MAKE VVAr"0P1CNIC DANCE
Row Threatens to Breik Up Big An

Webster City, la., Oct. 8. The town
of Jewell is in the throes of a dance
controversy which bids fair to suc
cessfully rival the fam-jus dance row
at Ellsworth last winter. In the latter
town the trouble arose between tne
dance hall proprietors nnd the church
es. In Jewell the trouble has sprung
up over the manner In which the an
nual farmers' picnic Is conducted. It
has been customary In years gone by
to close the picnic with a dance. This
custom wns followed this year and
has been the means of raising a pretty
ro.
Jewell church people hr.ve llsen In
p.rms. They threaten to withdraw
their support from the p:cnlc another
year if the dance Is not stopped. The
situation between the picnic promot
ers nnd the church people hns becomo
so tense that It bids fair to break up
next year's picnic unless It Is satisfac
torily adjusted. The matter Is now at
the height of discussion.
