field. There are now
forty-two councils in the state, and al
but three of these are located on one
of the five trunk lines which center
in Mason City, and Mason City is with
in a half hours ride of Clear Lake on
the interurban line. Most of the state
councils have already expressed them
selves in favor of the project.
