Local Comment

East Main street property has been
moving this week. but somewhat slow
" owing to the overhead wires to be
removed, and the street car line has
been blocked for two days owing to
the activity of real property.
The announcement of another season
of delightful entertainments for the
Searchlight club simply promises one
of the many public activities which
make Marshalltown such . delightful
place in which to live.
There should be an attendance of
thousands at the big picnic at the
county farm The experiments being
conducted there are worth hundreds Of
thousands of dollars to the prosperity
OF the county and good time with
ones friends and acquaintance is
worth more than prosperity.
Another farmer has sold his crop OF
winter wheat to the grain buyer and

A movement has really started to
organize local building and loan as
ISOLATION for Marshalltown. Nothing
offers more promise Tor the welfare Of
the city. The shareholders can begin
saving at mere nominal sums per
month and earn good rates Of interest
on their investments, and those who
borrow can own homes at monthly
payments equal to their rent whereas
without the building and loan company
they would never own anything. Or
ganized right. with mere nominal sal-
aries for management, q building and
loan association will build up the city
while making money fast for it's men,
bers.
With almost all of the rooms at st.
Thomas hospital filled, there are a
periencing realization of the great
benefits this hospital confers upon the
public. When it's welcome is extended
to those of ones own family afflicted,
its value can be appreciated and ev-1
eryone should make of himself a mis-
for support of the hospital. In
time there will have to be. a public
canvass for support funds. 1t ought
to come soon.
Opportunity was afforded this week
for some Christian family to save the
soul and earthly happiness Of some |
young girl by offering her a home
which she has never known before. If
one could only realize the home condi-
tions which surround the child Whol
finally lands in an Industrial school,
and if one would study the statistics
of success and failure, it would not
seem hopeless task at all to lead a
young woman into paths Of righteous
ness and usefulness.

While all were stunned and benumbed
by the electricity, DR.. Devine had suf-
.ticient consciousness and presence of
mind to hold to the horse and pull the
animal up and to her feet. The doctor
did not stop, and by the time he
reached home all of the party were
still feeling the effects of the shock.
The next day DR.. Devine drove out
over the road and found that the

pages OF carefully prepared data as to
the development Of the counties of the
