TENDENCY TO CONSOLIDATION.
TWebster CITY Jollrnall

... [Webster City Journal
The Fort Dodge Messenger and
Chronicle have consolidated. The tend
ency of the times is toward consolida-
toin in the newspaper field and the
Journal predicts that the new consol-
idated daily at Fort Dodge will be a
paper of which every citizen may he
proud. Duplication in the newspaper
field is expensive and two evening DAHL
les in Fort Dodge was mere duplica-
ton, SO far as the business interests
were concerned

FISHING AND WISHING.

Catching fish in Iowa, is becoming a
case Of the early bird gets the worm.
Use of nets in the hands Of profese-
sional fishermen, clean out many OF
the most inviting fishing holes before
any great number Of sportsmen, have
the opportunity of catching a string
The Illicit fisherman is conversant
with conditions and is prompt to
take advantage Of the chance to net
a few tons. No sooner does a stream
reCede than he finds his way to the
bayous and sloughs and sweeps them
clean 1t is the prevalence of this prac-
tice which accounts for live fishing
places becoming mere mud holes over
night
Iowa sportsmen pay a considerable
sum annually for the protection Of fish
and game. 1t is unfortunate that q
greater measure of protection, can not
be offered. New York state has shown
what can be done by a department
which works in the interests of clean
sport. A thirty run from Gotham
will give the angler more exhilaratinS
days sport than he can find in far less
thickly settled Iowa. Stocking streams
with fish. will avail little If the mer-
cenary fisherman is to alone enjoy the
benefit. Instead of fishing, it's case
Of wishing with the Iowa angler.

FACING GRIM FACTS.
TDayenport Times

The life insurance man will tell you
that his business has never been bet
ter than during the recent months. II
Is not so much because of the general
prosperity in many lines Of business
or the accumulation of more money to
invest, as because never before in re-
cent years have the people, taken as
a whole, had the grim facts of death
brought SO forcibly to their attention
as in the last few months.
Men and women everywhere have
been giving more thought to questions
Of life and death. to the idea of serv-
ice to others. than at any time in a
generation. And when thought is de-
voted to such things-to love of coun-
try to duty to country, to dying for
the flag, If need be-men's minds, as
a matter of course, turn to their duty
to family and to the need of protect
ing them as best they can against loss
to wife and children that would be
caused by the possible death of the
bread winner.

Obituary

On August IS, 1917, Mrs. Belle
Moore passed into that peaceful slum-
Der from which there is no awaken
ing and her spirit TO her new home in
the great beyond at the age Of Sc
years. Fannie Belle Mallory when a
beautiful young girl of 81, was a
ried to William c. Moore and a happy
home was established. Four little
children came to sanctify the home and
then in the midst of great prosperity
and happiness the father was taken.
Mrs. Moore then moved from the
farm to Mexico to educate her chill
dren. Never having. had superior
educational advantages herself, she
was determined that her children
should have a classical education and
she made every sacrifice that vas
necessary to that end. Her life was
spent in the training and advance
ment of her children and was
a mother permitted to see more sat
isfactory results; never did sweeter
comradship exist between mother
and children than in Mrs. Moore's
home. In sickness and in health she
received most respectful devotion
from her family.
Mrs. Moore was a careful economist
and managed her business up to tho
last. A woman of r. good judy
ment she leaves the stamp Of her fine
courage upon her children. Her home
was one of genuine hospitality and no
one knew better how to welcome her
friends than she. Five years ago the
hand Of disease marked her and with
that high courage that was so char
acteristic of her, three times she sue.
mitted to the knife in the hope thai
she might be restored to health SC
she could keep a home for her chill.
dren, and the loss to them Of so good
a mother cannot be estimated.
Mrs. Moore was a faithful member
of the Baptist Church and brought u!
her family in the fear Of the Lord
By her death one Of the most delight,
