FARMERS ARE
COMING TO iowa
MANY JOURNEYING FROM WEST
TO WORK IN SUGAR BEET
FIELDS IN WAVERLY

Waverly, April 1S.-One thousand
farmers are now being brought to
Iowa from Kansas, Illinois and other
states to grow beets for the Iowa
Sugar company at Waverly. All the
railroads are bringing these people to
this state, and the Rock Island will
run special train next Tuesday from
Topeka, Kans., to northern Iowa for
this purpose. This train will carry
more than 200 persons, all of them ex-
perienced farmers, pioneers in that
state, and the peculiar contrast In
the situation is that these people are
now returning east to good old Iowa,
the state Of opportunities that have
not and will not be exhausted for
some time.
Although the Iowa Sugar company
will place many of the families on
farms near and around Waverly, it
will not confne itself entirely to its
home territory Many Of the newcom-
ers will be placed on lands in northern
Iowa, and the beets will be shipped to
Waverly and the other factories that
will be constructed where beets will
be turned to sugar.
The sugar industry has been some
what overlooked in this state, but 1t
has made it's way into prominence,
and must now be considered seriously.
Iowa land has made it possible, for
after a thorough trial the sugar COM
pany finds it profitable to bring peo-
pie from other states to grow sugar
beets. ,... .,-..-...-. g. ,

GIRL DRIVES AUTO
FROM Denver
MISS WINkLER OF GLENWoOD
MAKES TRIP TO IOWA IN
SEVEN DAYS

Glenwood, April 16.-The average
man would think he had done some
thing worthy of comment in driving
an automobile from Denver to Glen
wood. This feat has just been accom-
plished by a Glenwood young lady,
Miss Ada Winkler. Miss Wlnkler,s
plucky performance was done with
the Wiakler auto. Mrs. A. H. Wink
Ter, her daughter, Ada, and son, Al
bert, were in the machine, and they
are here forsthe summer.
The party left Denver March %, and
only seven days were consumed IN the
trip. The party travelled only during
the day and put up at hotels during
the night. The best time made was
between Gothenburg and Central City,
Neb, when the 100 miles was made
in less than nine hours.
Miss Winkler before leaving Denver
took course of study in the art OF
running and caring for a machine, and
was compelled to undergo an exam'
nation. Parties in Denver operating
care are required to have a license.
Accompanying the Winklers from
Denver was a friend, Mrs. c. H. I'm
derwood. She came as far as Oga-
lalla, Neb., and then returned by rail-
to Denver. The party visited several
days at this point with Mr.. Wlnkler
at the ranch, and Albert, who has been
on the ranch all winter. came on with
his mother and sister.

Lynn County Metropolis Wants to
Make Marion an Addition and Get
Million Dollar Courthouse.
Cedar Rapids, April 16.-This city is
going to have very decided gain in
population this year, aside from the
normal increase, if the plans of num-
Der of the leading business and profess
sional men of Marion county do not
miscarry.
It is proposed to ask Cedar Rapids
to take Marion and Kenwood Park in
to it's incorporation, which would be
an addition of over 5000 people. The
Marion people are DESTROYS OF getting
a scent fare on the street car line,
which now operates under the law
governing interurban railroads and
charges 10 cents for the distance.
From a local standpoint, however,
the biggest thing involved is the prop
osition to remove the county seat to
this city and build half million dollar
court house on Mays Island, which Is
now the civic center of the city. Mar
ion has been the county seat since the
county was organized, and with the
help of the rural districts has success
fully resisted all efforts at removal,
but now that Cedar Rapids has site
for a court house sentiment has
changed in the country and even Mar
ion is willing to yield the point in or
der to become part of the city and
get the benefit Of cheaper car fare.

CORN LOOKS GOOD FLOWED ONCE
An Unheard-of Experience Near Par
kersburg-Maize Planted in March
is Now Very Luxuriant.

Parkersburg, April ia farmer
near here, just to experiment and OBJ
serve what the effect would be, plant
ed ten acres of ground to corn the lat
ter part of March. The genial sun
shine and the rains of early April
coaxed the corn up out of the ground
and it grew and thrived and waxed
strong. Though there have been a
couple Of light frosts since the plants
peeked through the soil, they were not
severe enough to kill the tender plants
and the corn is now four or five inches
tall and has been ploughed through
once.
The like of this experience has new
er been heard before, and it is beiiev-
ed thEc it sets the record for all time
for the northern and central states.
With no killing frost from this time
forward, this corn will be tasseled and
cared by July 1.

PROF. SCHEVE
HIGHLY H0N0RED
TEACHERS ORATORIO
is HEARD IN
BERLIN

Grinnell, April 16.-(Special)-
Professor Edward Benjamin Scheve,
the noted organist of Grinnell college,
recently received distinct honor and
recognition for his ability as COM
poser. Prof. Scheve has been spend
ing this year in Berlin, Germany,
where his oratorio was lately render
ed. The correspondent of the Chicago
Tribune reports the affair as follows:
cat the famous Philharmonic Hall,
Edwin B. Scheve, organist and theory
teacher at Grinnell college, Grinnell,
Iowa, was leading Germany's premier
orchestral organization (Prof. Arthur
Nickish's Berlin Philharmonic play
ers), in Scheve's own oratOriO. The
Death and Resurrection of Christ"
This event was notable, because it
was the most ambitious orchestral
performance ever attempted In Berlin
by an American conductor. Scheve
had the cooperation of great chorus
Of 800 voices and quartet Of SOLO
lists"
This production occurred in Berlin
last Sunday evening. April 10, and
was pronounced success. One Of the
piano accompanies who participated
was Miss Bertha Kathleen Shuts, an
other of Grinnel1's music instructors.
Prof. Scheve's oratorio was present
ed few years ago in Chicago by a
large chorus, accompanied by the The
odore Thomas orchestra, and was CIV
en- two years ago in Grinnell by the
Grinnell Oratorio society, assisted by
the Thomas orchestra. Part Of 1t was
rendered at the Easter Vesper service
here this year. 1t has always met
with great favor and has proved the
composer to be of unusual ability.
Professor and Mrs. Scheve and Miss
Shuts will sail the latter part of Aug
ust for America and will take up their
duties with Grinnell college when the
fall term opens. Grinnell students are
awaiting with great anticipation the
return of these talented artists.
