FRANK ?. WOODS
BIG VICTORY
His Re- Election as Chairman of Con-
gressional Committee Means
Much.

Des Moines, March 14.-The great
Importance of the recent selection of
Hon. Frank P. Woods, member of
congress from the Tenth Iowa dis
trict, to again head the republican
national congressional committee,
has apparently not been realized in
the state There has not been at any
time any real danger that he would
not be reelected chairman Of this i'm
portant committee; the same effort
had been made by those who are
Jealous of his success to make it ap-
pear he was on the point Of losing
out. Mr.. Woods has been so success
full in his work that he has aroused
the enmity OF some persons and es-
pecially number of newspaper cor
respondents in Washington who
have found it impossible to work
him for their own benefit.
Mr.. Woods thus becomes chairman
of the congressional committee in
the year when the presidential cleo
ton is held He is in fine vantage
point as an old member. In case OF
the election OF a republican congress
he will have very great influence in
the organization of the next house.
He is certain to be on important
committees. He also would be GER
tain to see to it that Iowa members
get the best possible committees. In
case of the election of republican
president, nc matter whom, Chair
man Woods would be in a position
of very great influence with the ad-
ministration, and that would inure
to the benefit of all Iowa, for Woods
is not one to be at all backward
about asking for things for Iowa peo'
pie. In short, if things work out
as the repu blicans expect it will
prove to be very important matter
that the congressional campaign was
directed by an Iowa man.
On the other hand, if Senator
Cummins should be nominated and
be elected it would be of still great
err Importance that the congressman
from the Tenth Iowa district is in
the position OF head of the congress
siOnal organization.
Very early in his career at Wash
lington the members Of congress made
| the discovery, which it took some
Iowa people a long while to find out
that Woods is born organizer FOL
victory in any fair fight, and that IN
quiet and effective way he knows
the political game as we'll as any
man in the country. He believes
thoroughly that republican presi-
dent will be elected this year and
even more positively that republi-
can majority in the house is certain
after the next voting.

BUT SOME OF THE
COOKIES were BURNED
An Irate Lady Complains to Justice
Tucker That Boys Stole
Her Baking.

One of the reasons police magis-
'trates often commit suicide is re-
vealed in the following which began
right here in Webster City Saturday
afternoon and ended yesterday after
noon in a Justices office. Saturday
the telephone tangled impatiently in
Justice fuckers office. He answer
ed. A woman's voice at the other
end of the line also tangled impa-
tiently: 81 want some boys right
here in my neighborhood taken care
of and dealt harshly with"
:"What is the trouble?" quoth JUS
tice Tucker, who is used to straight
ening out the tangled snarls OF
neighborhood life in the community.
"Some boys stole all my cookies
out of my window where had
them cooling, and know who they
are and want them punished"
Cali right said the justice, "tell
them to come up to my office Mon
day night after school and l will
settle with them. By the way
Mrs-ah- have you any boys OF,
your own"
MOT snapped the voice, sound
ing as if it was glad to say no boys
were in her home. 13.T''.tS
Monday evening Justice Tucker
sat in his office about four O'Clock,
when he heard soft FOOTBALLS on the
stairs; once in awhile a boyish foot
would stumble and now and then
heavy heel would clatter, but evil
IDENTIFY more than one boy was COM
ing up the stairs and distinct eff
fort was being made to come quiet
ly. Presently the soft tiptoeing
stopped outside of the Justices office
door. A whispered consultation was
heard, then the door opened caut-
iously and three scared little faces
peered into the frightsome place be-
fore they ventured in.
Come in, come in, boys!'' said
the justice heartily What can
do for you today?"
The boys stood in a row twisting
their caps and getting closer to each
other., The next ito the largest
nudged the largest and whispered,
HYou tell him!" The largest who
must have been at least as old as
twelve, after violently twisting; his
cap in his fingers, with great eff
fort blurted out, Eve took 'em!"
Then the others came to his res
cue. "But they was burned" said
one, "And l almost broke a tooth out
on EN-" said the other.
But" said the Justice you took
what did not belong to you; that was
not right. You must go and apollo
gize and pay her for the cookies. J."
The boys twisted and looked at
each other I'VE was flynn kites
up there and we looked up and there
set pan of warm cookies in the
window; they smelt good and we
was hungry! We grabbed the pan
and filled our pockets Then We
looked up and seen her a lookin' and
we took hike"
But you must pay her, and you
must apologize sternly said the
Justice with a twinkle in his eye as
he let the tiptoeing boys out of the
office and headed them in the right
~"
Anyway, they was burnded,
came floating back up the stairway.

thors of "Baby Mine," which comes
here direct from a record run in
New York City where press and pub

NEST the American stage has ever

of the amusing adventures of three
married couple who are neighbors in
one of the fashionable tall apart
ment buildings which abound in GER
tain sections of New York City. The
appearance OF an italian tenor, in
the misapprehensiofil that it is his

which a variety, of ludicrous compli-
cations result. Previously this tenor
and his wife and another newly mar

persists in forcing attentions upon
the bride, whose husband insists up

ARTHUR ST. ONCE
new PRINCIPAL
RICHMOND HIGH

Richmond, Me-, Aug. 14.-Arthur A.
st. Onge, who HAS been elected princi-
pal Of the Richmond High school. was
a prominent athlete at the University
Of Maine, from which he graduated in
1914, and it is expected that under his
leadership athletics at the local High
school will take a decided brace.
Mr.. St. Onge is a native Of South
Coventry, Conn, but is now a resident
Of Foxcroft. He graduated from Fox
croft Academy in 1910 and four years
later from the University of Maine.
During the four years that he was in
college he was a member of the var
sity track team, specializing in the
high jump, hurdles and 440-yard dash.
Sophomore and senior years he also
ran on the varsity team, but was I'M
able to run on that team junior year
on account of an injury.
He was on the editorial board of the
University of Maine Campus, an artist
on the Prism board and vice president
Of the track club. Mr.. st. Onge also
took an active part in debating while
at Maine.
During his college course Mr.. St.
Onge was a member of the Delta Tau
Delta fraternity and the Junior Marks,
an honorary society.
Following his graduation he taught
one year at WATERFORD High school
and last year was submaster at the
Boynton High school Of Eastport,
where he coached the basketball and
baseball teams. This summer Mr.. St.
Onge has been attending the Univer-
sity of Maine Summer school.
He is very popular teacher and at
both WATERFORD and Eastport did
much to build up an interest in ath-
letics at the schools with which he
was connected. The local High school
has for several years been interested
in basket ball, but has done little with
other branches of athletics, and it is
hoped that he will be able to arouse
interest in baseball and track sports
here.
