TEACHES USE OF
PUBLIC LIBRARY
Freshman Class Of Webster City
High School Takes Morning
instructions.

Beginning with this week, the
members of the freshman class OF
the Webster City high school, are
going over in groups to the Kendall
Young library where Miss Charlotte
Crosley, assistant librarian, is teach
ing the intelligent use of the lib
rary's resources to the boys and girls.
The instructions will last for six
weeks and an hour of the morning
on four days, and one in the after
noon on two days, will be devoted to
this work. The students who have
always gone to the library with a
hazy idea of how to go about it to
look up some references, will now
know how to find things out for
tn themselves without asking the lib
rarian.
The relation of the card index to
the shelves overfiowing with books,
the reference room, and the period
Iical index will each receive especial
attention and will be fully explain
led to the students.
One lesson will be on the maya
zines of the library, Of which there
| are so many of valuable aid in look
| ing up current topics-scientitic
Literary, mechanical, etc. The les
sons should prove of great value to
the boys and girls as an aid to study
all during high school.

VOTERS MUST REG
lister THIS YEAR
Boards Will be in Session on Thurs
day, Friday and Saturday Of
This Week.
Register Thursday.


Cut this out and paste it to your
hat band. Don't go to the polls on
election day, find you have lost your
vote because you are not registered,
and then claim that you had not
been warned.
The registry boards in the city
will be in session three days this
week. Thursday is the first day.
That is the day to register. Do 80
and get it off your mind.
On Friday and Saturday the
boards again will be in session, and
at the close of the registration places
Saturday night the bulk of the vote
in the city should be registered. On
I, Saturday, Nov. 4, the boards will be
in session again to register strag-
glers, and that is the last chance for
practically every voter. The only
voters who may be registered after
Saturday are those who are out OF
town on each preceding day of reg.
istration, and that is done on cleo.
ton day. This number is always
comparatively few.
Another thing to remember is that
a new set of poll books is made VI
this year, and that every voter who
casts his ballot at the presidential
election must have been registered
provided he is a resident Of town
having a population of $500 OF
more. Webster City is the only town
in Hamilton county in which 1t Il
necessary for voters to register.

Scarlet Fever Cases.

Glen johnson, the twelve year old
son Of Mrs. Lizzie Johnson, who has
been quarantined with scarlet fever
for the past ten days or so. has been
a very sick child and still remains
so. No other children of the fam
lily have yet broken out with the
scarlet rash, although the thirteen
year old daughter otherwise shows
every symptom of the fever.
AT the H. B. WEIGH home, Gladys,
the ten year old daughter, is slowly
recovering from the fever and Dor
othy, the youngest child, is also re-
covering, having broken out with
the rash two days after her sister
was taken ill.

COURSE
Of THE COMMERCIAL
LEAGUE CANCELLED
President Perry Of League Says Red
path Lyceum Bureau Can
celled Dates.

According to the former advertis-
ing and mention made of the Com
'mercial League lecture course for
the present fall and winter, the
opening date was to have been to-
morrow evening, Oct. 25th, at which
time the Bohumir Kryl company,
consisting of Kryl, the great cornet
soloist. and his two daughters, were
to have appeared together in this
city on the concert platform. Ac-
cording to advices from President
Perry of the Commercial League to-
day, that date and all the others of
the course have been cancelled.
The subject has had a long and
somewhat stormy career in this city.
beginning away back in February,
when the league president signed a
contract with the Redpath Lyceum
bureau for lecture course upon
which were to appear Bohumir Kryl
and company, Edward Steiner, the
Katherine Ridgeway company, Nels
Darling, the community builder, and
the Cathedral Choir.
Subsequent disagreement arose
between the league officials and some
of the members refused to have any
thing to do with it.
Some time ago, President Perry
says, the lycum bureau people wrote
him asking pay in advance for the
first attraction on the course-the
Kryl company. This was refused
and later the lecture bureau no.
titled Mr.. Perry that the contract
was cancelled. Consequently the
lecture course for this winter, sc
much desired by many residents OF
Webster City, will not materialize.

new SYSTEM TO
Be TRIED BY CITY
Bills are Sent Out Into the Resi-.
dence Section for Light and
Water Bills.

For the first time in years, if in
deed ever, bills for light and water
rent due have been sent out into the
residence section of the city on the
date due. To save postage, the bills
have been delivered in person on or
about the 18th of October and the
patron knows exactly how much he
owes the city before going to the
city hall to pay his bill.
For people Of moderate means,
this is a great convenience, and gives
them ample warning to make allow
ance for their light and water rent
ais before considering other things.
All patrons must bring the light and
water bills with them when they go
to the office of the city clerk to pay
quarterly bills.
The ordinance providing for and
fixing the electric light rates also
fixed the time for paying the bills.
Electric light and water bills are
now due on Oct. 18th, Jan. 18th,
April 18th, and July 18th. If paid
before the 25th of the month fol-
lowing the date due, patrons may
obtain the discount on such bills.
After that date no discounts are al
lowed.
You will therefore receive your

the dates mentioned, and if you are
not at home when the bill distribut-
or stops, the bill will be slipped in.

Whom Shall I Marry?"

This attraction will be given at
the armory opera house on Thursday
evening, Oct. 26th. The company Is
now playing in Omaha and the Bee
says OF it.:
Ever since social convention laid
cavemen tactics on the shelf Of rele-
gated customs and demanded that
the maid do the choosing in things
matrimonial, there has been indie
cision in the ranks of femininity.
There have been rich men who have
offered jewels and satins to decorate
loveless marriage, competing with
more ardent lovers whose only offer
ing is the gem Of answering devo-
ton.
Agnes Morgan, heroine of Ralph
Thomas Kettering's three-act drama,
now at the Boyd for four-days' en-
gagement, encountered this perplex-
ing combination which has been var
iously solved by different maids in
centuries past.
How she answers the question,
(Which one shall I marry" is nat
urally the climax of the play, but it
does not come until, in the second
act, the veil of the future is thrust
aside and she is given an insight in
to what life with each man would
mean. After that she goes back
home and he is there! Which one?
See the play! ..
There is a strange mingling of al
legory in the homely drama as the
fabric OF the story is woven. Most Of
this Is injected by single character,
Good Advice, book agent whose
commodity is the Book of Truth. All
in all, the narrative is interestingly
and we'll staged.
