The transportation problem, it has developed,

the country is confronted.
In the moving of troops munitions, food. fuel,

Same in Webster City.

The following lines from the JEFF
ferson Bee fit Webster City so nicely
that they night have been written
here:
1t is said that there are more vacant
houses in Jefferson than at any time
during the past ten years. This is a
clear indication that the city is not
| growing in population, and even sug-
gests that we are slipping back a
little. There can be not the slightest
doubt but that this is due in large
measure to the fact that we are limp
| ing along with about the poorest
school facilities of any town of our
4 size in Iowa. No matter what other
! attractions Jefferson may have for
people looking for good town in
which tt' live and raise their families,
these attractions are nullitied by the
fact that our school facilities are so
poor. We have now splendid corps
of teachers, but they are handicapped
in their work and it is going to be
hard to hold good teachers under
present conditions. 49,
/ Their, is no more intelligent COM
munity in the State Of Iowa than the
Jefferson community. There is no
community that is entitled to better
educational conditions. AS things are
now we are not only suffering educa-
tionally, but we are suffering COM
mercially. Every business interest
is damaged if we are falling to main
tain our normal growth. The morale
of the city is damaged, because we
are all ashamed when the school sub
iect comes up as people from abroad
visit us. Il is the one diseased spot
in healthy, prosperous and splendid
community.
We have yet to hear one citizen
deny that conditions are bad and that
the community ought to have speedy
relief. Our troubles are all over the
fact that one wants it done one way,
and another some other way Ninety
per cent of the community are much
more concerned in having action OF
some kind than in having just exact
" the particular action that they IKE
best. They are ready to accept ana
aDprovc any sort of action that will
remedy present conditions.

Can Now Vote at Home.

Ellsworth News: Owing to the fact
that the city of Ellsworth is situated
partly in Lincoln township and partly
in Lyon township, it has been neces-
sary for large number Of the people
in the west part of town to go to jewell
when they wished to vote in county
and state elections.
A petition was handed to the coun-
ty board of supervisors some time ago
asking that the people in the incor-
porated town Of Ellsworth that arc
located in Lyon township he allowed
to vote in Lincoln township
Simon Sogard and Jorgen Olson
were in Webster City Tuesday in con-
sultation with the supervisors, and
it was then settled that the right to
vote in Lincoln township be- accorded
the west side people.
From now on all residents of the
town of Ellsworth who are located in
Lyon township will vote at the regular
voting place in Ellsworth, instead of
being compelled to make the three
mile trip to Jewell.

have no idea what is going on in the
outside world. Suppose Iowa papers
are full of comments on, it's troops
being III action and expect there are
many anxious hearts in Creston
worrying about Company c and its
men. And you, when you read Cap
tain McHenry's untimely end will be
so terribly worried, but | sent you
a cable which when it reaches you,
will assure you of my still being up

let the fact that Captain McHenry
was killed so soon cause you to
worry needlessly about me because
his case was very exceptional. He
was killed by heavytimber falling
on him and not by a she'll He was
not in his own dugout either. Had
he beer in it at the time the disaster
would never have occurred.

to your worrying about me; now the
fact of the matter is you have an ex-

are over here. l suppose in way
I am to blame for it. know l have

Quite true it is not a bed OF roses
over here, but at the same time l
manage to keep reasonably comfort
able and above all l am in the best
of health. War Of course is terrible,
but nevertheless the percentage killed
is very small in proportion to the
number engaged, so don't worry. The
weather has been simply grand dur
ing the past few days.
We are at least having touch OF
sunny France weather. l have quite
nice quarters here, good sized room
and fairly comfortable bed, no stove
but then one does not necessarily
need a stove this time Of the year.

To Lead Ellsworth Band.

Ellsworth News: The Ellsworth
band has been laboring alone for the
past few months and comparatively
little Roadway has been made, but now
arrangements have been made for an
instructor and it is hoped that he will
meet with the boys every Thursday
evening.
Geo. Beebe, the popular band in
structor from Iowa Falls, has been
on the sick list the past six or eight
weeks, and that is the reason why
the Ellsworth band as been without
an instructor. He has now written
that he can be with the boys regularly.

Farmers Conserve on Coal.

Wall Lake Correspondence Jewell
Record: Farmers are complying with
the governments suggestions along
the line of coal conservation. More
wood is being used for fuel in the
country these days than ever before.
Dry willows make excellent stove
wood, both for cooking and heating
purposes. Corn cobs too make an eX-
cellent substitute for coal and produce
fully as much heat as either wood or
coal, although it keeps one quite busy
to feed the fire." especially if the
weather is cold.

Scarlet Fever Claims Victim.

Scarlet Fever Claims Victim.
Scarlet fever took its first toll in
Webster City for several years in the
death of Leslie Fred Calkins, who pass.
ed away at the home of his parents
Mr.. and Mrs. Thomas Calkins, 532 Ohio
street late Saturday afternoon.
Donald, the younger boy has been Ill
for the past ten days or longer, with
what was taken to be mild case OF
| scarlet fever and the home has been
| quarantined during that time. Leslie
! a member of the senior class in the
| Webster City high school, became i'll
Monday and it was at once apparent
that his condition was Serious. Scarlet
fever and complications caused his
death.
Born in this city January %, 1899,
he was little past his eighteenth
birthday. Besides his parents, five
brothers and two sisters are left to
mourn their loss. The brothers are
IL VI Liz A"iAouo A>eA--
bow division in France; George, who
is with the 126th Machine Gun Bat
talon at Camp Cody; Byron, Ralph
and Donald of this city. Mrs. Florence
julius and Miss Gladys Calkins are
the sisters, both residing here.
Perhaps no other boy of his age was
better known to town people generally,
due to the fact that he has been en-
ployed during vacations and after
school hours in the Charles I. Smith
& Son clothing store. He was popular
among his fellow students and with his
teachers. AS one OF these said, Leslie
Calkins was all that nice boy ought
to be-" very fine young man in every
respect.
A brief service was read on the lawn
of the home by DR.. r. T. Chipperlield
at 4:3O o'clock, at which a few friends
were permitted to gather. The body
was laid to rest in Graceland ceme-
terry.
