New Cook Books.

Owing to continued requests for
copies of the Webster City cook
book, formerly issued by the ladies
of the Congregational church, the
first book of which was issued in
1900 and the second in 1906, they
have decided to issue a third edi-
ton. The new book will contain
the tried and trusted recipes of some
of Webster City's best cooks and will
be valuable aid to all housekeepers
Any contributor to the former books
who wishes to submit new recipe
will please send it to one Of the cook
book committee before Oct. 14th
The members of the committee are
Mrs. ]. M. Richardson, Mrs. Alex
Groves and Mrs. F. E. Wilson.

And now Mrs. Strong is giving the
$500 required to buy the BALANCE of
the tract. What this land will
eventually be used for is of course
uncertain at this time. Mrs. Strong
undoubtedly has some public project
in mind and what it may be only the
future will develop.
This latest gift from Mrs. Strong
adds further to the already large
debt of gratitude that the people of
Jewell owe Mrs. Strong. Her public
gifts to Jewell have extended over a
long period of years and have been
very liberal and generous. In the
early days of the town her husband,
then in business here, ranked as one
of the leading public spirited men Of
the town, and long time residents of
Jewell who are familiar with the
early day history o. the town tell
how he then gave freely toward ev-
cry public purpose. After his death
Mrs. Strong moved from Jewell to
California, but her husbands body
rests in the cemetery here and her
interests have never forsaken her
former home. Through all the years
she has been generous to Jewell and
in recent years her public gifts to
the town have been very large. By
her contributions to various public
purposes in Jewell, Mrs. Strong is
erecting monuments of affection and
gratitude to the memory of herself
and of her husband that will forever
be cherished by the citizens of Jew
ell.

GENERALIZATION
PROBLEM IN ENGLAND

d London, Oct. Letter to the
Freeman Tribune from Hal O'Flaher-
ty, United Press Correspondent: AL
though peace is not yet in sight,
England is already taking steps to-
ward slow and gradual demobiliza-
ton Of her great army. An inkling
of what would happen should any
great number of fighting men be
suddenly thrown ashore on England's
coast has been CLEANED from the
pranks of restless convalescents. It is
stated on good authority that ar
rangements have been made to house
the new army in northern France for
some time after peace has been de-
clared, allowing only small bodies of
men to cross the channel at time.
AS the demobiliZed soldiers cross
to England, they will be disposed
most Systematically. In one of the
largest club buildings in London,
for the express pur-
pose, there is being prepared card
index of every soldier, showing his
history, qualifications and business
training. When the army disbands,
England expects to know exactly
what human resources she possesses
and she is determined to use these
toward rebuilding her world trade.
In conjunction with the card index
ing of the soldiers, some of the En-
pires greatest organizers are making
a survey of factories, wholesale
houses, shipyards and all businesses
requiring labor. The number of men
needed for each will be accurately
charted and when the time comes,
the eX-soldier will be offered immed
late employment. How well Eng
land is anticipating the future can
only be conjectured, for very few
persons know the extent of the
plans. But good indication of how
determined the effort is, was shown
in the Communicating of the nation
al Liberal Club building. The an
nouncement of this act on the part
of the government came like bolt
from a clear sky to the club men,
bers. They protested Indignantly un-
til the president of the club explain
ed the reason; that England wanted
their premises to care for the future
of the men who were facing death
in France. The professors left the
building after a patriotic demonstra-
ton. The traditions of years were
to be thrown overheard to make room
for the salvaging of England's
trade. Not only London but every
city of the Empire will become a
great clearing house for labor. The
cost of warfare is to be
discussed, in so far as possible, by
fully the virile and revival
lied manhood which war produces. If

ING IN KANSAS CITY
E. E. Mason Attends Gathering Of
Bankers-1,2OO Automobiles
in Line.

E. E. Mason, one of the assistant
cashiers of the First National Bank,
has just returned from six days at
tendance at the National Bankers
convention in Kansas City, Mo.
About 4,SOO bankers of the United
States were present at the conven-
ton and royal entertainment was
accorded every guest. Among the
several delightful things done for
the enjoyment of the delegates IN
attendance, was an automobile ride
out to the famous Long stock farm
near Kansas City. 1920 auto loads
of bankers were taken to the farm
at one time. Dinners, auto rides,
and entertainments galore followed
each days convention session.
Among the famous bankers present
to address the convention were F. A.
Vanderlip, president of the First Ma
tional Bank of New York City, and
John Shelton Williams, Comptroller
of the currency, Washington, D. c.
Mr.. Mason, while in Kansas City,
saw Elvin A. Young, former Web
ster City citizen, and also Roy Coop
er, son of John M. Cooper, an old
time resident of this city. Roy is
now cashier of the First National
Bank of Heavener, Okla, and is
prospecting. =. While he was in at
tendance at the convention in Kan
sas City, the hotel at which he, to-
gether with hundreds of other bank
ers, had stopped, burned down,
causing no little excitement among
the guests.

At the close of the session Mr..
Brandrup said that personally he

of fine flavor and are apparently

THE WEST TAKES
CROWN FROM EAST

New York, Oct. 9.-The wild and
woolly west has pried the crown OF
athletic supremacy from the classic
brow of the east and slapped it upon
its own tanned forehead. In the
whole athletic realm there isn't an
event in which westerners haven't
put their intrusive fingers with an
air of championship, with the excep-
tion of those games which the west
erners cannot reach. Here is ia
BILE of championships which may
prove interesting:
Heavyweight pugilistic champion
Jess Willard of Kansas. Feather
weight hampion-Johnny Kilbane
of Ohio Bantamweight champion
Young Ertle of Minnesota. Claim
ed) Light heavyweight champion
Jack Dillon of Indiana. All around
athletic champion-Fred Kelly OF
California. Swimming champion
Ludy LANCER of California. American
league batting championships
Speaker of Texas. National league
batting champion-Hal Chase OF
California. Amateur and open golf
champion-Charles Evans of Illinois.
National leagues premier pitcher
Alexander of Nebraska. Wrestling
|champion-Joe Stecher of Nebraska.
Tennis doubles champions-Johnson
and Griffin of California.
The west didn't get it's fingers in
to the worlds series pie, but some of
the most prominent members of each
lof the competing teams are out west
when they're at home. jerome Trav-
ers and Francis Ouimet, the casts
two best golfers, have not been seen
in tournaments this year, and, conse-
quently. were not of any help in saw
ing honors for the east. The recent
A. A. U. field and track meet at Ne
wark brought some crack athletes to
the east from the west. Among them
were Robert Simpson of Missouri and
Fred S. Murray Of California, two
hurdlers whose equals never have
been seen. 1t also showed Landers,
the wonderful school-boy athlete
from Illinois, who came within an
inch of tieing the A. A. U. record for
the pole vault. 1t also gave the spec
tators glimpse of Andy Ward, the
Chicago Splinter, and Arlie Mucks,
the prodigious Wisconsin weight
thrower. These are just few of the
many athletes in the west whose rec
ords show they are able to give a
good account of themselves in any
contests. The athletes who went to
the Scandinavian countries short
time ago as representatives of Amer
lea in games across the seas, were all
westerners with the exception of Ted
Meredith.

some OF COMPANY c
MAY join REGULARS
Federal Officers Canvass Iowa Regi-
ments for Recruits, is the
Report From Border.


of the final steps to be taken before
the movement of Iowa troops to
their, home stations was given out
at the Brownsville concentration
camp through indirect sources here
today While unofficial, this infor-
nation was purported to be anthem
tic, coming from men directly con-
nected with the headquarters of the
brigade.
The plans, as they are now out
lined, are as follows, according to
the statement:
A group of officers is to be ap-
pointed Immediately to systematical-
ly canvass the Iowa camp for re-
cruits for the United States regu-
lars. These officers will be given
the power of recruiting officials.
They will have instructions to apply
past services in the national guard
on the new term of enlistment of
those men who wish to transfer to
the regular branch of the service.
Instead Of being compelled to go
through the preliminary training of
branch stations, as is the case with
the usual recruits, these new men
will be placed directly in that
branch of the service which they de-
sire to enter.
AS soon as the canvass Of all COM
panies in the brigade has been COM
pleted, according to the information,
the Iowa troops will be reviewed and
sent to their mobilization camp, to
be replaced by divisions from other
states.
It was learned at Brownsville to-
day that the Iowans had made very
favorable impression on General
Funston during his recent inspec-
ton here, and this is held as further
grounds for the contention that they
will not be held for many more
weeks on the border.
The entire brigade is to be sup
piled with overcoats when the time
arrives for their return >home, &C
cording TO announcement from quar-
termaster offices today. Army sweat
ers will also be provided as far as
possible, although the supply of
these. 10 limited, and some Of the
cor3can:es nay be forced to go with
OF ti1c.n slscScther, as the govern
rena has stated that issue will be
suspended on this item when the
supply has given out.
Only one section of Iowa troops,
the engineers, has thus far been is
sued both coats and sweaters, orders
having been sent in for the double
requisition for both articles for 9TH
er divisions which have not yet
been given the allowance.
A marked tendency toward, in
creased leniency in granting dis
charges to married men in the ma
tional guard has also heen noted
during the last several weeks. 1t
is stated that if all of those now in
service on the border, who have de-
pendents, were allowed to go home
the strength of the troops concen-
trated along the Rio Grande would
be decreased by less than 10 per
cent.
