LANDMARK TORN DOWN.
Electric Liuht Tower at Fairfield Is
oone-Has Stood for 20
Years.

Fairfield, May 24.-Fairfield's cleo
trio light tower that was ITO feet high,
with a weather vane Is feet high, has
passed into history. 1t held the cen
trail place in the park for twenty-eight
years and it's taking down was watch
ed with much interest by big crowds.
It was thought that it would be an
ordinary Job to remove the structure,
but it proved to be nerve-racktng.
More than one man started to climb
to it's height and backed down and
out. It was removed by sections and
1T was difficult to secure footing on the
upper ones.
The tower caved at the center once
and it tottered at the top and 1t was
thought it would fall. Increased
wages and nerve finally removed the
bottom section amid the cheers OF q
large crowd of spectators.
The iron was taken to the city wa
terworks where it will be utilized in
reinforcing the new concrete facing OF
the dam.

Golden Text. Jesus said unto them
am the bread Of life. John:vi.35.
Verse 13.-Why had Jesus retired
into this desert place?
Why are occasions of retirement
or solitude good for the soul?
What does the voice of history say
In answer to the question, whether a
man with a message from God is
always sought after by the multitude?
Verse 14.-What is the master pas
sion OF great and good man?
Would Jesus have had the same
compassion on this multitude, If he
mad only been good man, and not
Divine? Why?
Verse 15.-Were these disciples too
officious, or did they do perfectly
right to remind Jesus Of his apparent
duty, and why?
What is the use of reminding God,
our kind Father, Of what he already
knows we need?
Verse 16.-How much virtue Is
there in asking God to do, for our
fellows, what we have the power to
do for them?
II you can, give some examples of
God doing for us, or others, what
we have the power to do for our
selves?
Verses 17-18.-Name your reasons
for, or against, the belief that II we
use the powers we have, or may ac-

Norways Hymn In English

Marshalltown, May 24.-To have his
draft Of translation OF Norway's ma
tional hymn accepted by the national
committee and publishers is an honor
that has come to Ole O. Lien, Nor
wegian farmer living near this city.
When it was desired that the national
hymn of the Norwegian-descent OF this
country, many prominent NorwegiaEs
throughout this country entered the
contest to translate into English the
words of the late Bjornstjerne
Biorsen, written in 1859, in which he
told Of ia, vi alskar dette Landet"
eyes. We Love This Land OF Ours") !.
A singular coincidence lies In the fact
that the word OF acceptance was re-
ceived by Mr.. Lien on May II, the am
niyersary of Norway's Independence,
or in other words, the Norwegian
Fourth OF July concentrating the
signing Of the constitution of freedom
in 1914.

What are some of the evidences
that God does nothing without exact
system, and perfect order, and that
we should follow the pattern he thus
sets?
What is the benefit of asking a
blessing on our food when we eat?
Is it, or not, the duty of a Christian

Verse 2O.-When God feeds man,

MAKE HIT IN
"NERo."

Grinnell, May 24.-(SpeciaI The
Chrestomathian and Ellis literary Soc
| ieties of Grinnell college presented
what was perhaps the finest dramatic
production yet attempted by local
talent Nero" the great poetic
tragedy by Stephen Phillips was the
play and it was given in truly
artistic manner. The reign Of Nero
eliminating in the burning of Rome
was presented splendidly and the
scenes were OF tremendous intensity.
w. H. Young as Nero" and Miss Olga
Hasek as his mother "Agrippina'
both did magnificent acting as did all
the other members of the cast. Ralph
L. Harrison Of Ottumwa, played the
part of Tgellinus, a Roman senator, in
a decidedly thoughtful and artistic
manner, and Joseph A. Darner also
showed to good advantage In the part
of Xerxes, the astrologer.
A large audience was in attendance
and is spite OF the great length and
heavy quality Of the drama, remained
attentive and fascinated throughout
the performance. This is the first
poetic drama Of this type to be pro
duced by local literary societies and
the production Of "Nero" marks an
epoch in the history of dramatics at
Grinnell.

Covernor-elect Fnss, Of Massachu-

United States Senator Henry Cabot
Lodge. and in bis opening speech re-
iterated his previous statements that
he himself Is not a candidate to re-
place the Senator.
1T Is not question whether Re-
publican or Democrat shall fill tn q
vacancy" said Mr.. Foss, 1T Is pure
ly question as to whether the man
she'll measure up to the requirements
Of the times and the needs OF the
people"
Mr.. Foss further said: Senator
Lodge had Just given striking proof
OF the insincerity and unsoundness
OF his position by coming out for
tariff revision rs he has JUST done In
speech in the Senate.
ITO do this now IN this hour Of his
extremity, when he knows that the
sentiment Of his State is overhelm-
lngly against his reelection. The
people have rem n1ered their verdict
in the last election. Senator Lodge
