Webster City lost to the Old Tav.
erns team of Des Moines in the bal
contest at Riverside park Saturday
afternoon, the score standing 3 to S
It was hard fought battle and took
twelve innings to decide the combat
The high wind which prevailed al
the time was a big handicap to fast
ball playing, but both sides did very
well. notwithstanding the cold and
disagreeable state of the atmosphere
big crowd was on hand to see the
game. Another feature which
marred the pleasure of the contest
was the continual kicking of the Des
Moines boys, especially the catcher,
Leach, on the rulings of the umpire.
A few of the decisions were close,
but the visitors were given a square
deal at all times. Richards pitched
for the White Sox and did good
work. The locals handed the Des
Moines team ten straight goose eggs,
but in spite of that fact lost out, the
visitors making the winning scores
in the first and twelfth innings.

A Good Demonstration.

The latter part of last week a
demonstration of the New Method
gas stove was held in the east show
window of the Foster furniture store.
A new line of these stoves has re-
Gently been added to the Foster
stock and the demonstrator made
bread, biscuits, cinnamon rolls, etc,
giving samples to those who cared
for them. Saturday afternoon the
gentleman gave demonstration
which drew very large crowd OF
people. He made lemon cake, five
layers high and two feet square. On
this cake he put a paper and large
board and called for twenty-five
women to stand upon it. A large
number of women responded. After
they had stood on the cake it i'm
mediately rose to its former height
and seemed none the worse for hav-
ing had the weight upon it. The

women of the crowd had good deal
of merriment out of it, many of
them saying it didn't take large
number of persons to stand on their
cakes in order to make them fall fiat.
A large loaf of bread has been on
exhibition in the Foster window dur
ing the past few days with sign
asking women to guess the number
of pounds it contained. The nearest
guess was DR.. M. S. Mitterlings. The
bread weighed nine pounds and her
guess was just three quarter pounds
more. Mrs. Henry Roskopf, east of
town, won the BOBBY prize by being
the farthest away in the guessing.
Both prizes were loaves of bread
baked in the New Method gas stove.

City Parks.

At meeting held recently by the
Webster City park commission list
of rules were adopted for governing
the parks. This is wise move and
the requirements should be needed

deface or injure any of the trees,
grounds or property in the park.
Rubbish, paper or garbage must
not be scattered over the park, hut

ter, are to be used only by persons
up to and including the age of IA
years. Swings and other playground
apparatus are to be used only by
persons up to and including the age
of 20 years.
Playground apparatus are only for
use between the hours of a. m. and
9 p. m. and shall not be used after
8 p. m.
No children are permitted in the
parks after 8 p. m. or before Z a. m.
Parks are closed to the public be-
tween the hours of 10 p. m. and Z

LOVERS OF OUR
FEATHERED FRIENDS
Not Generally Known What Re.
treat for Birds D. c. Chase
Premises Are.

From the earliest times of which
we have any historical record, il
would seem that birds have appealed
to the interest and Imagination OF
man. They are often mentioned in
holy writ, and have oftimes been the
theme of the poets song, but never
until now have the people in general
taken such an interest in the feathery
kingdom. Even in these busy times,
when the humdrum of business
seems so often the all in all, it is
certainly a fact that a direct and
personal interest in birds is being
taken by thousands Of men and
women in this and other lands. They
are following the birds afield, study
ing their habits and listening to
their songs. We are told that even
sportsmen take more pleasure in this
than they once did in shooting and
destroying the birds. The economic
value of birds has been definitely de-
termined by the government and it
has been proved that the very exist
ence of the forests and the success
of the crops depends upon the pre-
servation of the feathery tribe.
Neighbors and friends of Mrs. D..
c. Chase know something of her love
for birds, but it may not be general
ly known what home for them the
Chase premises have become.
We quote the following from an
article written by Henry M. Hen
shaw, chief of biological survey, pub
lished in the May number of the Ma
tional Geographic Magazines:
Efforts to attract birds to dwell
lings with a view to their close COM
panionship, are worthy of praise, and
such efforts should be far more COM
mon than they are at present, par
ticularly as the means involve little
trouble or expense. The presence of
trees and shrubbery near the house
is of itself an open invitation to
birds, which they are eager to ac-
cept Particularly if the shrubbery
is not too closely pruned. Birds like
thick vines and tangles, in the re-
cesses of which they feel safe from
many enemies. Suet, nuts and other
bird foods, if exposed in conspicuous
places, can usually be depended up
on to attract birds in winter, and Of
ten avail to save many lives. In
summer, opportunities to drink and
to bathe furnish irresistible attrac-
tions to birds, and largely increase
the number resorting to any given
neighborhood."
Mr.. and Mrs. Chase have planned
just such a retreat for birds and the
result justifies their efforts. While

3rd. Resolved, that we favor the
use of convict labor for building
state roads, at a reasonable wage,
and all earnings above expenses to
state, shall be used for the support
of the convicts' dependents.
4th. Resolved, that we favor a
protective tariff which will eQualize
conditions of competition between
the United States and foreign coun-
tries, both for the manufacturers
and the farmer, east and west, and
on equal standard Of living.
5th. Resolved, that we endorse
the nomination of Hon. D. C. Chase
in this senatorial district and we be-
lieve his record in the legislature

After the convention the county
central committee met and elected
r. w. Della chairman.

iEright in the heart of the city, tn
ftrees and shrubbery in these larg
iEgrounds seem to make it seclude
spot, and nesting places can b
found not only in the branches o
Itrees and shrubs, but in numbe
of nesting boxes provided for tn
feathered tribe.
I Probably no other woman in tn
lefty is so thoroughly acquainted will
the names and ways and customs o.
the many birds which frequent oul
woods as Mrs. Chase. This spring
and summer she has identified sixty
varieties of birds-all in her own
yard-and some twenty-three still
different ones in woods about the
city. Many of these were migratory
and staid not even for the summer.
Among those whose stay was short
were hermit thrushes and other var
ieties of the thrush, and various
,warblers. Among the summer birds
now nesting are wrens, cat birds,
woodpeckers, orioles, flickers, robins,
brown thrashers, and grackels. The
house where some martins were nest
ing was blown down in storm late
ly, and though it has been replaced
the martins refuse to return to it. In
this yard a large cement bathing
pool is constantly frequented by
birds, and crumbs are scattered
about many times day by this bird
woman. When they see her coming
the robins will run across the yard
to her just as chickens would do.
She has noticed that the grackels
take the crumbs to the pool and soft
en- them in the water before feeding
them to baby birds. She has seen
none of the others do this.
After recent storm, Manley
Sweazy, one of the boy scouts, found
a branch of tree to which was at
tached the nest of Baltimore or
lole, containing a living baby bird.
He took the branch to Mrs. Chase
who has since fed and cared for the
bird. She feeds it worms, crumbs
and cherries, using tweesers to get
the food into it's mouth. 1t slept in
It's nest until Miss Chloe Scriven,
who is also especially interested in
birds, furnished cage for the little
stranger. This baby has already
doubled in size and will soon be able
% mingle with the other baby birds
n the Chase yards. While the cage
vas hanging in a tree one day, al
male oriole came and tried to feed
t through the wires of the cage, an
of family instinct.
Mrs. Chase also has a feeding
able with large basin for the bath,
itted up near the porch. so that she
an photograph the birds while they
re eating and bathing. Miss Chloe
criven has a similar table and has
aiken many bird pictures which one
an see by calling at the Scriven
tore. One of the pictures of the
ably oriole in it's nest is among
hese. There are also a number of
ther homes in the city where ce-
lent pools have been provided for
he birds.
Only the uninitiated cannot under
tand what pleasant companions
hese feathered creatures become
'hen watched and cared for from
atching time to maturity, and those
,ho have made friends with the
irds have joys that others know not
