Mrs. Baldwin, primary by Mrs. Bryner
and beginners by Miss Stooller.
Not merely the Importance of this
training school work but the character
and prominence of the various instruc-
tors commend this school to the people
of Marshalltovn and should result in
a most generous patronage. The real
significance of the work can only be
realized by attending the sessions and
the first are fully as interesting and
instructive as those which are to fol-
low. The school is Of particular value
to pastors, in emphasizing the need of
correct methods in Sunday school
teaching. 1t is of equal value also TO
superintendent and teachers While
these meetings are primarily for Sun
day schools, all bible students can re-
ceive valuable instruction.
Rev. Cyrus j. Kephart, dean Of the
international training school. and lead
er of the faculty here, is pastor of the
First United Brethren church of Day

AUTO SUCCEEDS PATROL.
Old Wagon 10 RELOCATED TO Fire De-
partment.

Old Wagon ls RELOCATED TO Fire De-
partment.
The auto has permanently succeeded
the wagon police patrol of the city de-
partment, and the latter has been
turned over to the fire department for
use as hose wagon.
For three months, during which time
the wagon has been undergoing re-
pairs and a repainting, the police de-
partment has been using rented au-
tomobile, which has been equipped for
a patrol The trial has been so salts
factory that the machine has perma-
nently replaced the wagon and horses.
The police department has figured
from the experiment that the automo-
10 cents a mile. compared with SO cents
for the same distance for the horses
and wagon. This includes the cost of
keeping the horses, repairs, and the
wages of driver Chief 1. T. Kirby,
of the fire department, and Chief of
Police W. E. Nicholson have both
learned to operate the auto patrol, and
the wages of driver are thus elm
mated. At the same time, the team of
horses which was used on the wagon
patrol is being used by the streets and
alleys department, and is saving the
city 50 a day.
The city will probably purchase an
automobile patrol for the special use of
the department at some time in the
future.

sion as a drainage board in this city
Wednesday afternoon, let the contract
for the digging of the drainage ditch
project in what is known as MARSHALL
Story district No. 2, to R. A. Ely. of
this city There was but one other
bidder. The contract was awarded for
20 cents a cubic yard for the exca-
waiting, 37A cents per lienal foot for
the tile laid in the ground and COW
cred, and SO per cubic yard for the
concrete abutments.
1t Is estimated that there are $4,000
cubic yards of earth to be dug and
moved in digging the ditch, and about
1000 feet of drain tile to be laid.
There is but one abutment. The total
cost will approximate $4,000, and the
work is to be completed this year.
The open ditch is about two and
one-half miles in length, and the tile
forms the laterals. The ditch will
drain approximately 1000 acres of
land, of which ITS acres are swamp
lands, on the Ely, Butler, Robinson
and CLeary farms.
