Joseph Jacobson a Candidate.

Elsewhere in today's paper will be
found the announcement of Joseph
Jacobson as candidate for member
of the city council from the Third
ward. Mr.. Jacobson has resided in
the ward many years and is one OF
the substantial and reliable citizens
of Webster City. He has followed the
business of contracting and build
ing long time and is known as a
conscientious and successful man in
that line of work. He possesses good
Judgment and no man among all his
acquaintance can justly question his
honesty and integrity. He is GER
tainly good man for the people OF
the ward to select to represent them
upon the council and the Freeman
Tribune believes he will prove a
strong candidate at the polls.

HIGH Prices the Rule.

Fort Dodge Chronicle: Williams,
in Hamilton county, notes that a
number of farms have changed
hands in that vicinity recently, the
price ranging from $165 for unim-
proved to 1925 for improved land
per acre. Just that little paragraph
is all that the sales called forth. No
doubt Hamilton county would have
been afame with excitement twenty
years ago if in single instance such
prices had been quoted and nobody
would have believed that by 1915
the price of good improved land
would be better than 5000 per acre.
One of the strangest things about
the continuous rise in the prices OF
Iowa land is that everybody refuses
to get excited over the fact. Some
how, many do not seem to have re-
allied Just what has been happen
ing, else there would have been few.

Cure for Strong Drink.

"A correspondent of the Kansas
City Star writes as follows:
A famous prescription in use in
England for the cure of drunkenness
was brought to light by John Vine
Hall, commander of the steamship
Great Eastern. He had fallen into
habitual intemperance and his most
earnest effort to help himself was
unavailing. At length he sought the
advice of an eminent physician
who gave him a prescription which
he followed faithfully for seven
months. At the end of that time he
had lost all desire for liquor. He
published the recipe as follows:
Five grains sulphate of iron, ten
grains magnesia, eleven drachms
peppermint water. This amount is
one dose, and two doses should be
taken daily until cure is effected.
Another prescription adds one
drachm of spirits of nutmeg to the
above ingredients.

BOONE VALLEY FIELD
MEET AT EAGLE GROVE
Executive Board Decides to Hold
Meeting There on the 9TH
of May.

Eagle Grove Eagle: At the re-
cent meeting of the executive board
of the Boone Valley athletic associa-
ton it was decided that the Boone
Valley field meet would be held at
Eagle Grove on Friday, May the 7th,
at Greenwood Park. This date will
no doubt prove very satisfactory, as
it will not interfere with the other
meets held in this section of the
state. The commercial club has rent
ed the opera house for the evening
and that is one of the main reasons
why we got the meet. The armory
will also be open all day as a place
of rest and to check clothes, etc.
Some organization will more than
likely serve meals there on that day.
The track will be in better shape
than it has ever been, for extensive
work was done on it last fall and
will be continued this spring. The
only thing that now lacks is a new
amphitheater. A new one should
take the place of the one that we
now have. 1t should be built so the
people could be seated and still see
the track and also the field events.
This has been the main fault of hav-
ing the meet here before, as the Wis
itors have to stand up and see the
meet while if we had new ampi-
theatre all the visitors could see in
perfect comfort. There has been
some talk of this proposed improve
ment. Eagle Grove has one main
feature over all the other schools;
that is that we are located in the
center of the association and have
good railroad connections and thus
the expenses will be greatly decreas-
ed of both the association and the
visitors.

Some Real Estate Deals.

Williams Enterprise: Several
land deals have been made here in
the past few days, G.. w. Hoag sell
ling his 800 acre farm recently pur-
chased from A. J. Buick to Jacob
Swigart at 5000 an acre, and Mr..
Hoag took as part payment the ITO
acre farm of Mr.. Swigart's adjoining
Blairsburg on the east at 5000 per
acre.
The second deal is A. j. Buick
selling 800 acre Emmetsburg farm
at $3.50 per acre to Jacob Swigart
and taking back Swigarts 800 acre
farm, which was formerly Mr.. Blu
zick's place, at $21O per acre.
Mr.. Buick also purchased Jacob
Swigart's lao acre farm located four
miles south of harrisburg at $165
per acre.

$4,000. Our garbage collection
cost $4,000, which only applied to a
small portion of the city, whereas
now every house in the city has its
garbage removed once a week for a
sum a trifle less than $4,000.
"And I might incidentally re-
mark that the per capita bonded debt
of Springfield was reduced last year
from $46.24 to 1885 or $7.29 per
capita. But, during this period the
average per capita bonded debt of
the cities in Ohio increased from
$66.7S to $7196, which shows that
the Springfield per capita bonded
debt is today $33.O1 below the av-
erage in Ohio"

The Way it Works.

In Springfield, Ohio, they are op-
Grating the city under the manager
plan and at recent banquet in In
dianapolis, c. E. Ashburner, Spring
fields manager, told of the success
of the plan as follows:
ut may possibly be of some inter
est to you to know few facts bas-
ed upon the first years operations OF
the commission form of government
in Springfield. Springfield, on Jan
1, 1914, had a floating debt of some
100000 or more, which was paid
on last Saturday, Feb. 20. The op-
Grating expenses of Springfield last
year were $400,144, which was re-
duction of $4S,9S7, from the operat-
ing expenses of 1918, and few OF
the figures that went to make up this
saving are as follows:
"The general administration OF
the city, which consists of the city
commission, city manager, solicitor
auditor, treasurer, police court
judge, prosecutor, civil service COM
mission, and one or two incidentals
cost last year $36,524, which was a
saving of $1616 from the previous
year. The police department cost us
$3S,542, which was a saving of S..
AIS. In the fire department we ex'
pended 1888 or $2,056 less than in
1913.
"In the engineering department
we saved $4,192 from the previous
year, which amounted to 40 per cent
reduction although the duties of SUI
perintendent of street cleaning ant
repairing and general maintenance
work, the streets and sewers were
added to the duties of the chief Ell
gineer. We spent under the super
vision of this department som'
100000 at a cost of about IL pc
cent for engineering supervision. II
the street cleaning department ",
saved $S,SS1 out of $4,000 from tn
previous year, cleaning one-fourtl
more area than was cleaned for tn

Will Deliver Dedicatory Address.

Bishop Quayle, who recently lect-
ured in the Methodist church in
this city, will deliver the principal
address at the dedication of the new
Methodist church edifice in Fort
Dodge. The first week in May has
been selected for the dedicatory ex-
ercises. They will be begun on Sat-
urday and extend over until the Sec
ond Sunday following. On Sunday,
May End, Bishop Quayle will deliver
the main dedicatory address. 1t is
very likely that number of Web
ster City Methodists will attend some
of the services during the week.

Ways OF scouts
The Boys are Doing Many Commend.
able Things to the Credit
of Themselves.

A week or two ago, by request ant
without the knowledge of the scouts
Scoutmaster Murray McMurray gave
his boys blank cards and asked then
to make a note of their "good turns
daily" which is the motto of scout
Eighteen cards were handed in
and four of these had upon them the
expressive words "helped mother. u
Three or four had either washed or
wiped the dishes. Shoyeling side
walks was popular good turn. One
card had three good turns which
were a little different from the 9TH
ers. These were: Treated fam
lily with candy. made cake for
mother. 3-Lent boy a book when
1 wanted to use it myself. Another
card had four excellent good turns
upon it: 1-Carried suit case home
for Miss s.. 2-Carried some chick
en- feed home for Mrs. s.. g.
Helped my mother around the house.
4-Cracked some nuts for my moth
er to make cake. One card said, "a
lady called at home at p. m. to be
showed the way down town and I
took her." One card had among 9TH
er good turns-"Fired up for Mrs.
CT.
In these days of steam heat and
furnace heat, with city water in the
house and with gas ranges in the
kitchen, not a great deal remains to
be done around the city house by the
modern ten or twelve year old boy.
There is not always wood to carry,
kindling to split or water to get, but
most boys can put coal into the fur
mace, carry ashes and run errands
and the scouts are putting these time
honored duties into play, and
"playing the game" with great spir-
it.
Not few days ago, a scout car
ried a suit case for lady in this
city city for some distance and when
the destination was reached was Of
fered pay for his services. He re-
fused, saying, 81 am a scout, you
know!"
One scout upon a good turn card,
had an. eloquent sentence-"Went
to church on Thursday" He had
done what to him was disagreeable
duty for the sake of his mother or
Sunday school teacher-because he
was a scout.
The boy who "gave hungry
tramp my piece of chicken" was a
better boy for doing so, but was af-
ter all just being a scout and obey
ing scout rules. The boys who do
these good turns daily are forming
habits for life. The old adage about
the inclining of the twig is as good
today as it ever was and the grown
tree will prove it to be so.
