Slump in Auto Prices.

The selling price of the new 1916
model Hudson cars is $500 lower
than last years price--or $685.
which includes freight from Detroit
The price of the Packard has also
dropped $1,000. The selling price
of this, one of the finest cars made
is $4,000.
The drop in the price of the Over
land car is also very noticeable, the
new 1916 model, which corresponds
to the 1915 model and formerly sold
around s1115, is selling this year
for $3.50. There will be perhaps two
more models of this car in increased
horsepower which will be manufact-
ured to sell at higher figure, but
the drop on the standard cars keeps
pace with those of other factories.
The drop in prices is noticeable in
all the new models of cars and will
prove that there was much truth il
the predictions Of this spring, which
urged the purchaser to wait unit

ting his car.

The National Game.

Lee Shippey in Judge: For all
that, we love base ball. Even in
spite of the grandstand humorists,
we love it. 1t is our national game.
We feel that, since this country was
to give us baseball, our revolution
airy sires did not bleed and die in
vain.
Men have much reason to love
base ball. 1t gives them the chance
to admire skill, speed, strength,
nerve, courage and determination,
and to learn the latest slang and
most pepful repartee. It gives them
the chance to boldly abuse and in
suit other men without fear of con-
sequences and to exhibit their wit
before large crowds. 1t gives them
the chance to set up real heroes and
bow down to them. Statesmen are
corrupt, generals fight from their
tents, literary lions are pale, weak
bodies. But baseball heroes are real
heroes. And it-base ball-also
gives men the opportunity to be as
loud and silly and joyously unre-
pressed as they want to be, without
being laughed at.
Young women like baseball. too
and some of them understand it re-
markedly we'll. Some of them are
said to know the difference between
the pitcher and the umpire. There
is a legend that once there was a
young woman who could watch a
whole game without asking, What
are they doing now?" and tell which

NO Law AGAINST
sunday BASE BALL
Dunlap Ministers Oppose Game, but
Fans Win in Case Brought in
Logan, Iowa.

There has been more or less talk
of Sunday base ball in Webster City
but up to this time there has been
no effort to popularize the game up
on the Sabbath day. Public senti-
ment here is against it. but there
appears to be no law preventing Sum
day ball. A few days ago the minis
tiers Of Logan had a number of base
ball players Of Dunlap arrested for
playing in Logan on Sunday. The
trial was held before Justice Case
and after a trial lasting all day he
decided in favor of the defendants.
1t was charged that the players dis
turbed the peace and that they play
ed ball on Sunday, but the court
held that the defendants were not
guilty of disturbing the peace and
that there is no law to prevent play
ing of ball so long as the game is
conducted in an orderly manner.

They are Coming.

Des Moines Capital: Before go
ing to the war zone the editor OF
The Capital did not believe that at
the conclusion Of peace between the
warning countries there would DE a
large immigration to the United
States. He knew the strong attach
ment which all the European PEG,
pies have for their country, and felt
that the people in the countries
which had been practically destroy
ed by the war would be ambitious tc
remain for the purpose of assisting
in the rebuilding. But in these re-
spects he has changed his mind. He
came home on a Holland-AmeriCan
steamer, sailing from Holland, and
he found that 90 per cent of the pas
sengers, outside of the first class list
of eighty, were foreigners and theil
families getting to the United States
in order to find home and peace.
There were some noisy enemies OF
America in the list of first class
passengers, but there were none such
in the second cabin and the steer
age. These solid men and womer
stood on the forward bow of the yes
sci looking with silent wonder ant
admiration on the great New Yorl
buildings and harbor, feasting theil
eyes on the famous Statue of Liberty
which stands in the harbor. Thes,
foreign working men and womer

side won at the end. But that is be-
lieved to have been written by
Grimm. Young women do not care Sc
much for base ball if they have to
buy their own tickets. But if you
suggest taking one, she just dotes on
the game. A woman always gets
some enjoy ment out of seeing her es-
cort spend money for her, no matter
what it is for.
It is not always wise to take a
young woman to the ball game, no
matter how she dotes on it She may
not notice the difference when they
stop batting up flies and begin the
game. She may think the pitcher
and catcher are playing against each
other, and complain because one of
them does not quit and give that
cute fellow with such a jaunty air a
turn. She may mistake the catch
er's breast protector for porous
plaster. But she will notice, with
an ever growing admiration, the
grace, sureness and swiftness of the
we'll conditioned men on the field.
After which she is likely to size you
up and decide you won't do.
A lot of fine points about health,
happiness and success might be gain
ed from base ball-if most Of us
weren't so good at muffing them.

RAILROAD EARN
|NCS ON INCREASE
Business is Greatly Improved-Not
Necessary to Charge More
for Fares.

Last winter and fall the railroads
of Iowa were busily engaged trying
to make the people Of Iowa believe
they were being hard pressed to
make both ends meet and that they
should be permitted to increase pas
senger fares to two and one-half
cents per mile. They circulated pc
titions in many towns, Webster City
among them, asking the legislature
to grant an increase. Many people
here signed these petitions. But fort
unately the legislature refused the
increase and the reports just issu-
ed upon earnings and expenses show
that the roads are doing well.
The roads show an increase OF
S2,134,3S2.3 in gross earnings in
1914, according to the reports filed
with A. H. Davidson, secretary of the
state executive council. These state
ments were tabulated yesterday and
will be used as the basis for read
justing the assessments in July.
The total revenue of the steam
roads last year was sS9,950,215.60.
For 1913 the total earnings amount
ed to $S7,S15,SS3.3O Operating ex-
penses were reduced S294,111.S2,
and taxes were increased $751;

Supt. Kelly at Alden.

Supt. d. NJ. Kelly of this city de-
livered the address of the evening at
the recent commencement of the Al"
den high school. The Alden Times
says of Prof. kelly's address:
Supt. Hanson introduced the
speaker of the evening, Supt. d. NJ
Kelly. of the Webster City schools
who spoke on the subject, THE Cos
pei of Work" Beginning with the
statement that activity is the law OF
life, and rest the law of death, Mr.
Kelly emphasized the thought that
each individual is a part of the Crea-
tors plan of the universe and as
such has a distinct mission in life to
perform. He gave it as his opinion
that idleness is the greatest curse OF
modern society and the father of a
whole brood Of evils.
He plead with the parents to be-
gin early enough in the life of a
child to teach him filial respect and
obedience so that it need never be
necessary for them to say to the
teacher: "My boy is getting beyond
me, I no longer am able to control
him."
The gospel of work also teaches
faith in work and humanity. His
closing admonition to the class was:
DO the work you are called upon tc
do a little better than any one else
no matter how humble a position you
may fill" The address was filled
with historic illusions and apt il.
Illustrations, as we'll as sound advice
and was delivered in forceful man
ner, holding the attention of the
large audience to the close.

If he survives the battles. Let us
