sestablished have there been SO few
cloudy days and so much warm tenn
perature. In a few cases there have
been warmer days during March, but
the mean temperature during the past
thirty-one days surpass all records.
With two exceptions there has been
less rainfall during the past month
than in any other March in the his
tory of the local bureau. In 1855
and again in 1889 the maximum rain
fall records were made that have
never been equalled. Since the latter
date, however, last months record
is the lowest. 4
According to Dr. George NJ. Chap
pei, the highest temperature last
month was reached on the 2Sd day,
when the mercury rose TO Sc. The
lowest temperature was "a on the
10th. On March 20, 1895. and on
March %, 1907, the thermometer at
the weather bureau Office reached a
record mark of 49, The warm wealth
err. however. did not continue through;
out those months. and a few chilly
DAYS brought the average far below
that Just established. The average
temperature for last month was Ola
the average maximum 63.4 and the
average minimum 39.5. The previous
record for average temperature dur
ing March was 43.5, registered in
1905.
In computing the rainfall for the
last month, the officials at the wealth.
er bureau office find that the rainfall
during the entire period totaled but
80 of an inch.
Almost all of this fell on the night
of March %. Records for prfious
years show that in March. 1888,
there was .04 OF an inch of rainfall
and in March, 1889, IL of an inch.
There were no storms during the

the sun did not shine in some part of

\ favorite and re-read the little vol
ume of verses. After he had finish
ed them he incidentally noticed that
the book had been printed in Oska
loosa thirty-six years ago by the
Central Book Concern. This aroused
mis- curiosity and he naturally turned
| to a newspaper man for information
A little Inquiry has established the
4 fact that the verses were written by
Mrs, r. S. Naylor wife OF A. W. Nay
Tor. who in 1874 was the banker al
New Sharon. Mrs. Naylor was gift
ed woman and was prominent in the
literary circles in Mahaska county
at that time. The family went from
New Sharon to Des; Moines and af'
forwards went to California. 1t is
not known whether Mrs. Naylor ever
made any further contribution to
the published literature of the time
hut If she did not, the world has lost
something, as the little volume in
question contains many jewels.
Another strange development in the
case lies in the fact that in 1874
Manoah Hedge was the travelling rep,
resentative of the Central Book Con-
Germ. and it was through his efforts
that Mrs. Naylor was induced to
have the verses printed in book form.
He made several trips to New Shar-
on before the contract was signed,
and he afterwards helped in the pre-
paration of the manuscript for the
printers.
The old Central Book Concern occu-
pied the building now used by Miss
Black for her Central Book Store,
and got the power to run its machin-
ery from the Johnson Foundry that
occupied the building now' used for
storage house by Clarence Vermill-
ion. In those days it was one of
the leading publishing houses in the
west, and did work for great scope
of territory The concern finally out
grew its surroundings and it was
moved bodily to st. Louis. Here it
was conducted for a number of years
as an independent business enter
prise, but recently it was merged
into the Christian Publishing Com,
pany and has become denomina-
tional institution.
A millionaire lumberman of Kansas
City has become interested in the en-
terprise and has agreed TO furnish all
necessary funds to put it on par
with the largest publishing houses OF
the country. r. w. Warren, who ex-
hibited so much enterprise and abil-
ity in promoting the great Pittsburg
meeting of the Christian churches
has been chosen business manager OF
the publishing house, and the af-
fairs of the concern will be directed
by a board of directors to be chosen
from among the Brotherhood organiza-
tons of the Christian churches OF the
country.
And so runs the busy world along.

PENN COLLEGE.

While there was nothing to the re-
port that Penn College was to be
torn up by the roots and transplant
ed in Des Moines, the publication OF
the runors has served to call atten-
ton to the value of Penn College TO
the city of Oskaloosa.
Measured in dollars and cents, the
college is a valuable institution. 1t
brings in and causes to be spent here,
&C much money as would a manufac-
turing plant employing at least one
hundred men. But this is only one
of the smaller items that go to make
nm the total value of the college 10
the city. Its effect on the morals OF
the community is greater than the
casual observer can imagine. us
presence here attracts a most desir'
able class of citizens. who come TO
make Oskaloosa their home. 1t ad'
yertises the city all over the United
States. and through its connection
with the Quaker church brings Oska'
loosa into prominence wherever there
ie a meeting or a members of the
Society of Friends. It., graduates
and former students live in every
state and territory in the union, In
Canada and Mexico. and in this way
are ties of friendship for Oskaloosa
and dts associations held together
and strengthened as the years go Dy'
Part with Penn College? Well we
guess not! OskalOosa has lost many
valuable institutions and plants IN
the past-partings that dealt crush
ing blows-but when it comes to
Penn College, that is too near the
heart of Oskaloosa to risk surgical
operation. Ii would mean the death
struggle for both the school and the
town. and the end would not JUSTIFY
the means.
The Herald knows something OF
the struggle that Penn College has
had in the past. 1t knows OF the
hard work that is being done now to
maintain the school in the great rank
of Iowa colleges. 1t knows OF the
temptation that glaring offers from
Des Moines might mean to struggling
institutions. But it also knows the
men who are supporting and giving
OF their lives and possessions TO
build up Penn College. and it knows
that it would take more than an Of
fer of abundance or prestige to In
duce them to. ever consider the re-
moval of the school from the grounds
that have become hallowed by its
history.
But Penn College needs aid. like
all other western colleges. and II
needs it right now. And Oskaloosa
can well afford to open its purse
strings and give according to- its
means. A girls dormitory has he
come an absolute necessity It's
building would attract at least 100
more students to the city, and these
100 students would add large per
centage to the money now spent by
students in Oskaloosa. In our efforts
for factories and commercial enter
prises let us not overlook an institu'
ton that combines this feature with
others that go TO make town better
and is people more enlightened.
