Nav Do Better This Year.

The Stanhope Enterprise takes a
little shot at Webster City concern
ing the base ball teams of last seas
ION. The Enterprise carries the i'm
preston that because the league team
forfeited large share of their games
and the independent team was loser
from a financial standpoint. last seas
on. theX should think twice before
hopping to it this season.
The Eastman Kodak Co. was a dig
loser the first year. II took the Tex
as Oil Company several years to get
a good start. The Des Moines Tribune
was a financial failure for year or
two--aw, bugs! Guess Webster City
needn't get cold feet and crawl into
the tall timber just because she went
and spent few dollars that did not
net reasonable result.

1t also reminds us that several
moons ago, we agreed to furnish the
readers of this paper with narra-

columns of that dope has lain about

And now that war has actually

There are several thousand tnlngs
which we forgot to mention in the

will call our attention to any par

they will be interested, we will be

We also wish to say that the reas-

NO MAY n FETE BY
SCHOOLS THIS YEAR
Will Forego the Usual Spring time
Features on Account Of I'm
usual Heavy Work.

There will be no May fete given
by the pupils Of the Webster City
schools this year. For two years
teachers and pupils have worked
hard for weeks prior to- the May
event, giving their best time and at
tention outside of school hours to the
preparation Of the songs. drills, folk
dances, etc, which have delighted
the public, but this year on account
OF a school year of unusually heavy
work, it has been thought best to
forego the usual springtime feature.

Lot Owners Should Help.

People owning vacant lots up
on which nothing is planted, should
consider it their duty to aid in the
production of food this season by
renting at a reasonable figure to the
children who desire to make gardens.
Not only children, but many grown
folks are planning to do considerable
gardening this summer if they can
secure the lots.
Vacant lots are renting for So and
So where they are good and tillable,
and some are being given for the
good cause without any rent.
Those at the head of the garden
ling enterprise are finding 1t hard to
Interest the older boys and girls of
THE high school in the raising of
large gardens, as they should do this
summer. Parents may aid in this en-
Encouragement in many WAYS. A city
! lot may be planted to onions, pota-
toes, carrots, white beans or cabbage
and there will be no surplus upon
the market of these vegetables.
A garden on a city lot will take
time, but it will also raise a lot
OF vegetables. There is no place in
(which. aided by weather. labor will
produce more results than the soil.
The work of cultivation of the
lsoil is satisfying in more ways than

would in spare moments cultivate a
city lot this summer would get more
than the ayoirdupois of vegetables. or
the amount of money made, after a

for cultivation of the soil carries
with it certain Joy of creation
making something to grow-that is
Its own reward. like virtue.
1t is said that there are many va
cant lots in the west part of the city.
but young people are having diff
lculty renting these on account of the
fact that the owners do not want the
lsOd disturbed by the pillow. The pillow
should go before the lawn mower or
the beauty of vacant stretches of
grass this season, when the necessi-
tiles of life are almost out of reach.
