An Unpleasant Reminder

Stanhope Enterprise: Webster
City papers want baseball team
there this season. If they will re-
member the experience of last season
they will perhaps think twice be-
fore repeating the performance. In
the Tri-County League last season
the Webster City team forfeited
nearly every game scheduled, while
the much Wanted independent team
also bucklS up against the wrong
side of the financial problem. Look
before you leap.

These are probably to be accepted first and und
