COBB SIGNS AGAIN.
Another Fed Bubble Burst When IT,
Stays With Detroit.

Detroit, Aug. 12.@Tyrus Cobb, prize
center fielder of the Detroit American
league team, has set at rest reports
that he intended jumping to the Fed
eral league by signing a contract to
play three more years with the Tigers.
The contract does not contain the ten
day clause. Neither does it carry an
increase in his salary, which is said
to be $4,000 year.
The contract under which Cobb is
playing contains the ten-day clause,
but it will expire at the end of the
present season. When Cobb COM
pletes the three seasons for which he
has just signed, he will have played
thirteen years with Detroit.

the board of supervisors contem-
plate increasing valuations in order
to make the two and one-half mills
create a fund above the estimated
amount Of $22,500. Of course the
temptation to do so will be present,
but the prize is hardly sufficient to
induce the board to yield. 1t was
different in the capitol extension
proposition. In that case the in
crease in valuations increased the
appropriations for a stipulated pur-
pose several millions of dollars. Des
Moines was quick to see the point
and the executive council "felT
readily.
However, the improvement which
the county board is asking authority
to make is one that is badly needed
and the people of the county ought
to vote the tax. If the board then
proceeds as the executive council did
it can be dealt with as the SER
iousness of the offense may appear
to demand.

Wants TO GIVE
away A BIG sum
Judge Kamrar Will Hear the Peti-
ton of L. S. Coffin Monday
of Next Week.

Fort Dodge Messenger: L. S. Cof-
fin today filed an application in the
| district court for permit to sell some
real estate, the proceeds to go to the
support of relatives he names in the
application. A total Of $20,500 he
desires to realize for the fulfllment
of his plans. Judge J. L. Kamrar
will hear any arguments on the ap-
plication Monday at Webster City.
For a niece in Boston he desires
to contribute $1,000 in installments
for her support. An invalid niece
in Buffalo will receive $4,000 if the
application is granted. To one cous-
in who is taking care of an aged sis
ter he wants to send $1,000 and to
a nephew in Massachusetts who is
supporting an invalid sister he
wants to send $1,000. To the wife
of an invalid nephew in Denver he
wants to give $1,000.
Mr.. Coffin also mentions his gift
of $4,000 to the Y. w. c. A. and
says that he wants to be able to pay
it in full when the association de-
sires it. He also mentions his re-
cent pledge of $500 to aid in secur-
ing a swimming pool. He also says
he wants to contribute $1,000 to the
education of each of three grand
children living near this city.

county. Some plans for the settin g
out of shrubs and flowers are under
way, but are not yet completed.
Those who are interested in the
placing of shrubs and plants in our
home town will hope that the park
commissioners will use our natural
shrubs, wherever possible. Wild
plum and crabapp!e for early bloom
ing, and sumac for late showing.
Where enough of the soil of the
transplanted tree is taken up with it
there is no danger of the shrub dy-
ing. Wild vines and shrubs are u.s.
ed effectively from one year to the
other in the state and some of them
make a wonderful growth. If shrubs
are to be placed let them be largely
Iowa products. ....

ELLSWORTH CHORAL
CONCERT ENJOYED
Chorus Of Forty-Five Mixed Voices
Draws Large and Appreciative
Audience.

The Ellsworth College Chora
club Of Iowa Falls at the Congrega'
tional church Friday night drew
a large audience of interested peo
pie, and the club gave an artistic
and very enjoyable concert. Their
voices blend we'll, their attack is
good, and their climaxes are well
taken. Prof. A. e. Bullock, who is
so well and favorably known to mus.
ical people in this city, is the di-
rector and has surely accomplished
much with this ensemble of voices
Especially splendid work was shown
in the opening and closing numbers
"Song of the Viking s," and "Sold.
ier's Chorus" from Faust; also
Drink to Me Only With Thine
Eyes" which was a sweet song, very
sweetly sung. More real voice vol
ume was shown in "With Sheathed
Swords" than perhaps any other
NUMBER on the program.
The soloists were especially well
received, "The Prologue" from the
opera Pagliacci, a baritone solo by
Mr.. Cowles, demonstrating his I'M
usual ability. Miss Stark has a voice
of great depth and power and is WIS.,
IDLY improving from one year to the
other. She is always a favorite with
Webster City audiences. Miss Mar
so, who is an instructor on the vio-
lin in Ellsworth College of Music,
was we'll received and elected sew
eral encores. The pianists, the
Misses Elliott, Fraser and Mrs. Bull
lock, ably assisted Prof. Bullock in
accompaniment. aside from contrib
uting several fine solos to the even
ing's program.
On the whole the Ellsworth Choir
al club greatly pleased their audi
ence and will receive a warm well
come in this city should they choose
to come again.

Specific Sum Should be Asked.

Eds. Freeman-Tribune: The prop
osition to levy two and one-half
mills tax on all taxable property in
Hamilton county for a poor farm
home building, will probably be de-
feated, as it looks to the farmer as
a scheme whereby the assessment
can be raised to bring about the de-
sired amount, as in the case of Gov.
Clarke and capitol grounds extern
sion. The governor had all farm
lands in the state raised on an av-
erage of about Al per cent and all
city properties 10 per cent, which
will net from 100000 to $4,000
600 more to eXpend on the capitol
grounds extension. Why don't the
ounty supervisors ask for a
lump sum of $4,000 or $4,000?
Which proposition the writer would
heartily support, but will help de-
feat the 2.5 mill proposition, as
s22,500.O0 is not enough to build
