II - T. Nh t-I
Y In Difference, to general orders of
the department Commander and the
wishes of Winfield Scott post No. &C.,
G. A. R., hereby designate Monday,
May 31st, 1915, for the observance
of memorial day services and trust
all loyal citizens will assist in it's
proper observance. 1t is suggested
that the day be given over to respect
for the things it commentaries.
P. M. Banks, Mayor.
This action by the mayor is nee
essary because memorial day this
year falls on Sunday and he had to
choose between Saturday and Mon
day. The Freeman-Tribu1e believes
the people of the town especially
will prefer Monday and it can make
no difference to the rural population.
The observance of memorial day has
become a nationwide custom and it
is one of the best customs of the
times. Let everybody join in the OBJ
servance of the occasion and devote
one day to the consideration and
memory Of those who served the
country so we'll during the darkest
days of our national life.

Jewell Lets Contract.

Jewell Record: The council
awarded the contracts Monday night
for the construction of the propos-
ed new sanitary system and dispos-
al plant that is to be built this sum-
mer. The contracts went in three
sections, as advertised, the total
amount of the three contracts being
s14,07S.94. The engineers esti-
mate of the cost of the work in
volved in these three contracts was
a little over seventeen thousand dol
lars, the figures secured by the coun-
Gil being better than three thousand
less than the amount estimated.
There were over a dozen bidders in
town to submit bids on the job and
during the past week the ground
had been pretty thoroughly tested
out by bidders anxious to find out
what sort of soil they would be ex-
pected to dig in if they landed the
contracts. Two bids that were sub
mitted were not given consideration
by the council at all because of the
contractors failing to submit proper
ly certified checks with their bids.

MANAGER HOLM IS
ON THE GROUND
Arrives in the City to get Things in
Shape for the Base Ball "
Season.

Webster City's new base ball field
manager, Conrad Holm, arrived in
town yesterday to take up the work
of getting matters in line for the
opening of the ball season in this
city on the oath of the present
month, when the big opening day
will be celebrated.
Mr.. Holm brought Otto Vogel with
him. Mr.. Vogel has been with the
Three-I League for seven years and
is a fast second baseman. He will
take the place of Thompson, who
was originally slated for this posi-
ton. Two catchers have been sign
ed up by Manager Holm, one of
whom is we'll known to local fans.
This is Kern, who was with Fort
Dodge last year. Three pitchers
have also been secured by Manager
Holm, although it is not yet def
nitely known whether one of the
three will be a permanent fixture on
the local pitching staff. They are
Geo. Wheeler, who was with Center
vile last year; Wallie Ellert, with
Storm Lake last season, and Palmer
of Grinnell college, who was the
strongest twirler Mason City had
last year. Palmer is considered the
best college pitcher in the state.
All of the team will be here next
Monday with the exception of two
college men, who will join the local
lineup a little later.
These glorious and effulgent sun
shiny days are thawing out the base
ball microbe in an astonishing man
ner and the fans are getting very
anxious to hear the familiar and
thrilling call of the ump-"Play
