MarshalItoWn Could Have One very
Easily If She Would Hustle.
At a recent meeting of a commercial
club in an Iowa city about the size of
Marshalltown, someone got up ana.
suggested the city ought to have an
auditorium. After few remarks, $6,-
700 was subscribed on the spot.
An auditorium can be built for $25,-
900. The lot should be bought for So
900 to $4,000. The man who sells the
lot ought to put up $4,000 in cash plus
the lot and take back a long time
mortgage for the amount at per
cent. The business men would need
to raise $4,000 This could be done
by selling $50 shares at 500 each, pay
able x25 seini-annually, and the

right away, and the building erected

;n and che cked, each share would nave,
matured We could then turn afurnd
and lift. the mortgage. One hdnc. ed
shares could be placed In the treasury
for those who pay off the mortgage.
Such a building would accommodate
state conventions of business men and
political parties. 1t could be so ar
ranged as to furnish an armory Tor
military company and receive a rental
of $500 per year from the state, which
would pay the interest on the mort
gase. 1t would accommodate the
farmers short course entire, when

fair. Every time 1000 men came to
Marshalltown to attend convention,
they would leave $4,000 in money here
and go home to do $4,000 worth OF
advertising for the city.
An auditorium is possible for the ge
town located at the exact geographical
center Of the state, If we want one.

Some Strange Freaks Of City Life.
When A H. Dexter, manager of the
Palisades Amusement Park, lived in
Boston some years ago he met Hub
bard Page, of Palisade, who lived at
that time in the same block there.
Coming to New York City a few
years ago, ne was nVlnS uptown WHeH
he discovered Page living in the same
block in a nearby apartment The
Boston acquaintance was renewed, of
course, but like many busy New York
ers it was often months between their
meetings. Men who know each other
in New York seldom have gliding hours,
so Messrs. Dexter and Page found it
easy to forget for the time that the
other was around
Finally, when Mr.. Dexter moved into
an apartment of. the Palisade Supply
Company, in Palisade, he had lost track
Of young Page altogether until one day
he happened to run across him in the
park.
Hello, Page said Mr.. Dexter.
''Where are you living now ?'i
Right here in Palisade. Where do
you live?" returned Page.
Right here in Palisade myself, was
the surprising remark of Manager Dex-
ter.
And now the two are fast friends.
Village life is very different from city
life Here real friendships can exist,
and the sweetest essence of life is
found.
