BuckNER ON CLEAN HEARTS.
Points Out Necessity of Clean Mon
All Malls Of [ IT,

Points Out Necessity of Clean Mon in
All Walks of Life.
An audience of 400 was in attend
ance at the meeting at the Methodist
church last night. A special feature of
the song service was the singing OF
the Sunbeam Chorus" composed OF
children of the Sunday school, directed
by Mr.. Gilmore. DR. Buckn er preached
on the text, Create in Me a Clean
Heart, Q, God" A clean heart is the
one vastly important thing. Men may
be brave hearted, tender hearted good
hearted" and yet not be pure hearted.
Chirst's supreme emphasis was on the
difference between external purity and
heart cleanaess. The rich young ruleN
had lived life of outward obedience,
but his heart was unclean. PLATE
washed his hands, but there. were scar
let stains on his guilty soul. The relig-
Gus leaders Of the time We're. in Christs
own words, whited sepulchres, out
wardly fair, hut inwardly full of dead
mems bones. The accusers Of the fallen
woman who demanded that she be
stoned We're themselves models Of out
ward proprieW. but the Masters quiet
words, Let him that is without sin
cast the first stone" caused them to
stink away Remember. Gods search
light is ever turned in. The preacher
pointed out various conditions Of heart
uncleanness, as murderous hate, envy,
malice, Jealousy and selflshness which
is the root Of all.
Who should have clean hearts? It
was a king who said, Create in me a
clean heart" and the speaker inferred.
therefore, that our rulers should have
clean hearts, from the president down
to the humblest municipal officer.
Clean hearted rulers will make for a
clean nation. They might not get so
many votes, under present conditions,
but they would if there were more
clean hearted voters. Business men
should have clean hearts. They might
not make so much money. God give US
generation Of clean hearted business
men. Among others named in the list
were teachers. fathers, mothers and
preachers.
The meetings will continue tonight
and Sunday. DR.. Buckner will preach
in the morning on "The Importance Of
and Difficulties in, the Building of the
WALL" and in the evening on Sin"
There will be chorus singing at both
Sunday services.

TO BERRY GROWERS
E.. e. Hood Ha. Something to Say to
the Berry Growers Which Will Be
of Interest to Them.

For years past the wise housewife
has waited until the strawberry mar
ket has become glutted and the mer-
chant forced to take what he can get.
before she puts up her strawberries for
the winter. This has been fine for her
but pretty tough for the grower.
Mr.. Hood, being in the wholesale
fruit business, and being in touch with
the market all over the country, saw
that while we had more strawberries
here than the local demand would con-
sumo, there were markets which were
not getting Strawberries enough. Here
he saw an opportunity to do some bus
mess, and at the same time do the
berry grower q real service. He bought
from the local growers and shipped
out the first car OF strawber-
ries that was shipped from
Marshalltown. This had the effect
of maintaining the price on the local
market. when otherwise the bottom
would have dropped out. The growers
had little experience In this after Mr..
Hood was out Of the market.
This year Mr.. Hood has figured on
large increase in the shipping of straw
berries to the other markets, and
knowing that there will be larger de-
n1and for berry box lumber. has pur-
chased a large car Of berry boxes and
crates. This will be of great con-
venience to his customers as they ean
get taeir boxes where they sell their
berries inis will bring the grower in
constant touch with the shipper.

PUPILS 1O SPELL
FOR CASH PRIZES
Interesting Feature to Be In

MORE ATTENTION TO STUDY
Superintendent Palmer Believes Sub

| Superintendent Palmer is a believer
in the old blue backed spellin' book.
He considers the subject of spelling ar
| important one, and thinks that 1t has
lie school work. He has a plan tc
stimulate interest in spelling. and is
arranging for a series of matches in
which school spirit will be a further
incentive to thoroughness.
Mr.. Palmer has had spelling taught
more thoroughly since he took charge
Of the schools, and the interest has al
ready been awakened by Friday after
noon contests in the different rooms
Excellent results have already been
shown.
To further the interest MIR. Palmer
is arranging for public contests to be
held in the auditorium Of the manual
training building. The first one will be
for sixth grade pupils of the different
wards, and will likely be held some
time next week. The second will BE-
for seventh grade pupils. The work
will also be carried into the high
school.
In order to make the interest as keen
as possible cash prizes will be given.

the winners of each contest. The prize
idea, and the fact that the contests

ings. already assure a deep interest in
the work. The prize money will be
raised by 10-cent admission fee to
the contests.
Mr.. Palmer has furnished for the
contests certain number of words
that may be studied On these the
contestants may prepare themselves.
Another list, however, words that they
should know how to spell but which
are not indicated for preparation, will
also be pronounced to the pupils.
Those who are to. take part in the
initial contest are working hard over
their list for preparation. and great
deal Of interest Is being shown.

Local Comment

II there Is any virtue in signs,
spring has come to stay. Frogs have
left their secluded quarters to bask
in the sunlight. The fish are running
upstream seeking desirable locations
for the spawning season. The robin
chirps merrily from the treetops; the
meadows resound with the merry
songs Of the yellow throated lark,
Even the pretty little bluebird, con-
sidered the surest harbinger of spring,
Is with us. While March is treacher-
GUS some of the wise ones. who have
forecast the weather for half CEN
fury, firmly believe spring is here.
Apathy shown by COW owners in the
recent milk inspection ordinance does
not speak we'll for law abiding senti-
ment. Those who have delayed making
application for inspection have had
all the opportunity they need in which
to argue the merits of their case, and
have been given a respectful hearing.
The ordinance is in force. in fact has
been for weeks, and still there are
people who delay in obeying it. With
the terrible effects of infected milk
apparent. the mayor ought not to be
forced to threaten arrest of delin-
quents Almost daily the press tells
IF some terrible condition that has
been discovered by inspection. AT Kan
kakee, ILL.,, this week in state institu-
ton, where children were fed with
milk from a herd of $50 cows, and
nearly all of them thoroughbreds Jer-
seys, 100 of the entire number were
condemned upon inspection for tuber-
culosis.
Publication in the T.-R. of a mans
distress in finding a house in Mar
shalltoWn in which to live has demon
strated the need Of more wide-awake
advertising on the part of local real
estate men. When the T.-R. donated
the publicity and the man was about
to leave town a real estate agent got
after him with a house for his accom-
mediation. Incidentally the gentleman
received two letters from Waterloo.
telling him to come to Waterloo and
they would fit him out with a house.
Marshalltown real estate men should
list their properties and keep them
listed, they should prepare literature

advertising would do the town as much
good as a new factory, in fact 1t could
bring more new families to town than
any one factory would employ.
There are other men. and many of
them, who are hunting the houses
they can not find. There has never
been a time in the history of the city
when the Times Republican has re-
ceived SO many complaints from peo-
pie who can't find houses to rent in
Marshalltown. Our travelling men say
that they know of fifty men with fam
lilies who would move here If they
could find houses.
Strange as it may appear the preach
ers are not all agreed as to the wis
dom of inviting Billy Sunday to de-
scend upon the town. Some are actu-
ally opposed, and several of the lead
ing ministers assume positions OF neu-
tralty and doubt. The question seems
to be as to the permanency OF benefit
from the furore and turmoil which six
weeks of Billy Sunday can sbe de-
pended upon to produce. The commo-

FAKE HAIR PREPARATIONS.
Do Hair No Good, But Often Cause II
TO Fall Out,

Many hair preparations are fake"
because they are merely scalp irritants.
They often cause dryness, making the
hair brittle, and, finally, lifeless. Dam
druff Is the cause of all trouble with
hair. 1t is a germ disease. The germ
makes cuticle scales as it digs to the
root Of the hair, where it destroys the
hairs vitality, causing it to fall out. To
cure dandruff, the germ must be killed.
Destroy the cause, you remove the eff
feet" Newbro's Herpicide is the only
hair preparation that kills the dandruff
germ, thereby leaving the hair grow
luxuriantly. Sold by leading druggists.
