AutOes Meet Head On.

Williams Enterprise: Two automo
biles tried to pass each other on the
same track last Thursday night and as
Il result considerable damage was sus-
tanned, though fortunately no one was
badly hurt. w. Carstens was driving
his Ford and met Willy-Knight going
west on the road west of the John Cal
lahan farm. Mr.. CarstenS had his wife
and family with him and was driving
at moderate speed on his own side OF
the road. The other car was occupied
by three young fellows whose names
we could not learn, but the car belong
ed to the Radcliffe Motor Co.. so il will
not be difficult to locate them. We are
informed that they were driving at a
high speed, and evidently failed to keep
to the right sufficiently to pass Both
cars were badly damaged.

Buy sugar only as you must have ii
for immediate use. That is the advice.
nay instruction, of several Webster
City grocers today.
There is at this time a serious short
age of sugar. Wholesalers are distri-
buting sugar to retailers in small guam
titles. And the retail merchant must.
of necessity, limit the quantity sold to
customers.
One grocer said he had put no def
mite limit on the sale of sugar in his
store. but told his customers the
situation. IF you have fruit on hand
that will spoil if not put up. I'll let you
have the sugar, otherwise l can only let
you have enough to tide you over for
the present." he tells them. While
at another store there has been put
u definite limit of twenty-five pounds
on each customer. This limit will be
cut further if the sugar scarcity con-
tinues, the merchant said.
With the shortage, it may be noted,
the price has not gone up. One drop on

Obituary..

Eunice Walker was born near Olney,
Illinois, February Z, 1860. She lived
and grew to womanhood in the same
vicinity. Her childhood and youth
passed without remarkable incident.
May II, 1852, she was married to Cyrus
reared. In 1887 Mr.. and Mrs Pilchard
moved to Mansfield, Illinois, where
they continued to reside for % years.
In 1903 they took up their residence in
Webster City, where they had since
made their home. Their family con-
sists of three sons Philip Harvey, of
Sioux City; Erwin Lloyd, of Webster
City: Charles Walter, of Portland.
| Oregon.
Mrs. Pilchard had not enjoyed good
health for many years. She Outllved
the expectation of those who were ac-
ouainted with her condition. About n
year and half ago she had a stroke OF
paralysis which complicated her c0ndi-
ton still more and left her partially
helpless. Her family spared no pains
to minister to her comfort but she
grew increasingly helpless to the end.
With assistance she was able to sit IN
her chair till within three days OF her
death. She passed away Tuesday
afternoon August 49,, 1919. aged 80
wears. She is survived by her hus-
band and three sons. also four sisters
and two brothers. The funeral ser
vices were held ut the residence at the
south end of Wilson avenue in charge
of the pastor of the Methodist church.
of which she had been member for
many years. Jnterment took place ut
Graccland cemetery. Webster City.
Owing to her condition of health.
Mrs. Pilchard was not able to mingle
as freely as she would have liked with
ac0uaintances. But those who were
privileged to know her more intimately
bear witness TO the grace OF her char
acter. She was a true wife and de-
voted mother.

won ali three days. the teams and
scores being as follows:
Webster City 3. Rowan 0.
Webster City &. Alden >.
Webster City II. Sherman 1.
The game yesterday, of course, was
not very interesting one. A hard
fight had been expected, however, AMI
big crowd was ont to witness it. The
Sherman team was made up OF all the
best players Ola the Alden and Rowan
teams beside the best players they
have on their own niue. The crowd
was hostile to the Nationals, who had
an uphill fight all through the >tourna
ment. For the final day, Jurasian OF
Fort Dodge pitched for Webster City
and Snyder Of Jewell caught. 1t was
necessary to get an outside battery be-
cause Webster City hasn't enough pit
Cheers for three straight days of play
ling Outside the battery, however, the
National lineup was the same as al
ways.
The purse offered at the Alden tour
nament totaled but S375. of which $165
went to Webster City as winner in
straight heats" 1t was hard three
days grind and the boys will appreci-
ate rest of two days before their
game Sunday with Mason City.
The Alden tournament has given the
Nationals high standing among the
independent teams of north central
Iowa.
