DOES It PAY?' ASKS
correspondent
Mrs. Anna H.. Hebdon Writes Arti-
Gle Relative to Webster
City Rest Room.

Eds. Freeman-Tribune: AS a
citizen we are proud OF Webster
City, and to the stranger who visits
our borders we are glad to show the
paved streets, commercial interests,
fine business blocks, beautiful homes
and churches, second to none in the
state, in towns of our size.
Our schools tell their own story
of our desire to send out young men
our state, and help along every good
work.
Our public parks add very much to
the beauty of our city and to the
pleasure and comfort of her people.
A glance tells us that both thought
and money have been freely spent
for the children. Many plays and
pastimes have been made possible by
the money spent upon the upkeep
and furnishing of the parks.
we'll filled with those enjoying the
places of culture and amusement af-
forded by our live, up-to-date little
city.
The library is the pride and help
of all We cannot visit it without
thanking the donors, and feeling
that their works do follow them. ?"
No one has ever suggested or even
thought that it would be possible or
advisable to discontinue any of the
above mentioned things.
For the past two years and more
we have said to the tired mothers,
the 'rest room is open, go in and
rest yourself and little ones"
Those who come from adjoining
country and others weary and travel
stained from points farther away,
have opportunity to refresh them
selves and rest. The sick have been
cared for, the weary and the little
ones have found comfort and care
that could not be secured in any 9TH
er place. The young ladies have
been kindly received by the rest room
matron who has done all loving,
Christian woman could do to aid,
comfort, counsel and direct those
there needing such help.
We have no place in all of Webster
City, that has been more of credit
to our citizens and our city, and have
we better advertising method, a
better booster scheme, than that
afforded by the coming crowds who
are made welcome to the rest and
benefits of the rest room? Could
you hear the words of appreciation
and thankfulness spoken by those
benefited, you could understand bet
ter and Webster City would save eX-
penses some other way than closing
the rest room.
In the past nine days there have
been visitors from North and South
Minnesota, Illinois, Califor-
mia, Wisconsin, Nebraska, Missouri
and Canada, and from many other
points in oureown state, nearly four
hundred in all.
Can we afford to close the only
place in town where women can rest
and refresh themselves and who go
their way thanking those who pro-
vided such conveniencies, and adj
vertising Webster City.

The Month of Sneezes.

The Month of Sneezes.
Hay fever is responsible for 3d.
100000 sneeZes each year in Iowa.
At least that is the report of the
United States Hay Fever association
which has membership of about
10000 in this state. According to
the report issued there are about
100000 members in the United
States. Iowa being so far from the
headquarters of the association, it
is hard matter for the members
out here to secure very many copies
of the report. AS matter of fact,
| it is really doubtful if there are
many people in Iowa who care for a
copy of it. They have to contend
with the fever enough without hav-
ing to be worried by reading about
it in the report.
Since time immortal, August Is
has been the official time for the
opening of the hay fever season and
Judging by the number of red noses
and weeping eyes that are in evil
dence it is safe to assume that Iowa
has her full quota of members this
season.
AS above stated, there are 10000
sneezers in Iowa, according to the
|annual report The report goes on
Ito state that the average number OF
days that sneeZers sneeZe is forty
two each year. 1t having been
figured out that the average num-
Der of sneezes the sneezers sneeze
each day is seventy-three it is then
an easy matter to figure out that
the total number of sneezes sneeZed
each year by sneezers is 30,6G0,00O.
This accomplishment is matter o.
considerable pride to all members Of
the association.
THE HIGH COST OF WORKING.
Leslie's Magazine: Let us realize
the situation as it really is. The
high cost of living is due to the high
cost of working. Higher wages for
the coal miners means higher cost
for coal. Higher wages for the rail-
roads, or for any other great indus
try, means an increased cost to the
public.
The American workingman lives
better than the worker in any 9TH
er country. lie is more efficient,
more highly educated, and consti-
tutes more important element of
our citizenship We believe in high
wages, in good living, and the best
workers, for this means the best
workmanship.
The American Federation of Labs
or says that organized labor in the
United States had record last year
with higher wages and shorter hours
and less. unemployment than ever
known. 1t was record year. also
never was greater. 1t was a record
year for higher taxes and higher
rents.
We may as we'll make up our
minds that all of these things go to-
gether. You can not have higher
wages with shorter hours with a low
er cost of living and lower rents and
taxes.
The big pay envelope and the full
dinner pail and general prosperity
for the working masses are always
welcome. but let no one murmur if,
as result, the cost of living is in
creased and the burden of the rent
payer and taxpayer made heavier.
Some one must always foot the
bill. The high cost of working and |
the high cost of living go together.

GUARDSMEN RELEASED
Judge in U. s. District Court Favor able to Militiamen Detained for Military Duty at Birmingham.

Boston, Aug. 17.-Rockweu c. Ten ny of Springfield and Jay B. AngeVene of Brookline, members of the Massa- chusetts National Guard detained for military duty at the Birmingham mo- bilization camp after their refusal to take the oath of service, were ordered released on writs of habeas corpus by Judge Dodge in the United States district court today.
 The government asked for the dis missal of petitions in similar proceed ings filed by Clinton w. Jackson and Alfred F. Lowell of Boston on the ground that they had subscribed to the oath under the Dick bill and were mem bers of the militia. Denial of this statement was made by counsel for the men, who charged that they were mustered in under duress and by alleged threats of court martial.
 Judge Dodge announced that he would hear arguments on the motion later. It was expected that military officers would be called upon to testi- fly as to the charge of duress.
