her clear and sweet rendition of THAT'S

A delightful number, Jerry ny the
orchestra closed the program which all
felt to be one of the finest contests
ever given in Webster CITY.
Where Credit is Due.
Miss Lola Hughes hld complete
charge of the long hard months Of drill
which made the success of the enter
tainment possible. Miss Hughes de-
serves much credit for the spirit and
enthusiasm which she developed. and
for the very crcditahle showing each
contestant made.
Miss Rosalinl Cook had special
feature in the program, much enjoyed
by all present-the first appearance in
public of the new orchestra comprising
some twenty pieces. Webster City has
watched with interest the development
of high school orchestra and it is
Il matter of qualification to note this
fine large company OF young people,
many of whom are but ninth grade pll
pills, making such an excellent showing
upon their first appearance. The pub
lie may look forward to real musical
treats from the orchestra and the glee
clubs in the future.

The American Infamy' was the top
ic OF a strong appeal to the law abiding
citizens to punish ali iynchers. Clyde
Swender gave this lumber very nicely,
and made fine impression on his
hearers. The fact that Clyde has just

work under the handicap of shorter
period Of training than the other con-
testants had. hence his work was cs-
pecially worthy, considering the spirit
it takes to compete under such c0ndi-
