HON. FRANK ?. WOODS
PREDICTS VICTORY
Declare, That tho Republicans Will
Control Next Congress and
Elect President.

Washington, July 31.-Congress.
man Frank P. Woods. chairman Of
the Republican congressional com.
mittee. came out today in his first
campaign political declaration with
the statement that the Republicans
will not only elect Mr.. Hughes, but
will regain control Of the Senate.
"A careful survey of the situa-
tion,'' he says, makes it reasonably
certain that Of the successors to
Democratic senator's going out Of Of
flce ten and possibly eleven will be
Republicans and gain of nine sen
ators will give the Republicans con-
troll"
Mr.. Woods and other directors OF
the Republican campaign express
absolute confidence in getting con-
troll OF the House. The Democrats
have now a working majority of but
twenty-one, and few Of the Demo-
Gratis are from doubtful IL not from
recognized Republican districts. II
the Republicans are able to hold on
to the districts they now have and
take but eleven additional districts
from the Democrats they will have
control Of the House.

family have made 1t practice for the
past eight or ten years to gather here
from their various homes for fam
lily reunion and an outing. All the
members Of the family but one, re-
turned to their homes on Saturday
morning having had a delightful
time in spite Of the intense heat.

SOLDIERS ARE SHORT
ON AMMUNITION
Yet They are Within Shooting Dis
tance of Nine Thousand
Carranza Troops.

Brownsville, Texas, July 31.-Just
mile and half from the tent of
Col. E. R. Bennett. the headquarters
of the Third Iowa infantry, are g.
900 Carranza troops. They are gar
risoned in the city of Matamoras, di-
Frectly across the river from Browns
vile.
If they should become suddenly
hostile they could bring up few
pieces of artillery and drop some of
the shells our government sold them
into the Iowa camp.
It's rather uncanny to close your
eyes and go to sleep with the know!-
edge that an organized mob of grim
go-haters are encamped within
shooting distance of you.
It's rather unusual to be in that
position without ammunition.
For the Iowa troops as yet have
no ammunition, other than 1900
rounds they brought from home. And
that makes one shell for each man.

ten new candidates were taken into
fellowship with the order, a part of
them being from each of the two
places. The Webster City contin-
gent went over In autos, filing about
fifteen cars. They made parade
around town in the early evening
before leaving Tor the gypsum city
with banners and flags attached to
the cars. The banquet was served
after the initiatory degree was gone
through with, and the local mems
bers present report very enjoyable

SIREN WHISTLE OF
THRAShER IS HEARD
Oats of Hamilton County Will Run
About Forty.Five Bushels to
the Acre.

The sound of the siren steam
thrasher is heard in the land again
and the noise falls upon the ear OF
the farmer with several hundred
acres of oats as melodiously as a
strain of music. ~1
Thrashing is barely begun near
Webster City and the result SO far is
quite satisfactory to the farmer. The
yield is little light as far as the
early thrashing indicates, and will
go about forty-five bushels to the
acre, which is about the same as in
1914. The hot season came on with
such severity and remained with
such steadfastness that the heads
did not mature as under ideal condi-
tions. The straw is also short and
not of the heavy stand OF former
years, but the general run of this
variety of small grain Is satisfactory.
About eighty per cent, in the esti-
nation of some grain men. will not
be as heavy as last year.
Last year there were little old oats
and this year the country is full of
them, but 34a cents is being paid for
both old and new oats.
1t has been rumored that the pay
ing of the same price for old and
new oats is unprecedented, but such
is not the case. Eight out of ten
years, the same price is paid for
September oats rs is paid for Dec
ember grain. Oats have been 35
cents this season and will undoubt-
edly reach that figure or more again.
The oats market is almost as variable
as the weather.

v. 4. RICK OF WILL
|AMS GETS S. FINE
Member of the Town Council Ar
rested While Motoring in
Fort Dodge.

Fort Dodge, July 29.-W. H. Rick
who says he is a councilman at Will
liams, was arrested several days age
for speeding. He put up a $500
bond and was to appear this morning
at 1880. for hearing. He didn't
show up today, however, and the
$500 bond automatically came into
the possession Of the city.
81 don't believe in speeding" was
Rick's comment when arrested. II
told the boys at Williams to be on
the lookout and arrest anyone trying
to break records. But to tell the
truth, don't believe I'm guilty here.
You know this car can't go twenty
five miles an hour"
Rick, however, didn't have a
speedometer on his car, so he
couldn't say how fast he was going.

HON. {. ". CHAF|N
PLtASES AUDIENCE
Candidate for President in 19Os-l2
Speaks Here on National
Prohibition.

The auditorium of the Methodist
church was about two-thirds filled
Sunday evening to hear the ad.
dress by Hon. Eugene w. Chain OF
Tucson, Arizona. The fifth Sunday
In the month is always given over tC
the w. C. r. U. on which to hold a
union service with a temperance
speaker in the pulpit. Sunday night
was one of the hottest evenings OF
the season and for this reason the
address was cut short, only lasting
about forty minutes.
Mr.. Chafin is pleasing speaker
and used as his subject Prohibition
in 1916" He urged the use of me-
diums-church, education and law
through which to disseminate a pro-
hibition spirit. Through the ballot
alone however, he urged, will the
liquor traffic be finally eradicated
in America. The speaker cited his
hearers to the tremendous amount
of money spent upon liquor in the
United States and told what could be
done with that money if it might
have been used for missions.
The enormous expense of the Eur
opean war will be matched by the
billions of dollars which America
will be requested to give for missions
on the continent in the future.
Mr.. Chafin is persuasive speak
er and contrary to the methods so
frequently employed by prohibition
orators, made no reference to the
candidates for state offices from this
district or any other. No reference
whatever was made to the prohibit
tion party as political element, but
the inference chiefly to be drawn
was that of the educational features
embodied in the party of which he
was candidate for president in
1908 and 1912.

ROLAND DRIVER
RUNS INTO FORD CAR
Car Driven by Leslie Clifton Struck
by Big Eight Cylinder
Cadillac.

An automobile collision occurred
Sunday night about 8 o'clock on
west Second street between the Ford
car belonging to and driven by Les
lie Clifton, and big eight cylinder
Cadillac owned and driven by Olaf
Amonson Of Roland who, with his
daughter. was just coming into this
city from Lake Okoboji for a short
visit with the Peter Mathre family.
The car driven by Mr.. Clifton had
just stopped in front of the Clifton
residence in the 1900 block to allow
Mrs. Clifton to alight; two young
men friends of Mr.. Clifton were in
the back seat and the car was on the
right side of the street facing east.
when it was suddenly struck by the
Cadillac which was driving east also.
The Clifton car was driven by the
impact upon the curbing, about fifty
feet from where 1t had been stand
ing, and the rear axle was bent, be-
side several other damages to the
machine. None of the occupants Of
either car was injured. more than
a severe shaking up.
The Cadillac was badly damaged
and is in the garage today. The
driver stated that he saw the Ford
car farther back on the road. but
supposed it was going on east and
at the moment his machine struck it.
he was looking the other way. The
back of the front seat in the Ford
car was also broken by the force of
the impact and the occupants Of both
cars are indeed lucky to have escap-
ed serious injury.

GASOLINE THIEVES
OPERATING N CITY
VIM. Blankenbuehler Loses Fifty
Gallons Other Losses Have
,.,., Been Reported.

The price of gasoline is so high
that thieves are finding 1t profitable
to steal it. A few days ago VIM.
Blankenbuehler. residing on Walnut
street, had fifty gallons put into his
tank in the barn and that night
thieves stole the entire supply. 1t
has been reported that other lesser
quantities have been taken from pri-
vate tanks in various parts OF town
during the past few weeks. 1t ap-
pears that some thieves are work
ing the game for all there is in it.
1t may be they have some place to
dispose Of it at figures less than the
usual price. 1t is best for people
having gasoline in barns and gar
ages to keep it under lock and key.
