CRESTON DISTRICT
HEADQUARTERS

Creston, Oct. 19.-In districting the
state the Greater Iowa association
makes Creston headquarters for the
twenty-ninth district, composed of
the counties of Union, Clarke and
Adair The state association is or
ganized for the purpose of advertis-
ing Iowa; to bring to the attention of
the public the many good things in
this state, it's vast and varied re-
sources, and publish facts in general
about the Hawkeye state.
Headquarters have been located at
Clinton, and from there an aggressive
advertising campaign is being carried
on The press of Iowa is cooperating
with the association, and news serv-
ice is maintained that is proving ad-
vantageous to our own state. That
the campaign may be systematic the
state has been divided into districts,
and in the designation of district
headquarters Creston gets the plum
in the twenty-ninth district. This
action of the state association marks
Creston little palmer on the map
and helps to direct attention to this
city.

tee in charge of arrangements for the
fortieth annual encampment of the
Iowa G. A. R. which was held in Bur
lington, June 1918. upon settling up
it's affairs, found balance in hand
of s3453S. Believing it would please
the Grand Army men of Iowa, who
know through bitter experience the
suffering and hardship which war en-
tails, the committee has sent this bal
ance to Miss Mabel Boardman, presi-
dent of the Red Cross for the United
States, for use in relieving the suffer
ing now devastating Europe.
Thus ends an enterprise which was
of great instruction to the citizens of
Burlington, and of pleasure to all the
friends from the outside who attended
the reunion.

GREAT SHOWING
MADE BY IOWA J..
HAWkEYES PLAY FINE GAME
AGAINST CHlCAGO-FOOTBALL
IN IOWA is STRONG.

Des Moines, Oct. 19.-The great
showing of the State University in it's
meeting with the Chicago Uniyercity
team and the brilliant game in which
Kansas swamped Drake were the fea-
lures Of Iowa football Saturday. the
Hawkeyes made an unexpected STAND
against Chicago. The game was the
first close affair the Chicago team has
had since it's battle with Purdue year
ago. The game was not spectacular and
was marred by poor handling Of punts
by both teams.
brakes defeat by Kansas was bat
tie to be remembered for years KAN
sas brought the heaviest team that
ever played in the stadium. 1t out
weighed Drake more than twenty-five
pounds to the man.
The standing of the teams in the
Iowa conference also was somewhat
clarified during the week. Grinnell re-
tanned it's hope of first place by defeat
ing Highland. -Four teams still remain
indicated, Ellsworth, Coe, Leander
Clarke, and Cornell, and it promises to
be hot fight for the honors.
The result OF high school games Sat-
urday did much to clear the state cham
pionship situation. Clinton and Daven-
port dominate in the eastern part Of
the state with Cedar Rapids close up.
The central part is held by East and
West High with Ames as possible
dope spiller. Sioux City seems to be in
a class by itself with Oskaloosa and
Marshalltown as strong contenders.
The high school championship will be
fairly definitely settled within week
or so. Clinton and Davenport meet in
two weeks while West High meets East
Des Moines, Ames and Clinton. East
High meets Sioux City and West Des
Moines and the result of these games
should give a definite line on the
strongest teams. Ames high school is
occupying strong position and is a
strong contender for the title.

GATHERING DATA
GIVING The COST
Joint Committee Will Show
Voters What Bridge and
Jail Bonds Involve.
SPEAKERS FOR ALL RALLIES
Will Also Ask That Poll Workers Re-
mind Voters So That There May
Be a Full Expression.

The first gun in the campaign inaug-
urated by the joint committee working
for the success of the bridge and bond
proposition at the coming election was
fred last night, when S. W. Searle,
speaking for that organization, made
an appeal at the republican rally at
the Family theatre. Mr.. Searle covered
the ground which has been gone over
before in club meetings and through
the columns of the newspapers. He
pointed the need which the county
has for all three improvements.
Referring to the jail, Mr.. Searle de-
clared that the present structure, built
in 1854, with but 10 cells, is such as no
civilized community should tolerate as
a place of involuntary confinement for
man or beast. II is overcrowded all the
time and offers no chance for the seq
regation of prisoners. the innocent and
the first offenders being thrown in
contact with hardened criminals and
the object of Imprisonment thus de
feated.

and drain their land and a road and
dyke will be built at the same time,
with the expense for the highway thus
virtually taken care of without digging
into road funds.
Committee Has Meeting.
Mr.. Searle's talk followed a meeting
Of the joint committee held at the
Rock Island club. Committees reported
at this session that arrangements nad
been made to secure the presentation
of the bond questions at the rallies of
all political parties in this end of the
county; the Moline workers taking
care of the upper end townships
Arrangements have been made to
furnish these speakers with exact data
showing the cost of the improvements
to the county as whole and to the in
dividual property owner. 1t will be
shown that the expense per capita will
be so small that no one can consistent
ly oppose the improvements for this
reason.
1t is the intention of the joint COM
mittee to ask that the poll workers of
all parties be instructed to remind vot-
ers on election day so that there may
be full expression on the subject.

paign, and they constituted broken,
disorganized and disheartened force.
This condition has not changed, and
there does not appear to be any pros
pect of revival of interest in the re-
publican campaign.
All Interest in Sherman.
The only thing that the average re-
publican seems to be interested in at
this time is that Sherman shall secure
a larger vote than Robins, and they
will be satisfied if they succeed in
placing Sherman ahead of Robins in
the race. The progressives, on the 9TH
er hand. being noyices in politics, Wis
ionaries and dreamers, appear TO be in
dulging in pipe dreams, which show to
them a prospect of holding the vote
given Roosevelt in 1912. They have
nothing on which to base this hope ex-
cept the hope itself, and that is suffi-
Gent for them.
A careful analysis of the conditions
in this campaign leads to the certain
that the entire democratic
ticket from Roger c. Sullivan down
has an assurance of success at the
polls on November 3.

not come out in the republican pri-
mary was because the republicans
have but little hope of carrying their
counties, even for their county offices,
while the democrats in hitherto
strongly republican counties feel con-
fident of the election of their tickets.
and there was a strong rivalry for the
democratic nominations. General apa-
