much associated with the Y. M. c. A..
being member of one for number
of years and was kept out of places
of evil through it's influence. At
that time it stood for Righteousness
and Christianity. Why not now
We stand for the interest of the
young people of Webster City. Again
you mention the community house.
A community house in Webster City
is not what is needed and would
work untold harm If established, ac-
cording to such suggestions as ap-
peared in this paper some time ago.
What our city needs is an old fash
toned revival of old time Christian
ity and not a lot of man-made plans
and devices. A Y. M. c. A. is all
right for Webster City but let it
be without a smoking room and bill
lizards, with spirituality the domi-
nant feature, not the gymnasium and
swimming pool. While these are
all right and have their place, they
are only a means to an end, and that
is the salvation of those who visit
the rooms.
Yours for righteousness,
F, B. Gowland.

boulevard last night. Now, Mr..
Terrell is allife Insurance agent and
he used his most subtle powers OF
persuasion in Judge Magowan's
court this morning. Although he
had no speedometer, he declared that
he was not exceeding the speed limit
for more than a few yards and that
only to escape injury from an APP
preaching street car which turned
out later to be merely light on Lo-
chray's motorcycle.
Mr.. Ferrell's trial began at $40
a. m. He preferred to act as his
own lawyer and argued on every
thing from the relative values of The
different makes of motorcycles to the
new fire truck recently purchased by
Webster City. He spent half an hour
searching the Iowa code for clause
stating that automobiles are not
speeding unless they exceed the
speedlimit for more than an eighth
of a mile. But no use, the clause
which he thought was there, had
mysteriously disappeared. He want
led. to appeal the case but when in
formed that he could not act as his
own lawyer he Immediately changed
his mind.
Mr.. Terrell has thus far had a
clean record and he was out to see
that no blot appeared on his escu-
tcheon. During lull in the argu-
ment, H. Peterson and Arthur Sui
livan were arraigned on the same Of
Tense with which Mr.. Terrell was
charged. Within five minutes. each
had plead guilty and paid their fines
of five dollars each. Mr.. Terrell
continued to search in the Iowa
code.
By II o'clock the prisoner began
to show signs of weakening and fl
nally departed, minus five dollars
and previously spotless reputation.
1t was this same spotless reputation
which caused the police to allow Mr..
Terrell to consume over two hours
in pleading a case in which the evil
dence was obviously against him.
Eds. Freeman Tribune: The Mes
senger's nice looking high school boy
reporter is prevaricating when he
writes that searched in vain
through the volumes of Iowa law for
a provision which stated that the
speed must be taken for at least one
eighth of 4 mile, before one is pre-
sumed to be speeding, and that the
provision could not be found, be-
cause did find the provision. Sec
1571-20 last Supplement to the Code
and read it for the court, and the
Mcgowan and the police
sergeant both acknowledged they
had never saw it before, and were
surprised to have me show it to
them. positively was not speeding
and plead mot guilty" However.
the Honorable Mcgowan still persist
ed to keep the machinery of the TT.
Dodge laws in motion, and by using
the old Chicago kangaroo police court
method he retained my perfectly good
SIS to help replenish the Fort Dodge
treasury. 1t is possible they will
forever keep this coveted SIS, but
not until the district court decides
l was speeding. These statements
Of fact can be verified by Mr.. Frank
Hughes of this city, who was with
me. Walter Terrell.

Yours for righteousness,
Fl B. Gowland.
Rev. F. B. Gowland in his COM
Imunication to the Freeman-Tribune
seems to miss the real meaning or
the need for a Y. NJ C. A. building
in this city. A smoking room and
billiards are to draw that large class
of young men who play billiards and
smoke, as well as others, away from
public places and the streets in the
hope that the influence Of the Chris
tian young men who belong to the
association may help them. Because
a Y. M. C. A. building has smoking
room in it does not mean that the
members of the association believe
in or use tobacco. A Y. M. c. A.
building without gymnasium and
paraphernalia for playing games,
billiards, ten pins, swimming, etc.,
is entirely useless, so far as doing
anything for young men and boys
who have no place to spend their
time except in the pool halls or on
the streets. The spiritual side of
the matter should be paramount as
far as the members of the association
are concerned, but no association
will ever save any outsiders by en-
phasizing that phase of the work and
eliminating the amusement features.
II this is done the billiard players
will continue to spend their time in
other places. Y. NJ. c. A. workers
the country over have long since
recognized this fact and their build
ings now days are invariably equip
ped, with gymnasiums, billiard tab
les, swimming pools, ten pin alleys,
etc. The splendid game of billiards
is as clean and wholesome in the
right environment as the game OF
crouquet. If we are to have recrea-
ton and wholesome amusement for
the young men, where is there more
suitable place than in Y. M. c. A.
building, conducted by Christian
men? Bro. Gowland says there is
a place for these things. We are sor-
ry he did not tell us where the prop
er place would be, If not in COM
munity house or such other build
ing.
AS for the "old fashioned revival"
Bro. Gowland mentions, Webster
City has had these in and out Of sea-
son for years, his plan has been
thoroughly tried, and the crowds of
young men upon the streets and in
the public halls is still increasing.
To argue REVEALS in place of a Y.
NJ c. A. building is begging the
question. We need both. And how
about the fellow that takes no stock
in an old fashioned or any other
sort of revival?- Are we to leave
him to his own devices. or should we
attempt to reach him in some other
way?
In closing his communication Bro.
Gowland says that games are a
means to an end and that end is the
salvation of those who need it. Ex-
actly. Billiards and other games
are the means to draw the young
men to the Y. NJ. C. A. building
where they may be brought under
saved from wrong living. Bro.
Gowland says he was formerly al
member of a Y. NJ. C. A. and it saw

ed him from evil. Perhaps Y. NJ
C. A. here would save others from
evil.

coUNTRYS CROPS FALL
 OFF MANY MILLIONS

WASHINGTON, Aug. S.-Falling off in crop prospects amounting to many millions of dollars loss to farmers of the country, were indicated today in the department of agricultures August report which forecast declines in in- dicated production in almost every inn portant crop from the forecast of July With a loss of 150,000,000 corn, 99,0OO0,0O0 oats, 43,000,O00 bushels barley 11,OOO,0OO there were decreases in even rye, white and sweet pota- toes, fixed apples and peaches. A heavy reduction of the industrial pro- duction of cotton previously had been reported.
 Corn, the nations greatest crop, is in a serious condition from drought and if rain does not come soon the yield will be smaller than the fore cast announced today, which was g., TT. 100000 bushels.

raised stock This was sold some time before he entered the govern ment service. He never was vter- mary surgeon. He is a gentlemtn of ! education and refinement. Before his appointment to succeed Dr. Tittman he was deputy commissioner of fish cries, another bureau of this depart ment. and displayed administrative !, talent of such high order that he was deemed by both the secretary and my self worthy of recommendation for appointment to fill the vancancy in the coast and gcodetic survey.
 In our judgment this bureau was well equipped from the scientific standpoint but stood in great need of a man of executive ability to organize its work.
 With all two months elapsed be tween the resignation of Dr. Tittman and the appointment of Mir. Jones. During that interval and before the recommendation was made. sugges- tions and advice were freely sought from parties who know the qualifi- cations of MT. Jones, and also for hls ability to discharge his new duties. Since the appointment Of Mir. Jones the survey work an dall other work of the bureau have been developed with marked vigor and success.

MUNITIONS MAKERS OPEN LEGAL BATTLE
 WITH JERSEY CITY
Are Sueing for Right to Ship
 High Explosives Through City. Has Big Contract with
 Russia.
fRv Review Leased Wlre.

TRENTON, N. J., Aug. S.-Jersey City's embargo on shipments and spor- age of high explosives was attacked in the federal court today by the agency of the Canadian Car and Foun- dry company. Limited, in a suit to restrain the Jersey City commission from interfering with the Delaware Lackawanna and Western Railroad company accepting munitions at it's piess.
 Federal Judge Rellstab will hear ar guments on the application for pre- Iiminary injunction at Belmar, next Thursday.
 Action of Jersey City authorities in compelling the railIoucs to unload a car of explosives shipped by the Ca nadian company from Kingsland, N. J.. is the basis for the court action today. The proceedings are directed against the five city commissioners of Jersey City.
 Under a contract with the Russian government the munition factory is obliged to deliver daily 750,000 partly loaded shrapnel and high explosive shells at Gravesend Bay during Aug ust. The contract is for S13,000,0OO and provides a penalty of one per cent for every weeks delay in deliv- cry. Over S7,OOO,OO0 of the contract has been completed and the company has been held lp in shipments by the Jersey City officials as the outcome of the recent explosion at Black Tom Island.
 Specimens of unfinished shrapnel and high explosive shells will be ex- hibited to the court on Thursday to demonstrate the impossibility of premature explosion. The munition company says it has been shipping for months, hundreds of carloads of munitions without the slightest sign of accident or injury to life or prop erty
 The complaint charges that there is no New Jersey statute to prohibit the shipments and that the rulings of the interstate commerce commission legalize such shipments.
 The suit will act as a test case for the other railroads.
