twelve contestants, three from each
of the four districts of the state.

a fine reception was held in the par

the guests were royalty entertained.

know that our own Supt. Kelly years

Birdhouses Sell Well,

All but three of the forty-fve bird
houses entered in the Cash & Lehn-
hard contest have already been sold
and those three will no doubt soon
be disposed Of. The park commission
were very liberal in buying for the
various city parks and individuals
all over the city bought for their own
premises. Not many people in the
lefty realize chat this bird house con-
test just closed was the most re-
markable in the state this year, in
that the prizes offered were twice as
large as any other town offered in
contests of the sort, and that so many
boys entered their handiwork. Cash
Ia Lehnhard are already planning
such contest for next year in this
city and longer time will be given
the boys for the completion of their
work. Some of the bird boxes were
little gems of artistic beauty and
there were few that did not show
some mark Of originality. Next year,
the firm in establishing such con-
test, will send a representative to
every town in the county beforehand,
to awaken enthusiasm and interest
in the contest and will double the
number of contestants.

There should be bird house on
every residence lot in the city. Let
us make that the slogan for this
town-a bird house for every resi-
dence lot. It has been suggested
that a beautiful martin house in the
court house park would add greatly
to the appearance of the park, as
well as attract more song birds to
the place. There are now some soap
box houses elevated in the park but
a real birdhouse, painted and we'll
would be a distinct adj
dition to the little beauty spot of
that section Of town.

The Ku Klux's Warning.

The Ku Klux's warning to intend
ed victims was three dried peas.
Singular, but the order itself was
singular, and did nothing after con-
ventional lines. These would be
sent the marked man at intervals
and no word to accompany them. II
he were residing in the south during
those troublous days, he would know
the significance of those mysterious,
but seemingly harmless peas, and if
he were guilty of a misdeed against
either the cause of the south and of
it's traditions or the silent, deadly
band who thus RENE mbered him, his
days were surely numbered and
there was no escape from their ven
geance but by death at his own hand
and seldom was there that. One
dared not breathe the name of the
organization for fear his nearest
neighbor might belong to it and
many a man suddenly disappeared
because of unguardedly making a
careless remark about the Ku Klux
Khan.
When first hastily gotten togeth-
er, it is said, this organization en-
rolled the best blood in the Old
South, but after their specific mis-
sion was completed and stable law
regulated the rights of the southern
people, they disbanded, when the
lloodlums and desperate characters
of the land took up the order and US
ed it to cover their own deeds, thus
bringing down upon the name of the
"Clansmen" the odious reputation
they have ever since borne. Many
blood curdling tales were told OF
their doings and secret and deadly
workings.
The rides and rescues of the Ku
KIux so graphically and dramatical-
ly set forth in "The Birth of Ma

CLAMATORY CONTEST
Some Particulars Of Contest at Car.
roll Where Miss Louise
Swanson Won Medal.

In the state declamatory contest at
Carroll last Friday evening at which
time Miss, Louise Swanson of the
Webster City high school won first
place in dramatic class with her rem
dition Of "How the LaRue Stakes
Were LOST a few side lights upon
the evening are of interest.
The contest was held in recently
constructed tabernacle upon the
main streets of the town, in which
an evangeIistic meeting is soon, to be
held, the opera house having re-
Gently been condemned as unsafe. An
audience of about 500 people were
present and it is said that the en-
thusiasm when the decision of the
judges was announced was very
great. Miss Swanson had her audi
ence with her at the beginning and
retained their breathless attention to
the end. "A slightly unusual feature
of the demonstration was the fact
that the decision of the. judges seem
ed also to have been the decision of
the audience, who We're generous
with their praise of the winners.
Second place was taken by
Miss Leona Hortung of Waterloo in
the dramatic class. First place in
the oratorical class was taken by
Percy Edwards of Oelwein, and sec
ond place by Harold Morris Of Valley
Junction. First place in the hum
orous class was won by Mildred
Beckett of Northwood, and second
place by Margie Bunting of Shelby.
No contestant was awarded the
unanimous decision of the judges.
Miss Lane and Miss Swanson are
speaking in high terms of the hos
pitality extended by Carroll to her
visitors, automobiles meeting them
at the station and conveying them to
the places of entertainment. An at

THE BABY By E:XIA|i|IuNA-
ton MARKINGS
Marcelyn Beatrice Thompson, 16
Months Old, Scores 9S $40 in
|. Examination.

I At the Better Baby examination
held at the Baptist church all day
Saturday there were thirty-five ba-
bies examined, but only thirty-three
who finished every examination, in
lcluding dental, throat and mouth,
ETC. Webster City ought to rank very
thigh and very pear the top notch
with her babies for the combined av-
erage of all was 93.97-100.
Marcelyn Beatrice Thompson, 16
months old and the daughter of Mr..
and Mrs. Hugh Thompson Of this
city, had the best score with mark
ing Of 90 9-10 in physical and men
tai tests. This child was perfect in
mentality, perfect in eye, ear and
nose but was marked off on account
|of being q trifle over weight and
delayed teeth, not possessing as
many as the standard calls for at 16
months.
Three babes tied for second place,
each with a marking Of 81 $40;
some Of these were marked off for
trifling defects, such as a little too
much avoirdupois, too tall, too
short, a cold Sore crooked teeth,
.blemish on the body, etc. But in
mentality the babies all were par
excellent.
OF the thirty-three whose examin-
ations were finished, none were
marked under IS in the. mentality
test which calls for 20 to be perfect.
Five babies were 19a in mentality
and the proud mothers will each re-
ceive the marked score cards which
they will scan with more excitement
than they ever did a report card at
school.
The entire week was withal one Of
the most far reaching in effect
which has ever been conducted in
this CITY. eliminating as it did,
with the baby examination, it was
brought to a most effective climax.
A Better Baby examination next
year also, will be one of the things
to be worked for.
