as we are obedient to His command

I. IS INNOVATION
Electric Shop to Put on Sale of Elec.
trio Irons Unprecedented
Here Before.

/ Supt. Long of the electric light
and power plant will during the
week beginning June 18th, put on a
sale at the electric shop which is un-
precedented in this city. This will
be sale of electric flatirons, the
best to be bought anywhere, at $1.5O
each.
These irons have heretofore re-
tailed at $3.50 each and the electric
department will lose money at that
price, but the sale has been institut-
ed for the purpose Of getting the
electric current into every home in
the city. With the present reduced
rates of electricity to the consumer,
it will be cheaper to iron by electric
ity than by any other method, and
the labor at the same time greatly
lightened during hot weather. 1t is
planned to place at least $50 of these
irons in homes during the week.

by Score Of 4 to 8 at River

Nation catcher in the eighth inning,
and the use of Donaldson, the star
pitcher for the remainder of the
game, proved the undoing of the To-
Gals at Riverside park Friday af-
ternoon by a score Of to 3. This
game was by all odds the best exhi-

by the home team so far this season,
and it was merely horse shoe luck
that gave, the game to the visitors.

Damaged Goods. :"

Damaged Goods" is mighty pro-
test against the double standard in
morals as 1t exists in modern society
today. 1t is moving picture film
which will be shown at the Orpheum
tomorrow, May 30th. &
We are not vet accustomed to ufl-
veil the secrecy that enshrouds our
discussion of sex-problems. But the
time is probably coming when we
will view this subject with an open
mind and clear conscience.
1t is only those who come direct
ly in contact with the actual hor-
rors infesting every city--and Web
ster City is not immune-that real
ize how valuable is the instruction
to be derived from this film.
Parents are too often ignorant of
the conditions surrounding their sons
and daughters m early manhood and
womanhood. Perhaps If they were
aware that the taxes which they are
compelled to pay for the building
and maintenance of insane asylums,
schools for-the deaf, dumb and blind
and homes for the imbeciIes, are nec-
essary more than for any other rea.
son because of acts of indiscretion
during youth, they would then inter
est themselves in every possible way
in the moral protection Of these be-
loved ones. 1t is astounding to know
that the cost Of supporting these in
stitutions. together with jails and
other reformatories, is five times
that of maintaining our educational
system: and yet there are some who
hold up their hands in protest
against the public instruction of SEX
ology. Those who take that view
should see Damaged Goods"

Number OF Towns and Talk
Politics Next Saturday
Afternoon.
MAKING AN AUTOMOBILE TOUR
To Speak in Woodstock, Webster
City, Kamrar, jewell, stanhope
and Stratford.

Senator Joseph II. Allen of Poca-
hontas, republican candidate for gov
ernor of Iowa, is making an automo-
bile tour of the state, meeting vot-
ers and giving his views of the polit-
ical issues of the day. He is making
many friends and it Is certain that
he will be we'll toward the winning
goal when the primary votes are
counted. His friends and supporters
believe he will secure the nomina-
tion and election. He Is one of the
strong men of the state and comes
from a section that Is deserving OF
recognition from the republican par
ty, as it always rolls up big major
ity for the ticket and has never yet
been honored with the governorship.
When northwestern Iowa presents
such a man as Joseph H. Allen for
this great Office this section OF the
state has right to expect that he
will be nominated. He has been In
the legislature many years. His rec
ord is an open book and those who
study it will find that he has been
on the side of progress and reform in
every instance. His itinerary in this
vicinity next Saturday afternoon Is

Sappho, young movie actress
was the guest of honor at an after
noon tea given at the Lin coin park
ZOO yesterday by Cy De Vry. 1t was
"at home" day in the leopards' cage
and Sappho, who is a member of the
same family, had the time of her life.
Sappho is the pet of Princess Olga
Celeste, a wealthy native of Russia
who makes a hobby of wild animals.
The Princess, who with her half doz-
en- trained leopards has been acting
in the movies for the Selig Polyscope
company in California, stopped off in
Chicago on her way to South Amer
lea. Mr.. De Vry invited her to bring
sappho out to the park to visit with
his spotted family, and while the tea
party was punctuated at times by the
catty remarks of those present every
thing went off without serious row
or physical encounter.
The princess carried Sappho in her
arms in the automobile which con-
veyed the guests to the ZOO Sappho
has been so thoroughly tanned and
trained the princess leads her about
with a leash attached to harness.
The camera man for the Selig-
Tribune weekly was among those
present, and pictures of the tea par
ty will be shortly seen on the screen.
