AUTO THIEVES
AGAIN At WORK
Joy Riders Choose Delivery Truck as
Mode of Conveyance This
Time.

Auto thieves are again at work in
the community and showed their
handiwork very plainly Friday
morning, when the automobile truck
owned by H. l.. Wise was taken out
of the garage at the rear Of his
home and found to have been
roughly used at some time during
the night.
The rear lamp was broken, the ra-
diator bent, the crank bearings in
the engine broken, and very little
gasoline left in the tank showing
that the car had been run about Is
miles, as near as Mr.. Wise can esti-
mate it. No unusual noise was
heard about the garage on Thurs
day night. He was in the habit of
leaving it unlocked, as he did not
think it likely that anyone wanting
joy ride would choose a delivery
truck to take it in. However, this
time, that was the preferred mode
of travel to all evidence for the car
showed rough usage in every partic-
ular. 1t will probably cost in the
neighborhood Of SIS to have the ma
chine properly repaired.

HALLOWEEN PARTY
GIVEN BY PUPILS
Program of Literary and Musical
Sumbers, Contests, Etc, at
Business College.

One of the first Hallow cen par
ties of the season was given Friday
night at the Webster City Business
college by the Commercial College
club and about fifty guests We're
present. A fine program Of literary
and musical numbers was given, in
Guiding a trombone solo by Harold

JUDGE J. |. kAhRAR
AGAINST ROTATION
Declares That Position of Candi-
dates Name Upon Ballot Of
no Consequence.

Register and Leader: That it i
an insult to the intelligence of low;
voters to believe that first position
on a ballot is of any benefit to ;
candidate, was the belief expressed
by Judge J. L. Kamrar Of Webster
City yesterday in rendering a de-
cision knocking out the application
OF A. P. Chamberlin for a writ Of
mandamus to compel County Audi
tor Erase to place the names of the
judicial candidates on the ballot in
alphabetical order. The decision was
on a demurrer interposed by Mr.
Erase.
1T has occurred to me that alto
gether too much Importance is plac-
ed upon this thought and idea OF
alphabetical order and rotation -
said the court, in announcing his de-
cision. ut seems to me that it is
a reflection upon the intelligence Of
our citizenship that you should say
that there will be an advantage to
have your name at the head of the
ticket. If there is, and you are en-
titled to have it upon the ticket in
alphabetical order and rotated by
precincts, it seems to me that there
should be some more impartial way
Of saying whose name should come
at the head of the ticket.
Il can see some reason why, with
a multiplicity of candidates at the
primaries for these offices, that there
would be some reason for a pro-
vision of that character and for it's
enforcement. But after all if you
Were to say that our people are
electing judges by striking the num-
bers of the first six or ten or what
ever you. may be entitled to elect,
then you might about as we'll say
that the machine should do the
whole business. l cannot keep it
from my mind that the courts would
better mandamus the people to in
form themselves as to the fitness and
qualifications Of the men whom they
want to select to sit upon the
bench"

ANOTHER APPEAL
TO GOOD FELLOWS
Work This Time is Needed and
Should be Supplied to Wom-
an at Once.

Here is another appeal. Good Eel
lows of the city. This time the call
is not for food, clothing or money,
but for work The case is one of a
deserted wife in whose home there
is already one child and soon to be
another. This is one of the most
deserving cases that ever came to
light in the city and should receive
imm ediate help. She desires patch
work, mending, crocheting, rag
sewing, in fact any kind of sewing
except machine work. This she is
not able to do, and inasmuch as she
desires to work and help to support
herself, she should be aided. Almost
everyone has some odd bits of sew
ing, which has been waiting for a
more convenient season, and these
could be taken at once to this de-
serving woman.
Her affairs for the present are
well taken care or, KIM frlendS
have done that, and more stand
ready to render material aid if she
requires it, but she is able and anX-
ious to do light sewing this winter
and has absolutely no money laid
away for a rainy day. She is not
for charity, but is very de-
sirous for work of this nature. Call
this Office and you will be given the
telephone number, if you have work
for her
