$4,000 WORTH OF
TILE NOW ON HAND
Continued Wet Weather Prevents its
Use by Ditchers-It is ALI
Sold.

The National Sewer Pipe company
has it's disadvantages to cope with
along with the rest of the business
interests Of the city when the rainy
season continues from week to week,
Just now the company has about
100000 worth of tile at the factory
awaiting a season of dry weather Sc
it may be shipped out and used. This
is all sold, but the long continued
wet season makes it impossible for
tilers to get into the bitches tc
work, hence delays the shipment OF
the tile to it's destinations. Howev-
er, the experience many farmers are
having this year will eventually in
crease the demand for tile, as many
farms that were supposed to be prop
erly tiled have been shown to be 9th
erwise. A large majority of these
farms will receive more tile in the
future.

Several improvements have been
made in the Shipley & Black dry
goods store in the past week. Four
large $50 candle power electric
lights have been placed, the lights
shaded with inverted globes. One
lamp has been placed in the suit de-
partment and the others in the piece

dow on the north has had scenic
back ground painted-the work OF
the store decorator, Rasmus Peter

shifting one and may be moved
about. The north display window
will soon be boxed and made frost
proof and the annoyance which has
been occasioned by this will be elm

The Children's Meeting.
From Saturdays Daily:

from saturdays DAILY:
The children's meeting at the
Christian church yesterday after
noon was largely attended, the chill
dren entirely filing the main audi
forum and all standing room also
being taken. The half hours talk
by the singing evangelist, Mr.. Ride
nour, was called a "String Talk. 3"
Each child had been requested to
bring piece of string as long as
they were tall. They were then in
structed by demonstration how
strong is habit in children. Easy to
break when not very long, but the
longer it is, the harder to break
when bound by it. Good habits, it
was shown, were as hard to break
as bad ones and the general talk was
very interesting one. Songs were
sung by each school represented, the
east and west ward schools and the
central schools participating.

ILLINOIS CENTRAL
HAS DEMONSTRATION
In Campaign to Reduce Expendi'
ture for Coal-Make a Great
Saving in Fuel.

A fuel demonstration car passed
through Webster City Friday on
the way to Fort Dodge to hold
classes in fuel economy and care OF
the tractive power Of the road. The
car is in charge of j. w. Dodge and
O. l.. Lindrew, who are accompanied
upon this division by the division
travelling engineer, S. M. Chapman.
Some idea Of the scope OF the work
the fuel demonstration car is doing
may be CLEANED by figures furnished
by the Illinois Central company. In
1912 the Illinois Central alone used
100000 tons of coal. 1t was in
that year that the work Of organic
ed economy of fuel began. Then
firemen were using 249 pounds OF
coal per thousand ton miles. In the
year 1914, after three years work,
with bigger engines and heavier
equipment, the fremen were using
only 1875 pounds per thousand ton
miles. This has been further reduc-
ed since the closing of the fiscal
year in June, for in August the fire.
men used 1855 pounds per thousand
ton miles.
Mr.. Dodge does not ask for any
great saving by individual firemen
but asks each to save a little. Ell
you can make nineteen scoops de
what you formerly made twenty do
you will save over half a million
tons on the whole system. If each
of the $4,000 employees saved one
pound q month there would be thir

A. v. DRAKE VISITS
INTERNATIONAL FALLS
Tells Many Interesting Things Con-
corning Manufacturing Dis
trict There.

A. w. Drake returned Friday
from trip to international Falls
Mimi, which is located right on the
Canadian line. After leaving Min
neapolis the traveller goes through
200 miles of timber and the sights
seen by Mr.. Drake while up in this
country are indeed interesting to
hear about. Rainy" river, 90 call
ed by the Indians in bygone days, is
located near Rainier and Internation-
al Falls. It is a half mile wide and
very deep, the shallowest place be-
ing 10 feet deep. A new draw
bridge, costing approximately ST.
100000, has just been completed ov-
er this river. This is but one Of the
many improvements made in this
part of the country during the last
several years. Eight years ago In
ternational Falls was practically I'm.
known. 1t was 40 miles from the
nearest railroad. Now the town has
a population of 10000, is built up
with many fine churches, school
houses, electric plant, many mills
and buildings Of every description.
Five railroads run into the place
and five more railroads go within
two miles of the city. While there
Mr.. Drake went through the paper
mills. These mills-two of them
cost $22,500,000. They are practic-
ally the same size. One is on the
American side and the other on the
Canadian side Of the Falls and riv-
er. They turn out AZ carloads of
paper day, twelve carloads a week
going to Des Moines. The paper
mills are controlled by the Curtis
Publishing Co. of Philadelphia, pub
fishers of the Ladies Home Journal,
Saturday Evening Post and the
Country Gentleman. The mills are
two Of the largest paper mills in the
world.
Two of the largest saw mills in
the world are located at Internation-
al Falls and the largest Touring mill
in the world is now in the course of
construction at that place. Aside
from the great milling industries
carried on there they ship two car
loads of fish week from that point,
caught in "Rainy" river and in the
great number Of lakes around there.
The place can furnish work for
many men. In fact, help Is SO scarce
that advertisements have been in
serted in papers and handbills got
ten out making known the need Of
5000 men to work in the lumber
camps, railroad construction work,
ditch digging and road making in
that county. Mr.. Drake says high
wages are paid in all branches Of
the work named.

ANNIVERSARY SALE
NOW IN PROGRESS
Brief History Of One Of Webster
City's Successful Mercantile
Establishments.

The anniversary sale is now il
progress at the Big Store. A Free
man Tribune reporter visited tn
store this morning and elected ;
little history Of this concern
which puts on an autumn anniver
sary sale every year.
Fourteen years ago last August
J. B. Hughes and C. H. Richesor
came to this city from State Center
and bought out small stock of no
tions owned by Fred German, now Of
Des Moines. This stock was located
in the building now occupied by the
McFarlane notion stock. The new
firm added shoes to the notions and
later bought half interest in the
August Witte grocery, in partner.
ship with E. w. Bunker, now OF
Sioux City.
The firm merged the two stocks,
running the grocery where the OLE
son jewelry store now is, together
with the notion store on the north
side Of the street. The combined in
terests were managed in this man
ner for two years, when the stocks
were merged with hardware stock
owned by J. B. Huff, and furniture
stock owned by H. P. Davis. The
firm then comprised J. B. Hughes,
G. H. Richeson, E. w. Bunker, H. P.
Davis and J. B. Huff. That was elev-
en- years ago and the combined
stocks were removed to the building
on the south side of Second street,
now occupied by the Latimer store,
the Royal Cafe and the Ferndell
grocery. /
To the dry goods notion stock was
added piece goods and ready-to-wear
garments, which in addition to the
other stocks, made the store really a
department store. Two years after
the firms removal to this location,
H. P. Davis sold his interest and the
company bought his stock. Shortly
after this E. w. Bunker also with
drew and the company also bought
his stock.
J. B. Huff passed away couple of
years later and one year after his
death the remaining members of the
company, consisting Of Messrs.
Hughes and Richeson, bought his
stock.
From a small notion store has
grown a business which is now one
of the largest mercantile pursuits in
the city. Less than a year ago, the
building now occupied by the Big
Store was bought and the lower
floor entirely remodelled. The loca-
tion is a very desirable one and the
lighting of the different sections of
the store inferior to none. Large,
light, we'll heated and ventilated,
the concern attracts the attention of
strangers in the city by its metrop-
olitan air and receives a patronage
more than county wide.

Webster iCty grocers and butchers
anticipated at the outbreak of the
war in Europe that the imported dill
pickle would be a thing Of the past
for this city at least, until the war
was over. The finest dill pickles
have always been made in Germany
and imported to America by way Of
Italy, reaching us by the southern
route. Since the battles Of the OAR
denelles that way of transportation
has been closed for Germany but
pickles have been coming, and con-
tinue to arrive-by way, however,
of Norway and Sweden.

attacked the fuel pile as the place
for economy is explained by the
statement that the coal bill was the
second largest expense of the COM
pany, wages being first.
The car is covering the entire IL
linois Central system. It has been
on the road three years this fall,
stopping at every division point and
holding classes.
The Fuel Demonstration Car is a
