Malvern.

enforced and now Malvern is quiet and
peaceful on Sunday and there is Moth
ing sold except that the dairyman
makes his regular morning and evening
trips and meat can be bought until 10
o'clock. The Sunday papers are much
missed, but otherwise the ordinance has
not been of any great Inconvenience to
the citizens and the merchants car now
have their Sunday for rest.
Forest City.

ers' elevator proposition reported in ia
vor of such a venture being established
here. Mr.. Charles Ripe of this city,
who operates a line Of elevators along
the Rock Island, read a carefully pre-
pared paper in opposition to the pro-
posed plan. The keynote of Mr.. Rippe's
remarks was that the line elevators, IS
they are at present conducted, do not
pay a profit commensurate with the in
yestment and that the farmers cannot
reasonably expect to receive higher
prices or lower weighing charges under
present conditions.
Waverly.
The Iowa Sugar Company people are
now out otter more acreage for sugar
beets. A number of representative
farmers in this neighborhood are in
teresting themselves, and they are
meeting with satisfactory receptions.
Some of those who had five acre con-
tracts for 1906 have taken from five
to ten acres more. Quite a number
OF new contracts have also been Sc
cured. The men who have charge Of
this branch of the work feel conf
dent that they will get all the con-
tracts for sugar beets that the factory
wants. The old contracts furnish
about $500 acres, and the manage
ment is now making an effort to get
about 1000 more.
