ment, Marshalltown is gaining an ex-
ceptional reputation as fine town
to live ill.," Let's do more of the
Steiner kind of Christian work and
gain "a reputation for having town
wherein the widows can find friend
In need and the afflicted a sympathy
which lifts a material burden. Let's
loosen up for charity all around.
The epidemic of fruit thefts is not
an uncommon outbreak for any city,
but IL should be stopped by severe
measures II necessary. We have in
mind one aged man who has only a
few more years Of pleasure on this
earth left to him, whose one joy thru
the summer has been to nurse and tend
few vines and see the fruit grow.
The commercial value of his crop was
small indeed and the bad boys who
stripped his vines got very little for
their trouble, but the value of that
particular fruit was countless to the
old man. who had raised 1t. II those
boys could have felt the dtsappoint-
ment that they had caused to man
whose years would have commanded
their veneration and respect they
would not have taken his fruit.

Marshalltown will regret to lose Su-
perintendent Coffeen as much, IL not
more than any Of his predecessors. He
was man who impressed one with his
sincerity and his work was done with
ability The position offered him at the
head of the state reform school Of Mas
sachusetts Is compliment to the good
Judgment OF the school board which
had chosen him for Marshalfown, and
1t is an opportunity to devote an ans
bilious life to a field Of work wide
enough for the utmost talentsNa strong
man can develop within himself. Good
cheer will go with Mr.. Coffeen from
Marshalltown to aid him in the very
large task which he will undertake.

The question as to whether money
from the park fund can be used to
promote entertainment at the city park

play for political gathering. Also the
park board should determine in adj
vance what is to be their attitude to-
ward political gatherings at the public
park on holidays. The socialists turned
clever trick OH Labor Day and got a
fine audience. In times OF spirited
campaigns the democrats, republicans.
socialists and prohibitionists may all be
headetd for the park on the same day
to take advantage Of the same crowd.
There should be some system about it,
so we will not have any head-on COL

the women and children can picnic
while politics are raging around the

Larger Than Last Year.

The end Of the first week of school
comes with the work well organized
In all departments, an increased at
tendance and an unexpected demand
for the privileges of the new manual
training course.
The enrolment, which started with
2,100, has been increased during the
week to 1900. and before the month
is ended this will show a. much larger
gain. The enrolment now exceeds
that of last year by considerable
number. The attendance in the high
school is about 400, the greatest gain
in pupils being in that department
The work, according to reports made
by the teachers, is moving smoothly
and organization was effected with
more promptness than ever before de-
spite the torn-up condition at the
high school,
The manual training department In
the high school has been organized
and beginning next week boys from
the sixth and seventh grades of the
other buildings will go to the high
school at stated periods for this work.
One day each week Will be allotted to
the grades in this department, which
is proving much more, popular among
students and patrons than was antici-
pated. The problem now is not in in
ducing the pupils to take the course.
but to provide facilities for those who
are anxious for 1t. A waiting list will
be necessary until the new manual
training building is completed. but
when that is finished the department
will be able to care for all who take
the course.
Fewer transfers from one building
to another because Of crowding of
classes, were necessary this year than
heretofore. 1t was found needful to
make some transfers from the first
grade of the Click school. fourth grade
of the First ward. the sixth grade OF
the Rogers school. and the kinder
garten of the Woodbury. school, which
were somewhat conisested.
Regular teachers meetings will be-
gin Monday afternoon. when the teach

Local Comment

Taxes have been reduced in Mar
shalltown for the next year. The
county has paid off every dollar of its
Indebtedness and the CITY has reduced
what it owes by s25,0e0 in a year and
a half OF the present administration.
These are incidents that all trend In
the right direction.

When anyone hears Of poor wild
ow woman struggling to keep chill
dren in school or others battling for
existence while disease blights the
home, let him loosen up. Some devout
Methodist ladies got to praying during
the past few days for relief to a neigh
Dor sorely afflicted with sickness, and
something suggested 1t as their duty
to raise money enough to pay Off
small mortgage on their unfortunate
friends home. They were surprised
to learn how easy it was to do. If the
truth were known there was more real
pleasure in religion of that kind than
in holding a bean dinner for foreign
missions. DR.. Steiner calls 1T applied

Profits in Corn Cribs.

Hon. Charles Eckles: Today's
market price for corn is 46 cents per
bushel When corn was being cribbed
last fall the price was 80 cents, a gain
of 16 cents per bushel or $3.50 per 1000
bushels. The material to build q crib
to hold 1000 bushels costs less than
500. Figure out for yourself that the
gain pays for the crib and a round
profit besides. No farmer ought to be
without plenty of crib room to reap
the legitimate profits Of his labor.
We carry in stock constantly the
best material for corn cribs perfect
