TO HANDLE NOk0L
AUTOMATIC III N ! !. HEATER 4
Central Heating Company
Takes Agency for This
City and Vicinity.

The Central Heating company has
taken the agency to handle the Noko]
Automatic Heater and already has ono
on display in its place of business on
Second street. Several orders for thu
new heater have already leen placed
and the company is going to push its
sale and hopes to have thirty or forty
installed by winter.
The Nokol burns fuel oil and its
manufac1lrer-The STAN Corporation,
q West Adams street, Chicago-claim
it saves in expense as compared with
coal. 1t can be installed in any 'hot air
furnace, hot water or steam heating
plant. IT burns a cheap grade of fuel
oil, is self regulating and maintains an
even temperature throughout the house.
There is no dirt or ashes, hence con-
siderable work and annoyance are saw
ed. The oil now retails at from ten to
twelve cents per gallon and it is claim
ed 100 gallons of it will supply asamuch
heat and distribute it better than a
ton and half Of soft coal or a ton Of
hard coal. Moreover, there is not the
liability Of a fuel oil shortage and its
more general use will relieve the rail-
roads of considerable transportation, as
it is far less bulky than coal consider
ing the amount Of service it will render
per pound.
The company also expects to handle
the oil and will deliver it to consumers
about the city.

IT'S SOME SHOW

There's a big surprise in store fol
a lot Of Webster City people when they
see Katcha-Koo Thursday and Friday
nights at the Orpheum. They are ex'
pccting the usual dull, tiresOme home
talent play, with a question mark
after the talent,) when what they real
" are going to see is II of the livlies,
Of musical shows-in fact, Mack Sen
nett's beauties would have to "gC
some" to beat these home folks for per
and ginger.
The songs are new. In II you'll
hear the argument clinched as to who
was to blame for Mother Eve and
Father Adam, being driven from the
Garden Of Eden: and prudence, Miss
Mildred Hoot, will tell you what she
was taught at school. and believe me-
it will make everybody Wish they had
gone. to that same school; then there's
n catchy song by Dolly, Miss Clarine
Mueller, accompanied by the Polo
dancers, and in the second chorus
but that's Il secret until Thursday
night.
The Maharajah Of Hunga, Leslie
Clifton, has an awful time with his
four wives, and as Mrs. CHattie Cad
din, Mrs. Ella NJ. Jennings, puts it,
..can you imagine a man with four
wives still being able to talk? Chat
: tie herself has no troubles along that
line. and when in the last act She finds
-'nuther secret.
Katcha-koo Troublesome.
The two young Americans, James
Young and Gerald Buxton, have a ter
rible time with Katcha-Koo, Warren b.
Dodge. First they want him to move,
and then. oh what they, would give to
have him a statue once again!
And say, Il lot of people better get
busy. and buy their tickets before it is
too late. l.. A. Lehnhard IA charge
of tile sale, and there are dozens OF
school children selling the tickets.
Seats are to be reserved for both
nights at Teed's drug store. and reser-
yyations may bc secured beginning We'd
nesday morning. Only seats on the
main floor of the Orpheum will be re
served, and those who don't reserve
them will have to scramble for the
balcony seats. Only a limited numbe
of tickets can be sold because OF the
limited seating capacity of the thea
ter, so those who haven't done SO. bet
ter buy them mighty soon.
