Coming Short Course in Web
ster City is Held at
City Hall
LARGE CROWD IS PRESENT,
Prof. A. A. Berger Of State College
at Ames Outlines Work for
Coming Event.
LARGE CROWD IS PRESENT.

The plans are being carried out
and everything Is being arranged to
have the short course in Webster
City started on Jan. Is. 1912. At a
meeting held in the city hall Satur-
day afternoon. Prof. A. A. Berger
OF Ames, outlined the work for the
coming course. He discussed the
different topics that will be taken
up. There was large crowd OF
representative citizens Of Hamilton
county present. which shows that
they are much interested in the
short course that Is planned. Prof.
Berger gave very interesting talk
upon the different topics which he
outlined on chart he had for the
occasion. He merely touched upon
the different topics which are to be
taken up In the coming short course.
The course is simply schooling for
everybody, both young and old.
About hundred of these courses
have been held in Iowa during q
short period of time. The member
ship usually runs from one hundred
fifty to two hundred. Hamilton
county should roll up membership
Of at least two hundred. 1t is for the
benefit of all. There Is especially no
up to date farmer or stock raiser
who can afford to miss 1t.
A program is being prepared and
everything will soon be in readi-
ness. The chairmen of the different
committees have been appointed and
will be announced soon. The price
OF the course is very low, from SO
cents to 81.
Quite number Of the prominent
ladies Of Webster City attended the
meeting Saturday and seemed espec-
ially interested in the domestic sci
ence course. It is plain to be seen
that there Is much interest in the
project. Let everybody put their
shoulder to the wheel and boost
and when It's all over We can
look back with satisfaction upon the
effort put forth. as we'll as the great
benefit the undertaking is bound to
