CONGRESS EXPECTS

day wrote asking that a special rule
be framed which would bring to q
vote the resolution Of warning.
Il was stated at the white house in
advance of the conference that the
president was determined that the
entire matter should be threshed out
and it be determined for the benefit
Of the country and. the warning Euro
pcan bclligerents whether he is right
in his insistence that the executive
branch of the government be permit
ted to handle international affairs
without legislative interference.
The few men in the presidents con-
hdence declare that he was convinced
that when the big question at issue
was presented to congress the vote
would be so overwhelming that the
proposition of this country maintain
ing it's rights under existing interna-
tional law would be sustained. Any
step at this time that would even seem
to weaken this position, the president
said, must be misinterpreted in war
ring Europe.
That was the reason, and the only
reason. administration leaders said,
for the presidents action in trying
to force the hands of congress.
Meanwhile, as the president ex-
planned his position at the white house
the congressional leaders held a con-
ference. The speaker and Majority
Leader kitchin admitted that they
we're trying to devise mode of pro
cedure that would prevent further
serious friction. There was much
bitter feeling against the presidential
action inasmuch as many of the lead
ers who favor this government taking
steps to keep Americans from sailing
ON armed ships, have been Loyalty
working for the last few days to pre-
vent any further discussion of the
subject on the floor.
The Republican leaders were sitting
tight and waiting for the majority
To plan its course Leader Mann de-
clined to say anything other than to
repeat that the Republican leaders
have decided that they will do nothing
until they have clear understanding
Of all the questions at issue and every
thing that is involved.

All cigarettes are pure,
A.,A

purity alone doesn't make q
cigarette SENSIBLE
We don't know of a single
one of our competitors who
doesn't make his cigarettes Of
pure tobacco.
But a pure cigarette that
didn't taste just right wouldn't
do for you, would it?
And to be really sensible a
cigarette must give you more
than purity and a good taste.

Paving Held IN.

/ The asphalt paving which has been
going on for the past few weeks, is
held up at the corner of Water and
Prospect streets on account of the re-
cent storm. There are only about
five more days of work to be done af-
ter which the holes in the Seneca
street paving, as well as other
streets, are to be repaired. Asphaltic
paving operations may continue at
any time in cold dry weather, but
wet stormy weather puts quietus
upon the work. When weather is
warm enough to allow the asphalt to
be spread upon the concrete founda-
ton that is all that is necessary.

Neighborhood Meddler.

Strawberry Point Press: Most
neighborhoods have her. She is the
most noticeable feature of the land
|scape. She is always on the job. 1t
matters not that the job is self-as-
|sumed. She never sleeps on it.
Nothing is begun, carried on or
completed without her meddlesome
interference. She knows the full
family history of every man, woman
and child for miles around And if
needed to forever wither and destroy
"a promising career, she furnishes it
with glee.
Having long since parted with any
youthful charms she may have once
possessed, the possession of attract
iveness in the young people seems to
fill her withered heart with gall. The
boys of the community are all trif-
ling and vicious, the girls weak and
silly. Their mothers and fathers are
no better, and really one can not i'm
agine what the world is coming to.
No affair of community or private
life is too big or too little for her
meddlesome tongue to dip into. She
annoys us, but we tolerate her. She
nags us, but we bear it. At times
she drives us crazy but we endure.
And there is no remedy, no recourse.

DATE FOR El{cTRl-
F|CAT|0N POSTPONED
Company Cannot Finish Improve
ments Until Crossing Con-
troversy is Settled.

The date for the completion of ar
engagements for transportation over
the Fort Dodge, Des Moines & South-
ern may have to be deferred little
in view of the present court proceed
ings of the railroad against the
Great Western railroad company
which will come up for decision, at
the next session of court in Fort
Dodge, December 4th. The proposed
connecting link between the Crooked
Creek and the present Ft. d., d. NJ.
& S. r. r. would of necessity cross
the Great Western tracks atNGypsum,
and this the Great Western refuses
to allow. Without question, howev-
err, the crossing will be made and the
date of completion in Webster City
is set for March 1-15th.
The wires are now being placed
and all possible details of the work
being done, that no time may be lost
in electrifying the road when OPP
portunity offers. When that con-
summation is reached, the yards here
in Webster City will be rebuilt, and
a little bird whispers that an attempt
is already being made to secure the
lot just east of the Standard Oil Com
pany's service station, corner Pros
pect and Second streets, for the erec-
ton of depot. An elbow of cleo
trio line would in that event reach
from the Crooked Creek yards to that
location, which would make an ideal
interurban depot for passengers. l..
E. Foley, agent in Webster City for
the Fort Dodge, Des Moines & South
ern, was questioned this forenoon in
regard to the proposed site for the
depot, but could give nothing defin-
lite.

The County Fair.

On Train, Nov. Lids. Free
man-Tribune: Now that election is
over, is a good time to think about
that fair that Webster City ought to
have next fall. Other county seats
and several of them smaller than
Webster City are having very sue
cessful fairs.
Watermelon day was put off last
fall. A great many believe that
should not have been put over. / be-
| lieve it could be held next fall on
one day Of the fair.
Now l am not going to advise as
to how fair should be carried on,
am only going to offer suggestions as
to how other fairs are being run.
Some Of them are going in for high
lpriced attractions and charging high
prices at the gate. Other fairs are
not charging at the gate at all. One
fair this fall had evening entertain
ment, charging half price and wrote
their own plays and acted them with
home talent. There are a great
many ways that fair could be run.
AS | said above, l am not going to
try to map out how to run it, the
main thing is to make up our mind
to have one and then map out plans
later on.
At the Nebraska State Fair feat
|ure was Home Projects in 'Agriclll-
ture and Home Economics" Home
School Garden Project" Boys and
Girls canning Glass;" Boys and Girls
class. best calf or pig" and Boys
and Girls Stock Judging Classes" At
other fairs prizes for best corn by
boys and girls as well as the classes
for adults.
Grant county, Wis, has had a fair
for six years at small town-Liv-
ingston. All free and yet premiums
are given in cash and there are a
great many entries of stock and
grain. They do not have any horse
racing or high priced attractions.
Some concessions could be sold and
if they were of the clean sort no one
could find any fault with them. Now
as l said above, these are only sug-
gestions. The main thing is to have
a fair and it is none too early to be-
gin to think about it, to plan for it
and not let another year go by with
out fair, the best We can have.
Yours truly,
J. w. Let's.

Arrive in Brownsville.

err says the boys from Fort Des

ing put on so much weight that he

$4,000 for a Quarter Section.

Grundy Democrat: The Henry
Wiley 160-acre farm north of Con-
rad was sold Tuesday to E. o. Slower
of Clay township for $3.50 an acre or
a total of $4,000. The considera-
tion was cash at that. The Wiley
place is good farm and it is well
improved. While the price is high,
neighbors who know the place re-
gard it bargain at the price. 1t
was because the consideration was
cash that it was not an easy matter
to get buyer for the farm. We have
plenty of men in the county worth
$4,000 who are in the market for
farm bargains, but few of them have
$4,000 in cash to put into it.
