 Rev. R. R. Parker of Hartford will give an illustrated lecture on Yellow stone park tonight in the Town hall. He will speak under the auspices Of the choir guild of the Chur.h of Our Saviour, the proceeds to be turned into the organ fund.
 While he understands that the highway commissioner proposes to lay permanent pavement on the Bris- tol road only as, far as the. Forestville : town line eliminating Plainyille from the improvement, Seiectman Johnson q stated today that the action cannot be because of the refusal of the local officials to pay part of the expense that the an1iesite might extend from curb to curb. Mir. Johnson has heard nothing whatever from the commits sioner concerning pavement for West Main street, although the contractor had talked with him about it. An a effort may be made by the local off, cials to have the commissioner con- tinue the pavement to Plainville cen- ter.

It is expected that the duke of the Abruzzi, cousin of King Victor Elm manuel, will head an Italian mission to the United States.

Several years ago he ffgured extensively in the news papers as suitor for the hand of Miss Katherine Elkins, daughter of Senator Elkins of West Virginia She Is now Mrs. Hit, but the duke has remained unmarried. He hes com manded the Italian navy and has won fame as an arctic explorer and mountain climber.

THE TARBELL TALK
NOTED LECTURER AND JouRN-
u ALlsT AT THE MASONIC.

ideals are the breath of life" Ida
NJ. Tarsell, noted lecturer and journ-
alist. declared in her address on In
dustrial Ideolism," at the Masonic
Theater last evening The absence
of idealism has been productive of
Americas greed for materialism or
gain. Child labor, the unemployed
thousands in hard TIMES, and the
high cost OF living in times of pros
perity are the miscarriages of justice.
"A peaceful nation unprepared for
peace" is the way Miss Tarbell sums
up the situation in the United States.
Antagonism existing between feder-
ated labor and organized capital is in
dicative of internal strife. Each
group Yields a deadly weapon of war,
labor making use of the strike, and
capital enforcing the lockout.
Can the United States have part
in the league to enforce peace, pro-
posed two weeks ago by President
Woodrow Wilson? Miss Tarbell an
swers, "A nation that cannot live in
peace at home, will have no force in
such a league"
1.-The European war is battle be-
tween nations, who believe that they
have no identical interests. No in
ternational peace body can be formed
until the first class powers agree to
defend the rights of others as we'll as
their own.
Miss Tarbell stands back of the
German situation. THE freedom Of
the high seas must be defended" she
declared. every paragraph of Inter
national Law cost the blood of count
less thousands, and was centuries In
making"
The national situation is similar to
| the international. The employers
must adopt measures protective o
labor and humanity. Already few
manufacturers have realized thai
labor is no longer commodity. The
golden rule in business will brins
about united nation.
Miss Tarbell was brought to Oska-
loosa under the auspices of the Penn
College Entertainment committee as
number Of the Penn Entertainment
| Course.
Attendance to the lecture was not
large, but representative of all classes
of Oskaloosa citizens. Her address
was we'll received and brought fortf
/ frequent applause.

MILITARY TACTICS
TWENTY-NlNE n IGH SCHOOL
BOYS IN TRAINING.

Twenty-nine high school boys re-
ported at the national guard armory
for military training at the second
drill held since the organization of the
cadets in the Oskaloosa high school.
The drill included instruction in the
fundamentals of military maneuvers
and discipline The cadets were di-
.ided into two squads, and the squads
placed in charge of Prof. Don Shep-
herd and a local national guardsman
The rockies" reporting took to the
drills readily and were soon marching
with no small degree of precision. An
eagerness to learn on the part of the
cadets is proving a great benefit to
it's appearance in the second drill in
a marked measure.
The cadets will drill in the local
armory until warmer weather permits
out of door training. In the absence
of Company H, Third Iowa Infantry,
those in care of the armory have gen
erously opened its doors to the high
school students.
No uniforms will be secured at
present. The cadets will drill in civ
ilian attire until the company meets
government requirements or becomes
permanently established as part OF
the high school course.
Training will be in charge of Prof
Shepherd, the organizer, and the
guardsmen who may offer their ser
vices to the high school.
Major ]. G, Bradbury, Second Regi-
ment Infantry, /. N. G., has long
sought to establish military training
in the Oskaloosa high school and to
promote such measures has frequent
ly offered his valued services to any
body OF students or civilians who
would organize for training. The
Majors offer no doubt will hold true
with the high school. and when the
Major returns from Brownsville, Tex
as. the cadets may receive instruction
from leading military officer of the
state and graduate of Oskaloosa
high school.

THE SHORT COURSE
THREE HUNDRED FIFTY-FOUR
BOYS, THIRTY-THREE GIRLS.

There were 354 boys and S3 girls
enrolled in the Junior Short Course
at Ames last week. The greater part
of them had their expenses paid from
prizes Won in acre corn. baby beef,
baby pork, canning clubs, and garden
contests. Prof. Bishop and his as
sistants outdid themselves in enter
tanning the Juniors and kept some
thing doing every minute.
Monday evening from to o'clock
the boys. were turned loose in the big
Gym. Tuesday evening at this hour
the boys and girls met in Margaret
Hall" for a big get together" meet
ing. .s
The general plan of the Short
Course week seems to be to learn how
to do by doing, and the classes in
stock and corn judging could not fail
to benefit the Juniors.
Four Mahaska county Juniors were
present: Clyde Mcclure of Barnes
City, who won in local corn growing
contest. The three other boys, Rus
sci Bridges, Guy Kitchener and Will
liam Sopher, were guests of Senator
Allen who paid the expenses of four
boys in each of the eleven districts in
the state, as prizes in the baby pork
contest. /,
| Senator Allen also supplied his Al
boys with dollar tickets to the big
; general banquet which was attended
by about eleven hundred Iowa farm
ers.
The girls made fine showing in
their exhibits of various kinds of
sewing, drawing, canning, etc. One
girl showed 24O kinds of canned fruit
and vegetables, all perfectly kept
Pres. r. A. Pearson gave special
address to the juniors in which he
gave them the word "chick" as the
key word to the things necessary to
sacress in life.

that Mahaska farmers will encourage

CITY IN THE MAKING MANY MOVING AWAY.
BUILDING OPERATIONS GOING ON
ABOUT THE TOWN.

In reviewing the paving done last
year by the cities of Iowa, the Munich
pal Journal gives Oskaloosa credit for
$3.50 square yards of brick paving.
This no doubt refers to the work done
on North Ninth street, A avenue east
and G avenue west, a total of five
blocks. This work was started so
late in the season, that it was held up
by the cold weather and will have to
be completed this spring. Added to
this the city put in some twenty-five
blocks of new cement sidewalks as
we'll as replacing quite a few brick
walks with that of cement. While
Oskaloosa may not show up very
large in the matter of paving, it does
show up largely in other directions
as the new sewerage disposal plant and
the extensions made to the storm
sewers will abundantly prove. Such
city improvements are indeed worth
while.
DUNG the present winter probably
more building has been going on than
for some years past And this ap-
plies to public improvements as well.
The repairs and changes to the filter
ing system of the Peoples Water Co.,
have been completed and the present
clearness of the water indicats that
it has been for the better. This
winter activity is unusual for Oska-
loosa and is fine omen for season
of decided activity for 1917. Con-
tractors are now more than busy and
are enthusiastic over prospects.
- =. -.
The Royal Cafe at 211 South Mar
ket street is even at this early date
in the throes of changes and alter
ations. The kitchen part is to be
extended back for some distance and
this will allow an enlargement of the
dining room. The walls are being
newly decorated, new equipment and
furnishings will be supplied and the
whole establishment brought to a
higher standard of excellence.

Repairs were promptly made to the
roof of the w. F. Rodgers house at
2O5 A avenue west after the fire
damage of a few days ago. The
damage was largely confined to the
attic but the lower floors were af-
| fected by water.

COUNTY HEALTH SURVEY

state Board of Health Meets Condi.
tions Prescribed by County Board
OF commissioners and Guarantees
$4,OOp-Will the County Now Ap-
propIiate $4,000.
DR.. L. A. Riser, director of Rural
sanitation of the State Board of
Health, telephoned the Sumter Cham
Der of Commerce yesterday that the
International Health Board and the
South Carolina State Board of Health
have agreed to appropriate two thou
sand dollars each, or four thousand
In all from these two boards, for the
proposed complete Sumter county
health survey, provided Sumter coun-
ty appropriates two thousand dollars,
making six thousand dollars available
Immediately. This was decided at a
conference yesterday between Finan-
cial Secretary Ferrell of the Inter-
national board and officers of the
South Carolina State Health Board.
The Secretary of the Sumter Chamber
OF Commerce was authorized by DR..
Riser to go ahead and try to get the
$4,000 from the Sumter county COM
missioners and the Sumter county leg
islative delegation, and DR.. Riser will
confirm his telephone message by
written guarantees which will be in
Secretary Reardon's hands tomorrow
DR.. Riser said that he and his con-
ferees of the two boards at yesterdays
conference felt that Sumter county
should certainly be given another OPP
pOrtunity to show what it wants to
do, owing to the great interest in the
proposed county health survey. and
because Of the determined efforts OF
the advocates of the survey under dis
advantageous and discouraging cir
cumstances.
1t Is now up to the Sumter county
legislative delegation and the County
Supervisor and County Board of Com
missioners. Secretary Reardon has
landed the four thousand dollars
from outside sources, as he said he
could and would do. But the four
thousand dollars offered will have to
be covered without delay as othe-
counties in this State are ready to
put up two thousand dollars against
four thousand dollars for a complete
county health survey. 1t looks good
to other counties.
Concerted and immediate action b.
Sumter and Sumter county citizens is
necessary If they wish the complete
county health survey. One man can
not land this big thing for Sumter
county. 1t is we'll worth the time and
efforts Of many mon and women to
get sumter county to appropriate two
thousand dollars.
