Finished Speaker.

Through some unaccountable over
|sight the committee having in charge
the advertising of the Fourth of July
celebration omitted the name of the
orator of the day, ]. r. Files, from
the bills advertising the events of
the day. Mr.. Files name appears in
the newspaper advertising, but in
preparing the copy for the bills, the
committee failed to mention the ora
tor. This, of course, was uninten-
tional and nobody can regret it more
than does the committee.
Mr.. Files halls from Fort Dodge
and is one of the best speakers in the
Estate. he spoke at the patriotic rally
lat the armory opera house here a
few weeks ago and the universal ver-
dict of those who heard him upon
that occasion was that his was one
of the finest addresses ever delivered
in Webster City. 1t will be worth
while for anybody who appreciates
real public speaking to hear Mr..

Joins Navy Aviation Corps.

Malcolm Mullen of Des Moines, son
of Mrs. N. II. Bawden of this city,
recently enlisted in the navy avia-
tion corps and expects to be called to
some training camp. presumably in

Mullen is named, served throughout

deal of experience with automobiles,

BYRON SIMPSON ON
THE FRONT IN FRANCE
Former Webster City School Boy Is
With the American Aviation
Service in Europe.

Mr.. and Mrs. B. A. Simpson Of
Omaha were in the city yesterday
while on an automobile trip to north
ern Minnesota to spend the summer.
While here they called upon a num-
Der of former friends and acquaint-
lances. Mr.. Simpson was in the cigar
manufacturing business while res
ident of this city and left here about
ten years ago. His son Byron, who
will be remembered by the younger
boys of the community, is now in
France with the American aviation
corps and will soon be in active SER
vice on the front. The Freeman
Tribune appreciates the patriotism of
Webster City boys who enlist in the
service of their country, also of the
parents and other relatives who
make the sacrifice. The buying of a
few hundred dollars worth of liberty
bonds or the subscribing of liberal
amounts to the Red Cross is small
servite compared to what the boys
do when they offer themselves.

AMONG THE WEBSTER
CITY SOLDIER BOYS
Tents Still Going Up on the East
Side-Second Regiment
Band Is Heard.

Seventeen comforters were donated
to the soldier boys of Company G
last evening. They certainly were a
great help, but there were not nearly
enough to so around. Most every
housewife in the city could spare one
comforter from her stores of bed
clothing, and if all who can will tele-
phone 262, soldier boy will call
for it after o'clock tonight. 1t was
close to frost last night and the SOL
diers who were lacking blankets felt
the chill night air in no uncertain
manner.
Tents are still going up at the
camp on the old fair grounds today.
BY tonight every tent will be sup
piled with electricity, the city en-
|ployes having completed their work
of installing the lighting system
Throughout camp. In other ways the
boys are nicely settled and will be
quite comfortable when enough COW
ering can be secured to keep them
warm at night.
Ice cream, furnished by the past
matrons and Eastern Star member
ship of the city, will be served for
dessert at the soldiers noon meal to-
morrow. Again on Sunday the boys
will be treated to ice cream by the
Olympia Candy Kitchen, who will
contribute five gallons of the frozen
dainty. This time it will be served
with pie la mode.
Yesterday for the first time the
Second Regiment band was heard on
the streets. They are practicing
again today and will certainly be
popular feature of tomOrrow's parade.
After the Fourth, street concerts by
this splendid organization will be
frequent occurrences. Many more
new bandmen arrived today, and it
is possible that as many as thirty of
the forty membership will be on
hand for the big celebration tomor-
row.
