CREATES
MUCH INTEREST
Report Made by Miss Charlotte Cros'
ley at Ames is Eagerly List
ened To.

Miss Charlotte Crosley recently at
tended the meeting of the state as
sociation of librarians, which was
held at Ames.
A form of cooperation with high
schools, consisting of instruction
in the decimal system of indeXing
books, the use of the card catalogue,
and many other valuable ideas in
connection with library work, has
been suggested in previous meetings.
Miss CrOsley took up the work most
assiduously, and when she completes
the lessons which she will give the
senior class in the high school. she
will have conducted over seventy
classes in library instruction. Not
another librarian in the state could
in any way compare with this record
hot even the president of the asso-
|ciation.
Miss Crosley's report of her work
done here was eagerly listened to by
those present, and they all declared
their intention of pushing the work,
as she has done it. Webster City
may feel pleased with the showing,
not alone for the prominence it gives
our library in the work. but for the
incalculable amount of good it has
done every boy and girl that has
taken the course. One hears such
comments as these from the pupils
I'm only sorry l didn't have this
work the first year l was in high
school, instead of my third" Just
think of the time I've wasted by not
knowing those things before" 81
wouldn't have missed that work for
anything I'm perfectly amaz-
ed to find out what is in that library,
and find more new things all the
time"
Miss Crosley, though not soldier,
is the daughter of one who served his
country we'll. and she is surely doing
her "bit" for better citizenship by
donating this work. tim mhkAnd ener-
gy so freely to the your >ople of
the community. ,,ma,e.,.

Williams HOLDS FNTHUS-
IAST|C PATRIOTIC MEETING
hearty applause.

nearly applause.
Col. Hyatt was then called upol
and began his talk by saying tina
he had never been neutral-that HI
Twas pro-German-and still believed
in the absolute loyalty Of the Ger
jman-American citizens, adding, O.
course, that he did not place theil
loyalty above the Scotch, Irish, Ital
ian or French. He told of the com
pany of guards in the western par,
of the state which was made up al
most entirely of German descent
yet that company was the first in the
regiment to be recruited up to wal
strength. Col. Hyatt also spoke OF
the advantages that could be gained
by selectiveI conscription, saying
lit would be the means of placing in
the army a large number of men
who had heretofore been of very lit
tie good to their family or their
country.
Major Lund followed this talk, and
while he admitted that he was pre-
ceded in rank by Col. Hyatt, he did
not relish the idea of listening to
the colonel talk of the loyalty of the
several different nationalities and
forget to mention the Scandinavians.
The major confined his talk largely
to local enlistments and advised the
young men not to wait to be drafted,
and take chances of going to any
unit the bill would call for, but to
get busy and. enlist while there was
an opportunity for the applicant to
become a member of his choice of
units.
w. j. Forgan then sang medley,
pertaining larg' ly to "The Grand
Old Flag" and this was followed by
the concluding numbers, my Coun-
try 'Tis of Thee and "The Star
Spangled Banner" by the band.
At the close of the meeting at the
opera house, the visitors were es-
corted to cafe, where a feed, al
most as interesting /. at the a songR
speeches and band music, was staged
and any one who watched the
four officers perform with table uten-
sils will agree with the writer that
if they are as we'll skilled in war;
fare, this country has little to fear.
But it, was a grand gathering and
Williams will be heard from concern
ing young men who care to enlist.

Arch Foster Presents G. A. r. Post
With Beautiful Flag in Mem
ory Of Father.

A surprise was in store for the
members of the G. A. r. who gather
ed at their regular meeting place in
the library Saturday afternoon and
behcld beautiful silk flag, the gift
of Arch Foster in memory of his faith
Ter, John Allen Foster. a veteran of
the Civil war. Mr.. Foster was one of
the first to volunteer in 1861 and
was wounded during the battle of
Gettysburg. After spending some
time in the hospital and taking a
short furlough, he returned to the
army and served during the remand
er of the war. The following explain
atory lines were read by Commander
A. A. Cook:
In honor of my father, John Allen
Foster, now deceased, l hereby pre-
sent to Winfield Scott Post, Number
SC, of the Grand Army of the Repub-
lie, of Webster City. Iowa. the United
States flag accompanying this letter.
My father was member of Com
pany E, Fifth Pennsylvania Volun-
teer Infantry, and took part in the
great struggle of 1861 to 1865 as a
Union soldier.
take great pleasure in behalf Of
my said father and in my own behalf
of making this presentation.
Arch Foster.
The flag which honors the memory
of the Civil war veteran is one of the
most beautiful national emblems ev-
er seen. 1t is five by eight feet in
size and is all hand made of the fin
est banner silk, unlike regular flag
silk. The forty-eight stars are en-
broidered on the blue silk background
and the thirteen red and white strip
es are formed of ribbon. These beau
tiful stars and stripes will be used at
burial services and on such patriotic
occasions as Memorial Day.

will be able to give the public not
only larger loaf but a better quail
'ity of bread for their money than
they have been able to do since the
price of flour advanced.
A comparison is drawn relative to
the weight of package of puffed
wheat and loaf of bread. A package
of puffed wheat weighs three ounces
and sells for fifteen cents, ten cent
loaf of bread, the reduced loaf,
weighs just sixteen ounces.
1t is undoubtedly fact that with
last years shortage in the wheat
fields, the vast quantities being ship
ped abroad to relieve the food short
age of our allies and present indica-
tions that much spring wheat was
winter killed, the bread situation
will assume serious proportions in
this country during the next year.
However, one source of trouble can
be remedied, and that by the govern
ment's taking over the supply of
grain and supervising the distribu-
tion of the coming harvest, thereby
the trusts and combines,
who take advantage of the public's
need to force from them unjust tri-
butte.

Many New Settlers.

From six hundred ard fifty to
eleven hundred families have been
added to the population OF North
ern Wisconsin IN the last sixteen
months through the efforts OF the
immigration division OF the state
department OF agriculture, accord
ing to b. G. Packer, director OF the
immigration division.
OF these eighty per cent come
from farms in other states, the other
twenty per cent being men aud
women from the large cities
In the last sixteen months we
have received 5000 inquiries from
people regarding land IN northern
Wisconsin, said Packer These
inquiries are due direct to the ct
forts Of the immigration division.
The department maintains an
Office in Chicago where those inter

Look. Like Wet Dry Election.

1t now seems probable that if the
referendum bill on the liquor ques-
ton is to be submitted to a vote of
the people, the date at which the
vote is to be taken will be changed
from November, 1918 to April
1918.
This change in the situation has
been brought about by a general
agreement among all OF the politi-
cal leaders that if the measure is to
pass it should be submitted at a
time when it will not get state and
legislative candidates mixed up
over the issue. 1t is claimed here
that were the issue to be presented
in November, 1918, there would be
a candidate for governor or the " ct
issue and one on the dry issue and
that the same would be true in
every senate and assembly district.
Moreover. there seems TO be a

Eighty per cent of our queries
are from people who average a cap

by Southern Minnesota, and ex-
tending as far south as Pana, Ill.
As an instance Of the work the
immigration IS doing, Packer ex-
hibted a letter from Goodland

Twelve families in this section
