Will Foran injured his eye the first
of the week and consulted with out of
town specialists who advised him to
60 to Chicago for treatment, before it
got bad. Mr.. Foran lost one eye quite
a while ago and so this accident is
doubly grave to him and every che is
hoping that he may be able to save
the vision Of this eye. He left Friday
for Chicago where he will be under the
care of specialists until all danger is
past. He broke his glasses and got
glass into his eye.

house Thursday evening in honor Of
Libby Haijsman, who with her family
is moving to Clear Lake. The high
school teachers and pupils were all
there and made quite a large and merry
group. Games and refreshments were
the order of the evening and Libby was
given over So with which to buy her
self gift. Libby has been captain Of
the basket ball team and is very popu-
lar among the school children. She
went with the team to Webster City
Friday and then went on to Clear Lake.
Quite a little bit Of interest centers
in the school board election today.
Some good, substantial, intelligent wo-
man should be on the board Ind we are
pleased to learn there is more than
one petition out for the two vacancies.
One petition contains the names OF
Will FOran tat present a member) and
Ross Olsen. The other contains the
names Of Mesdames Nettie Tedrow and
r. e. Wilson and Ray 7. Johnson. All
of the candidates are well known to
the voters and we are hoping that one
Of the capable women mentioned will
get place on the board. School
boards should have some women upon
them, for as rule women are more
interested in and have more time to
give to strictly educational problems.
