Sixty Relatives and Two Friends of the
Family Gather From All Parts OF
Country for Good Time

The home of w. r. Eubanks at
Hansen was the joyful meeting place
of sixty members of one great family,

parents met to spend last Sunday
with one another, and all day long
they continued their funmaking and
recollections of old times not forgot
ten. Among those who gathered for
the feast and funmaking were Mr..

family, consisting of Betty, Ida, Alta,
Thelma, Loren, and Mr.. and Mrs.
Clyde King and children, Velma and
Mitchell King, Mr.. and Mrs. II. E.
Packwood and their children, Lois,
Earle, Clarence and Harold. This is
one family of several.
The gathering occurred at the home
of w. r. Eubanks and wife. They, of
course were present, together with
their sons and daughters, as follows:
George, Ray, Flora, Kent, Oren, Ches-
ter, MIR. and Mrs. Bremmer, and their
children, Donald, Wilburn, Howard.
There was also Horace Eubanks and
wife and children, Lucille and Orville.

found impossible to provide a table
large enough to entertain all Conse
quently the sumptous spread of fried
chicken, gravy, salads, one dozen fruit
cakes, pies, pickles, sandwiches anC
ice cream, was served cafeteria style
Mrs. Grant King, Mrs. Clyde King, Mrs
Bessie Packwood, Mrs. George Brem
mer, Mrs. Arthur Town served as thu
remainder of the crowd passed by the
long table and picked out according t.
their own choice, that which the.
, most desired. Then some went out OF
the lawn, others found chairs in tn
house, some went here and other
,, there in jolly groups and made merr
together until the close of the day.

and other advertising agencies, and
by banks and other concerns and by
individuals, the secretary contradicts
the impression that the government
asked for free advertising or paid for
in the first Liberty Loan campaign
any advertising in the newspapers.
The great success of the loan he at
tributes in a very great degree to the
voluntary and patriotic work and ad-
vertising space periodically given free
to the government
While acknowledging the tremen-
dous value of advertising the secre-
tary points out that the relation OF
the government to the press and to
the public generally is such that the
question of paid advertising by 1t pre-
SCENTS a problem very much more COM
MEX than it would be to a private en-
terprise The government cannot use
the thorough discrimination as 70
the mediums it should use, but would
be obliged to be thoroughly demo-
cratic and impartial and the cost OF
such an undertaking would be very
great and would exceed the appropria-
ton available under the existing law.
The secretary, however, states that
the matter is being very carefully con-
sidered. but a decision cannot be ar
rived at until a better knowledge is
had as to the cost of the campaign
and until the appropriation available
for the purpose has been settled by
congress.

Second Liberty
Loan Very Soon
Bond Issue VIII be Placed on the
Market Not Later Than November
advertising Question

WASHINGTON-S McAdoo
of the treasury has issued a statement
that the campaign to sell the second
issue of Liberty Loan Bonds will close
on the first of November, 1917, and
the active campaign will begin not la
ter than a month before that date.
The secretary explains that details
of the second loan cannot be given out
until final action has been taken by
congress upon the war bond bill now
pending but announces that as soon
as a new law has been passed the de-
tails will be given out.
The secretary expresses a hope that
all existing Liberty Loan committees
will perfect their organizations and
new organizations be effected in readi-
ness for the next campaign.
AS in the first campaign the cam
paign in each Federal Reserve district
will be under the supervision of the
Federal Reserve bank, which will act
as the fiscal agent of the government
The question of whether the United
States government should engage in
policy of paying for advertisement il
the newspapers has been much agitat
ed of late, especially in regard to the
selling of Liberty Loan Bonds. This
being a strictly money matter the
question comes up more squareiy il
connection with it than with registra
ton, food conservation or other gov
ernmental matters given publicity.
Secretary McAdoo of the treasur.
has issued a statement dealing witt
this matter After referring to tn
great amount of advertising patriotic
ally given to the Liberty Loan Bond

$1,000 VIII He Raised.

The knights of Columbus in Web
ster City are in the midst of campaign
to raise $1,000 for the recreation
camps being established by the Catho-
lies at the environments in this coun-
try and the army camps in Europe.
They have raised $500 at the present
time and arc working hard to get the
quota assigned them.
The Webster City council is the only
Knights of Columbus organization in
Hamilton county. 1t has members in
all the towns surrounding, including
Eagle Grove, Clarion, Iowa Falls and
other places equally distant So many
OF their members living elsewhere,
however. have made contributions
direct to their state chairman in Des
Moines that Bishop Smith Council
here is having difficulty in getting as
much money as hoped for. The
Catholic recreation camps are recog-
nized by the government in the same
manner as the army Y. M. c. A. and
local Knights are specially anxious to
raise their allotment. They have con-
fined their campaign Of solicitation
strictly to Catholics, though contribu-
lions from anyone will be gratefully
received. A number outside this
church have contributed. which shows
a fine spirit of co-operation-the same
spirit that prompted many Catholics
to give cheerfully during the campaign
for the army Y. NJ. c. A.

Excursion to Deming.
PAGE FOUR | \

0. D. West has interested himself
in movement FOR big excursion to
Camp Cody at Deming, N. NJ, about
January Is. twill be the last chance
that Hamilton county people will have
to see the soldiers before their depart
ure for France. The impression pre-
walls that the men at Camp Cody will
be off for France in the early spring.
Disquieting rumors have been in cir
culation here for several days, how
ever, that the mon at Cody will be off
before the end Of the present year.
This rumor cannot be confirmed.
Mr.. Vests plan is to run a special
car through from Webster City with
out change to Deming, N. M. Above
$50 families in Hamilton county have
relatives at Camp Cody. The trip Mr..
West is planning will cost less than
$50 for railroad fare, sleeping accom-
modations and meals enroute. He be-
lieyes there are enough people in the
county who want to see the boys again
before they depart for foreign soil, to
make IN a spa"a! car here Cor q round
trip to ecycr .e..5l CT ten days
or SO.
