LOCAL COMMENT

The county fair project has finally
been launched. Organization has been
perfected, and now the promoters are
up to the point of actual preparation
for their first fair 1t is the duty Of
every citizen of Marshalltown. and ev-
cry farmer of the equity, to lend what
assistance he can In making the first
fair credit to the magnificent county
fostering 1t. There is no reason why
Marshall county cannot have the great
est agricultural exhibition in Iowa,
outside of the state fair itself.
~
What has become Of the June brides?
For the month of roses, weddings are
uncommonly scarce.
~
If there were no crops to be con-
sidered, this would be proclaimed
most delightful summer weather. The
rainmaker might make a stake If he
visited this part of the state just now.
~
The city council has wisely decided
to increase the salaries of it's paid fire
department. While municipality is
an expensive thing to run, and 1t ap-
PCdlo W governing DOuy thai tHC
odds and ends must be looked after
in order to give a conservative and
business-like administration, there are
some expenditures over which the
people will make no complaint. Grant
ing living wages to fire department
should be one Of these. Salaries ade-
quate to an employees time must be
paid by any business institution, If it
would keep good men. With increased
pay, the employer can demand in
creased service, which may be Of good
account in the very first fire. A city
fireman has no snap. even tho 1t may
appear that he has but little to do
excepting when actively engaged on
duty. He must be on hand at all times,
and when on duty his time is In no
sense his own. Pay good money and
retain good flremen.
If Marshalltown capital could have
foretold the demand for black silk
gloves this season and started fac
tory last winter those back Of the en-
terprise could have become independ-
emily wealthy. Short sleeves for wom-
ems summer wear has caused an untold
demand for silk gloves, and they are
not to be supplied in market.

Sioux City wonders why, in calling
for bids to pave with asphalt, it finds
but one offer, that of the Barber COM
pany. An unheard-of firm did place
a bid cents in advance of the Bar
Der peoples proposition, but it appear
ed evident that the firm did not ex-
pect a favorable consideration. Other
cities have wondered at the same
thing, and have had the same exper-
fence. Sioux City sent specifications
to different principal asphalt compan-
les in the country, but got the one
bid.
For some unaccountab1e reason pole
tax season rolls around with remark
able rapidity.
This is the time Of year when every
man without a. cherry tree or two
growing in his back yard is kicking
himself because he has neglected to
plant them. Every back yard in the
city will support two or three cherry
trees. That many trees will supply a
family with luscious fruit. They will
cost from so to- rs. cents each from the
nursery. an hours time will set them
out, and five years will bring them into
full bearing. Plant some cherry trees
next spring.

OPENING TOMORROW
Heretofore Has Been Sure Sign Of
Rain-Band Will Give Concert.

Last summer, when Riverview park
was opened for the first time, the
floods descended and the rains came,
and there came pretty near being no
park. At any rate there was no open
ing on that day. A few weeks ago,
when the commissioners set the date
for the 1906 opening, 1t rained, and the
event was again postponed. If the
same rule holds good. the drouth will
be broken tomorrow. If all signs fail
in dry weather the formal opening will
take place as soon as the band and
procession, starting from the court
house at 2 o'clock, can reach the park.
The band will give a concert on the
grounds.

Hay Crop Considered Past Any
Benefit From Rain--Oat
Crop Threatened
HAY WILL COST BIG MONEY
Some Farmers Say II Will Reach $50
Per Ton, and Others Put Figure at
SIS or $16-More flourshment in Dry
Season Hay Than When There is
Plenty Of Rain-crop Talk.

Shredding corn fodder and balng
1t, preparatory to shipping to city
markets. is an industry already con-
templated by Marshall county farm
ers, in view of the threatened high
prices of hay, which will make that
commodity almost prohibitive. Hay
is considered past any help from rain,
should rain come, and the oat crop
gives promise Of being extremely short.
Rain is badly needed for the oats, and
unless they get moisture soon oats will
rival hay in price. The pastures are
also suffering.
Farmers differ ir their opinions as
to the prospective prices of hay next
winter. Some put the figure as high
as $50 per ton, while others are more
conservative, and say that hay will sell
around SIS and SIS. In the country.
at the present time, it is worth S. and
$500.
Because they realize that hay will be
skyward before many more months
the farmers are going to look after
their corn fodder. A well known far
mer said Friday afternoon that there
would be much corn fodder fed next
winter, and that it would be shredded
and baled, and shipped to the cities
to take the place Of hay. 1t doesn't
make bad feed at all. and is preferred
by some feeders to hay.
Those who feed nay will have some
satisfaction probably, in the fact that
during dry seasons there is more nour-
ishment in the hay than when there
is plenty of rain. Shorter feeds may
be given with just as good results as
larger feeds of wet-season- made hay.
The moisture that remains in the hay
when there is plenty of rain has a
tendency to loosen the bowels Of stock,
and consequently not so much of the
fat producing qualities are retained as
nourishment.
Cherries Big Crop.
Cherries this season are a big crop,
but the fruit is showing the effects of
the long continued dry weather. The
cherries will not be so meaty and
juicy, and not nearly so large. They
are ripening faster than they would
had there been some rain, but the
quality does not promise to be quite
so good.
Potatoes May Suffer.
The dry weather also threatens to
do damage to potatoes, which are be-
ginning to blossom. The roots need
moisture badly, and unless there is
rain soon short crop will undoubted-
ly result. Peas and beans are also
suffering from the, drouth especially
peas, the pods Of which are not filling
out as they would with more mois-
ture.

YEssLER SIGNED.
strub Lands Iowa City Twir!er for
Brown-"Who is Luke?"

Today two new pitchers have been
added to the staff of the Brownies,
who have been SO badly handicapped
because there were only two pitchers
who were able to work. President
A. p. Strub, of the local association,
was in Cedar Rapids Friday, and while
there signed Yessler, who has beenat
tending the state university at Iowa.
City. Yessler is touted as being one
Of the best, and if he fulfills what is
expected of him he would strengthen
Browns staff a great deal. Brown
made an effort to sign him long before
the season opened, but was unsuccess-
full.
"Who is Luke?" is a question the
fans are asking today. Luke, whoever
he is, pitched the game at Oskaloosa
yesterday and held the Quakers to five
hits. There is a possibility that Luke
may be the pitcher known as Dick, who
has been with the Clinton Independent
team. Yesterday Brown was expecting
Dick at any time, but at noon tele-
phoned President Strub that he had
not arrived.

large enthusiastic crowd added
! IN: immensely IN making the game
one of universal interest. But.
the final issue was not long in
doubt. After the visitors had
drawn a blank in the first half
the locals started something.
Whipple failed to connect with
the elusive sphere and Brockett
was an easy out; but '.DadO
1 Parry took one in the Stats and
and limped to first. McNally
waited and walked. The daunt-
less Dietz was on the scene with
d we'll timed bingle to the right
garden and Parry cantered
home with the initial run. In
the second Hammond and
Whipple completed the circuit
as the result Of two hits and an
error.
After a careful invoice of the
stock Of runs during the four
ding innings, Chief Brock
cit instructed his braves to en-
large the runScolumn. The pro-
cession started Immediately.
Hits by Brockett, McNally,
Dietz, and Stewart Melted a to-
tai Of FIVE runs. This closed

Ward and Perry. Stewart had
the goods and delivered them
all the way through. Fourteen

Amid the plaudits of several
hundred fans the Rapid City
team on Wednesday added an
other to it's long list of victories
by defeating the "Daileyite"
bunch from Hot Springs by a

From the Rapid City stand

The visitors are conceded to be
one of the strongest teams in the

ticipated. Fades, the Iowa
League product, appeared on
the firing line, but after three
innings was forced to retire.
The bombardment started in
the first round and continued
until Yarman relieved Fades in
the fourth. After this the game
was not such a walk away. The
visitors had discovered a weak
spot in our right garden and
this coupled with infield errors
gave a total of Z runs. Stew
art had a choice assortment of
twisters on hand and proved a
puzzle for the visitors from start
to finish. Whipple's home run
drive was a feature. Score:
