Spending Money to Reduce
Selling Prices

IL you were 90 give large entertainment, you
wouldn't go out personally and deliver hundred
or so invitations verbally, would you? OF course,
you would have them printed or engraved and
mailed TO your guests. You would in this way
spend money TO save money and time, which is
also money. Any man who has anything TO sell
has the problem of getting his invitation to buy
before the largest possible number Of prospec-
tive buyers.
The larger the number he interests, the more
units he can make, and the lower his producing
cost descends. So he takes the quickest method
of reaching large number Of people-printing,

CHILDREN AT PARTY
Juniors Of City Celebrate First An
niversary at the. Baptist
Parsonage.

Over three hundred children of the
city gathered Friday night at the
home of Rev. J.O., Staples on Division
street to celebrate the first birth
day of the Juniors. The Junior so
ciety is one which met every Sunday
Of the past year at the Baptist
church at o'clock in the afternoon
to sing and to hear short story
from the Bible. Mr.. and Mrs. George
Steep are the ones who have carried
on this work which has been so COM
mendable. Children from all
churches, or no church at all, are
always cordially invited to attend
and to join the society and have
rather generally accepted the invi-
tation as the party last evening gives
evidence.

RUNS A NEEDLE
into HER FOOT
Miss Mabel Huddlestun Suffers
Very Painful Injury on Sat Z
urday Night.

On Saturday night. as Miss Mabel
Huddlestun was preparing to re-
tire. she stepped quickly from the bed
to the rug landing squarely upon a
needle and running it into the foot
between two toes, breaking it short
off in the foot. Although the in
jury was very painful it was thought
the needle could be extracted easily
the next morning. When morning
came, however, the offender could not
be located and it was necessary to
take an x-ray picture of the foot be-
fore the bit Of steel could be found
When it was located, and the pa
tient anesthetized, a deep incision
was necessary before the needle
could be extracted. 1t was during
this that the young sister, Ramona
proved herself the hero
inc, holding her sisters foot and
otherwise making herself useful with
commendable grit.

'EVANGE[ISTIC
MEETINGS OPENED
DR.. Brown Greeted With Large Aud
fence at Christian Church
in Spite of Rain.

A large audience came out through
the rain Sunday night to hear DR..
Bruce Brown at the Christian church
on the subject, "The Enlargement OF
Life" In his opening remarks, DR..
Brown spoke of the time when, as a
young man, he came to Webster City
as pastor and how Loyalty the church
stood by him in those days. Mr..
Brown has commanding pulpit
presence and makes his appeal to the
intellect as we'll as the heart. The
speaker said there are so many
things about which we differ that
we had better stay near the things
upon which we are agreed. The un-
known quantity in the equation is
too large, but all agree that Chris
tianity enlarges life. 1t sanctifies
the cradle; exalts woman; redeems
man. He made an eloquent plea for
the big things in life. There should
be no room for littlencss.

CENSUS OF IOWA JUST
ISSUED BY THE STATE
Satisfactory Results are shown
The Commonwealth Has En-
joyed Steady Growth.

Y That Iowa has not, in any decade
or in any 5-year period, suffered 8
real loss of population, as a whole, il
one Of the conclusions that must be
drawn from the latest edition Of the
census of Iowa, just issued by the
state. Not until the facts regard
! ing the 1915 census were available
and the comparisons were made with
previous enumerations, could this be
inferred. When the latest state
count is compared with those of each
decade of the past 1t is found that
the state has shown steady increase
Of population, not as great as in the
past. but still an increase. The flu
citations which this comparison
shows cannot be accounted for by
any condition in the state. While
there has been for number of years
decline in the rural population,
there has been an increase in the ur-
ban population to more than Offset
it all. So the conclusion is forced
that the trouble was with the enum-
j erations. It would seem certain that
one enumeration was padded, in some
of the cities, and the other was de-
ficient. This demonstration, now
for the first time made, will end the
pessimism about the decline of pop.
ulation" in Iowa. as whole. The
loss Of rural population is something
common to many states and is the
natural result of changing social
conditions.
There are on an average 42.4 per-
sons to the square mile of land area
in Iowa, or 1914 per square mile Of
rural population only. The present
rural population OF the state is L.
0S0,116, as against 1,142,114 ten
years ago. The urban population
is 1,277,95O, an increase of 210,O14
in the decade. The rural popula-
tion now is ass per cent Of the
whole population, though ten years
ago 1t was 51.2 per cent.
The number of males in the state
is 1,212,9SS and the number of fe-
males 1,145,078.
The voters number 6S4,939. This
is all males Of voting age who are
naturalized. The number of males
of militia age is O9,421.
Iowa Is pre-eminently a state of
natives. There are in the state q
O93,S97 persons who were born un-
der the American flag, and of these
1,551,914 were born in Iowa.

SECURE INTEREST
ING DATA ON LAW
State Authorities Lax on Old Laws,
but spruced up on New Rul-
ing Last Week.

1t appears that some of the sports
men who were detained Sept. LIST.
in the vicinity of the northern lakes
for shooting wild ducks and other
migratory birds, have been jealous
ly digging for data upon the subject
of law.
So many of them felt the thunder
bolt of law descend upon their de-
fenseless heads with all the majesty
of power, that they are still feeling
the effects of the shock. It seems
that for the past few years the open
season for migratory birds has been
from Sept. 1st to Dec. 18th, but for
some reason the agricultural depart
ment, which has power to make rul-
ings for open and closed season, this
year, about ten days before the time
for the open season changed the rul-
ing to Sept. 10th.
Instances are cited where the for.
mer laws We're not enforced, but up
on this later ruling great care was
taken to nab all unsuspecting hunts
men on Sept. 1st. The public has
surely not been given proper warm
ing or notice regarding the change.
A case is now before the supreme
court, having been brought up from
Arkansas, and a decision will be
rendered next month.
Information from reliable sources
gives the assurance that every win
ter wild ducks are shot by the mil
lions in the southern states without
any attempt made to restrict the
slaughter. The real conservation
the government is talking about
seems to take place only in the mid
die west, where the opportunities to
kill wild -ducks >re the least in the
United States.
The sportsmen who left this city
Aug. 31st to shoot at Wall Lake were
not anxious to disobey the law, II
they had been they might have gone
a few days before and INDUCED in
a little known law breaking, under
guise of coming early to avoid the
rush, or something of the kind. As
it was, they left this city to be on
the spot on the first day the law pro-
vided for open season, and with this
procured their hunt
ters' licenses.

|inexperience is bound to tell against
them.
The schedule follows:
Sept. 30-Fort Dodge at Fort
Dodge.
Oct. Ida Grove at Ida Grove.
Oct. 14-No game scheduled.
Oct. 21-Humboldt at Humboldt.
Oct. 2S-Storm Lake at Webster

Nov. 7-Algona at Algona.
Nov. 11-Clarion at Clarion.
Nov. 1S-Eldora at Webster City.
Nov.3O- (Thanksgiving)- Perry
at Webster City.
The three hame games are classed
as the best on the schedule. Eldora
high school has never been met be-
fore by Webster City team. but
their eleven last year won every
game on the schedule. Storm Lake
has never been defeated by local
team, and Perry last year played as
strong a game as any eleven met by
Webster City, the final score being
81 to IA in favor Of Webster City.
The opening game. with Fort Dodge.
will doubtless attract many local
fans to that city to root for the Wis
itors. although no hopes are enter
tanned of anything but the possi-
bility of a low score for Fort Dodge.
BY the time the home season opens,
on Oct. 2S, the team will have ac-
quired some of the much-needed ex-
perience, and the boys will doubt
less put up their "old-time" peppery
gridiron exhibition.

STRIKES At BOY
BUT MISSES MARK
Sunday Afternoon Boozer is Chief
Actor in Low Glass Comedy
Drama.

| Seneca street was the scene of &
low class play Sunday afternoon
which started out to be a thrilling
drama but ended in partial come
dy. One Fl. L. Accord was the stal
actor and used up lot Of energy or
an innocent glass window in an ole
building between Division and First
streets.
You see, Accord had just enough ol
the stuff which stimulates to make
him as proud as Lucifer and as strong
as Sandow. Therefore when one
small boy taunted him by calling at.
| tention to his intoxicated condition
Accord was perfectly able to resent
such an insult. For some reason
however, this stuff which stimulates
does not make one quick of wit or
movement, so when Acord's strong
right arm shot out to avenge the in
suit, it encountered no small boy but
instead went right through a per-
fectly good pane of glass. 1t was
too bad the glass was good, with
not a crack in it and might have
done duty for several years. 1t will
cost several dollars to replace it and
all the residents on Seneca street are
sorry about that pane of glass.
AS for the arm, Accord took it to
la physician who found it necessary
to make several stitches and 1t will
be some time before it is used to
avenge another insult. The next
time however, this Accord, whose
name should have been Discord, for
the sorry part of the story is that
he does not seem to be in Accord with
his fellow men, will take care that
no panes of glass are in the vicinity
when he exercises his right arm.
Accord said he was an employe of
the shoe factory, which denies the
accusation. Later he was said to
have been an employe Of Chas. Mil
ler in the transfer service and Mr..
Miller also denies the allegation.
There was, however, such man and
he thrust his fist through pane of
glass on Seneca street.
Later.-Since the above was writ
ten and put into type, we find some
of the particulars are wrong. Infor-
nation from Justice fuckers Office
reveals the fact that it was no small
boy at whom Accord struck, but a
young man about is years of age
Ray Reese-who this morning swore
out information charging Accord
with assault and battery He testi-
flies that Accord knocked him down
twice before he lodged him and the
angered man thrust his hand through
the window. Accord was missing this
morning and is thought to have
skipped-gone to Des Noines, where
he has friends.
