tales Of the fight 1T Liege, and grim
narratives Of the war were brought
by the American refugees from Eur

Many Americans aboard were with
out money or baggage. Some said
they had been held as spies. Others
had made their way on foot from the
interior Of Belgium to Antwerp
through the regions Of warfare.
With . Dutch pilot aboard, Captain
Barman steered the ship through 4
little used channel Of the North soa

with the smoke Of British battleships.

James A. Patten Of Chicaeo, and
Mrs. Pstten, who were among the pas

Nuremberg in an automobile. Arriv-

guard house and were rigidly cross

DIR. ]. Frank McMichael, who is at
the head OF this Institution, has been

ing corrected thousands Of cases OF re-
fractive errors Of the eye, and frequent

waste OF nerve energy from eye strain,
causing Headache, Neuralgia, Vertigo.
Nervousness, Insomnia, and some
cases Of Epilepsy. He has been able to
give them permanent relief by his
methods and prescription glasses. Or.
McMichael's large patronage forced
him to have more assistance. and this
necessitated the organization OF the
Tennessee Optical Company, in order 10
facilitate the business. Miss Willie
Jones, who has been in the Office for
several years, will be retained as book
keeper and stenographer.

will be in charge Of an expert lens
grinder, who has been brought ND in
the business and understands his bust
ness in every detail. II requires years
OF experience to become competent to
grind prescription glasses and this is an
feature. The high class SER
vice that DIR. McMichael has always
given will be maintained, but the prices
will be lower for the reason that buying
material and supplies in much larger
quantities from the factories in place OF

cent in the purchasing price which we
will give the public the benefit OF. The

Suggestion for Paving.

Eagle Grove Eagle: 1t is sug-
gested that the main streets that are
thoroughfares for country travel
might be paved Is feet wide with
gravel shoulders, and without curb
ing and guttering thus making a
good street, good enough for all
practical purposes and eliminating
the serious expense of the wide pave
ment with it's curb and gutter. Prop
erty owners are hesitating about
paving because of the serious cost.
There seems to be no good reason
why the curb and gutter should not
be eliminated on a we'll crowned
street and the paving narrowed to
Is feet with graveled sides. No one
questions but the wide paved street
with its curb and gutter looks bet
ter, but the cost is out of all proper
ton to benefits. The expense Of paw
ing should be reduced fully two
thirds and 1t can be done in the
manner indicated above. This plan
is being considered in Marshalltown
and such cities, and if good enough
for them it Is good enough for Eagle
Grove.

MUSICAL COMEDY
A BIG SUCCESS
1.-THE Red Rose" at Armory is Greet
ed With Large Audience-A
Notable Event.

One of the most notable musical
comedy events of the season was
"The Red Rose at the Armory OPP
era house Friday evening. A large
crowd was in attendance.
"The Red Rose" has to do with
student life in the Latin quarter of
Paris. The locale is suggestive of
care-free happiness, and the partic-
ular scenes depicted in Mr.. Fishers
play reflect the best to be found in
real and imaginary life. Its story
deals with the love of young mil
lionaire art student for Lola, an eX-
quisite artists model, toast of the
Bohemian quarter for two years.
That the girl turns out to be the
daughter of a wealthy and distin-
guished nobleman and that every
thing ends happily is to be expected.
The expected happens. The first act
shows the interior of an art school
where the students are drawing
from a living model. The second is
an outdoor scene on the estate of a
nobleman just outside the French
capitol. The third depicts the Four
Arts Ball. where are introduced
many of the beautiful and novel
dances which help more than lit
tie to lift "The Red Rose" out of the
muck of musical comedy. The seem
cry and costumes were very elabor-
ate. The chorus of girls have been
chosen not only for looks, grace and
youth, but for ability to sing and
dance

Was Probably Suicide.

The death of Earl Bostwick, we'll
known in this city in I. N. G. circles,
in Chicago few days ago. is believ-
ed to have been due to suicide. Mr..
Bostwick lived in Fort Dodge until
about a year ago, when he went to
Chicago. In speaking of the trag-
edy the Fort Dodge Chronicle says:
Despondent and deeply grieyed ov-
er the death Of his fiance and moth
er. which followed very closely up
on each other, is generally conclud-
ed by those who knew him best, to
have caused Earl Bostwick to take
his own life. Until a year ago, when
Webster City freeman. [volume] (Webster City, Hamilton County, Iowa) 1884-1946, 1914-01-20
FRFEMAN-TRIBUNE PUB. co.

young Bostwick went to Chicago to
enter Naval school, he had made
this city his home. About year
ago the announcement of his ap-
preaching marriage to Rhoda Mar
tin was made. Soon after her death
occurred. Six weeks ago he was
called home on account of the death
of his mother, who had been in fall
ing health for some time. 1t was
noticeable to his friends that Mr..
Bostwick had been unable to rise
above the sorrow which had come to
him. Soon after the burial of his
mother he returned to his school du-
ties and the telegam which came
this morning to his brother. Frank
Bostwick, told of his death. The
brother left this morning for Chi
cago to bring the body here.
Several weeks ago the deceased
enlisted in the navy at the recruit
ing station in this city and was sent
to the Great Lakes Naval Training
school in Chicago where his work
had been most satisfactory. Ac-
cording to the theories advanced it
would seem that Bostwick and his
companion had entered into a sui
eide pact. However, the real truth
of the matter will probably not be
revealed, as no letters or word was
found which give any clue.

mot the Size of the Farm. "

Burlington Hawk-Eye: John
Lachmiller, who lives near Webster
City, is demonstrating to his neigh
bors that farmer does not need $50
acres upon which to make living
fol- himself and family. His princi-
pal product is live pork, and his sales
for, 1913 amounted to almost $2,7OO.
In addition he got the living for
himself and the family and raised a
few colts and a few cattle. And in
all probability there are men on
smaller farms who can make an
equally good showing. It is not the
size of the farm but the knowledge
of farming and the application
thereof that makes for success.

Owners Claim They Cannot do Bust.
ness Under the New Tariff
Law.

A dispatch from Mason City states
that the big sugar factory at Waiver
ly has closed down and is likely to
remain closed, and a Des Moines
special says:
News received here to the effect
that the only sugar factory in Iowa,
the one at Waverly, is to be closed
and no contracts will be made for
sugar beets for this year, caused
much regret in booster circles but
not great surprise. There had been
hope that with the success of the
Waverly factory there would event.
ually be one located near Des
Moines, since it has been asserted
that the very best of soil can be
found here for beets.
The factory at Waverly closed
down some time ago, after the sugar
making season had ended and the
proprietors gave it out that they
could not say whether contracts
would be asked for again until they
had figured up on the business. Now
they find that with the lowering
price of sugar in the markets of the
United States the factory can not be
operated with a profit, hence it will
be closed.
1t is given out that the company
has an investment of 100000 in
the factory and the company has
paid out for beets, for wages. for
transportation and other things
about a million and a half dollars
Employment has been given to about
seventy-five men for the year round
and as many as $50 during the work
season.
