DRAWS PLANS4ssFOR AMERICAN
LEGION, !, BUILDING

SAC CITY, Ia, April 17.The Chi
cago architect called into consulta-
ton by the building committee of
Cantigny post No. 1876, American
Legion G. w. Ashby, of the firm of
Ashby, Ashby & Schulze, architects,
recommended the abandonment of the
plans the legion then had under con-
sideration.
"a One of these plans was for the pur-
chase Of ground north of the Lewis
building for the erection of suitable
building for the legion and the other
was for the requirement of the Platt
block and the construction of an ad-
ditional story in which the several
rooms should be located. For vari.
01ss reasons, not necessary to discuss,
the architect advised the rejection of
these plans and the selection of an.
other site.
4 He made preliminary sketch of a
building which he believes adapted
TO the needs of the legion and it
seems to meet the approval of the
building committee and to be within
a reasonable financial limit.

In presenting the wonder play, "The

show the most talked Of picture of the
age. A photoplay production without
flaw. without an unkind criticism
against it and only friends and admir-

Confession" is built around the fervid
faith of mans belief in God and how
that man. priest is sustained in his
belief and regarded for his faith in the
power and mercy of the Almighty.
Father Bartlett, after hearing the
confession of murderer, finds that his
own brother has been accused of the
crime. He can save his brother from
the gallows by revealing the confession
as it was made to him. He has the
opportunity, in open court on the wit
ness stand, to testify that the real muir
ltierer has confessed his crime 20 him.
Father Bartlett's course in this grave

constant tense expectation. It is one

before the Red Cross organization. The
Dicksons last fall brought suit against
80 men for forcible entry of their house.
This suit was dismissed recently BY the
Dicksons. In the meantime, ten won.

suit for slander on account of some In
sulting remarks made by the two men.
This suit sstill pending. Finally came
the filing of information with the gov.

Registration of automobiles in Iowa
this year will total 900 in the opin-
ion of Secretary of State w. c. Ram
say. Up to the present time the total
registrations have been about $50, 900.
Difficulty in getting license plates from
the factory Is causing county treaSur'
ers and the state department consider
able trouble. A shipment was received
by the department Tuesday and a to-
tai of 80, 900 pairs is expected this week.
1t is expected that this shipment will
enable the county treasurers to catch
UP with their registrations. The state
department has just placed an addition
al order for $4,000 plates for this years
use. Inability to get the steel is said
by the plate makers to be the cause of
the delay.
A slander suit of large proportions is
before the courts of Franklin county.
The trouble grows out of some remarks
made by DR.. A. J. Hobson concerning
the conduct of the Lutheran hospital
at Hampton. The board of directors of
the hospital brings suit against Or.
Hobson for $4,000 and DR.. c. f. Os-
borne, the general surgeon at the insti
tuition, brings slut against him for
$75, 900. DR.. Hobson is accused of max
ing untrue statements injurious to the
hospital and its staff. Thirteen differ
