J. w. McGrath for Judge.

At the election next Tuesday the
voters of this judicial distric. have
the duty, and an important one, of
selecting three men to serve as
judges for the next four years, from
the six who were nominated in the
primary election. The ticket for
judges is non partisan, and all vot-
ers, regardless of party affiliation,
vote for the three candidates whom
they desire to have elected. The
duty devolves upon the voter to in
form himself as to the qualifica-
tions of the candidates. The Free
man-Tribune is of the opinion that
the lawyers of the district are quail
flied to pass upon the qualifications
of candidates for this position. We
have made some investigation of the
candidates and desire to endorse for
one of the places to be filled ]. w.
McGrath, of Eagle Grove. He is one
of the strong lawyers of the district
and a man of sound judgment. He
has the unanimous and enthusiastic
support of the members of the bar
of his home county and, we believe,
has the support Of the entire mem
bership of the Hamilton county bar.
Mr.. McGrath, too, is close neigh
Dor and taking it from all angles
ought to receive a very handsome
support from the voters of Hamilton
| county.

suggestions along the lines of what
constituted effective debating.

Jewell Inventors.

Jewell Record: A. R. Stenerson
and A. D. Crosley have co-operated
in working out an invention on
which they have applied for pat
ent, and which they are confident
will prove to be good thing. Their
invention is for use in trap shooting
tournaments. Heretofore at all
shoots it has been necessary to have
an official referee and also a scorer
the referee calling targets either
lost or broken and the scorer mark
ing it down on the score cards. The
invention that Mr.. Stenerson and
Mr.. Crosley have worked out elimin-
ates one of these two officials. The
referee when he calls bird lost also
pulls lever on machine contain
ing the score card and the target is
recorded as lost for that shooter. Ii
the target is broken he pulls. the
other lever and the target is record
eQ as broken. Olle VI luc UeSl ledt-
ures of the invention is that it elm
mates all possibility of error as the
machine is set up in plain view of
the shooters who can see that the
official registers correctly the num-
ber of targets each shooter breaks
The fact that under the present sys-
TEN of scoring. errors were so fire.
quent gives good ground for the be-
lief that the machine Mr.. Stenerson
and Mr. Crosley have invented will
speedily become very popular. Trap
shooters to whom the invention has
been submitted state that it is an alb
solutely new thing, that heretofore
they have had no kind of a scoring
machine whatever, and they assure
the inventors that the invention is
feasible and practicable and should
be a ready seller and a money max
er.

High School Notes.

The celebration yesterday a. IN. OF
Saturdays foot ball victory over
Iowa Falls, was the greatest joyfest
known in our high school history
The very name of Iowa Falls has
been so ominous as to bring shade
of doubt over every athletes coun-
tenance for they are foemen worthy
of any ones good hard steel. Suffice
to say that when they encountered
our team and did not even make a
score when they put up terrific
fight, and could not stop that awful
13 which our fellows won, our high
school put on all its smiles, and
gave forth poems of rejoicing. Miss
Lee has drilled the girls glee club
for some time upon foot ball song
and the girls sang it, both Friday
D. m. and this morning and the
boys gave them a rousing demand
for an encore, which was richly de-
served. The rejoicing found vent
in songs, yells and speeches by the
boys-speeches which were greeted
with enthusiastic ha has by their
fellows. 1t would repay the effort
of the public to come and help en-
JOY one of these celebrations. Even
the Monday washing could stand for
an hour and not hurt when you get
a taste of such all-pervading, rous-
ing enthusiasm as you get when
they sing "Our schools the best of
ALL"
A new teacher was added to the
faculty yesterday, in the person
Of Miss Fannie o. Ames, who is a
graduate of Colorado University.
Miss Ames has been a successful
teacher in this state. She was for
merly principal at Cherokee. Dur
ing the past four years she has been
in Colorado, and Webster City is un-
usually fortunate in being able to
add Miss Ames to the faculty. Her
work will be in the mathematics
and English departments, where
there has been such crowded classes
that the numbers were far in ex-
cess of the limits prescribed by the
state for doing effective work. The
former debating room has been fit
ted up for class work, and will be
occupied by Miss Ames.

A Villainous Road.

People of Hamilton county who
have had occasion to go to Eagle
Grove of late are in position to
most emphatically refute the charge
that Hamilton county has the
worst roads in the state" This is
not true. The strip of road from a
point a mile west of Woodstock
north to Eagle Grove is the most
abomniable highway at the present
time there is in this section of coun-
try. The writer undertook to go to
Eagle Grove yesterday, but when
within about three miles of that
town gave up in dispair, turned
around and came home. The trip
could have been made, of course, as
the road was not impossible, but it
was as rough as a road possibly
could be and we don't believe the
one leading into Fort Dodge that
caused our friend Hummell to ex-
p1ode a month or two ago, is in
any worse condition. The road has
not been dragged since the late
heavy rains and the bumps and ruts
are as hard as baked clay. If you
want to drive to Eagle Grove we
would advise you to drive to Des
Moines or Chicago in preference.

WEBSTER CITY wins
FROM. iowa FALLS
High School Foot Ball Team Victor
~ ious Saturday by Score Of
13 to 0.

The Webster City high school,
foot ball team played good ball Sat
urday afternoon when they scored
13 to 0 in game with the Iowa
Falls foot ball team at Riverside
park. The boys band was in evil
dence again at the head of the pro-
cession and furnished the stimulus
at the park, rooters and enthusiasts
from the local high school helping
in this. The Webster City lineup
was as follows:
Center-Whitacre.
Guards-Bailey and Markwardt.
Tackles-Greenwood and Sterling.
Ends-France and Maywald.
Quarter back-Lane.
Right half-Clark.
Left half-Gilmore.
Fullback-Brown.
The game was little unusual for
the Webster City team in that it
was Lanes first game of foot ball.
Our boys started in with rush and
all the touchdowns were made early
in the game. They came near max
ing one touchdown in the first quar-
ter. In the third quarter they fall
ed to kick goal 80 yards away. On
the whole they played better foot
ball than they had been playing, al
though they did not come back on
the second half as strong as they
should. The local team outweighed
that from the Falls, but did not
carry the fight clear through in the
strong manner noticeable in the
Iowa Falls team. Our boys were not
together in the last half as they
should have been. The first touch
down was made on a forward pass.
Several attempts were made by Iowa
Falls at forward passes and they
nearly got away. The local team
could play fine game of ball if
they would, as team, pay more at
tention to condition.
The local team fear their Water
loo next Saturday when they meet
Ames high school at Ames

The Annual Shoot.

The big annual shoot of Company
c. came off as scheduled Sunday,
beginning at 1880 o'clock in the
morning and lasting until dark in
the evening, at the rifle range on
the Wilke farm south of the city.
There was very large attend
ance, a goodly number being outsid-
ers who came at intervals during
the day, and whose interest in the
event was much appreciated by the
boys Of the company.
Nearly every man of the rifle
team was present and this fact,
coupled with the early nightfall OF
the time of year, made the shoot
impossible to complete Sunday. 1t
will be finished next Sunday, at
which time it may be determined
who are the winners of the medals
and prizes offered.

MRS. BRADY WINS BY DEFAULT
Mrs. Mary Kuhns. Michigan wife"
Of State Auditor Brady, won her
$4,000 breach of promise suit
against the bank examiner by de-
fault.
Although Brady had been notified
personally several times he declined
to appear and the order was entered.
Brady, however, has been judged a
bankrupt by the U, S. court.
Startling statements in the damage
suit brought on the crash of the Lor-
inner bank system, when Mrs. Kuhn,
angered at Brady's refusal to marry
her, exposed his methods.
Mrs. Kuhn obtained divorce in
1913 and her husband went to work
in Brady's Office Immediately after
the separation. Soon after the di-
vorce was granted she and Brady
eloped to Detroit and were married"
Under Illinois divorce laws this was
illegal and the marriage was void.
Mrs. Kuhns trusted Brady, she says,
when he promised to marry her after
the year required by the law was up.
His refusal to wed then. brought on
the suit.
