Big Grass from lowe.

o. w. Brockway has received from Eu-
gene Paine Of Iowa City, Iowa, a bunch Of
Timothy grass heads (which can be seen
at the Kimbal library that average ten

measure twelve inches. This grass was
four and one-half feet high and was grown
on river bottom land, similar to Connecti-
cut river bottem land. the yield being
three and one-hRlf tons 10 the acre. He
says that in west and northwest lowe

soon as the roof Is on the plasterers
can begin work and then things will
move along in a hurry. The steel
lathes which will be used in the whole
interior OF the auditorium, will make
that portion Of the building practically
fire proof. This feature cost a good
deal Of money, but 1t is well worth
1t in the protection from fire II affords.

rated. It Is hoped now that the deco
rators can get to work on the interior
by the middle OF October. In that

opened to the public by the 10th Of
