WEBER Band
IS A LEADER
Weber Band, Here at Chau-
tauqua, is Listed Among
Best in the
Country.
GET HIGH PRAISE
Also Carry Soprano, Highly
Spoken Of by
CarusO.

John C. Weber, the American band
master. who is being brought here to
the c%hautauqua this summer with his
prize band of America, is another great
leader like Thaviu and Kryl whom the
Redpath-Vawter people brought to
their circuit in years past.
For seventeen years Mr.. Weber has
been looked upon by the eastern cities
as one of the leading bandmasters in
America. National band contests were
held at st. Louis and at Baltimore,
and in all cases Weber's artists car
ried off first prize. Last summer their
clautauqua time was taken by the
big Methodist centenary celebration

might not only be able to control the
domestic situation, but would also con
troll the dye business of Japan and
China. 1t is to be hoped that while the
speech-making is going on in Washing
ton that this great enterprise of the
duPontS will succeed in putting over
their dye making plans in Delaware
monopoly and all-or a least monopoly
enough S 70 that we may be forever free
from receiving dyes from Germany.
Unfortunately there have been sew
eral hold-ups in the program Of free
ing ourselves from the needs Of Ger
mar potash; and when congress gets
through fighting the war and declares
peace, the Germans will doubtless i'm
mediately start sending us shiploads
of potash. This situation could be
avoided if the nitrate plants and Other
industries that sprung up during the
war, were developed to their fullest
purpose in order that they might fur
nish the proper restOratives for the
soil.
Government by Speech Making.
One of the closest students OF ma
tional life is Samuel G. Blythe, the
magazine writer. Mr.. Blythe has
made a discovery, and it is a wonder
someone hasn't mentioned it before
He says that Washington is governed
by the spoken worldly speech making
rather than deeds. Success, he be.
lieyes, has been measured by OratOry
and the manner Of remedy evils has
been to dictate a speech on the issue
to deliver it, and after giving it the
widest publicity to let it go at that.
There. are thousands of politicians II
the country whose achievements c0uld
he scheduled under the above headine
Of assets
The country itself is about due tt
make its appraisement OF its pubic
servants, for this is election year. AnC
the probabilities are that the spoken
word" and experimenting" will be
come the guage for measuring the
qualifications Of those who will do the
governing of the country. Just like
MI. Blythe has said!
WhatIl be the Issue?
A year ago the issue in American
politics was: The League OF Nations
A little later it was: Booze. or nc
booze?
Now: The soldiers bonus.
Thus Characterization wobbles!
News From the Front"
Several thousand war workers
who completed their usefulness II
Washington many months ago, and
have failed to resign, will be dis
charged between now and July l.

Shin Two Car Loads Eggs.

Stratford Courier: During the early
part Of the week local merchants ship
ped two carloads Of eggs to eastern
packers. Shipping in "a load lots en-
ables merchants TO get a lower freight
rate than if they shipped them in
small cOnsignments. And people who
are selling eggs here should appreciate
this fact for local merchants al pay
more for eggs shipped in this way and
thus the producer makes the extra
profit. Eggs at 40 cents this easOn of
the year are money makers for the
producer and the producer should le-
member in turn to spend the money
received from the sale of them with the
merchants who are paying the high
est market prices. The egg market in
StratfOrd is still several cents higher
than anywhere else in central Iowa if
not in the state.

lettings About the

Can't Keep Boys In School.

Jewell Record Jewell is not the only
town that is unable to keep the boys
in schOOl-for some reason or other.
Stratford also graduates a class this
spring composed exclusively of girls,
nine of EN-. Queer, isn't it, that two
towns as good as Jewell and StratfOrd
are unable to make high school suf-
~liciently attractive to have even one
lonely boy in their graduating classes?

The Poor Fish.

Jewell Record: If you want to see
two real fish out of water, glue your
optics on Frank Snyder and Herby
Hood. Those two fellows have never
been idle all their lives-always have
been busy every minute clear up to
their eyes in work. and now-they
haven't a thing to do. We actually
saw both of them three times in one
afternoon this week, just standing
around on the street. But finally they
have both succeeded in getting a job.
Monday night they left for Detroit, the
home Of Ford and Of FOrds, members
of a party of fifteen mel that the
Kaiser-Snyder Ford company of Web
ster City sent to Detroit this week to
drive back fifteen Ford cars for the
Webtser City garage. We bet Frank
and Herby sure We're tickled to get a
job at last.-Later: Piffle! Frank and
Herby didn't get a job after all. Frank
left as planned Monday night and Herby
waited to go with the rest of the
crowd Tuesday night. And then it
rained! Frank got as far as Chicago
and wired the rest Of the fifteen to stay
at home. and he came back Wednesday
noon. Perhaps they'll get their job
next week or the week after.
To Buy Electroliers.

raised among the citizens and business
men of Stratford this week for the pur-
chasing of seven or more electrOliers

financing this proposition for it is as
much to the interest Of every citizen to
have the main street well lighted Is it
is to the business men. The lighting
cables were laid acrOss the street un-
