IOWA IS JUSTLY
PROUD OF WRITER
Miss Edna Ferber. Who Appears at
Rurtis Under Auspices of Press
Club. Is 0ttumwa Girl.

Announcement that Miss Edna Fer
Der, noted fiction writer, has been Sc
cured to read her own writings at
the Burtis opera house, Davenport,
May II, under the auspices of the TTi-
City Press club, has caused big de-
mand for tickets.
Iowa may proudly claim Edna Fer
Der, because her childhood was spent
in Ottumwa Michigan tries to claim
her because she happened to have
been born in Kalamazoo. Wisconsin
insists on its rights because she was
educated at Appleton, graduated at II
from the Appleton high school and en-
tered the newspaper profession on the
Appleton paper for the munificent
sum of So a week They say | can't
go back to Appleton because everyone
in town believes they are in one or
another of my Stories, she says.
But Iowa will always have soft
spot in her heart because, after all,
the subtle fancies and dreams of child
hood have so much to do with the
later life of the writer. Whether it
was the sun-kissed Iowa hills, or the
soft summer winds, Or the wide pral-
ries, or the severe brick school house,
or the children she romped with at the
age of S, anyway some of this genius
Of Edna Ferber springs from Iowa
soil and Iowa environment. She likes
to write of everyday people, people
who are the salt of the earth, and she
has found many of them in Iowa. Ev-
cry once in while you find charac-
ter in one of her stories from Oska-
Ioosa or from Fairfield, and then if
you ever lived in Ottumwa you smile.
Because civic pride is rooted deep in
Iowa.
Anyway. Edna Ferber belongs to
this big whole-hearted middle west
and there is that bTeeziness in her
stories, that love of humanity that
makes her characters stay with you
and be your friend for life. They are
characteristic Iowa friends, these
story people of Edna Ferber That
why literary people of Iowa claim
Edna Ferber for their own.
This is just one out Of many rea-
sons why you will want to hear her
in her reading Of her own writings.

clare that the writer's will take great
pleasure in doing their part by attend

The committees in charge of the

In addition to these local papars
which are TO be sent out, the public

week articles for the press in several
hundred cities, telling the public in
general of the huge celebration that is
to be staged here. The press asso-
Citations have also asked that they be
kept supplied with special stories that
may be used in connection with their

One of the most pleasing features of
the preliminary work has been the
cooperation Of the war department
and Colonel G. ". Burr, commandment

executive board of the centennial as

BRITISH GAIN
AT POZIERES
Armies Gripped in One of the
Most Furious Battles of
Entire War.
,By the international News Service

(By the International News Seryice.)
London. July 2S.-One of the most ruri-
Gus battles OF the war is being waged to-
night on the fve-miIe Pozieres-Longueval
front. where the British and Germans
have been gripped in a bloody struggle
for more than a week
The English troops are continuing to
gain important ground against the most
desperate resistance yet faced in any
theater. With their full weight of guns
and with thousands Of trained re-enforce-
ments. the Germans are contesting every
inch of the blood-soaked territory
The Germans have been completely
driven from the DelviIle wood. a forest
fortress behind the German third line
Of defense. The British won the la st
irch Of ground in this vital position by
a night attack.
The wood was held by the famous Bran
denburE Corps. which has distinguished
itself on every field from Warsaw to
Verdun. and it was against these trained
veterans that "Kitchener's army of
clerks" scored the victory.
Under cover Of an artillery fire so ter
rife that the German general staff makes
special comment upon It in their official
report, the English today continued their
onward swing. attacking the Teutons at
LonguevaI. the fortified village which
has seen some of the heaviest fighting
of the war.
