the Game.
IMMENSE CROWD WAS PRESENT.

The Webster City White sox de-
feated the Stevens Fort Dodge team
at the ball game in Riverside park
Saturday afternoon by score Of 4
to 2. An immense crowd witnessed
the contest, the attendance being
almost as large as that on last
Thursday at the opening game Of the
season.
Fort Dodge led off in Saturdays
game by making a score in the first
inning. In the third, Huston for the
White Sox batted a red-hot grounder
down the third base line, bringing
in base runner and evening up the
score. There was nothing doing
then until the fifth inning, when
the local boys put on their batting
clothes and pounded out four tallies,
practically deciding the contest. In
the sixth, Fort Dodge took brace
and landed two more scores. During
the balance of the game the White
Sox succeeded in adding two more
to their side of the score board and
Ft. Dodge added another tally with
home run. There were many ex-
citing situations in the contest,
thereby keeping up interest through
out the game.
Emerson, one Of the two new men
on the webster City lineup this sea-
son, pitched for the White Sox and
did creditable work.
Tomorrow afternoon the Dun
combe team and the White Sox will
do battle on the local diamond.

EXERCISES AT THE CEMETERY.

Memorial Day in Webster City
was fittingly observed last Saturday
in honor of our fallen, as well as liv-
ing, heroes. The day was an ideal
one for such an occasion and the
crowd Of people participating was
unusually large The national col
ors fioated from flag staff, business
house, homes, lawns, automobiles, etc.
The address of the day was notably
inspiring and patriotic effort. The
procession to the cemetery, with the
local militia company as an escort,
was good long one. Many old vet
Grams and members of the w. r. G.
were in line and a large number OF
children Joined the procession as it
passed the high school building. Ar
irving at the silent city of the dead
-and Graceland cemetery never
looked more beautiful-the usual ex-
ercises were observed-singing by
the school children, the G. A. r. rit-
ual service, decorating of graves, sa-
lutte to the dead by the gun squad,
etc.
Upon the arrival Of the G.. A. r.
and the w. r. G. at the Methodist
church, where the address OF the day
was given, they were assigned re-
served seat section, the remainder
Of the church being comfortably fill
ed. The program was begun by two
songs by forty-five children from the
city schools Sleep Noble Hearts"
arranged from Mendelssohn, and
"The Anvil Chorus" from II Trova-
tore. Following this came the inyo-
cation by Rev. J. o. Staples. Then
a song. "Tenting Tonight" by the
high school Glenn Green
wood, John Hunter, Harry Miller
and Dennis Kelly. The reading of
Gen. John A. Logan's first order for
Memorial Day by Rev. Staples was
then given, followed by Lincoln's
Gettysburg address by Frank Whit
acre.
Hon. F. F. Fayille of Storm Lake
then addressed the audience in an
eloquent and inspiring manner. He
began his brilliant discourse by say
ing that he would that our Memorial
days should not be alone for the
placing Of flowers upon the graves
OF our departed heroes, but that we
might weave garlands about the
brows of those heroes yet living. 1T

tions had been in the throes of revo-
luton and despotic rule, period
following the Reformation, follow
ing the Elizabethan age, when the
worlds choicest literature was writ
ten. At this juncture a little band
of fifty-six men announced to the
world a new form of government. At
this announcement the great mass of
humanity ground down by oppres-
sion lifted its head and listened. I'm
ded this matchless constitution on
the frail bark of new nation was
launched on the billows of the sea
of time. From the points of Ply
mouth and Jamestown, the two lines
diverged, until at last the cannon
belched forth its challenge, and the
boys of ''61 wrote upon the pages of
history their answer to that chal-
lenge. From the beginning Of time,
man has evolved with his sword
hilt in his hand. But no nation ev-
er waged such a warfare for such
an issue. Caesar, Napoleon, that
sphinx-like genius, Robespierre with
his guillotine, Peter, the Hermit,
who made the streets run red with
blood -all evolved, but not for the
mighty purpose of nation undiYid-
ed and at peace with itself. The
question with our boys was whether
or not a nation should stand free
and equal before the law. It cost
the best blood of the nation. At the
close Of that great battle, four, hun
dred thousand men had died. for you
and me-in prison pen, on battle
field, in tangled thicket for you and
me. You men-now with silvered
locks, left your homes and the fond
ambitions that only young man
can know-and answered to your
country's call. You endured the few
er-laden camps, the vile food, the
stife OF battle smoke and went to
face foe whose bravery has never
been equalled since Greek met
Greek. Lovers Of the human race
will pay tribute to John A. Logan
long after his statue has crumbled to
dust. (Applause). But our great
victory was only made possible by
the courage and fidelity of the pri-
vate soldier, whose only eqaulets
were the threadbare spot on his
shoulder, worn by the rubbing of his
musket. The speaker here paid a
most glowing tribute to the private
citizen volunteer soldier Of America,
which was followed by applause.
Not one whit less brave and patri-
otic were the women of America
who staid at home. (Applause). /.
And would pay tribute to the man
who with his pen point touched the
shackles of four millions of slaves
and freed them-the man who will

Waldo Emerson said, for opportun-
ity. We have as a nation done more

ACCI-
DENT AVERTED.
Teams Frightened During the Angus
Mclaughlin Funeral Pro-
cession to Cemetery.

A frightful accident was narrow
ly averted Saturday afternoon while
the Angus Mclaughlin funeral pro-
cession was vending its way to the
cemetery. The line of rigs was pass
ing along the road bounding the
|cemetery on the north when one of
the teams became frightened at the
noise of an auto engine. Both sides
of the road were lined with cars as
the Memorial day program was at
that time being carried out in the
cemetery. The frightened team be-
gan to back, ljamming their buggy
into the heads of the next horses be-
hind and so on until four or FIVE
teams were involved. Mr.. and Mrs.
C. D. Carpenter were attending the
funeral with their horse and buggy
and theirs was the third rig from
the team which was backing up.
Their horse cramped the buggy so
suddenly in its efforts to get out of
the way of the backing team in
front of it, that one of the hind
wheels of the buggy was crushed.
Mrs. Carpenter jumped from the
buggy and Mr.. C. followed when one
side of the rig went down, caused
by the broken wheel. Fortunately,
indeed, both escaped injury. Dur
ing the mix-up man threw his
baby from the buggy to the grass at
the road side and jumped out after
it. The little one was not hurt, and
the several horses which had be-
come frightened were quieted before
any of them broke loose or made a
dash to run away.
Those who witnessed the affair
were almost breathless, fearing at
any moment to see somebody killed.
One lady who saw it was hysterical
with fright for some time before she
could be calmed down with the as
surance that nobody was hurt.
All concerned in the mix-up are
surely to be congratulated over es-
Gaping serious or fatal injury. espec-
tally Mr.. and Mrs. Carpenter, who
seemed to be in the center of the
disturbance.

there the "grouch" is likely to be
. at his WOrst) or in the course of the
business day at the school, office OF
shop? How shall we treat the
y.'grouch"? This is practical
question and one that many of Us
have to consider daily and on which
we must take some kind of stand
1t goes almost without saying that
in the presence of the "grouch' we
are in danger. For it is one Of the
fundamental laws of nature that like
produces like, that what we are we at
tract to us. Hence the first effect OF
the Crouch" is to drag us from our
natural good nature and make us in
to his likeness. We gloom and frown
back, and, if we are not careful, we
answer him after his own way and
so become "grouches" ourselves, says
the Minneapolis Journal
But the wise person does not fall
into this trap. He says to himself
my good nature was before his
crouch and is more in accord with
the principle Of good that rules the
Universe. Hence, taking advantage
of the law that like produces like
and that what we are we attract
propose spreading my good nature
with so lavish hand that it will
swallow up his crouch. I will be sc
good-natured fundamentally that
will draw to the surface his natural
goodness to be reflected back to me. -

THE PLANTING OF TREES.

sonaI Advantages.
Tree planting, done now. when the
unusual seasonal conditions offer every
inducement and the wholesale destruc
ton of the forests, parks and road bors
dering trees in Europe serves to call at
tention to the sad plight of denuded
country, is strongly advocated by John
Y. Culyer of the New York Tree Plant
ing association. who says:
The planting of trees may now be
undertaken, and the work can be con
tinued through November and possibly
into the early part of December. Fail
planting is entirely safe and often pref
cradle to that of belated and disor
dered spring.
With what painful interest, despite
the more serious aspect of the present
war, do we read the graphic accounts
of the destruction Of the trees upon
the roads and in the parks and wooded
areas in the land where the ensiln
guined scenes are being enacted! The
roads in the territory intervening be
tween Germany and France are excel.
lent and in many parts are notable for
the beauty and attractiveness of the
roadside trees. carefully nurtured for
generations and many of them grown
to great size and characteristic devel
Opment.
These in vast numbers have been de
stroyed to meet the eXigencies of war,
for use as fuel, for temporary struc
lures, shelters, bridges and for general
obstructive purposes. In Virginia and
other parts of the south more than a
half century ago the land was in like
manner dismantled and Scared.
1t is worth while, therefore. to con
slider. seriously the abundant planting
Of trees. A sufficient choice of trees
may be found among the following va
rieties, which have been designated for
street use by park authorities: The sew
eral varieties OF maple, the lindens
native and European: the planes or
sycamores, the oriental plane being
preferred; some of the oaks, ash and
