the milk Of 1000 COWS Marshall coun-
ty farmers should be able to furnish all
that Ia required. besides supplying the
wants OF the other creameries thruout
the county
The new stove factory that the Len
noHsFurnace Company intends to build
next year Is the result OF the trial OF
an experiment In Marshalltown. A year
or more ago the furnace company be-
gan manufacturing its Quick Action
steel range, and the stove commanded
so much attention on the market that
a new and separate factory. removing
the department altogether from the
furnace factory, has become advisable.
The stove business Is one OF the lead
ing Industries in the cities in which
they have been manufactured for years,
and IL the present indications material
lie the stove business In Marshalltown
will be one Of the biggest in the city
within the next few years.
The members Of the Grand Army in
MarshalltoWn are interesting them
selves in movement to secure the leg
islature to move the Iowa soldiers and
sailors monument to this city and
place 1t on the grounds OF the state
soldiers home. In their efforts the
old soldiers will have the cooperation
OF many Of the different posts in Iowa.
The complaint on the part OF the SOL
diers Of Iowa II that the monument.
as it now stands In Des Moines. Is over
Swallowed by buildings. and is practi-
cally hidden from public view-in other
words can not be found unless one is

have to ask policeman. The legisla-
ture may not be made to see the situa-
ton a. the members of the Grand
Army do. but there Is no more ideal
place for the monument than the SOL
diers' home grounds. Already there
has been some talk in Des Moines that
ment, but always that the new site, II
there be one, be In Des Moines. The
soldiers home is the most appropriate
tribute to Iowa's soldier and sailor
dead would be respected and remain a
credit to the great state that erected it.
The paid fire department Of the city
has made an excellent showing within
the past year, as shown by a compila-
ton of figures on the fires of 1910 by
Chief Kirby. With the greatest num-
Der of fires in a single year in the his
tory Of the department. the department
has held down the losses to a very
modest sum. It Is we'll that the old
days of the "one-man hose cart" are
past, yet the volunteers did good work
after all, considering their equipment.
The action of the poultrymen of the
city, in organizing an association to
promote the welfare Of breeders and
fanciers. is one in which a wide inter-
est turnout central Iowa will be COM
manded. There il probably no other
side line" business in which so many
people are interested as poultry. and
the further one gets into 1t. within linn
itations. the more fascinating it be-
comes There is much to be gained IN
Ian association of the breeders and
fanciers. and there IS no reason why
Marshalltown could not become the
poultry center that Freeport and some
other Illinois towns are. The birds are
bred in this county in enormous num-
bers. and they average good quality.
With the proper kind OF an associa-
ton. conducted on business principles.
Marshalltown could easily get the
state show, and after the new associa-
ton is on its feet the securing Of the
state show for Marshalltown should be
borne In mind.
