" Association
FLAG RAISING FRIDAY
Impressive Ceremonies Attended For
NAL Dedication Of This Banner
Given BY County Odd
Fellows

A flag purchased with the money
presented by the Lee County Odd Eel
lows association is doing duty in
front Of the Odd Fellows Orphans
home at Mason City. The money for
the purchase of an American emblem
for the home was presented the mat
ron at the meeting OF the association
at Viewer last September On last
Friday a formal flag raising ceremony
was observed, and the Lee county flag
is now dedicated for use over the Or
phan's home building.
Mrs. John G. Scott, former presi-
dent OF the Rebekah assembly and a
nlssmber of the advisory board was
present at the ceremonies. The oc-
casion was the annual homecoming
and picnic Of the Odd Fellows and
Rebekahs.
There is pretty bit of sentiment
connected with the flag in the fact
that the Mrs. j. w. Lewis, the mat
ron Of the Orphans home was a Lee
county resident before she went to
Mason City. Her home was at Mont
rose.

Must Find a Market.

In addition to the foregoing and
quite as essential are two other ques-
tons, namely, the market for hydro
electricity and the federal laws per
uniting water power construction. AZ
to the market question, the unsup-
piled market in the territory would
not of itself justify the 2 canyon de-
velopment. A large supplementary
new market must be located and fan
anced in such a manner as to be
ready to pay for considerable part OF
the current produced when it is ready
for consumption.
ON the second difficulty Of fedora
law, the way the statutes now provide
1t is impossible to finance new water
power projects, however attractive
they may otherwise be.

Citizenship Rights Of

Washington. D. c., Nov. 12.-Citi-
zenship rights of American women
who marry foreigners but who con-
tinue to live in the United States was
placed to-day before the Supreme
Court for decision. Emphasis was laid
on the Importance of the case because
of the war.
Mrs. Ethel G. Mackenzie, of Cali
fornia. wife of Gordon Mackenzie, a
British subject. who has resided in
California ever since his marriage, was
attacking through attorneys the at
tempt to make applicable to her the
e&patriation act passed by Congress in
1907. Election officials in San Fran
cisco refused to permit Mrs MacKen-
zie to register on the ground that she
had become a British subject by rea-
son Of her marriage. She resorted to
the state courts for writs to compel
the officials to permit her. to register,
claiming that the act of Congress did
not apply to women remaining in this
country, and that it was unconsti-
tutional. She was denied the writs
and appealed to the Supreme Court.

Fire Marshal VIII

State Fire Marshal J. L. Baldwin to-

tions into fires which have occurred
this week in plants engaged in the
manufacture of munitions or supplies
for nations at war. Reports on every
fire of a suspicious nature have been
received and to-day an inspector was
detailed to go to Bethlehem. An
other will be sent to Eddystone to-

been active in the western and central
parts of the State where fires have oc-
CURED in powder and similar plants.
In addition the fire marshal has
certified to the attorney general
names of owners of buildings in sew
eral counties which have been con-
sidered fire hazards and which owners
have declined to remove. None of
these buildings, however, is in neigh
borhoods of plants manufacturing
munitions, but are separate actions.

APPLICATIONS TO
BE FILED EARLY
T
Cunningham Makes Announce
ment Again Concerning the
Automobile Tags

Applications for 1916 licenses are
coming into the State Highway De-
partment in great numbers but State
Highway Commissioner Cunningham
day issued a statement in which he
again called upon owners and opera
tors of automobiles to get their appli-
cations for license tags in at an early
date. The statement particularly
urged those owners operating five or
more cars to hurry tnelr applications
along. Prompt action by these owners
will do away with much Of the con-
gestion which has arisen In previous
years in the Automobile Division OF
the State Highway Department.
Another class of owners to whom
the Commissioner particularly ad-
dressed his appeal are those operating
jitneys. The enormous increase in au-
tomobile traffic in congested centers
the last year is due largely to the op-
Grafton of jitneys, causing the state
Highway missioner to lay great
stress on this in the statement Issued
to-day.
While the statement is so worded as
not to express threats of what will be
done to those who fail to make their
applications in time, yet, the commits
sioner made it plain that rigid en-
forcement of the provisions of the au-
tomobile act would be undertaken and
that those who neglect to apply for IL
censes need expect no leniency.

at Horse Show

Dame Fashion has made up her
mind regarding the time and place
that the public shall have it's first pub
lie view of what to wear" this COM
ing winter. Having TO dress the four
seasons, as 1t were, is rather a task.
There must be morning things, after
noon attire and evening dress-all in
readiness, like a Christmas tree, be-
fore the season enters. Preparing for
winter means having a wardrobe on
display quite early in November. But
where?
Scanning the calendar of events,
Dame Fashion observed that the only
smart show in New York, with a lot
going on to attract society mornings.
afternoons and evenings, will be the
Horse Show at Madison Square Gar
den, from November 6 to IL. The
fashionable dame consulted Beau
Brummel and both agreed nothing
could be more satisfactory.

of the first public showing of authentic
styles for winter. In other years Paris
set the day and cut the cake for each
