Grinnell, Feb. 1.-THE opera house
was we'll filled last evening with inter-
esting listeners to the speech OF Fran
els j. Heney. who delivered the lecture
on the Y. NJ. c. A. course. The speech
began late to accommodate the large
crowd that waited to see the ending OF
the basketball game at the gymnasium.
For more than two hours the noted
speaker kept hts audience with him
physically and mentally while he pic
tured the beginnings of things political
in this country and the ways we have
failed to live up to our opportunities
to give all men an equal chance to gain
the products OF their own talent and IN
dustry. The fine address, the flashes Of
Irish wit. the genial humor pervadins
the entire address, and his profound
knowledge Of the subject in hand made
the speech of more than two hours In
length one of intense interest.
The commercial club, after an ex-
haustive investigation into the merits
Of the Mewes heater and the possibility
of moving the factory to this city. has
come to the conclusion that the plans
for obtaining this new enterprise for
Grinnell are not at present feasible and
the project has been dropped. 1t was
found that at least $4,000 would be
necessary to build and equip factory
! for the successful manufacture Of the
! heater. and there were some other OBJ
| jections.

The talk about permanent short
course for Poweshiek county that start
ed at the closing Of the course here
some weeks ago is now crystaltzing into
action and seems likely to materialize.
A recent meeting OF some OF those who
have been most active for the past
three years in this enterprise in Grim
nell with the Commercial Club OF Man
tezuma brought out for the benefit OF
| that body the experience OF this city
and the suggestion that the course be
secured for Montezuma next year. for
Brooklyn the year following. and then
for Grinnell again. and that this ar
rangement be a permanent one. The
plan has the advantage Of uniting the
three principal towns Of the county for
