Webster City. May IA small IA
year old boy, Edward Rasmussen, ar
rived in this city from Copenhagen,
Denmark, having made the entire jour-
ney alone. He was we'll, happy and

name, are only old friends of the
other Rasmussen family In Denmark
their old home This lad sailed from
Copenhagen April Sth and landed in
New York April p, coming to Web
ster City soon after.
The opportunities for boys are so
many and so advantageous in Amer
lea, compared with those of Den
mark, that the boys parents were
constrained to send him here. 1t
must have been something of a strug
gle for the parents to- start lad of
such tender years on so long journey,
and only the thought for his future
welfare alone could have induced them
to do it.
Edward has already picked up sew
eral effective bits Of American speech
and will be placed in school for the
next few years to learn the language
and customs Of America. He was on
the street yesterday dressed in his
quaint old country clothes, but his
manners were refreshing to many who
have known American boys chiefly by
their absence of manners.

Tama. May THE cleanup cam
paign suggested and put into action
by the Tama Commercial Club has had
a very noticeable effect. There are
plenty of places that could well be i'm
proved yet, but the start made is en-
couraging to the committee and they
have determined to make a more
systematic campaign next year and try
to cover every part of the town so that
Tama may live up to its new reputa-
ton of being a clean town.
The most noticeable result of the
cleanup is in Oak Park. This is a
most beautiful spot covered with
natural forest trees and would be con-
sidered valuable asset by any city
but it has been entirely neglected by
our city councils for years until ii had
fallen into disuse. But thru the un-
aided efforts of one man. the park was
actually moved last year and this last
week it has had its first raking in
more than ten years Several trees
are yet to be thinned out to let the
better ones have full opportunity to
spread their beauty and the rest will
be trimmed so as TO make really
beautiful retreat. This will be
favorite spot for out of town picnickers
as there is city water and other con-
veniences at hand and as soon as pos
sble tennis courts are to be provided
as we'll as swings and other forms OF
amusement for the children. 1t is pos
sible that our present council will
wake up TO the possibilities of this
park and provide sufficient funds to
carry on the Improvement so well
started by a private citizen.
