FOR PRIDE AND GROOM.

Mr.. and Mrs. A. H. Greeley ell.
tertained company of twenty la
dies and gentlemen Friday evening
at their pleasant new home on west
Boone street, complimentary to Mr..
and Mrs. Bert Pierce, who were re-
Gently married. The affair was in
the nature of surprise, Mr.. and
Mrs. Pierce having been invited to
the Greeley home to spend the even
ing only to find on their arrival the
company of friends ready to greet
them. A large basket filled with
prettily wrapped packages was pre-
scented to them soon after their ar
rival and when opened a goodly dis
play of kitchen utensils was reveal
ed. The evening was devoted to
playing 500 and delicious lunch
con in two courses was also served.

zAPATA FORCES
CAPTURE CARA
Provisional President Reported
Taken to Morelos.

Washington, d. c., Jan. 20
Rogue Gonzales Cara, acting head
of the government at Mexico City,
whose flight from the capital was
officially reported to the state de-
partment yesterday by American
Consul Silliman, has been taken a
prisoner to Morelos by Zapata for
ces, according to advices to the Car
rama agency yesterday from San
Antonio.
State department advices said a
number of other officials accompan-
led Cara in his flight and that it
was the intention of the acting
head of the government to establish
a temporary seat at Cuernavaca, a
short distance south of the capital.
A dispatch to the Carranza
agency from Mexico City said the
Carranza troops were four miles
outside the city and that the Zapata
forces were evacuating, going to-
ward Cuernavaca.
Another report said Monterey
was occupied last night by Carranza
forces. Ell Paso informed the agency
that Villa forces admitted the loss
of fourteen cannon and field pieces
at the fall of Guadalajara.

BOB-RIDING PARTIES.

Friday evening the weather was
mild, the moonlight bright and
beautiful and different crowds OF
young people took advantage of this
state of affairs and spent the even
ing in bob-rides.
The Eltekas of the Methodist
church filled two bob sleds and a
delightful sleigh ride followed. AT
the conclusion of the ride the COM
pany stopped at the home of Misses
Fannie and Mamie Baxter where
games were played and social time
spent. Later an oyster stew was
served.
After the regular ceremonial
meeting last evening held weekly
by the Campfire Girls these young
ladies, in company with their guard
ian, Miss Margaret Hanrahan, and
Miss Marie Brown, left the home 81
their hostess, Miss Grace Crittenden,
for a bob ride, finally returning to
the Crittenden home where light re-
freshments were served and a short
time spent socially.
A good sized number Of high

any department, at any time, can
tell exactly where it stands. A
short time ago, it was found that
the revenues would fall forty per
cent below the estimates. 1t was
possible to make the cut in expenses
and have the entire matter readjust-
ed within two days.
The one element absolutely indis-
pensable in the success of the gov
eminent is the interest of the people
of the community. In this Mr..
Waite has been unusually success
full, due, probably, to the bigness of
his own personality, and a tireless
energy. Day and night he is con
the job,' and no complaint is too
small to receive his attention.

THE LOSERS ENTERTAIN.

For some time past contest OF
securing new members has been go
ing on in the Methodist church Bus
mess Mems class, taught by J. B.
Hughes. Friday night was the cui-
mination of this contest, the losing
side banqueting the winners in the
church basement. Probably forty
gentlemen were in attendance and
enjoyed a fine oyster supper. c. u.
Gustuson, chairman of the side
which lost in the contest, was the
first person to be introduced by the
POSTMASTER, Will Miller, and he re-
sponded with fine address of well
come to the many new members re-
Gently added to the class. Following
this talk interesting toasts were CIV
en- by J. B. Hughes, DR.. Ward Han
nah, w. o. Mcconnell and Walter
Terrell. Mr.. Hughes, who has been
teacher of this class for several
years, was presented a pretty gold
signet ring by those present as a
slight token of their appreciation OF
his years of faithful service to the
class. The evening was very en-
joyable one

PRENUPTIAL SHOWER.

The second of a number of pre-
nuptial showers was given for Miss
Ethel Zitterell, a February BRIDE
elect, Friday night when Miss Mary
Kearns entertained company OF
twelve young ladies at her home on
east Bank street. During the course
of the evening little Miss Margaret
Kearns brought in large dish pan
filled with numerous packages which
the little girl told Miss Zitterell to
open. Kitchen utensils of all de-
scriptions from her friends were in
cluded among the packages. Fancy
work and a general social time oc-
cupied the hours. Several flash
light pictures were taken and Miss
Kearns served delicious tray
luncheon.

! Lew Woolsey has had a remark
able experience in trying to gel
water on his farm near Homer, an(
most men would have given up the
attempt before this time. About
five months ago he commenced tc
sink a drilled well and the con-
tractors have been working every
since. The well is now down to the
depth of $50 feet, the last 100 feet
through solid rock, with no signs Of
water yet. They are still drilling,
however, and Lew says that he pro-
poses to get water or gas, or make a
hole in some Chinaman's back yard
before he quits.
Our friends of St. Paul's Luther
an church have ordered a bell for
their new church building which
they expect to hove in position in
the near future. 1t will weigh
100 pounds-two or three hun
dred pounds more than either of
the bells low in the city. The
Baptist bell, we believe, weighs
about nine hundred pounds, and the
Methodist bell eight hundred.
Church bells are tuned to the must
cal scale-the larger or heavier the
bell, the lower of course-the tone.
The new Lutheran bell will be tun-
ed in unison with the tone G in the
musical scale. Besides being al
needed convenience, the new bell
will be deep, sweet-toned affair.

INSTRUCTIONS FOR
TELEPHONE GIRLS
The State College at Ames Will Put
on Course for instruction of
Operators.

A dispatch sent out from Ames
announces the conducting of a new
course for young women in the state
college which will be greeted with
approval by the general public. 1t
is short course of instruction for
telephone girls. It takes time to
learn to be good telephone opera
tor and the time is usually spent IS
practicing upon long suffering
public the methods used in telephone
Offices. The establishment of such
a course will obviate the difficulty
experienced by both telephone girl
and patron and also save the tele-
phone companies money. Following
is the dispatch:
To save the temper of telephone
patrons the newest of short courses
is to be conducted for telephone
girls by the engineering extension
department of Iowa State college in
five Iowa cities, beginning February
Is.
Miss X. M. Gang, of Peoria, Ill.,,
for nine years chief operator of a
large exchange, and more recently
telephone efficiency instructor, will
have charge of such courses at Cres-
ton, Washington, Sac City, Iowa
Falls and Des Moines. Three days
will be spent in drilling the girls in
the local exchanges how to save
fractions of minutes in handling
calls, by using definite codes in an
swering calls; how to supervise
calls to see that the patron gets the
number called, and how to speed up
the whole system. Politeness is the
keynote of the codes.
instruction in one small detail
alone grasping the telephone plug
by the metal jacket, instead of the
cord, it is estimated, would save the
telephone companies of Iowa $1O,-

CITY Management Points.

Dependable Highways: The City
of Dayton, Ohio, saddled with the
heritage of disastrous flood, is try
ing out the latest thing in govern
ments. This is known as the Getty
manager" plan, and the world wide
interest focused on Dayton through
her misfortune is continued through
the novelty of her remedy.
The plan, as worked out in Day
ton, provides for the election Of five
non-partisan commissioners, who ap-
point a city manager. The mana
ger, with the consent and advice OF
the commissioners, appoints the
heads of the five departments pro-
vrded for in the city's charter, con-
esdsdr to be the most advanced in
ttis country. The charter provides
for the departments Of law, safety,
service, welfare and finance.
{ Henry Matson Waite is City Man
ager of Dayton, at a salary OF
Twelve thousand five hundred dol
lars a year. Mr.. Waite is forty
Ave years of age, a graduate civil
engineer, with a long experience In
practical and executive engineering
Before coming to Dayton he was
city engineer of Cincinnati under
Henry Hunts regime.
As heads of departments, Mr.
Waite has chosen men who are ex-

perts in their different lines. The
director of law is one of the fore
most members of his profession in
the city. He had no political con-
nections, nor debts to be paid. The
director of safety has not been ap-
pointed, and Mr.. Waite is acting in
the dual capacity of safety director
and city manager.
The director of service is an en-
gineer with a large experience in
municipal work. Backed by this
able personnel, Mr.. Waite has I'M
dertaken TO give Dayton a common
sense municipal policy. He is in
favor of continuous paved thorough
fares and beltlines through the city,
a1d does not approve the promis-
cuous improvement of unimportant
side streets. He advocates the per-
manent improvement of streets,
rather than a temporary treatment
of gravel or soft paving, which he
has found are the most eXtravagant
methods in the long run.
In the various street improve
ments, Mr.. Waite has arranged for
the city to borrow on the credit OK
uncollected assessments, and to pay
the contractors promptly. instead Of
forcing the contractor to borrow
money until all the official red tape
has been unwound. The city has
arranged system whereby they
borrow from the banks in anticipa-
ton of collection of assessments or
sale bonds.
Petitions of property owners call
ing for any particular kind of paw
ing are usually found to lead to
neighborhood differences, even quar-
rels, and it has been the Managers
policy to meet the demands Of the
nature of the improvement, rather
than the desires of property owners
who know little of respective values
in materials.
The Dayton charters creation OF
welfare department established a
precedent for that kind of work, as
very inadequate board Of health
had taken care of Dayton's santa
ton and health, previously. Prob
ably the good of the new order Of
things is most apparent in the fact
that the death rate of infants for
the months of June. July, August,
September and October was cut fifty
per cent.
The number of children's play
grounds has been increased fifty per
cent over last year. An immense
bathing beach was made and equip
ped at the city's park. Four hun
dred vacant lots were plowed by the
city and turned into community
| gardens. Interest in keeping the
alleys and streets clean was stimu-
lated through meetings with the
school children, and the formation
of the Civic Workers association.
The finance department OF the
city would be hard to distinguish
from a similar department in a mod
ern business concern. The charter
provides for continuous audit, and
