Speaking of a former resident Of
Oskalosa the Washington Press says:
Mrs. Belle Rice makes her announce.

county recorder on the Republican
ticket. We have before intimated that
Mrs. Rice would be a candidate and

SCHEDULES ARE MADE
Penn College Will Have Busy Ball
and Field Season .

Coach J. L. Lee of Penn college,
who represented the local institution
at the coaches and managers meeting
at the University of Iowa, Saturday,
succeeded in signing up the most at
tractive base ball and foot ball sched-
ules, and has a gridiron season which
rivals that of any other school in the
Iowa Conference. Penn secured
dates easily, when schools that have
been in the conference for some time
experienced much trouble in booking
satisfactory games.
The best teams of the state of Iowa
will be seen here in diamond and
gridiron contests and a schedule has
been prepared which far outshines
the expectations of the Quaker
school. In base ball Highland Park,
Leander Clark, Morningside or Du-
buque, Trinity and Simpson will meet
the Quakers on the local field. Re-
turn games will be played also with
the majority of these colleges.
But the 1916 football schedule is
the greatest and most pleasant sur
prise of all. Drake has offered
Penn the first game of their season;
Highland Park, Simpson, Grinnell
and Monmouth are the leading home
dates; Coe, Cornell and Iowa Wesley.
an will be met on foreign fields. The
Iowa Wesleyan game will be the one
Of @
on, coming on October 26, when Iowa
Wesleyan celebrates her college day
known as Founders Day. Central
also wants a game with the Quakers
and will be met in the early fall.
Coach Lee states that Penn is rated
high among the conference schools
and that he experienced the most sat
isfactory results when signing up the
coming tentative schedules. Several
contests booked by the local insti-
tute were offered to Penn, when
many schools older in the conference
were seeking dates.
This recognition comes as reward
for the success of the Penn coach,
who was able to start with a strag-
Cling, inexperienced football squad
and besides teaching them a new
brand of football, developed a team
that tied for second place in the
hawkeye Conference.

One day there arrived In the play
room Japanese doll named O'Toyo,
and all the other dolls and toys stared
hard at poor little O'Toyo and won
dered what she could be.
1T looks to me like jumping-j jack
with a dress on" said Teddy Bear.
Il saw one once with clothes on, and
il was awfully funny, but it had a
cap on, and this one has such thick
black hair"
Il think it is one Of those creatures
they pinch and it claps its hands and
makes noise on little brass plates"
said the woolly dog.
But it has no plates in It's hands,
said Teddy Bear. you don't suppose
it is a new kind of doll, do you?"
"a doll" shifted the French doll
Marie. 1T may be doll, but | never
saw a doll before with face like
that creature. They make pretty coils
not such faces as that creature has.
well, you don't seem to know very
much about it," said a big Santa
Claus who held a tree in his arm and
had been put on a shelf Tor next

new arrival is. She is a Japanese
doll all the way from Japan"
"A Japanese doll" repeated Marie,

'If YOU like thick, straight hair
suppose it is pretty" said Marie, look
! ing at her curls on the dressing table,
J in front of which she was sitting.
{ The next night the little mistress OF
the playroom left O-Toyo sitting In
chair close to Marie, and when the
midnight hour struck Marie looked at
her and said: II guess you are glad
| to have on dress instead Of that
ugly old kimono?"
"Oh, Marie, | am SO unhappy" said
O-Toyo, Il cannot breathe In this
dress and besides that l do not look
as pretty as you do in the American
dress. How wish your little mother
would not put your clothes on me"
Marie was pleased that O-Toyo
called her pretty, SO she said: You
don't want to wear a kimonO all the
time do you? There isn't any style to
a kimono. | am sure you will look
very well when you have your hair
curled
"Oh You do not think she will curl
my hair, do you?" cried O-Toyo. Il
could not bear that"
What, not have your hair curled?"
said Marie. why, don't they wear
Curls in Japan
"Oh, no. Marie, all the ladies there
wear their hair smooth and glossy
and we have such pretty kimonOs and
such beautiful flowers and houses

The next night when the clock struck
IL Marie was wearing OToyos pref

beside her in pretty muslin dress

Marie, you do look so pretty In
my kimono." said O-Toyo. II wish
you could see yourself. Do try to look

Marie lifted her head and caught
sight of the pretty blue and white
kimono. 1t was very becoming to her,
so she smiled.

Marie.

suits, balls, bats and the other par
 aphernalia necessary to the, proper staging of a frst-class game. The
 baseball club treasury now contains
 about sixty dollars, but this sum will have to be increased considerably be- fore team to represent the city can be counted upon for this summer. There is plenty of material for a good club in Valdez. In previous years Valdez has had the best club anywhere around, and there is no reason why she cannot maintain her proud position except the lack of funds. The fans are considering ways and means to raise the money, and several projects have been sug- gested. The one which appears most feasible at this time is the passing around of a. subscription paper and giving everybody an opportunity to
 give what they can toward the pro- ject, and it is believed that this plan
 will be adopted.
 The games played here have been a source of great deal of pleasure to the residents of the town ill years past, and when the cost is considered it is one of the cheapest amusements that can be produced. The boys have given their time freely, and have asked nothing in return except that they be provided with uniforms, bats, balls. gloves, etc., and it is only fair that the people of the town should subscribe toward the purchase
 of these.
 Within few days subscription
 paper will probably be circulated and it is hoped that every person will put
 down his name for what he can af
 ford to give, Liberality in this case
 will be returned by the opportunity
 to witness some good ball games
 which will be extremely interesting.

HOW LAPS SETTLED PROBLEM

s' r. :.AA---st-
 Emperor Yoshi Hito has adop:ed very stiff attitude in connection with the torpedoing of the Japanese liner Osaka Maru in the Mediterranean few weeks ago by German subma- rine without any warning or provis- ion made for the safety of the civil ian passengers of various, natfonali- ties on board.
 For, according to the explanation furnished by his minister of foreign affairs iA .e senate at Tokio. he caused the German and Austrian governments to be informed that in the case of any repetition of the of- fence by either of the Central Powers he would not only cause all the Ger man and Austrian subjects now at liberty in Japan to be vigorously i'm prisoped but would also select from among them a number corresponding to that of the lives lost through the torpedoing of any Japanese liner and
 would have them shot without any further trial and with the shortest possible shift.
 As there are a very large number of German and Austrian, subjects in
 the Japanese islands, who, ,-suhi' to certain amoul. of police sur veilance. have been allowed to remain at large and go about their business, and, as, moreover, the Japanese have in their custody all the Gefssap gar rison and population of the Kaiser's

Chinese colony of kiau-Chau, while there are no Japanese either in Ger
 many or Austria, the Mikado may be
 said to have hold of the big end of
 the stick. n4
 This has evidently been realized at Berlin and at Vienna, for, although
 Japanese liners still traverse the Med there has been no further instance of any of them being inter- fered with by either German or Aus trian submarines.
 Of course, the positions of Japan
 and the United States with regard to submarine warfare are somewhat diff ferent, for whereas Japan is full |fiedged belligerent, which has de prived Germany of that Chinese col ony on which she has spent such very large sums, this country is merely a neutral power Still, President Will
 son may derive some encouragement in the attitude which he has assumed from the results achieved by the strong stand taken by Emperor Yo-
 shi HltO.

A SAMPLE OF BUNK"

Ernest Erickson is a capable, fear less, honest man; a good workman and a square fellow-but he walks over the Dock Company's wharf ev- ary morning and therefore will make an unfair councilman.
 ,. James Patterson is a hard working blacksmith of more than ordinary ability, and will go into the council without any boss pulling the strings for him, and telling him how to con- duct city affairs-away with him!
 Charles Crawford is a man who has demonstrated to our citizens that he has abundant pluck and .self-reliance. Although burned out clean by the big fire he has built up another big busi- ness and has demonstrated beyond question that he could handle the af- fairs of the city successfully, His in- tegrity is unquestioned, and no man can say that Charlie Crawford would give him a crooked deal-but his business is on the tideflats, there fore he would make a bad council man!
 And so on down the line. Every man on the Citizens Ticket is a good, clean, straightforward, successful, en- terprising fellow. with no strings to him, and willing to give all men a square deal.
 But, if they walk down to the wa terfront and look out over the tide flats, they are straightway disquali- fled by our local agitator.

 It is not the Prospector's ticket, but a Citizens Ticket, handed in by business men who are not in politics, and who have no desire to do more than put a stop to the unseemly polit- ical fight which has hurt our city so much in the past
