TO HELP CHRISTIAN
. HOME 0RPAAhAGE
Mrs. G. E. Buell. Kindly Offers Ser
vices for Thanksgiving
Offering.

Considerable interest has been
manifest among our citizens since
the publication of an article in these
columns stating the urgent needs OF
the Christian Home Orphanage at
Council Bluffs, and Mrs. G. E. Buell.,
1923 Bank street, has kindly offered
her services for the solicitation of a
Thanksgiving fund to be sent to the
Home management at once.
Mrs. Buell. will attempt to reach
all persons possible but especially re-
quests that all who wish to give any
sum, large or small, notify her or
leave it at her home. The small con-
tribution is solicited. A single dime
from each of ten persons, who other
wise might not feel able to help, will
total a dollar. Every possible dol
lar sent to the home will help to
care for the little army of orphan
boys and girls, the care Of which will
be vastly increased during the cold
winter months.

ELK'S BOWLING
SEASON IS OPENED
A Fine Team With Much Enthusiasm
and Interest is Enjoyed by
Contestants.

Last night was opening night Of
the league season of the Elk's bowl
ing teams and fine time with much
enthusiasm and interest was enjoy
ed. Ten teams nave been organized
each containing five men and these
fifty business men, making up the
bowling league, will bowl for at least
twenty-five consecutive weeks. Upon
dance night at the Elks' club house
or when anything Of Importance is
in session upstairs, the alleys will be
silent, but upon all other nights ex-
cept Saturday nights, the long roll
of the balls will resound.
At times when local teams will be
unable to bowl, in twos, some out of
town talent will be secured to bowl
against Webster City teams. This
will add to the interest and prove a
pleasant diversion from the routine.
Last night the Old Timers bowled
against the Walter Wilson team.
There will be no bowling tonight
but on tomorrow night the Sharpe
team will bowl against the Wild
Rose team. On Thursday evening
the Beck team will bowl versus the
Kamrar team. On Friday evening
the Bermann team will bowl against
the Richeson team. The contests
will start promptly at o'clock in
the evening until after the holidays,
when the hour will be p. m.
The match bowled last night was
won by the Wilson team. The scores
are as follows:

Three Enormous Trees to be Placed
Upon the Main street-Dec-
orations, Electric
Lights, Etc.
ENTHUSIASTIC MEETING HELD
Heads Of Committees are Appointed
-Colored Globes to Hum
mate Trees.

A large and enthusiastic gather
ling of business men was held last
night at 1880 o'clock in the Foster
furniture store to discuss plans for
Community Christmas trees. The
plans were formulated, committees
appointed, and the work gotten well
in hand.
The plans are for three Christmas
trees of enormous size, from forty to
fifty feet in height, to be erected at
the corner of Wilson avenue and
Second, Des Moines and Second and
Seneca and Second streets. These
will be made of branches of ever
green nailed securely to telephone
poles and the illumination, it is hop
ed, will be furnished by the city cleo
trical department free of cost. Light
globes will be dipped in aniline dyes
to make the desired colored globe eff
feet and besides these mamouth
trees, there will be erected in front
of each twenty-five foot business
house, five foot growing Christmas
tree tubbed in earth. These trees
have now been ordered and will ar
rive sometime the first of December.
They will comprise hemlocks, spruces
and evergreens and each merchant
has the liberty to do as much decor
ating as he sees fit.
The decorations will all be up by
Saturday, Dec. 9th, and thereupon
will ensue a period Of two weeks in
which the business district of the
town will be wonderful and beau
|tiful sight. If the effect will not
make that Christmas feeling, moth
ing will.
During the last week of the decor
alton, before Christmas, two days
will be given over to the children of
the country and city. Upon those
days the little ones will be given
free entertainment at the different
picture shows and Santa, Claus will
distribute gifts of candy, nuts and
oranges to them. During the week
Santa Claus will be on exhibition up
ION the business street during the at
ternoons and evenings and every lit
tie child in the county will delight
in seeing him. Incidentally their
parents will come to this city and do
their shopping instead Of going to
nearby larger towns.
The committees as appointed are:
E. D. Curtis, chairman Of the Com
munity Christmas Association.
julius Bermann--secretary and
treasurer
Committee on music-Rev. H. A.
Koenig, pastor of the German Luth-
eran church.
Committee on entertainment
Mrs. Fife Kantor, G. C. Tucker.
Committee on decorations-E. d.
Curtis.
Committee on funds-L. A. Nc
Murray.
These heads of committees have
the privilege of choosing helpers. as
many as they choose, and the affair
will soon be safely launched. The
association figure that about $500
will be needed to finance the under
taking and this will be raised by pop
ular subscription. There will prob
ably be no difficulty in raising that
amount of money for each merchant
will receive generous slice Of bust
ness which he otherwise would not
get, If such an undertaking is sue
started and finished.

IOWA GUARDSMAN'
now BEING PRINTED
First Copy Of New Paper is off the
Press-Fort Dodge Soldier is
Editor.

The first number of The Iowa
Guardsman, the new newspaper pub
lished at Brownsville, Texas, by the
soldiers in the interest of the Iowa
troops stationed on the Mexican bor-
der, is off the press. The first copy
is made up of four pages of regular
newspaper size and contains much
of interest to the guardsmen. Lieut..
E. R. Appel of Fort Dodge is the ed
itor in chief. Following is the edi-
torial announcement of the new pa
|per:
To the men of Iowa, officers and
privates, whose answer to the presi-
dents call to arms and whose later
service with Americas border army
has brought such credit to their state
and to the national guard as whole,
this paper is dedicated.
Although it would be impossible
to do full justice to this great army
which transformed itself so quickly
from civilian life to one Of the most
efficient fighting forces in service to-
day, it will be the purpose of the
|Guardsman to as nearly as possible,
write the story of Iowa's achieve
|ments. And Iowa has achieved. No
where on Americas southern from
tier, along the entire line of army
camps which fringe the. Rio Grande,
can the national guard boast of a
stronger unit. Officers declare that
Iowa's infantry could competently
take the field with the best of the
regular army; the field artillery
broke the worlds record for practice
shrapnel firing last week.
Salient of all, however, is the spir-
it of the Iowa troops. AS Americas
soldiers are known over the world
for their aggressiveness. so the men
who came south from Camp Dodge
in the late weeks of July stand out
in militia circles as fighters. The
University of Iowa, some years ago,
adopted a football motto-"Iowa
Fights No better application of
the two words could be made than
to the soldiers from the same state.
Through the months of gruelling
training, in the face of difficulties
which we might have daunted 9TH
ers, men from the Hawkeye state
have stood united, willing to accept
their lot without complaint. Their
achievements and final rise to the
head of national guard forces have
not been without hard seasoning,
but the result has been worthy of the
effort.
It will be the aim of the Guards
man to present the activities of the
brigade in as true a light as possible,
to give to the world outside a REG
ord of it's achievements and to pro-
mote the best interests of it's men at
all times.
To the men of Iowa we wish to OF
fer the Guardsman as their paper and
it's aim will be to strive to equal in
journalistic rank that standard of
efficiency which they have SO well
established as American soldiers.
