 Just to show a certain baseball magnate of Little Rock that he was not the whole thing in the way of Chas. Miller arranged to build in a walled athletic field at the camp for the big foot ball game Saturday after noon. And though the order was not given until Thursday afternoon it was carried out with precision. A park was arranged with a seating capacity of 1000 and the game held on sched ule time. Of course the fence was not of lumber but the grand stand was and that was the part that really counted. It took three hundred men working day and night to get the park ready. The fence was wall of canvass, seven feet high, which ran all around the area. It was about $40 yards of canvass all told, but there was plenty of it in the Warehouses, and that was the small est problem The Little Rock man had, so the manager of the Camp Pike officers team said. agreed to rent the park for $10O per game. When he saw that the Saturday game would attract a great crowd he want ed a guarantee of $500, or one third of the gate receipts. The game was between the Camp Pikers and the Funston team and as usual the Camp Pike officers won by good margin.

The best bunch of beef cattle
perhaps ever seen in the town was
brought out from the Boles coun-
try the first of this week and
shipped out Tuesday by the Farm
ers Union w. Co.
The cattle-105 head-were
brought in by Messrs. Jones, Plat,
Chamberlin and Nash, and con-
sisted of Hereford cows and steers
which averaged 1886 pounds.
While the usual price of good
beef cattle has been around 10c,
Johnny Baer, buyer for the Farm
ers Union, paid 12c a pound for
this bunch.
Next month about $50 head
more-nearly as good as these
will be brought out for ship
ment by these cattlemen.

Disastrous Defeat

news is received by wire that in
the big battle now raging in
France the Germans are suffering
the most crushing defeat of the
war. On a 50-mile front the
Americans have crushed the enc

causing a complete rout of the

Those not killed, wounded or cap

running like dogs toward their

LOSS OF BLOOD MONEY.

The booze dealers>say the immediate
loss to the government will be $780,
OOO, 900 of revenue if prohibition be de-
creed. Who will gain it?-Sioux City
Tribune.
The booze dealers are right about it.
The national treasury will lose approx
imately $500. 100000 when the revenue
is cut off from spirituous and malt
liquors. However, the people will save
at least $1,000, 0O6, 900 in their annual
drink bill and the losses due to exces-
sive use of liquor This $4,00O,O0O, 600
will pay the interest on the public debt
and liquidate it in time, even if the
debt reaches $75,OOO,OO0,OO0. A great
financial coup is the result of prohibit

eating beverages. This $f,000,OOO,0OO.

concomitants, will henceforth be used

breweries, distilleries and saloons.
When the question of prohibition was
up for settlement in Iowa in 1SS2-S4,
whiskey supporters told of the many
hardships that would be forced upon
taxpayers in the cities and towns. Here
in Webster City it was claimed that
taxation would be greatly increased
and that there would never be enough
money in the public treasury to build
such public improvements as were built
i'm towns of this class. Well, the saloon
went out of Webster City in 1884 and ii
has never returned and never will.
True, few daring whiskey and beer
vendors for a time viola ted the law and
it was with difficulty that it was enfOrc-
ed. Officers were backward and the
courts were lenient. However, the

Our allies are not expecting peace
in the near future and they know more
about the situation than we do. They
realize that much hard fighting is be-
fore them and they are making every
effort consistent with that view. The
American people are sometimes too
optimistic. Peace may come soon. OF
course, but the chances are the war
will last well into next summer. The
German army is many miles from the
German frontier in northern France
and it is going to be a tedious job to
drive it back. This country must not
relax efforts until the final goal is
reached. No matter what the indica-
lions may be the fight must continue
as though it promised to be nothing
better than u draw.

THE MELTING POT.

The Czecho-Slovaks constitute one
Of the greatest races of the world.
They have been in bondage for nearly
four hundred years, but their spirit is
still unbrOkcn and they are ready, aye
eager, to fight to the death for freedom
These people, none of whom ever saw
a moments freedom, appreciate its
blessings 1t has been said by foreign
ers coming to the United States that
our people didn't know the blessings
they had; that they didn't appreciate
the liberties vouchsafed them; That
they could not know and understand
these things as those who had been
under the heel of tyranny understood
them. This view is no doubt well
founded. However, the people OF this
country in the past few years have
been awakened. They are beginning
to see and appreciate their privileges
and advantages Aside from the sacri-
flee of blood this war has and will en-
tail upon the American people its bene-
fits far exceed it's cost. Our people
are united as never before and hence
forth the melting pot is going to melt.
That portion that cannot be melted
is going to be kept from the country.
This much seems evident. This is go
ing to be the home of Americans only.
Not in narrow sense. but in broad
way. Every naturalized citizen who
accepts our institutions and conforms
to our ways will be il genuine Ameri-
can. No others will be welcome. Here
after people are not going to be allow
ed to live in this country year after
year, enjoy its benefits and advantages
without becoming a citizen OF the
United States. This war has brought
home to the people many facts OF our
lax methods that nobody realized be-
fore These lax methods must go and
in their place methods adopted calcu-
lated to pcrpetuate government OF,
by and for the people. WhOmsOeyer
is not willing to subscribe to such a
creed should not be permitted to re-
main here permanently.
