Foot Ball Outlook.

Webster City will play football at
Ames on Sept. q, according to pub
lished schedule of Ames high school
games. The date is the first on the
Ames schedule.
The return of Prof. +. r. Sifert this
year as high school principal portends
something big in athletics. During
his previous service here he was I'm
usually successful in bringing out the
best material the school had to offer
and training it thoroughly in every
branch of athletic activity.
Doubtless the first few weeks of
school will result in the determination
of this seasons football squad, and Il
football schedule which will provide
one Of the many interests likely to de-
velOp during what promises to be a
very interesting school year.

Now its "Sunmer Flu"

What has been termed summer flu
has struck this city and apparently is
very prevalent. Colds and socalled hay
fever are also complained of.
Many cases ere reported, which seem
enthusiastically the same rs those of
the influenza epidemic of last winter.
Just as colds and similar ailments
spread so does the new illness and
many seem to be afflicted.
Symptoms, as given, are that the
patient finds himself feeling very much
as if he had spring fever This grows
stronger as the disease expands
through the system and usually sends
the patient to bed. Treatment should
follow the lines of that given during
last winters epidemic.

AUTO HITS A TREE

An accident that might have resulted
fatally to the four children of Mr. and
Mrs. II. w. Carrier who reside south
west of this city, was very narrowly
averted this morning when the car
which they We're driving, ran into a
tree at the corner of Walnut and Pros
pect streets. The contact damaged the
car considerably but the occupants es-
capped with but few scratches and a
severe jOlting.
The children were on their way to
school and were driving at a pretty
good rate of speed when the accident
occurred. The youngest boys head went
through the wind shield and it seems
4 miracle that lie escaped with but a
few cuts. They were all able to go to
school this morning and are apparently
not much the verse for their narrow
escape. "
