OFF FOR DIES MONIES
Thirty-five Oskaloosa Boosters Go
in Automobiles.

Seven automobiles carrying about
thirty-five Oskaloosa boosters went to
Des Moines this morning. The prime
object of the journey was to inspect
the swimming pool in the Y. M. C. A.
building in Des Moines and start a
campaign for like institution here
Some of the autos left as early as
away at $50. A feature of the days
program will be a game of volley ball
between the Oskaloosa Y. NJ C. A.
and the Des Moines association. The
automobiles were all gaily decorated
for the occasion and we'll labeled
with the name of Oskaloosa
Incidentally the crowd will get in
a cheer or two for Judge Byron w.
Preston of this city, who Is a candi-
date for the nomination for Supreme
Judge.
OF the days program, the Register
and Leader this morning says:
The gymnasium and swimming
pool in the new building of the Des
Moines Y. M. C. A., which were OPP
ened for use yesterday for the first
time, will be inspected today by par
ty of prominent business men from
the Oskaloosa Y. NJ. C. A., who are
coming here in automobiles for that
purpose.

swimming pool as the Oskaloosa in
stituton is considering the advisable
ity of installing a similar one in it's
building.
"The Oskaloosa autoists probably
will arrive in Des Moines at 1890
o'clock and will form procession
from the capitol grounds through the
business districts on each side of the
river

good showing against the local
stars, of whom the most prominent
are the Rev. Finis ldleman, II. r.
Howell, Tony Peterson and the Rev.
Rowland Hanson, the Oskaloosa con-
tingent will play basket ball in the
evening against picked five from
the senior class.

director, conducted the first class in
the new gymnasium yesterday noon.
The new lockers, of which there are
200 In the mems and seniors de-
partment and 500 in the boys depart
ment, are being assigned rapidly.
THE new swimming pool is the
most popular feature in the building
during the hot weather, although the
pool and billiard tables and the three
bowling alleys, which were opened TO
the members week ago, have proved
popular with large number of men
and boys. These last named features
are open daily except Sunday from

a record run to the scene. The origin
of the fire is not known. A sixty gal

Stole Fine Touring Car.

Monticello reports that crooks
broke into garage there and got
away with handsome touring car.
A reward of 5000 has been offered for
the capture of the thieves and the
return OF the car. This business is
sure to come. 1t could not be other
wise. Arrangements must have been
made under which 1t will be possible
to dispose OF stolen cars. As long as
the crooks could not turn the cars
into cash, there was little temptation

Two queens of England had a ''bar-
maid" for grandmother. The story
runs thus: A Westminster barmaid
married her master. a publican. After
his death she found a second husband
in Mr.. Hyde. a lawyer. who in later
years became lord chancellor and
Earl Of Clarendon. A daughter Of this
union married the Duke Of York and

Many good piece Of roast beef is
practically spoiled so far as juiciness
and toothsomeness go by not starting
ii in hot oven. The reason for this is
that the juices largely escape into the
pan before the outside of the meat is
scared. The same principle applies to
boiling piece of beef that is not in
tended for soup stock. as boiling water
cooks the outside quickly and causes
the meat to retain its juices.

legend, Five cents "a pound" This

Some grocers are beginning to see
the wisdom of classifying the eggs they
sell at retail, marking those strictly
fresh that are such and labelling as
storage eggs those that have been kept
for a considerable time. This is sim
pie honesty to the consumer, enabling
him TO know what he Is getting and
to get just what he pays for. while it
recognizes the superior value Of fresh
eggs and enables the producer to real
ize for them what they are fairly
worth.
