Wars in April.

Many national guard members
who are we'll posted on American
history point to the fact that war
will come with Mexico this month
and cite as presidents the Revolu-
tionary war declared April 10, 1775;
Black Hawk Indian war April, 1881;
Mexican war April "a, 1916; Utah
Indian war April, 1S49; Seminole In
dian war April, 1856; Civil war
April, 1861; Spanish American war
April, 1898; Philippine Instruction
April, 1899. Out Of eighteen large
and small wars eight have originated
in April And the former war with
Mexico started sixty-eight years ago
today. On April rs, 1898, the men,
bers of Company c of this city left
Webster City for the south. While
to the majority of people this has
no significance, yet some of the Ma
tional Guard are of the opinion that
this company will be ordered out and
leave Webster City before the first
Of May.

even if Judge Lee is nominated and

is a closed incident and we fail to
see where Gov. Lee could set us
right in the matter. Unless our

IMPROVEMENTS At
THE BALL PARK
Athletic Association Will Have Tag
Day to Raise the Necessary
Funds.

The Webster City Athletic associ-
alton are planning upon making
some improvements at the ball park
this spring. 1t was decided upon
recently and they will consist of a
concrete retaining wall below the
grand stand, an addition to the
grandstand and the filling of the big
ditch in the outfield. This was talk
ed of last year but on, account of
the heavy expense of buying the
grounds and erecting the grand
stand, fence, etc, nothing was done.
This spring, however, it is expected
that tag day will be instituted to
raise the money to make these addi-
lions. The association has no funds
in the treasury and it is thought
best to institute a tag day. With
the great success of last years ball
team the people of the city will re-
spond literally. The base ball asso-
citation made money last year and
will be capable of taking care Of it.
self this season. However, the Ath-
letic association, who own and con-
troll the park, have no way of max
ing money and as they have been
at large expense they have decided
upon a tag day or will gladly sell
the remainder of stock on hand.

Simon Sogard Settles It.

Eds. Freeman-Tribune: With your
indulgence will you kindly permit
me to elucidate matter that has to
be settled on or about June 1. From
the press we learn that our political
guardians at Ames, Webster City,
and Fort Dodge have decreed in adj
vance that Gov. Geo. w. Clarke is
absolutely impossible for another
term as governor of this great state
of Iowa and in pursuance of their
duties as such guardians have Sc
lected one, CHANGER G. Lee, for the
benighted inhabitants of the state as
being about the proper caper for
this position. Now we old line re-
publicans who are variously dubbed
standpatters, reactionaries, etc.,
were not particularly clamoring for
George for governor two years ago,
but as we thought he was the like
Hest proposition of the three candi-
dates in the field we quite general
ly voted for him and he was nomi-
mated and elected. True, it was by
a narrow margin, but in view of the
fact that the state convention of al
legged republicans who met at Des
Moines shortly after the primaries
of that year passed the famous alb
solution resolution forgiving any re-
publican and absolutely holding him
guiltless of any sin if he voted for
Roosevelt or Wilson, it occurs to us
feeble-minded old-fashioned reac-
tionaries that it is a wonder the
governor was elected at all. With
all due respect for Judge Lee we can
see no reason for his candidacy.
There is no one as far as we can
learn but who admits that Governor
Clarke has made an acceptable chief
executive, in fact better than some

MORE men ARE Of
FER|NC SERVICES
Company C Now Has Sixty Enroll
ed-Will Probably Soon Have
Seventy-Five.

Recruits are rapidly applying tc
Capt. Martin for enlistment in Com
pany C of this city. Already the
company has been recruited to sixty
men and it is expected that it will
soon have seventy-fve on the roll.
Many men with no previous military
experience are enlisting, as it was
rumored that orders would soon go
out that none but men having prev
ious service would be accepted.
This would apply in case of call
for troops and large number Of
the young men of this community
do not intend to wait until the last
minute for fear they would be re-
fused. So far every man that has
signed enlistment papers has pass
ed the physical examination and is
now member of the company.
While a newspaper report has 1t
that Adjutant General Logan had
stated that it was not expected that
the national guard would be used it
was considered false report by To-
cal officers, as it would be an i'm
possibility for the regular troops to
handle the situation in case war is
started with Mexico. 1t has also
become known that several railroads
in the state have received orders to
handle troops and as there are no
troops in this state except national
guard this would seem to contradict
the statement that no national
guard is likely to be used.

Do not feed calves more grain than

Liberal feeding with foods contain

The calf should have the first milk

SucceSS1ul DAIRY management lo
quires intense interest and intellectual
advancement.
Dairy profits do not consist OF
growing large crops and donating
them Improbable cows and calling
the result profit.
A wire strainer is productive of
more harm than good.
Having clean, fresh cloth strainers
for each milking will save a lot OF
trouble and explain the strange phe-
nomena of why the milk soured.
The man who grows legumes to
help feed his land has land that yields
large crops to feed his COWS.
Never turn COW off as Improbable
until you can look her in the eye and
say have done my part in caring for
and feeding her.
Many men who leave the city to
take up farming lose money while
they are learning common sense.
Weighing, testing, and figuring dairy
profits Is comparatively easy matter
but the rest is not so easy TO accom-
plish. 1t is easy to kill COW or sell
her for a low price and get new in
her place. But to get a better one
requires time, money and rare judg'
ment. The tearing down process is
more simple than the building up one.

milk veins and fancy color markings
No small part of the bacterial dirt
in milk comes from the person and

Nothing contributes more to the
steady thrift of cattle than careful
and persistent attention to their every

Short pasture, a poor water supply,
insufficient shade and protection from
flies cause more injury to dairy cattle
than disease, parasites and prevent
able injuries.
Good care cannot be administered In
bulk. 1t is the steady every day de-
votion to the little details that add to
the comfort of the cattle that counts.
No calling in life brings a man in
closer contact with the better class of
men than breeding high class stock.
1t matters not how good a bull may
be individually. he cannot head the
herd of a painstaking breeder unless
he has an acceptable milk record back
OF his parents
It Is quite useless to depend upon
purchased cows unless he is a better
Judge OF them offhand than the owner
is after testing them, which Is surely
not often the case.
The dairy COWS need bulk in her ra-
ton, but coarse, woody, indigestible
substances cannot be profitably con-

we need only to give the common
COW proper care and feed to learn that
