For County Home.

Burlington Hawk-Eye: Hamilton
county folk have voted 2 y mills
tax for a county home. And if that
does not suffice, they will give more.
The Iowa county without a modern
home for the old and poor and forsak-
en-, must feel bit lonesome, and
will soon be in a class by itself. Wis.,
itors from other states find much
to commend in Iowa. Time was
when Pennsylvania pointed with
special pride to her county homes,
and claimed that there was nothing
like unto them anywhere in the
land. But the times have changed
and now Pennsylvania sorrowfully
admits that Iowa has her beaten to
FRAGILE in this respect.

Little Girl Bit by Dog.

Gladys Warrington, the seven
year old daughter of Mrs. Essie Te-
walt-Warrington, was bitten by a
dog Friday morning. The little
girl has been spending a part of her
summers vacation with her aunt,
Mrs. Emery Dakin and family, near
Kamrar. She is very fond of pets
and the dogs and cats on the farm
are a delight to her. Yesterday
morning she was playing with one
of the puppies when it bit her on
the left arm, leaving two deep
gashes. Mrs. Dakin brought the lit
tie girl to this city Immediately and
had the wounds properly dressed.
The physician said that had the
wounds not been cauterized, blood
poisoning would very likely be the
result.

Eclipse Aug. 21st.

An eclipse of the sun on August
l21, which will be total in part OF
Europe and Asia, and partial in
America, will be visible in Webster
City. In view of the public interest
in the event Prof. c. G. Albert, head
of the astronomical branch OF the
Smithsonian institute at Washing
ton and recognized authority on solar
phenomena, gives a popular account
of the eclipse.
On August Fl the moon will pass
exactly between the earth and the
sun, and there will be total solar
eclipse 1t will be observed in Amer
lea only at sunrise, and in the
northern states and Canada.
While the moon looks about the
size of the sun, it is very much
smaller and nearer. The sun is
$4,000 miles in diameter and 3d.
100000 miles away, while the moon
is 2,163 miles in diameter and 1885,
900 miles away.
Wherever the solar eclipse Is seen
as total the sky will become nearly
as dark as full moonlight, and few
of the brighter stars and planets
may be seen. The duration of the
totality will be the longest near
Kief, Russia.
Sometimes the moon and sun oc-
cupy such positions that, although
the moon passes directly between
the earth and the sun, the shadow
cone does not quite reach the earth.
Such solar eclipses are called "an-
nular' and are nowhere total eclip-
SEES. In most favorable conditions
total eclipse may last over seven
at station, but such occa-
sions are very rare.
A total eclipse will be visible in
the United States on June s, 1918;
10, 1928, and January

Livliest Road in Country.

If "Tuck' would hurry up and
electrify the Crooked Creek railroad
leading into Webster City we would
be directly connected with the liv-
Hest interurban railroad system in
the entire country. The Fort Dodge,
Des Moines e Southern is under the
same management as the Crooked
Creek and the identification of the
latter would give Webster City the
advantages of being one of the lead
ing stations on the system.
In speaking of the Importance of
the interurban line the Fort Dodge
Chronicle says:
That we have running into this
city the largest little interurban
line in the United States is probab-
ly not known to more than dozen
of Fort Dodge citizens. Assistant
Freight and Passenger Agent Shack
ell, in charge of the local traffic Of
the company, has been looking the
matter up and finds that the Fort
Dodge, Des Moines and Southern has
more cars per mile than any other
line in the United States, having
1850. cars. Beside this he declares
that these same cars and the cars Of
other lines carry more freight per
ten miles over the interurban track
than any other electric line in the
country.
Those big "Fort Dodge Line" cars
continue to be heard from in every
part of the country where they are
standing on side tracks or being
jerked across the country preaching
the gospel of Fort Dodge twenty
four hours a day. While checking
up the cars the other day it was dis
covered that in every state in the
union there was at least one Of these
portable advertising agents glazing
in the midday sun. Even Mexico
had one, but it has it no longer. A
party of insurrectos saw it cleaning
like a ghost in the night and mark
ed it for destruction and it IS no
more. The Mexican Central has
been called to settle.
