marrying parsons" OF the little town.
The reputation of Rockville as the Gret-
ma Green OF Maryland, they say, has
brought the town into disrepute and has
made it the byword and laughing stock
of those who point the finger of scorn
at the matrimonial industry that has for
years ffourished within it's boundaries.
During 1913. according to the records
of the office of the county clerk, 4a5 elop-
Ing couples were married IN Rockville.
The ease with which persons may obtain
marriage licenses there. say the object
ors, and the Willingness of the marry
ing parsons to tie the hyreneal Knot
no matter how unfit the clippers may APP
pear TO be. 1t is pointed out has brought
the town into disrepute with the more
serious minded and substantial residents
OF Rockville and MONTGOMERY county. and
the town lis suffering In consequence.

may be well to say that the rabble is

son and S. S. Parkhurst as candi-

board. Mr.. Peterson is at present a
member of the board, having held

general satisfaction, so far as the
Freeman-Tribune is advised, and
will probably be reelected without
opposition. s. S. Parkhurst, the 9TH

known young business men and
would serve the people faithfully
and we'll as a member of the school
board. The FreemanTribune has

1t is hardly likely that there will be

Planning to put up Vote Get

Word is sent out from Fort Dodge
that the democrats of the Tenth dis
trict are going to try to down Con-
gressman Woods this fall and it is
expected that O. NJ. Olson, former
ly state senator from the Webster
Calhoun district, will be the demo-
crat to measure strength with the
present congressman. 1t is suppos-
ed that the third party progressives,
in order to assist in the democratic
plan, will put up candidate also,
making a three cornered fight.
Mr.. Woods is progressive re-
publican and ought to be satisfact-
ory to progressives who care more
for principle than for party and if
it comes to a fight merely on party
lines Mr.. Woods ought to win.

Mr.. Lund is republican and has

AUTOMOBILE INST|-
TUTE A SUCCESS
However, Attendance was Small on
Account of the Many Other
Attractions.

The automobile institute held
here Thursday, Friday and Saturday
was a success in every way with
the exception of attendance. On ac-
count of there being so many enter
tainments and the short course hold
ing so many sessions the attendance
at the institute was not what it
otherwise would have been. But
those who attended, state that the
lectures were exceptionally fine and
of much value to owners of cars
who are not well versed in mechan-
ical lines. Every important feature
of the car was thoroughly discussed
and the lecturer invited questions of
all kinds concerning troubles which
might be encountered on the road.
The majority of auto owners who
attended this years institute are in
hopes that it may be continued. If
it could be secured at a time when
there was not too many other at
fractions in the city large attend
ance would be assured. Not in
years has Webster City had so many
entertainments, all good ones, as it
had last week from Monday morn
