young ladies were assembled there.

they worked they sang from time to
time his song, MY Country. IT'S of
Thee"
This led Dr. Smith to write the fol-
lowing beautiful lines:
@ WET in the innocence of
- youth,
Borne of the brave and free,
They wove fair garlands while they
sang
my country, It's Of thee"
How every bosom swelled with joy
And thrilled with grateful pride
As fond and whispering cadence
breathes,
Land where my fathers died."
AIR flowers in sweet bouquets
they tied
Breaths from the wales and
hills,
While childish voices poured the
strain,
Il love thy rocks and rills."
Each face grew radiant with the
thought,
Land Of the noble Free"
Each voice seemed reverent as it
trilled,
"Sweet land of liberty"
4 ND bud and bloom and leaf they
n bound
And babe the living keep
Unframed and pure the cherished
Where brave men calmly sleep;
And thus, while infant lips begin
To lisp Sweet freedoms song,"
Manhood's deep tones from age to
age
Shall still "the sound prolong."
I HAILED the promise Of the
scene;
Gladness was in the strain;
The glorious land is safe while love
Still swells the fond refrain;
And what shall be our sure defense
Who guards our liberty?
Not man, not arms alone; we look,

The seasons most exquisite vaTi-
alton of the lingerie dress is a sports
blouse of Georgette crepe and fiIet

The new garment is cut on the
lines of a silk sweateT-cOat, but it is
adapted by the fiIminess of the ma

midsummer day.
A feature of this most desirable
garment is the delicate hemstitching
that outlines all the edges.

But fashion always has favorite,
and her favoTite in this respect is for

THE TAMA BAPTIsTs
ARE LED TO VICTORY BY FORMER
oSkLO oSA GIRL.

Ethel Wentworth, mentioned in the
following item from the Tama, Iowa,
Herald, is a former Oskaloosa, girl
and pupil of Grant school;
The Tama young people, who with
Rev. and Mrs. o. H Sisson, attended
the Iowa Falls District Convention of
the Baptist church the week of July
,31 to August 7, gave a splendid ac-
count of themselves and their church
and Sunday school. The convention
is conducted largely as an institute in
which all the activities of the church
and Sunday school pertaining to young
people are given prominence and
many of the noted speakers and, in
structors along these lines were pres
ent. 1t was ten days institute, and
the Tama church was represented by
about a dozen each of boys and girls
from the Sunday school
They lived in tents, did their own
cooking and all had an enjoyable out
ing as well as had the benefits of the
convention, which is much like big
chautauqua meeting.
The Tama girls won the basketball
tournament and both single and
double championship in tennis. Miss
Ilene Mills won the singles over some
of the crack tennis players of the state
and Misses Margaret Moore and Ethel
Wentworth won the doubles in closely
contested sets over some strong teams.
The boy Scouts, under the leader
ship of Howard Coe, also made fine
showing.
The Tama contingent gave realis'
tic Indian pow-wow that attracted no
little attention and were prominent in
all the activities of the convention.

THE FIGHTING DIST
PREDECESSORS OF COMPANY H
IN SEVERAL BATTLES.

Company H of the Third Iowa Infan-
try, designated as the Fifty-First Iowa
United States Volunteers prior to the
Encouragement and REORGANIZATION of
the Iowa National Guard, few Years
ago, has some" reputation to live up
to, in the present conflict. AS the
Fighting Fifty-First" this regiment
was in the principal engagements OF
the Philippine campaign Of the Span
ish-American War, fought in 1898.
Company F of the Fifty-First, the
Oskaloosa militia organization, saw &C
tive service in the Philippines. Under
the command of Captain William IL.
Heating, the guard made an enviable
record.
The Fifty-First fought at San Rogue
on Feb. 9th, at Quinqua on April 23rd;
at Pulilan on April oath; at Calumpit
on April 25th; at San Tomas on May
4th. San Fernando was the seat OF nu-

TUBERS COME: BACK
HUGE CROP OF POTATOES RE.
STORES THEM TO DIET.

The huge potato crop which the Fed
ed in the United States this year
means that this important food staple
will be cheaper, and makes il possible,
says the United States Department OF
Agriculture, for American families
that had to cut down on potato con-
sumption because of high prices to re.
store the tuber to a prominent place
on their bill of fare.
The Department forecast, based on
reliable estimates from all parts of
the country, placed the total potato
yield at more than 467 million bush
els as compared with 2S5 million in
1916 and $50 million in 1915. Potatoes
of the current season are already in
the market in large quantities, and
since the early harvested tubers can
not be kept easily, should be eaten
more abundantly now if spoilage is to
be avoided.
Next to the breadstuffs, potatoes are
the most important food crop of the
western nations, the Department
points out They are all the more i'm
Dortant now that the worlds wheat
supply is short, since they furnish
starch, the principal food element con-
tributed by bread, and so may be con-
tributed in part for bread.

when the council UNDERTAKES

When the council undertakes to
pass an ordinance which is author
lied by the state, it acts as the agent
to the state, and if its acts are. I'M
reasonable, the unreasonable act is
the act of the state just as much as
if the legislature itself has passed a
law to the same effect. But where
the council, which. of course, is Of
limited powers, passed an ordinance
which never has been authorized by
the state, it Is not acting as the agent
Of the state and its act cannot be
said to be the act of the state. The
principle is worked out through the
ordinary rules of principal and agent
If an agent exercises power con
ferred by the principal, the principal
is liable for the unreasonable or i'm.
proper exercise of the power If an
agent exercised a power which never
was conferred by the principal, the
principal is not responsible except in
some peculiar cases where estoppel
may apply.
These distinctions are sound and
under their application, proceedings
such as are now before the court are
being tried in the Federal
Court without question as to juris-
diction. In any event, as the plead
ings in these cases, evidently pre-
scented in good faith, present sub
stantial controversy which the par
ties have a right to have tried, pro-
ceedings under the ordinance or or
dinances SHOULD be suspended pend
ing the trial. The present ruling,
as above stated, will not be held to
be final adjudication in the further
progress of the trial.
SO there will be an order as here
-ofore indicated, granting tempo
rary injunction in this case and in
he Oskaloosa Light & Fuel Com
lany case.
Counsel for plaintiffs have furn-
shed forms of order and am advised
nave furnished copies thereof to
counsel for defendants, to which de-
PENDANTS will, if so advised, make
objections as to form, and submit 1
he same to the court.
