Ran With all the zeSt of a
Youth

New Haven, Conn, Jan. 20.-Presi-
dent Taft cut" chapel at Yale this
morning to go to fire. That fire
was in old south middle hall on the
college campus. The president had
tumbled out of bed early and had LETT
mis- hotel to go to the college chapel,
only a block away. This was at just
8 o'clock.
He was passing by Phelps gateway
when he say the heavy smoke beat
ing down into the college campus.
With all the ardor of his college days,
ne joined the rush of undergraduates
who were streaming pellmell toward
the blazing dormitory.
TIe mingled with the crowd of stu
dents standing in a back row and for
twenty minutes watched the firemen
at work until he saw the red helmets
Of the fire fighters poking out of the
upper windows. He then knew the
danger was over and turning about

WILL MEET FONDA
! SATURDAY MIGHT
The Webster City and Fonda High
School Basket Ball Teams to
Play Here.

The fast basket ball team from
Fonda will appear in the city
against the local high school next
Saturday evening in the armory OPP
era house. This is the second con-
test between these two teams this
season. In their first engagement
Fonda came out victors. However,
1t is thought because of the present
good condition of the home squad,
the score board will look different at
the end Of the next game. Dodge,
who did. not enter in the contest
with the Boone team Saturday night,
will probably be in the Fonda game.
His injuries received in the alumni
game are at present almost we'll.
Berggren, the other forward who en-
tered his first game last week, since
the Sioux City contest, will be In
much better shape for this weeks
game. Coach Meyer is making an
attempt to secure a return match
from the Fort Dodge business col
lege team. Although it is not yet
settled. the team of that place may
play in this city some time this
week.

FULL MEMBERSHIP
FOR COMPANY c
Many New Men in Ranks of Local
Militia who Will 60 to
Their First Camp.

Company G, I. N. G., have already
this early in the season secured their
full membership for the annual en-
campment to be held some time in
July or August next.
Most enlistments of men are en-
tered at this time of year in prepar-
alton for the annual camp. As a
general rule all members of the mi
litia are forced to make a general
canvass for rockies" and they are
frequently not all secured until a
few weeks before the time for the
annual maneuvers. For this reason
the company generally have a hard
time getting into condition for the
prize drills, etc. The number of
rockies who will make their first
camp this year is unusually large.
However, owing to the time they
will have for conditioning themsel-
yes, company G should rank we'll
with the other companies. Last year
the local boys succeeded in captur-
ing the prize for the best drilling
by one squad. AS company they
were also we'll up to the front. It is
hoped because of the fact that the
company Is filled at this early date
that they will be able to regain the
company drill prize. The large force
of new men will make the initiation
rather hard this year. There will be
almost as many new men as there
are old ones.
The place for the annual encamp-
ment is not yet definitely settled.

SAYS HE WILL COME

Reported That Fred Howe, the Pho

Home Soon.

There has been more or less talk
recently about the absence of Fred
Howe, the photographer, from the
city. Some of the stories afloat have
lit that Mr.. Howe has left town for
good. Geo. J. Mauch, proprietor of
the building in which Mr.. Howe's
studio is located, says he had a let

in which she says her husband ex-
poets to return to this city the lat

next. a nodce-"Out of town.
has been posted upon the Howe stu
do door for some time. When Mr..
Howe left here it was reported that
his wife and little son were sick
with diphtheria at their old home
in Radcliffe. 1t was latter rumored
that Mr.. Howe was i'll himself. So
far as is known there is no evident
reason for Mr.. Howe leaving this
city. His rent was paid up to the
time he left and apparently he was
doing a good business. 1t is said
that quite number of people have
pictures still unfinished at the Howe
studio, and these are getting more
or less anxious about their photos,
Mrs. Howe and little son are visit
ing relatives in the old home at Rad
cliffe.

.MACKE WINS ROCKY
MOUNTAIN TROPHY
Title Held by Member Of Denver
Athletic Club Falls to Form
er Local Boy.

A. Macke of this city received a
telegram today from his son Arthur
of Salt Lake City, Utah, saying that
he had added to his wrestling laur-
els by annexing the Rocky Mountain
amateur championship Of weller
weights. A short time ago Arthur
entered the Salt Lake City wrest-
ling match and won the champion
ship Of that place, throwing his man
twice in a very short time. Howev-
er, the Rocky Mountain contest Is
much different from that in Salt
Lake City, as it embraces athletes
from all parts Of the west and is
held annually In Denver. At the al
fair this year there We're two humid
red fifty men tentered in this class
alone. It is wrestling contest with
nothing else in the athletic line of
work. OF the men who were enter
ed in the contest many are well
known as first-class wrestlers in the
west, and some have regulations In
all parts of the United States as am
atuer wrestlers. The message receiv-
ed by Mr.. Macke said that the
trophy won by his con has been held
by the Denver athletic association
for the past two years. The contest
in Denver lasted eight days and was
one OF the biggest wrestling meets
ever held in that city. The winning
of this belt entities him to it until
next year, when he will be called
upon to defend It.

7 An Oversight.

1t is said that the finest sand in
the world for concrete work is found
in China This sand was used large
ly in the construction OF the great
Chinese wall, which has withstood
the elements for more than 1000
years 1t is estimated that it could
be laid down in Webster City at
s23.19 cents per bushel. The char
table view is that the city coun-
ell had not heard of this sand when
| it prepared. the Notices of Neces-
sity" for concrete paving in Webster
City. Take Chinese sand and Ban
gor granite a paving that would
last a thousand years might be Sc
cured and it wouldn't cost to exceed
fifty dollars per square yard.
But as the cost cuts no figure, so
long as a first-class job is secured,
the council might amend its notices
before it is everlastingly too late. An
ordinary concrete pavement made of
Boone river sand and gravel and
Portland cement would not last to
exceed so or rs years and would
cost perhaps 81 per square yard.
Hence it can be demonstrated to the
council and others not too dense
that the $50 per yard pavement
would be "the cheapest in the long
/ run" H

TO ENLARGE BAKERY
AND ice CREAM PLANT
Robson Baking Company Need More
Room-To Enlarge Capacity
\ Of Plant.

Some of the new machinery to be
installed by the Robson Baking
Company is on the road from the
manufacturers. This enlargement OF
their capacity has been in consider
alton for some time. Owing to the
fact that last season their capacity
for the manufacture OF ice cream
was too small to supply their pat
|rons they will install an entirely
new plant of this kind.
The new place will have a capac-
lily of almost three times that OF
their present place. In addition to
this they will purchase a new oven
for their bakery. AS they have not
sufficient room for the new improve
ment they will probably locate the
ice cream factory and bakery in an
other building. Frank Robson left
today for Des Moines, where he will
look over further equipment not al
ready purchased. When the new
bakery is in working order the old
oven that has been used by the Rob-
ison company since launching in
business in this city will be used for
their pastry baking. The new and
larger oven will be used for their
otherl baking. According to their
books they have handled almost four
times as much of the product of
their ice cream factory this winter
as they did last winter.
A new location for their factory
has not yet been secured and most
of the new equipment will be placed

ECHOES FROM THE
LOCAL HIGH SCHOOL
Prof. Spencer Of Grinnell Talks
Dutch" Measles and
>~, Other Matters. II

Prof. E. B. T. Spencer of Grinnell
college led the devotional exercises
in the high school yesterday morn
ing, after which he gave very
pleasant talk to the young people:
Mr.. Spencer's theory of education is
summed up in the idea of the enjoy
ment and thorough use of all ones
talents The illustrations which he
used were very aptly put, and ought
to sink deeply into the minds of his
hearers. He also gave a most de-
lightful talk to the pupils of the
Virgil and Cicero classes upon Rome,
where his work has been for some
years past. We hope to have Mr..
Spencer return in the future, as his
visit was both profitable and pleas
ant. ,. ,~- ~
The prevalence of Dutch"
measles in our midst has created sad
havoc in our ranks. j No serious re-
suits have been reported, but many,
absences have been caused and the
victims returning bear the marks Of
redeemed eyes and spotted cuticlel
which are self explanatory.
Prof Parish has charge of the
work in civics. For some years it
has been impossible to get in time
for work in this branch. This SEM
ester a large class has been started
and the members are learning the
why's and wherefores of some Of the
simple political machinery, local and
national.
Miss Malow Johnston of the class

for the high school.

A Good Yield,

The half section Of land four and
a half miles southeast of Blairsburg,
belonging to J. w. and w. w.
Pearce, produced very profitable
crop last year. There were nearly
40 acres in corn on the place and
after being shelled it weighed out a
little better than 81 bushels to the
acre. The oat crop was also good.
The entire 800 acres brought the
Pearces few cents less than IS per
acre. They rented on shares.
