The ability displayed by students
OF the high school of this city and
Boone in their public discussion OF
the problem Of foreign immigration at
q joint debate Friday evening, evil
dences the marvellous influence of the
public school system in the making
Of citizens. These young people in their
teens knew more and talked better
about serious national problem than
the average business man OF today
could do. In few years they will
themselves become business men and
the training of the high school in
American citizenship will help to make
Of them leaders of thought and action
wherever they go.
Viewed from the standpoint Of the
public the past thirty days have been
full of glorious opportunities in Mar
shalltown to buy merchandise at half
price. The clearing sale business has
certainly been pushed to the limit but
from the standpoint of good merchan-
dising it is about time to call halt.
Merchants can't afford to sell below
cost all of the time and it is not good
for town to have the bargain bust
ness overdone. This has been year
of such general business depression all
over the country that sacrifice sales
have been extraordinary common
everywhere but travelling statesmen re
port that business has been better IL
Marshalltown than anywhere else IN
the state and there is not so much eX-
cuse for OVERRIDING the sale business.
We have had too many stores in one
line and the going out of business sale
with its final process Of elimination
has been inevitable for two years past,
otherwise retail trade should adjust
itself to normal conditions soon. The
inability Of the railroads to haul live
stock to market this winter has de-
layed the usual liquidation of corn.
hogs and cattle into money by almost
sixty days and hence the usual spring
trade and settlement that starts in
February has been put over into March.
Things are moving now. however, and
business promises to be brisk this
