Miscellaneous Program.

Bess Gearhart Morrison, who was
the star attraction in her line on the
Webster City Chautauqua program
of 1914, has been secured by the
Methodist church in this city for an
evenings entertainment on Wednes-
day evening, Oct. goth. Mrs. Nor
rison will give a miscellaneous pro-
gram calculated to amuse and en-
terrain mixed audience. She is a
reader Of great versatility, delight
fully different from the common
trend of readers. She is known from
coast to coast for her wit, as we'll as
'pathos, in the rendition Of stories,
both humorous and sentimental. Her
personality, her power of express
sion, her technique, naturalness and
cleverness, mark her as one of the
greatest elocutionists of the day.
Those who we're fortunate enough to
have heard Mrs. Morrison two years
ago in this city will read with great
pleasure of her return engagement
here.

Asks Return of $4,000.

Fl. Dodge Messenger: Charles o.
Ryan, trustee of the estate of the
Farmers Bank of Radcliffe and John
and Henry D. Himmel, bankrupts,
today filed suit in federal court
against the Hamilton County State
Bank at Webster City. The trustee
asks for the return of $4,000 worth
of property he says the Himmels
transferred to the bank four months
before they filed a petition in bank
ruptcy at Cedar Rapids May 10,
1914. He declares that when the
transfers were made, the @Iimmel
brothers already were insolvent. The
trustee says in the petition that the
Messrs. Himmel owed the Webster
City bank $4,000.

Growing an Acre of Corn.

Nonpareil: About three thousand
Iowa boys have been engaged dur
ing the past summer in the acre corn
growing contest put on by the ex-
tension department Of the state col
lege.
The season has not been favorable
for exceptional records in this work.
Some of the boys may regard their
effort as an almost complete failure,
especially if their corn was caught
before maturity by frost. But it is
mistaken notion to assume that
the failure or success of a work of
this kind must rest solely on the re-
suit. The number Of bushels of corn
produced is only an incident in the
program; the chief end to be gained
is education-the requirement of
knowledge concerning the secrets of
corn growing which nature is ready
to reveal to intelligent observers. 1t
is barely possible that the best les
son which many of these youthful
corn growers will get in this work
will be that which comes from hav-
ing their immature corn nipped by
frost.
Boys and girls today are literally
submerged in a sea of wonderful op-
portunity. The one supreme need
in this connection is a developed
power of understanding and appre-
citation. These corn growing con-
tests may form the point of contract
between the mind Of the contestant
and the opportunities which sur
round him. They are designed fol
this purpose. There ought to be
thirty thousand boys engaged in
this work in Iowa next year.

Discuss Manager Plan.

Waterloo Courier: The city
Manager Plan of Administering
Municipal Affairs as a substitute
for the present form Of government
in Waterloo met with general favor
at the open forum conducted by the
Fortnightly club in the First Con-
gregational church last night. Fol-
lowing a comprehensive exposition
of the plan by Judge c. w. Mullan,
the strong and weak features of the
proposition were discussed by those
present with the result that the
strong points were so numerous that
it was the general consensus of opin-
ion that the reform would be prefer
able to continuing under the present
system.
DR.. E. E. Peek, secretary of the
committee which was responsible fol
the birth of the measure in Water
loo, led the discussion. He said, 81
believe the time is ripe to establish
the city manager plan of govern
ment in order to secure more eff
licent city government and to have
better Fairgrounds, parks, roads ant
things a city should have without
taxation. In 1904 the tax
levy in Waterloo was 60 mills, while
lin 1914 it had been increased to 104
mills
Judge Franklin c. Plat, who with
Judge Mullan had drafted the bill
declared: "The story of the city
manager plan is that great affairs
and small are usually put into the
hands of honest, capable and effic-
lent men who know how to handle
them. Under the present plan, pol
Iitics interferes with efficient work
When l served on the city council
didn't know any more about the job
II was elected to fill than a school
boy. I make no charges against our
public officials, but there are very
few who have had any education
along the lines they are expected to
work. Without any disparagement
to our mayor, will ask how many
of our very best men want the Office
at it's present salary? The men who
would make the best mayors can not
afford to give the city their time.
sUnder the city manager plan the
councilmen who will serve without
compensation must select an able
manager and the department heads
under him will know that unless
they give the best service they will
lose their jobs. Men who have made
a study Of municipal affairs are the
men who are elected as city manag-
org

The Election.

The Election.
The Freeman-Tribune has no sore
spots, but it does wish to protest
against one species of campaigning
INDUCED in by friends Of Mr.. Pearce.
They were peddling up and down
the streets yesterday that the pub
fishers of the Freeman-Tribune,
while pretending to support Judge
Kamrar, were secretly knitting him.
That was simply an invention Great
ed by men whose own motives are
seldom the best. This writer asked
Judge Kamrar to be candidate and
any enemy of the paper is challeng-
ed to name one reputable witness
who ever heard one of the publish
ers ever intimate anywhere in any
manner whatever that they were 60
ing to vote against Mr.. Kamrar, or
asked anybody else to vote against
him.
The Freeman-Tribune was pleas
ed to have Judge Kamrar aid in the
fight for the manager plan and it
was glad to have him a candidate
for member of the council. Our diff
ferences with Judge Kamrar in the
past are Of the pasta matter OF
ancient history-and this paper is
pleased that this is so. The editor
of the Freeman-Tribune personally
asked Judge Kamrar, Hon. r. G..
Clark and COL. Mccullough to be
candidates and no man in Hamilton
county can point to single instance
that candidate under such circum-
stances did not receive his support
at the polls.
At the election on the 30th of
August, at which the city manager
plan was adopted, there were 76S
votes cast, of which 514 were for
the plan and 254 against it. The
total number of voters at the polls
yesterday was approximately the
same-perhaps little larger and
the successful candidates-Clark,
Kamrar and McCollough-won by
vote of about two to one, indicating
that a large majority Of the people
believed Mr.. Pearce was the candi-
date Of the opponents of the plan
and Of the reactionary members of
the council. OF course, Mr.. Pearce
was a hearty supporter Of the new
system, but its opponents apparent
ly hoped to elect him merely to de-
feat some one of the candidates up
on whom some of the conspicuous
advocates Of the plan had united.
the hope, presumably, Of causing dis
sention in the new council. The
Freeman-Tribune believes Mr..
Pearce is too big a man to be any
body's catspaw If he had been elect
Gu, DuL IL dppedlcu IudI Cel Idlu III
terests hoped they might control
him. At least they were anxious to
take chance. He was like old dog
Tray, got into questionable COM
pany, and had to suffer the conse-
quences.
However, all's we'll that ends we'll
and now everybody who is really in
terested in the material and moral
advancement of Webster City will
get behind the new council and do
what they can to make the new plan
success and place the town in the
enviable position Of having been the
successful leader in movement
that is bound to become popular and
conspicuous in Iowa and all over the
country.
