KITE TOURNAMENT
IS INTERESTING
George Mertz Scores High With Ten
Points-Don Doty Stands
. Second. nn

Friday afternoon at 4:l5
o'clock the kite tournament, looked
forward to by many of the boy
scouts, took place on the vacant lots
Just north of the Curtis greenhouse
in the southwest part of the city.
About seventy-five people were pres
ent to watch the endeavors of the
boys to fly the kites. There were fiji
teen or twenty entries in the tourna-
ment and all kites were judged by
Prof. Conlee of the manual training
department of the high school, upon
their workmanship and ability to
stay in the air. One at a time the
kites were tried out, and only one
or two refused to mount up into the
sky.
The boy who carried off the hon
ors-George Mertz--scored 10,
which was a perfect score upon the
workmanship of his kite. 1t was
about three feet high and was
three stick kite 1t was perfectly
made and scared right up into the
sky like a bird, and stayed there.
Don Doty scored second with 91a
on his kite, which was all right as
to workmanship, but darted around
like swallow in the sky, and the
half-point was lost on this account.
Kenneth Neel and Earl Omstead
both tied for third place with score
of 9. Kenneth Neel had box kite
which was we'll made, but was too
heavy for the slight wind to carry.
All the other kites entered were
three stick kites and after they had
all been tried out, they We're all
flown at once for about half hour.
No prizes were offered, but the
tournament was held for the pure
love of the sport, which has been UNI
usually popular this spring.

Special Services.

A neat and attractive folder was
sent out last week by the Rev. E. G.
Hay to all members of the English
Lutheran church and congregation
expressing the desire that each may
have a very happy Easter, and suS-
costing courses of action adapted to
produce it. Chief among these will
be attendance upon all the special
services of Holy Week, leading W
to Easter day, and those of the day
itself. as announced in the regular
church notice elsewhere.

Fort Dodge and Booze.

L
City, Iowa.-G What is
the matter with Fort Dodge? One
who goes to Fort Dodge and stays for
a short time and is used to other
towns, cannot but help notice some
thing out of the ordinary with TT.
Dodge. ~
With splendid hotels and business
houses, together with above the av-
erage wealth among it's people, one
has right to expect bigger and bet
ter things of Fit. Dodge. The matter
with Ft. Dodge is 'booze."
Coming in over any road on che
trains, you will see old topers and
promising young men who are out
for lark. Going out in the morn
ing over all roads and all trains you
will see these same men in the most
bedraggled condition and drunk. So
drunk that the railway officials in
many instances refuse to take them
aboard. The railway conductors
however, stretch a point in favor OF
the drunken men, and will go furth-
err than the law allows to get them
out of and away from the hell holes
of FIT Dodge.
Is it possible that the business
men of Fort Dodge look with favor
on this degradation for the purpose
of possibly selling pair of rub
Der boots or jacket to these poor
boys? 1t is hard to believe that good
business men and protested Chris
tians are so blind that they cannot
see that the situation in TT. Dodge
as it now is, is an everlasting shame
to the city.
Do the people of Ft. Dodge stop tt
think about the anguish they hell
perpetuate for wives, mothers ant
sisters? I came out of FIT. Dodge OF
the morning of the 18th inst whe1

lived there. They had come dow
the night before. How do you sup
pose the mothers of those boys fel
the night they knew their boys wer
in Ft. Dodge? How about and wha
excuse can the authorities produc
for the shameful condition on tn
streets on Saturday, the 18th, whe
it was hardly safe for lady to b
out on the sidewalk on account 9
drunks. Has it come to this, tina
for the almighty dollar the people c
Fl. Dodge will tolerate such NUS
ance? To a man travelling throug
and casually seeing these things,
looks bad. What is the matter wit
Fit. Dodge? L. ]. Tjernagel.

the Moonbeam might have waved
her wand and turned us all into splr
it's. too, SO enchanting was the ap'
narition, The costume of the fairy
was all gauze and silver and sheen
which with a silver crown and stal
in front and her golden hair floating
over the gauzy vestments, left moth
ing to be desired in giving picture
of the most beautiful fairy one could
imagine. Her two especial attend
ants, little Genevieve Hawkes. and
Helen Reed, were indeed fairies in
miniature.
The important accessory OF the
villain was Saucer Eyes, the Wizard
Cat. who had once been nice good
cat, as good as gold, so he sang, but
he fell in love, pussy rejected him,
and he was now just as bad as bad
could be. He was arrayed in cat
like garb and with bowed back and
sinuous motion, he appeared upon
the stage, very clever interpreta-
ton of the human feline. This diff
ficult part was carried by Miles Lor-
ing and it is safe to say that Web
ster City could not produce another
pupil who could play the cat as well
as Miles did. His chorus of attend
ant sprites, arrayed in vivid red cos
tunes and caps, lent much life to the
scene. Their singing and antics pro-
voked a gale of laughter, and their
ready responses to Saucer Eyes be-
trayed wonderful obedience IN a
bunch of boys whose special activi-
ties seemed to have been always
along the lines of elasticity. Such
rolling and tumbling and bouncing,
and such a chorus of "meows" and
"spits" was never before seen out
side of real catdom.
The princess was attended by four
beautiful maidens who ably assisted
her and wildly mourned her loss
These maidens were Mildred Hoot,
Ruth Maxson, Fennette Fassett and
Mildred Boysen, all of whom carried
their parts with distinction.
The chorus work, the singing,
harmony and acting, was exception
al, and the final chorus, where the
whole cast appeared on the stage,
making over one hundred individual
actors-a panorama OF japanese
fairies and sprites-was a fitting
close for one of the prettiest and
most musical productions ever pre-
sented by the young people Of this
city.
The improvised dance and Japan
ese song-pure Japanese-for no one
could tell what else it was, given by
Harold Lane and Cecil Tormey was
real surprise to the audience

drill, added beauty, rhythm and ac-
ton to the whole.
The enjoyment of the operetta was
much augmented by the catchy airs
rendered so ably by Louise Swanson
at the piano and Rosalind Cook with
the violin. They played during the
performance and also during the in
terludes.
Many compliments are due Miss
Edith r. Lee, who, as musical di'
rector, took these diversified parts
and put them together into so com
prehensive a whole that any school
more pretentious and much larger
than that of Webster City, might bt
proud to have produced such an op
eretta.

Z ONG before it was ever dreamed
that the North Side Tract

= ONG before it was ever dreamed
IL that the North Side Tract
would become a highly devel-
oped farming country this locality
was devoted to stock raising, but on
a far different plan and scale than at
present Forty years ago drifting,
scattered herds of cattle kept dolor-
GUS company with the coyotes and
managed to subsist on the scanty
heritage growing amidst the sage
brush, which was sufficient while
there was still a minimum of range
and a minimum of stock. But their
time was short. Bands of sheep which
later poured into this country and
for which conditions were more fav-
orable, took their place, and continue
even today to occupy a foremost rank
in local stock raising. Perhaps the
days of the range sheep, too, are
numbered. If, as we hope, the open
country of Southern Idaho is soon to
be almost entirely preempted by
farms, this branch of the sheep bust
ness will be limited to the mountains,
which will materially diminish its
extent, and the raising of sheep will
then be confined largely to the indi-
vidual farms in units comprising a
smaller number but finer quality OF
animals.
Where feed can be grown so cas-
lily and in such abundant yields as on
the North Side, stock raising is bound
to develop into an industry of para
mont Importance. There is no kind
of feed crop that cannot be success
fully grown here. Alfalfa and clover
hay are our best producing and sur
est crops, and are just the crops re-
quired to put the raw soil in proper
condition and keep it so. In rotation
with these forage crops abundant

the very highest type of draft stock.
These we're drawn from a narrow cir
Gle around the town of Jerome, which
is fairly representative of the entire
tract.
The heavy draft horse, while of
outstanding Importance locally, does
not, however, usurp the entire field.
The lighter coach types have a good
representation and are being looked
upon with more and more favor. The
Hambeltonian breed of harness hors-
es, also, contribute a considerable
number to the total, although it must
be admitted that the advent of the
auto has not been very favorable to
the extension of this branch of horse
breeding. Mules are not utilized to
any considerable extent on the tract
as yet, although the few that we
have are good specimens.
No branch of the live stock indus

strains are being developed from
them. Not everyone of our farmers,
it is true, has had the necessary ex-
perience to enable him to breed in
telligently for a constantly improv-
ing type. but we have been fortunate
in having a few experienced stock
men from the very beginning and a
general knowledge of right princi-
pies of breeding to maintain the vi
tally and improve the quality of the
herd is being gradually dissent
mated with beneficial results.
To those of us who lived on the
tract in the days of the "tin cow
when even the picture of real COW
was a grateful sight, and when we
were obliged to insult our cereals
and our stomachs daily with loath-
some connection of water and con-
densed milk in the proportion of 16
to 1. the growth of the dairying in
Lincoln County times. (Jerome, Idaho) 1911-1919, 1915-02-18

yields Of wheat, oats, and barley can
be obtained so that one farm can pro-
duce in maximum yields all of the
feed crops that go to make up a well
balanced ration for every kind of
stock. Hay crops are too bulky to be
probably handled for shipping ex
cept under the mos favorable .'ondi-
tions. and the grain market while
excellent just at the present time, is
not always favorable to the producer
at the time when he is compelled to
make a turn to raise some money.
The live stock market on the other
hand is active practically all the time
with the prevailing prices high, and
even when low, sufficiently high to
yield the producer larger returns
from his stock than the fatteners
would have brought him marketed
as grain or hay. AS a general propo-
sition it may be said that finished
stock can be disposed of profitably at
any time of the year. The market
tiuctuates, of course, but the stock
mans chief worry is not whether or
not he will market at a profit, but
whether or not he might not market
at little greater profit by waiting
awhile. Another important consid-
Grafton that argues forcibly for the
feeding of stock locally on each farm
is soil economy-the restoring to the
soil of organic elements which are
necessarily depleted by the growing
crops, and which would be a perma-
nent loss if the entire product of the
farm were carried away.

fish buyer and sent to Europe to
charge the Germans. Not a few
have been headed that way from
this locality recently, and the de-
mand is still unsupplied. This drain
is not to be in any case deplored,
however, as it will simply rid us of
nuisance and hasten the time when
no stock but the very best will be
tolerated
Three thousand head of work
horses are on the tract at the present
time, and the big majority are of the
very best draft type. "Pelters" are
not in keeping with the North Side
idea. During the first years when
good work animals were such a scar
city it was natural that the price
should be high, but even at the pres
ent time the increase in numbers has
not been sufficient to overtake the de-
mand, and prices are still at a very
respectable level. 1t does not take
an exceptional team of mares to
bring $500, and there are many
teams on the tract that would bring
twice the amount. while an average
team of geldings sells around $500.
The increasing local interest in the
breeding of draft stock of quality was
strikingly evidenced by the large
number of animals which were ex-
hibited at the Jerome Fair and Field
Day held last fall, when with only a
few days advertisement and for a
single days exhibition there were
brought into the show ring six stall
lions and more than thirty mares of
