surances old Second Iowa
Band can Come
PLAN BIG BAND DAY HERE.
Date Will be Fixed Later When
Arrangements are Also Made
for SOusa Band.

Governor w. l.. Harding and Adult
ant General Guy A. Logan have given
assurance that Webster City may
have the old Second Iowa regiment
band, now assigned to duty at Camp
Dodge, one day during the third
Liberty Loan campaign.
Varick C. Crosley was in Des
Moines Friday and, in behalf OF
the Webster City Chamber Of Com
merce, asked the governor and ad-
justant general whether it would be
possible to have this we'll known
band spend day in Hamilton coun-
ty while the Liberty Loan drive is on
He was given practical assurance
that, if the expenses of the men are
met, the band will be assigned to
Webster City for one day.
No Date Fixed.
No date has yet been fixed for the
appearance of this band here. it will
be fixed by the Chamber OF COM
merce and the committee in charge
of the Liberty Loan campaign. 1t is
the plan to arrange big day when
all the county will be invited to come
to Webster City and hear Bandmaster
Eppel and his men. Sousa's Great
Lakes Naval band will likely be here
day, also, during this drive and no
attempt will be made to fix date
for the old Second Iowa band until it
is known for certain whether Sousa
will be here and the date OF his ap-
pearance. Otherwise there might be
conflict in the dates and it is the in
tention of the committee not to have
these two bands here too close to-
gether.

CALL FOR LIBERTY BOND
BEFORE SALE is OPEN.

A woman walked into the First
: National bank here the other day
and asked fer a $1,000 bond of the
third Liberty Loan. The request,
of course, had to be refused, for
the sale of third loan bonds does
not open until April 6. The wo-
" man, however, wanted to invest
her money right away and it
was with some difficulty that the
; men at the bank talked her into
; waiting two weeks longer. Indi-
cations are that there will be big
call for the new bonds and those
in charge of the campaign here
+ are enthusiastic over the out
look.

Beatrice Fairfax Writes Problems Pitfalls of the War Workers
Especially for Washington Women

A BOUT a week ago there
u passed away here in
L \ Washington an old Eng
lish lady named Anna York who
was among that first group of
women appointed to the United
States Treasury, about sixty years
ago. There was perhaps a dozen
Of them, and the innovation was
greeted with the widest merri-
ment.
The reactionaries prophesied the
immediate collapse of the coun-
try's fiscal system, a burlesque en-
titled "The Treasury Girls" was
put on at local theater, and mis-,
statement waxed, as it used to
about suffrage.
What would those poor old ultra
conservatives say today if they
could see the wartime activities of
women-flling the Government Of
fees, tilling the soil, working in
munitions plants, handling traffic
on street railroads? Considering
these things, it is almost incredible
that only two years have elapsed
since Justice Shearn handed down
his momentous decision regarding
the rights of women to their chill
dren.
He said that "The right of
mothers to the custody of their
children is at least equal to that Of
a father"
The occasion OF this decision
was a suit by a clergyman who
sought to take the last remaining
child from his wife, on the grounds
Of: His paramount right as a
father"
The reverend gentleman had
based his claim on a decision OF
Blackstone's rendered in 1912 that:
Inc very being ana legal eXls-
tence OF a woman is suspended
during marriage, is consolidated in
that of her husband"
The World Has Moved Since 1912.
In handing down his decision.
two years ago, Justice Shearn said
that the world had moved since
1912. And moved it had-but dur
ing the past year. or since we
have declared war, it has torn
along with breathless speed. leav-
ing outworn prejudices to flutter
in space like dead leaves.
Justice Shearn, in disposing Of
the paramount right" claim, said
that: THE only basis for the
fathers alleged superior right is
