When pipes begin to
leak and the bathroom
floor is flooded, look out
for a fall in the ceiling
below. All small leaks
become Niagaras if neg
lected, and it costs , lots
of money to . repair " a
ceiling. The surest way
to avoid a Plumber's
bill is either to put in
the best plumbing at the
start, or to watch out
for possible leaks and
rusty joints, WE are
expert I , Plumbers, use
only the best materials
the best workmanship,
and guarantee all work
done. THINK AHEAD!
If you have plumbing
that you want done in
the cheapest manner do
not come to ; us. . We

work; but: if you have
Plumbing that you want
done in a first-class man

THE EAGLE WILL SCREAM
Dallas Will Invite All Polk County
to Join in Monster Celebration.
Preliminary arrangements for a
rousing Fourth of July celebration
weie made at an enthusiastic meeting
of business men, held In the City
Library rooms last night. The meet
ing was well attended, and all present
epoke in favor of celebrating the
National holiday on a scale hitherto
unattempted in Polk county. Mayor
Muir was chosen to preside over the
meeting and Police Judge L. D.
Brown was elected secretary. Per
manent organization was effected by
the election of he following officers:
President Mayor A. B. Muir.
Secretary Judge L, D. Brown.
Treasurer N. L. Guy.
Executive committee-C. L. Crider,
J. H. Hollister, J. C. Hayter.
The executive committee was given
general supervision of the arrange
ments for the celebration and was
authorized to appoint all the assistant
committees necessary. These com
mittees will comprise committees on
finance, speaker, parade, decorations,
music, sports and games, plug-uglies,
advertising, program, fireworks, and
possibly others. As committees have
already been appointed by the pioneers
for their annual reunion on July 3, it
will be the aim of the celebration
committees to assist In every way
possible in making the big two days'
celebration successful.
The sentiment appears to be unani
mous that Dallas should celebrate
this year In a manner befitting her
importance as a live and growing
city. The merchants are all enjoying
a prosperous business, and it is safe
to judge from the expressions of good
will already heard, that more money
will be donated this year than ever
before. The people of Polk county
are expecting Dallas to hold a cele
bration this year, and are looking
forward to a fine day's entertainment.
The people of Dallas fully realize this
fact, and will see that they are not
disappointed. With the Pioneer Re
union on the 3d and the celebration
on the 4th, the county seat town will
give her neighbors the best two days'
program they have ever enjoyed.
The officers and members of the
executive committee will meet Thurs
day evening at 8 o'clock to appoint
the necessary sub-committees, and it
is expected that active work will be
under way by the first of the coming
week.

Rev. D. Julian Becker, pastor of the

His system of instruction includes the
Berlin technique and the Neidlinger

Mr. Hoppy will be pleased to meet
prospective pupils at the home of E.
Biddle. His hours are from 9 to 11
a. m.. and 3 to 5 p. m. If sufficient
encouragement ia offered, he will
probably remain in Dallas all summer.

CHANGE DATE OF PLAY
Free Library Benefit Will Be Given
Thursday, May 23.
The date of the Library Benefit play
had to be changed from Wednes
day evening, May 22, to Thursday
evening, May 23, owing to the fact
that the Woodman Hall could not be
secured for Wednesday evening. A
change in the cast of the play had to
be made also, as Mrs. Louis
Gerlinger Jr., who had the leading
woman's, part, has been suddenly
called to California. A good leading
woman will be secured to take her
place and the entertainment will be
one of the finest ever offered to a
Dallas audience.
The demand for new books at the
library has been so great lately, owing
to many new readers being added
each month, that the librarian has
somewhat anticipated the generous
proceeds of the entertainment and
bought the following books. It will
be noted that a number of these are
the very best of the late fiction.

SPRING OUTING DAY
Faculty and Students of Dallas
College Enjoy Vacation In
Mountains.
Last Wednesday was the day set
apart by the faculty of Dallas College
for Spring Outing Day. The faculty,
accompanied by about 35 students,
boarded the 7 :15 train for Falls City.
The train stopped at the road crossing
this side of the "City by the Falls,"
and the crowd started to Teal's Creek.
They followed the road that goes by
the Frank Butler place and finally
arrived at a beautiful camping place
about one mile beyond the Teal mill.
Here several pictures were taken of
the party.
The dinner hour was one of the
most pleasing features of the day.
The students assembled around the
grub" in a circle and each received
their "hand-out" until their hunger
was appeased.
After dinner the party broke up into
small groups. Some followed the
creek until they came to the flume
and upon this piece of architecture
they wended their way back to Falls
City. The others returned by the way
they came. The Botany class found
many new and rare specimens on this
trip. The party returned to Dallas at
about 6 p. m., tired, but light-hearted
from their day's outing in the woods.
It is the common voice of the students
that this was the most pleasant outing
ever taken by the students of Dallas
College.
The party was composed of the
following : President Mock, Professors
Metzger, Fisher, Dunkelberger and
Sager; Misses Vera Cosper, Lillian
McVicker, Alice Grant, Winnie Kelly,
Addie Boydston, Katie Dick, Lulu
Dempsey, Georgia Martin, Ruth
