Young Peoples Association
Is Forming a Good Base
4 Ball Team for
I City.
OTHER TOWNS ACTIVE
t has Been Three Years
Since the City had
m Nine.

Is Webster City going to have base
ball team this summer?
This question has been asked a good
many times of late and the Young Peo-
pels association proposes to answer it
iA the affirmative.
In fact this organization, composed
Of young people from several Of the
churches of the city and a number of
returned soldiers, has had good bunch
of base ball men out for practice at
Riverside park for some slime. They
propose to put good base ball team
in the field here this summer.
Other Towns Active.
Other towns in this vicinity are also
going to support base ball teams this
summer. Eagle Grove and Ellsworth
will each have team. Both the towns
named and also Webster City will have
elevens composed entirely of homesmen
lin other words, their teams will not
be made up of salaried men.
Good Time to Start.
1T has been three years since Web
ster City had ball team and the fans
here are certainly ready to support a
team. And just now a team composed
wholly of local men ought to do better
!, than a professional eleven. The Young
Peoples Athletic association is doing a
fine thing in sponsoring team heie
and it. ought to be well supported.
Prof. Wesley L. Schaub and DR.. Slo-
cum are in charge of the men who are
working out for the eleven. There is
mkch promise of good team being
developed.
Webster City was good base ball
town before the war and Riverside
park is one of the best and prettiest
ball parks In the state. It will be gen
orally hoped that the project in hand
will result In the formation Of a good
team and that Webster City this SUM
mer will see a g0odly number Of bull
games with the elevens from the sur

tailed instructions from the Office of
Louis Murphy, of Dubuque, collector Of
internal revenue in Iowa The cost of

the act.
A vast amount of clericals work will
be imposed, it is stated, if the govern
ment insists on keeping Of adequate re-
cords for reference. Daily records
must be kept giving separately the
amounts received for each class Of tax
able transactions and the tax paid
thereon. Fvther, the collector in his
discretion, may compel the merchant to
make daily deposits at designated
bank of the taxes received.
