1T seems that Johnson, who ar

to the mayor and that official gave
the man permission to talk on the
street but neglected to give him a
written permit. a great crowd gath

ner of Secon and Main. The crowd
got Sc big that it was blocking the
traffic on Second street and attract

Acting i'm accordance with his duty
the chief asked the speaker for his
permit as required by the city ordi-

IOWA YEARLY MEETING
Friends of Iowa to Celebrate Golden
Anniversary Sept. S.

An event of much significance
to Iowa history, and to the
history of the middle west, is
to occur September at Oskaloo
sa. This will be the celebration OF
the fiftieth anniversary of the found
ing of Iowa yearly meeting OF
Friends. At the same time will also
| occur the dedication of the new Iowa
yearly meeting house which has been
erected during the past year.
Fifty years ago Iowa yearly meet
ing was established. being "set up
to use Quaker phraseology, by Indi'
ana yearly meeting. The founding OF
new yearly meeting is an event OF
much purport among Friends. The
occasion Is always attended by dele
gates from other yearly meetings. So
at the establishing of Iowa yearly
meeting fifty years ago there were
representatives from London and
Dublin yearly meetings. At the time
Iowa yearly meeting was established
il was the farthest west of any of
the American yearly meetings. Iowa
at that time was prairie state and
was really on the frontier. Travel
ing even from Indiana to Iowa at
that date was no easy matter.
At the present time there are
twelve yearly meetings in the United
States.
OskaIoosa First Home.
A few years after the establish
ment of Iowa yearly meeting the ne
cessity for a meeting house became
apparent. A tract of land lying north
OF Oskaloosa was purchased and a
large two story brick building erect
ed. This has served as the home of
Iowa yearly meetings until now. Re-
Gently the NJ. G. ST. l.. has extended
its switch yards to the yearly meet
ing property. The noise from en-
CINE and moving trains has rendered
the old property unfit for use, conse-
quently IL was necessary to aban-
don 1t and seek a location elsewhere.
Not far distant from the yearly meet
ing home is located Penn college, a
college supported and maintained by
Iowa Friends. They have a splendid
campus OF ten acres, athletic field of
five acres, and a tract of land forty
nine acres adjoining the campus. The
building site for the new meeting
house was secured at the corner Of
C street and College avenue, upon
which during the past year has been
erected mode-n structure at cost
upward OF $4,000. Tits building is
OF colonial architecture. and is con-
structed for the purpose OF worship

BY finding the ball for a total of
sixteen hits Sunday afternoon the
Blues defeated the Blyth bunch by
the score of to g. The locals made
the trip to Blyth by autos and after
good fast riding they got out and
played the game in a fine maner in
the hitting, but they committed some
errors in fielding. H. Siders pulled
some good ones down, but could not
hold them and the score sheet shows
three erors against the second base
man. Smoky Burnham was right on
the job and had a busy day, grabbing
down three flies. In the fifth Burn
ham ran back and speared long one
off w. Hunts bat and by a perfect
throw from deep center to first base
he cut out Robinson before he could
get back. Arch Carr played one of
the best games of his life. Beside
helping greatly in the rally for runs
in the ninth he fielded the right cor
ner in remarkable fashion. In the
second inning j. Hunt knocked what
seemed a sure hit TO right field, but
Arch came In on it and taking the
ball on the first bounce ne threw the
runner out at first. " Siders and Nc
Kean were the batteries for the
Blues, while the star battery of the
Blyth bunch. Hunt and Hunt, worked
against them. The game looked like
an extra inning affair at the start OF
the ninth, but the Blues came up
strong and put two around on a cou-
pie OF hits. Blyth looked dangerous
in their half. but they were cut off

Only a short distance from the
church is located a large auditorium
for the accommodation of vast crowds
of people who attend the yearly
meeting occasions. This structure is

| diameter and will seat comfortably

The Iranspianting of Iowa yearly
meeting from the old to the new
home is an event of much more thar
ordinary significance to the Friends
church in the middle west. 1t will
without doubt be the beginning of a
new era of church activity. During
the past three years Iowa Quakerism
has manifested much vitality. Three
significant things indicate this. First
the raising of $125,000 additional en-,
dowment for Penn college, all OF
which was given by the immediate
friends of the institution, not dol
lar of it coming from philanthropiC
sources outside the immediate sup,
porters of the college. Second, the
erection of the new yearly meeting
house as described above. Third, the
erection of a splendid new church
building in the city of Des Moines at
a cost of $4,000. Aside from these
larger items there are many others
which, so far as the community in
which they have transpired is con,
IS
these. One illustration will serve.
The old community of Salem, Iowa,
where Friends first located west of
the Mississippi river, had the great
misfortune to lose its meeting house
by fire. While this seemed to be a
great loss, it has turned out to be a
blessing in disguise. TIE old meet
ing house was located outside the
town limits and was difficult of ac-
cess. Since it was burned new and
modern structure has been erected,
we'll located in the center of the
town. There are many other happen
ings which demonstrate the increas-
ed vitality and new life to Quakerism
