LOCAL COMMENT

The Marshalltown donation to the
Frisco sufferers could not be more ap-
propriate than the relief committee mas
decided upon, coming as it does from
the very heart of one Of the biggest
hog and corn producing states of the
country. A car load of MarshalltoWn
pork, and another of MarshalltoWn
corn, will provide many a fine meal for
the destitute of the stricken territory.
~
1t has been decided that there will
be no chautauqua this year. An eXper-
iment of two years has not proved
financial success, altho in other ways
no cl1autauqua could have excelled 1t.
The trouble seems to be lack OF the
proper people who have the time TO
devote to the management OF the en-
terprise. One man can not run Dig
chautauqua, and the work of the local
assembly has been shouldered by one
man in the two years 1t has been con-
Quoted. The chautauqua is pleasing
summer feature for any town, yet In
this city 1t did not prove to be the
drawing card that the attractions mer-
tied.
What has become of the King drag !?
There is not so much heard of it To-

the county good results are noticeable
on the country roads. In the neigh
boring county of Grundy there is soon
to be installed King drag for every
mile of road in Melrose township,
the trustees of that township having
placed an order for seventy-two drags.
1.-The best roads in any single town
ship in the state" is the aim of the
Melrose trustees. A road drag to he

With Substantial Remembrance.

Business Men Present Police Officer
With Substantial Remembrance.
Officer Frank Haas, Of the city po-
lice force, whose recent singlehanded
arrest of gang of safe blowers has
caused so much favorable comment,
was presented, Friday afternoon. by
100 of the business men of Marshall
town, with a substantial gift in appre-
citation of his services in effecting the
arrest. The remembrance to the Of
ficer consisted of n beautiful gold
watch fob, bearing an Elks charm set
with diamonds and rubies. and con-
tanning the initials of the officer:
fine leather couch, big leather chair,
kitchen range and kitchen cabinet
In presenting the gift there were no
formalities. the articles being sent to
the Haas home with letter signed by
the donors. The officer and his wife
were overwhelmed with the manifesto
ton, and there was probably no hap
pier man in the city than Frank Haas
Accompanying the gift was the fol-
lowing letter:
ITO Officer Frank Haas: The bus
mess men Of Marshalltown appreciate
the duty performed by you in arresting
the six safe blowers unattended. We
all fully realize that you We're faith
fully performing your duties as an Of
ficer of the law, and we wish to ex-
tend to you not only our sincere ap-
probation. but present to you the ac-
companying tokens OF our respect for
the duties you so faithfully fulfilled
Kindly accept these gifts with our best
wishes for your future success and
prosperity"
The gift to Mr.. Haas was literally
subscribed to by the business men. The
idea Of the presentation was conceived
by Mr.. George Wilton. A similar
amount from each donor was accept
ed, altho several wanted to give more
to the fund.

Sentiment of many civil war veter-
ans against the soldiers preference

different parts of the state, and shows
that the old soldiers themselves, IN
numerous instances, want no more

deserve. child, from his primer up

to honor the brave who fought Tor
their country. 1t is not that the old
soldier is not honored that many con-
slider the new Iowa law to be unjust,
and more in the nature of political
buncombe than real love and admlra-
ton for the old soldier.
When the terrible Iroquois disaster
brought death and desolation into so
many homes. the theaters turnout the
country looked to their fire protection
and exits rs precautionary meas
ure, and city councils became more
strict in enforcing fire escape ordln-
ances. Now that the 'Fricco fire has
demonstrated how city can be wiped
out in Il few hours time. agitation is
again rife. and in a number of Iowa
cities redstricting of fire limits Is be-
ing carefully considered. This Is really
an important thing. and is overlooked
in many cities. A permit is granted
here and there, to accommodate some
political friend or business associate.
and the first one knows there are
scores of wooden structures within the
fire limits A city council can not be
too strict, in enforcing the limit ordin-
ance, as many have had cause to real
ize In cases of disastrous fires.
The man who has a dirt street in
front of his property should plead for
a King road drag. Many an Iowa city
is keeping it's dirt roads as smooth and
almost as hard as a pavement by using
King drags.

Business Is good in Marshalltown and
we are glad of it. One young man has
just purchased a stock of goods here
after having had his experience in an
other Iowa town. often held up as a
model OF enterprise and commercial
thrift. Overrated was his verdict of
that place. Buy in Marshalltown was
the decision he came to in placing his
investment.
The farmers Of Marshall county are
subscribing literally for stock in the
county fair but they should also be
considering carefully the men whom
they want for directors. Whatever the
fair proves to be must be accomplished
by the farmers in charge of the man
agement Merchants can put up the
most of the money but the farmers
must make the fair.
