MAN MAKING GOOD.
Was for Many Years Engaged in
Retail Business In
This City.

G. II. Wilde, who for many years
was engaged in the poultry and
cream business, but handled many
other lines, including Maytag wash
ing machines, is meeting with splen-
did success as a special salesman
for the Maytag Company, with ter
ritory in southeastern Iowa. Mr..
Wilde sold his business here last
December and moved his family to
Des Moines.
For a time he was on the road for
the Empire Cream Separator people
but soon thereafter went with the
Maytag company, for whom he had
been the representative in this coun-
ty.
In a personal letter from the
salesmanager of the Maytag COM
pany, under date of October goth,
he writes Mr.. Wilde as follows:
Your letter of the 18th is surely
pleasant reading. had a feeling
when you came with us that II
would not be long before the deal
ers in your territory had a genu-
inc respect for our Multi-Motor.
"The fact that you sold the Multi
Motor yourself and you have the
ability to properly instruct your
dealers and arouse their enthusiasm
by showing them the possibilities
for the Multi-Motor washer, is re-
sponsible for the change which is
taking place in your block.
II will be glad to hear from you
from time to time and do not hest
tate to call upon me If there is any
thing l can do to help in the work
you are doing"
The company also issues a weekly
bulletin which is mailed to all of
their representatives. Here is what
last weeks bulletin had to say of
deal Mr.. Wilde pulled off with
great success:
1.-THE Maytag dealer at Muscatine,
Iowa, had % machines coming on a
contract expiration. We shipped
them. He yelped. He had IL diff
ferent makes of washers on the
floor, and sold about six year. c.
H. Wilde sold him on ten-day sale.
They moved II machines and secur-
ed 20 live prospects. 1t was Wilde's
first experience with the sale, but
he says: It's the only real way to
sell machines and put life into a
dealer"

CROOKS WAYLAY PREACHER.

Rev. X. T.. Cleveland, pastor Oh
Dodge Memorial Congregational
church, of Council Bluffs, who had
a narrow escape from being burned
to death by thugs, has sufficiently
recovered to give the police de-
scription of his alleged assailants.
Rev. Cleveland was lured from his
home by a woman who telephoned
him that she had a house to rent.
While driving past a corn field, four
men in a truck blocked the road.
They beat him about the head, tied
him with ropes and set fire to his
machine. He escaped by rolling
out of the car and crawled several
yards to where some boys were
playing. The boys notified neigh
bors and the minister was taken to
the hospital.
Police believe the pastors assail-
ants were Council Bluffs crooks
whom Rev. Cleveland several days
ago reported to the police for alleg-
ed criminal acts.

COON RAPIDS MAN LOSES.
Court Finds That He Must Pay Big
Sum for Making Love.

1t cost w. H. Prettyman, of Coon
Rapids, S14,805 to trifle with the
affections of Wilda Wilson, OF the
same town. At least that was the
sum a jury in the Carroll county
court said he must pay. He is go
ing to appeal the case, but In the
meantime the judgment stands.
Miss Wilson charged Prettyman
with breach of promise, and under
his promise a more serious offense,
enticement into primrose path
with him. She sued him for $25, 200
SO that the jury gave her more than
SO per cent.
Miss Wilson is said to be in her
thirties and Prettyman has grown
children. He admitted that they
had been friendly and sprung on the
court settlement between himself
and the woman-at least 1t was
signed by her, under which she
waived all damages for the payment
OF S195. But she told the Jurymen
she didn't know at the moment she
signed the document that Pretty
man had it in mind to marry an
other. Had she suspected such a
thing she would never have signed
it. Prettyman said the woman had
agreed to the dissolution OF the en-
gagement because his married chill
dren objected to their alliance. Miss
Wilson has had matrimonial exper-
fence. She was the wife OF Gerard
Classens, whom she married in 1907
and they were divorced in Okla
homa in 1915.
The Prettyman's and Wilson's
live at Coon Rapids. Most of Coon
Rapids went to Carroll to hear the
trial 1t was not uninteresting. For
instance, Prettyman's love letters
written to Miss Wilson were read
to the jury. Courtroom attendants
agreed that he might offer fifty odd
years of age and the father Of mar
ried children, but he hadn't forgot
ten the pathway into a lady's heart.

NO FLU EPIDEMIC THIS YEAR.

After three increasingly severe
epidemics of influenza during the
past three winters it seems highly
improbable to DR.. Donald M. Girls
void, state epidemiologist at the
University of Iowa, that there will
be any unusual presence Of the flu
during the approaching cold sea-
son.
According to DR.. Griswold medi-
cal history records five epidemics or
the flu during the past hundred
years. Each of these has come in
three waves of growing severity,
but the third wave, though result
ing in the highest mortality rate,
has been the last. Influenza was
introduced into America with a
mild attack in the spring Of 1918;
this was followed by more severe
epidemic during the early winter
following, and in the late winter of
1919-1920 the epidemic resulted in
an alarming number of deaths. Now
the danger is past.
Those who have had influenza
and who have recovered need not
fear any alarming tendency to fur
Their sickness, says DR.. Griswold.
While the disease left its mark in
every human SYSTEM, he explains
the very fact that one survived in
dictates a certain ruggedness OF
health and physique. Doctor Girls
void predicts that there will be no
marked tendency to pneumonia or
any other disease on the part OF
those 80 per cent Of the people who
had the flu.

Two INDIANA GAMES
SCHEDULED THURSDAY
(Ry Associated press)

INDIANAPOLIS, Nov. 25.-Two hec-
tic months of football having been in
dulged in the collegians Of Indiana are
now ready for the final games of the
season in which Hoosier teams will
play Thursday. Only two Indiana col
leges have followed the old custom Of
scheduling Thanksgiving day games,
the others having closed their sched-
ules with games last Saturday
The games to be played Thursday
are the following:
Wabash and Marquette at Indian
apolis.
Notre Dame and Michigan Aggies at
East Lansing.
Notre Dame followers will await the
with considerable interest, inasmuch
this seasons contests and also a rec
ord of eighteen consecutive wins.
The Notre Dame eleven has every
reason to be confident of winning the
final game but Coach Knute Rockne,
realizing the upsets that frequently
happen in the gridiron game, has been
working his team mp until the last min
ute in preparation for the closing
contest.
Wabash followers were dsappoint-
ed at the 8 to 0 defeat of their team
by DePauw Saturday, but were we'll
satisfied with the game fight of the
Scarlet players. Fumbling and some
poor head work married the playing of
the Wabash eleven but many of the
players were handicapped by inexperi-
cnce on the gridiron.
Little is known here of the strength
of the Marquette eleven but fans who
remember the close contest of last
season which Marquette finally won
Is to are expecting a good exhibition
at Washington Park here Thursday.
Last Saturdays contests cleared
away all doubt as to the state cham
pionship. Notre Dame has clear
claim to the state title by virtue of it's
victories over both Purdue and Indi-
ana. Indiana holds second honors by
winning from Purdue although the
Boiler Makers made the Crimson work
hard for victory.
Butler holds the championship of the
I. c. A. L., while DePauw looms up as
the leader of the secondary schools
outside the league.

standard no very Ugh scores being
turned in by any cf the teams. The
Remingtons increased their lead by

EIGHT TEAMS FORM
BASKETBALL LEAGUE

Eight teams will be in the Suburban
Basketball league that is being formed
among the towns in this community.
At noon Thursday seven teams had
signed up for the entire season and
two or three others had asked for an
extension of time for their clubs to
decide on the action to be taken.
The entrance of teams in the league
now will depend upon a two-thirds
vote of the charter members OF the
league. The applications received in
clude Lynn, Fountain City, Boston, C.
M. A. C. of Cambridge City, Camp
bellstown, Panhandles and Knights OF
Columbus of Richmond. Other towns
said they would have representatives
at next Sundays meeting to make
their applications. e---sa- a-..
Next Sunday afternoon at 2 p. m,
managers of all the teams will hold
meeting in the Brehm store to draft
chedule and play will begin the first
week in December. The schedule will
be drafted SO that two rounds will be
played each team meeting every other
team once at home and once abroad.
This will neutralize expenses and as
sure a selection of a real champion OF
the league. ~1
Playing Floors Scarce.
Richmond teams are experiencing
some difficulty in arranging for a
playing floor in this city. The ex-
penses attached to the renting of the
coliseum make this almost prohibitive
for independent clubs. Most of the
games will probably be staged in the
Y. M. C. A.
Forfeits of SIS will be posted by
each team at Sundays meeting. Each
team is asked to have list of their
reserve players ready to submit at the
meeting. Home teams are to furnish
referees and these men who are to Of
ficiate should be handed to the presi-
dent of the league who will investi-
gate them and assign them to the diff
ferent games.

Harvard and Illinois has moved
George Huff. director OF athletics of
the University of Illinois to promise
efforts in the direction of scheduling

Interest in the proposal has been

Harvard offered the Illinois team a
date for game to be played at Har-

repay the compliment by accepting a
return engagement at Urbana Har.
ward did not express a willingness to
do this and the proposal was dropped

DISEASES KILL GRAIN.

WASHINGTON. Nov 25-Millions
of bushels of grain, fruit and vege
tables and a big tonnage of cotton
were lost to American farmers last
year by plant diseases, according to
figures compiled by the plant disease
survey of the department of agricul-
