Hon. V. r. McGinnis addressed a
crowd of about one hundred and fifty
voters at the opera house Thursday
evening of last week. There were
about the same number of voters
present that attended the Hepburn
speech, and that they were a most in
teresting lot of listeners was evident
by the fact that only two persons left
the hall during the entire time of his
speech, which lasted an hour and three
quarters, and they were both young
boys. Lineville voters will always
welcome speech from Mr.. McGinnis.-

The state board of control is taking
great and justifiabe pride in the farm
products at the various state institu-
tions. At the Clarinda hospital for the
insane there have been grown this
year vans as large as a bead that
takes six and three-eights hat. On
the scales they tip the beam at seven
and one-half pounds each. But the
special delight of the board is the corn
produced under it's direction at Mt.
Pleasant and Clarinda, specimens of
which are on exhibition in Des Moines.
The state owns about $4,000 acres of
land and grows almost everything.
Miss Clare Lubbock was in Mt. Ayr
yesterday, representing the state board
of control, by whom she is employed in
the interest of the state Industrial school
for girls at Mitchellville and the
soldiers orphans home at Davenport.
She makes her home at Davenport, and
may be addressed in care of the soldiers
orphans home there. The state is in
terested in finding homes for it's wards,
and that was Miss Lunbeck's mission
here. The policy of the home is as
much to place the older boys on farms
to work for wages as it is to secure
the adoption of the younger children
