esting message delivered was by
Judge Quentin d. Corley. who told
Of the progress of the Girls Train

struction at Gainesville. He said
the location for the school was ideal
in every respect, that 100 acres of
land had been acquired on which
was a thirty acre orchard. A ma
irons cottage and smaller cottages
for the girls are under course of
construction. Patrick Henry OF Fort

Henry first visited such institutions
in the north and east and got the
best ideas. advanced, and by group
ing them hopes to build a model in

said Mr.. Henry had we'll defined
ideas of how to build and improve
the tract Of land bought for the pur-
pose. Tho home will eventually
have capacity of 600 girls and its
doors will be opened about June
fst. Judge Corley said the home
would be a credit to the people who
have made it possible by going down
into their pockets and providing the
funds. He said the plan was to take
care of the girls in the same man
ner as the boys are being taken care
of at Gatesville.

F. A. Huddlestun Keeps His Usually
High Record as Exhibitor
at State Fair.

F. A. Huddlestun, proprietor OF
one of the finest horse farms in the
middle west, located in the south
outskirts Of this city, retained his
usually high record as prize win
ner at the Iowa State fair this year.
having taken twelve exhibits OF
horses to the fair and securing ten
prizes.
The competition was never before
SO keen as this year in the exhibition
of fancy horses and Mr.. Huddlestun
feels elated to have secured as many
ribbons as he did.
He secured first prize, three Sec
ond prizes, three third prizes and
three fourth prizes, and was only
twice out of the money class. His
exhibits of Shires were not outside
of the money at any time. Not only
did this exhibit compete with Others
from Iowa, but from all over the
middle west. Such farms as the
Bushnell farm of Illinois were rep
resented, as well as others from 9th

Omciall Call.

The forty-fifth annual convention
of the Iowa Equal Suffrage Associa-
ton will be held in the Walnut
street Baptist church in Waterloo.
Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday.
September 10, 20 and 81.
The convention will open Tuesday
afternoon with a conference of coun-
ty chairmen, to which all delegates
are welcome, and will continue with
the regular convention program
through Wednesday and Thursday.
closing with the afternoon session
of Thursday.
Mrs. B. j. Howrey of Waterloo is
chairman of the committee on regis
tration. Waterloo suffragists will
provide lodging and breakfast for
all delegates and alternates wishing
entertainment. Dinner and supper
will be served at moderate prices in
one of the churches. Names of dele
gates and alternates should be sent
as early as possible to Mrs. How
Trey. ~ t4t 4
Suffrage in Iowa has been delayed
and that this delay may be as brief
as possible it is urged that the suffra-
gists of the state come in numbers
to this convention that we may take
counsel together as to the best me-
thods for future work.
A federal amendment is now be-
fore congress and Iowa must do her
share in national work. A large
and enthusiastic state convention
cannot fail to impress our represen-
tatives in congress of whom two are
as yet uncommitted to the suffrage
cause.
In November members of the Iowa
legislature will be elected. Our state
convention must decide what suff-
rage measures shall be presented to
this legislature and what steps shall
be taken to secure favorable vote
after they are presented.
There is work, both federal and
state, to be done by the women OF
Iowa. Our failure to win in June
was very great disappointment to
all of us who felt that the majority
of the men of the state could be
counted on to deal fairly with their
own women. We found, however.
that education, agitation and hard
work must still go on. Let us come
together in Waterloo for the annual
convention prepared to plan a win
ming campaign.

Statement by Mrs. Meadow.

Eds. Freeman-Tribune: Lest the
attitude of the men on our school
board toward the women members
of the school board be misunder-
stood and in justice to the newly
appointed member, w. c. Pyle, it
seems wise to offer few words of
explanation as to why woman was
not chosen instead of man.
Personally would like it better
to have two women on the board but
in public duties we waive our per-
sonal convenience and likes in favor
of what seems best for all concerned.
So in view of the fact that very soon
we must have more rooms in which
to teach our boys and girls and in
the hope that the public will see fit
to vote for the erection Of fine new
high school building in the near fu-
ture, it occurred to the board that
there would be a great deal Of work
that would be easier for man to do
and in the meantime that work
which was especially woman's
work on the board could be looked
after by one woman.
Very respectfully,
Myrtle Lee Meadow.

That Serial" Story.

editors of the Freeman-Tribune that
his part of the serial story" is end
ed. He sent the concluding chap
ter of his part of the serial to the
Reverend on Sept. 4th, and anything
the gentleman may work off his mind
after that date will certainly receive
no consideration from me. l con-
slider the matter between he and my
self closed after that date. All this
is out Of consideration for the read
ers of the Freeman-Tribune, as my
impression is that they will in no.
wise be interested in the affair. But
If the editors think it will make in
teresting reading then our little con-
troversy has not been in vain. So

Real Pioneers.

Dayton Review: Our fellow
townsman, Isaac Bell, showed him
self to be a pioneer of the pioneers
at the old settlers gathering at the
Fort Dodge Chautauqua last We'd
nesday, having the badge 1S49" to
his credit. He and Mrs. Bell cele-
brated their 61st wedding anniver-
sary last year, and thereby proved
themselves the longest married coup
lie present. Not content with these
records, they also carried off the
palm for the largest family, having
eleven children, forty-eight grand
children, and twelve great grand
children. Mr.. Bell is so years old
and Mrs. Bell is 81. both still ac-
tive for their years. Mr. Bell came
to Iowa with his grandfather in IS
A from Indiana, and lived for some
time in the southeastern part of the
state, thence up to the old home
stead in this county. He paid his
first taxes in Webster county $3.50
on 200 acres of land he received di-
rect from the government. He owned
this tract until three years ago when
he sold it to his Oldest son. He is
full of "reminiscences Of the pioneer
days of this country, and has sure
ly lived for happy realization of
the development that has come to
this region during his 67 years OF
Webster county citizenship.
