He Got the Cheapest.

Old Hiram Pinchon was a born
trader, and a penny pincher besides.
He was never willing to pay the price
of anything he wanted. and ali the
shopkeepers at the village dreaded to
see him enter their stores. One day
he did little trading at Nelson's shoe
store. He tried on a dozen pairs of
boots, but could find nothing that was
not too expensive. Then he guessed
he would get pair of ruhbers. He
rejected pair that cost a dollar
and another that cost Go cents. Final
ly the clerk brought him a pair for so
cents. They seemed to fit well enough,
but Hiram was stIll dissatisfied

Child Reared by Wild Creatures.

A female Mowgli has been discov-
cred in the hill resort of Mani Tai or
United Provinces, India, where wild
looking creature. evidently a female
child. since there are vaccination
marks on both of her arms, has been
discovered in the jungle. Exposure
has caused a thick growth Of hair
down each side of the face and spine,
which gives her the appearance OF a
monkey. She evidently has always
walked upright, but her sitting posture
is that of monkey, as are all her &C.
tons. She is. of course, unable to
talk. The indications are that she
was abandoned in infancy and that
monkeys were her foster parents. The
natives In the bazaar, however, de-
clare that the child was reared by
bears.

LAST 1914 MEETING
MUNICIPAL COUNCIL
CITIZENS NORTH OF VOlUSlA
WANT NIGHT WATCHMAN.
COMPLAINT ABOUT "BAllY-
HooING"-cOMMISSION GOVT.

The last regular meeting for 1914 OF
the Daytona city council was held on
Monday night at the city hall. with
President Henry Schmidt, Councilman
Stevens, O,Brien, Smith and klock,
Mayor II. T. Titus and City Clerk Por-
ter present.
Through it's secretary, Benford Dea-
con. the board of trade directed at
tention to the bad condition or the
Volusia avenue roadway. The matter
was referred to the street committee,
Citizens in that area of the city be
tween the north side of Volusia ave-
nue. and the north side of Fairview and
from Beach street to the west side OF
Ridgewood avenue presented a peti-
ton asking that Jesse b. Creech be
designated as night Waterman for that
section from January LIST to April LIST.
The signers of the petition agreed to
nay $4,000 per month of the expense
thus involved. Mayor Titus was given
authority to act in the matter, and 1t
is likely that the Waterman will be
put on.
Permission was granted Mccoy Bros.
to construct a dock at the foot Of Mag
nolia avenue.
Mayor Titus informed the council
that he had recently received numer-
GUS complaints about advertisers
.'ballyhooing' through megaphones on
the streets, and asked for special au-
thority to deal with the complaints.
He was referred to the ordinance re-
lating to the abatement of nuisances.
Eleven claims against the city
amounting to $1,46S.57 were approved
and ordered paid.
In accordance with previous ar
rangement, Theodore Hofstatter APP
peared in behalf of the Daytona board
of trade to discuss the commission
form of government for municipali-
ties. a subject which has claimed more
or less local attention for some time.
Mr.. Hofstatter was given the respect
full and attentive hearing he deserved.
BY his lucid remarks and thorough
conyersance with his subject the
speaker demonstrated that he has
given the commission-governm
matter most painstaking investiga-
ton, and many of his auditors were
visibly impressed. No action what
ever was taken by council at this time
but something may be done at some
subsequent meeting.

TO ENFORCE THE
STATE WEIGHT LAWS
Commissioner Barney Instructs His
Deputies Regarding VAR
ious Labels.

Those interested in Webster City
and Hamilton county should take
note of the action taken recently by
Commissioner w. B. Barney. The
commissioner has sent his inspectors
to their fields with instructions rig
idly to enforce the law requiring all
packages of food to be labeled SO as
to show the weight of the con-
tents. The statute went into effect
last Thursday.
The department has been working
up to the enforcement Of the law for
the last eighteen months. The legis-
lature in adopting the measure gave
the dealers year and a half to get
rid of the goods on their shelves so
that the labelling of package goods
would not work hardship on them.
According to Mr.. Barney the de-
partment is not disposed to be leni-
ent in enforcing the statute. Ample
time has been given all.
In the cities the bakeries have be-
gun to stamp the net weight on the
wrappers placed around bread. Man.
|ufacturers of crackers, cakes and
other articles placed in standardiz-
ed packages as we'll as the manu-
facturers of breakfast foods, are
now showing the net weight Of the
contents on the label.
Dealers say that this net weight
law may turn the public somewhat
toward bulk goods again. In some
instances, the stamping of the net
weight shows the public that twice
the same amount of the same article
can be purchased in bulk, than in
the package for the same amount of
money, it is said. The sanitary
claim for package goods will be the
main argument in favor of them,
retailers say,

Commend Mayor Valentine.

At the last regular monthly meet
ing of the w. C. T. U. the action
taken by our mayor, Hon. E. E. Val

val from our city, was highly COM
mended and approved and the fol-
lowing resolution ordered published:
Resolved; That we, the members
of the w. c. T. u, do heartily en-
dorse and approve said action, and
are justly proud that we have such
a man as E. E. Valentine at the head
of our city government; one who
stands for civic Righteousness, and is
guarding the moral interests of our
boys and girls; and that we need
have no fear for the reputation of
our fair city during his regime.

Delightful Trip.

The Drs. MitterliHg returned
Sunday from delightful five
weeks outing in Iowa and Nebraska
They left five weeks ago for Omaha
going overland over the Lincoln
highway. This highway, when CON-
pleted, will be very fine for automo-
billing, but at present is unpleasant
in many respects on account of the
large amount of grading, hill cut
ting and filling necessary to this
work.
The Mitterling's visited in Omaha,
Fremont, West Bend and other
points in Nebraska and returned to
Des Moines, by the "Great White
Way" a beautiful completed high
way south of the Lincoln highway.
This route is also shorter one and
in some respects more desirable for
overland travel. From Des Moines
they returned to this city, having
had a very pleasant vacation.

THE IOWA WEATHER
AND CROP REPORT
Rain Storms in Many Parts Of State
Hail and Wind Does Damage
to Corn.

Des Moines, Sept. S.-More rain
fell in the state during the last sew
en- days than in any other week of
the season. The rainfall was heavy
except over the northwestern quar-
ter of the state; the amounts, in
many localities, in the eastern and
southern districts exceeded three
inches, and few stations report
more than five inches. In many To-
calities the rains were accompanied
by destructive wind squalls and hail
storms, which did much damage to
corn. The average temperature was
nearly normal, although several
nights were quite cool. Light frost
occurred in exposed places over the
northw estern counties, but no dam
age was done. The rains were of
great benefit to pastures, aftermath,
late potatoes, blowing and to some
of the late corn. Flowing is now
progressing rapidly, and large area
is being prepared in the southern
districts for fall wheat and rye. Corn
is maturing rapidly and fully three
fourths of it will be beyond danger
of frost by the end of the coming
week. More than 90 per cent of
it will be safe by the goth and rrac-
tically all of it by the end of the
month. The average condition Of
corn on September list was placed at
81 per cent, or loss of 10 per cent
during August. The condition Of
late potatoes was 6s per cent and
pastures 70 per cent. With favor
able weather in the future corn
husking will begin earlier than u.s.
ual.

Grabbing Cat Fish.

Rolfe Arrow: 1t rather amuses us
the way some of the newspaper
brethren treat these fish grabbing"
stories. Invariably, they think that
some rascal who has made claims of
grabbing fish, has been SEEMING, or
something of that sort. We have no.
ticed several of the brothers making
fools of themselves over this propo-
sition by ridiculing the claims Of
someone catching fish in this way.
We would save them humiliation by
stating that it is a successful way
to catch fish if tried at the right
time of the day, when the weather
is real hot, and on the right kind OF
fish. During the heat of the day,
catfish especially, will bury them
selves in the mud or swim under a
log or rock and go to sleep. By get
ting into the river and feeling
around with the hands or feet, you
can locate them, and when located a
good handhold behind the head will
usually land the fish, if not too big.
Hundreds of them have been caught
in the Des Moines river near here in
this way, to our personal knowledge,
mostly catfish, with an occasional
carp. Personally, we have never
seen pickerel or bass caught in this
way, and if hearing reports of their
being so caught we would probably
be from Missouri, but as to the other
kinds mentioned, we know it car
be done easily. When something
new comes along the editor Is hare
to convince, especially If it is a fish
story.

THE FVANCE[|S-
TIC SERVICES
Open at Christian Church With
Much Interest and Large
Audiences.

The meetings at the Christian
church have begun with deep inter-
est and are attracting large audien-
ces. Rev. Bruce Brown, who was
pastor in Webster City when the To-
cal church was erected, is the evan
gelist and is greeted at every SER
vice by many old time friends.
Last night a large colored chart
was used illustrating the fulfillment
of types and prophecies. The GEN.
trail thought was that, as the type
in the printers form correspond to
the printed page, and as the photo
graph represents the face, so the
great facts of Old Testament history
correspond to the realities of the
New. The conclusion was that all
of this is beyond the power of man
and shows the indelible imprint of
divine guidance and power. -.
Mrs. l.. H. Sours leads a large
chorus and sings a solo at each SER
vice. The music will be made a
special feature of the meeting. Ser
vices are held each evening at 1880.

Win at Lehigh.

The ball game yesterday at Lee
highs celebration of Labor Day, be-
tween the team of that place and
the White Sox resulted in victory for
Webster City by score of 4 to 5.
Webster City had Lehigh shut out
up to the seventh inning, the score
being 3 to 0, when Baird, who
pitched for Webster City, weakened
somewhat and the Lehigh boys ran
in three TALES, tying the game. Le-
high made another score in the
eighth, putting them one to the
good. In the last inning, after Baird
had walked one man and hit anoth-
er with the ball, Smith went into
the box and the Webster City team
pulled victory out of seeming defeat
by running in two more counts-a
sensational finish to an exciting
frame up.

Picnic and Reunion.

Eds. Freeman 1t was
the pleasure of the writer to attend
the Harvest home picnic" at KAN
rar last Saturday. The day was
ideal and everything a grand sue
cess. The balloon ascension at 4
o'clock was witnessed by hundreds of

relatives met for the first time in
several years. Everywhere was
laughter and gaiety.
One affair witnessed by the writer
worthy of special mention was re-

AFTERNOON GRAIN LETTER.


Chicago, Sept. S.-Grain markets
are unsettled today. Investment
buying at the advance has been .
disappointment. Longs have sought
wheat profits. The United States
wheat visible fails to gain but the
Canadian wheat grower is market
ing at a swift pace. War news fs
decisively improved as regards a
short conflict Austria seems to be
the weak spot of the central Euro
pean alliance. Primary corn rests
for an exhausted old crop are large.
Splendid rains for weeks have re-
vived the fall pastures. Our south
ern correspondence shows cotton
around &c per pound in Texas and
the south believes its corn demand
will be small due to the cotton stu
alton. The general grain situation
suggests more hesitation in the
Thursday session.
