Mrs. J. P. Riddel and daughter,
Florence, came in Saturday from
Creighton, Neb., to spend few days
with relatives.
Ed Ahart and Guild Rudd went to
Dunlap Sunday and will spend a day
or two at the dredge. Mr. Ahart in
forms us that the ditcher has but a
half mile of ditch yet to cut. TWO ana
a quarter years ago they began the
eleven mile cut to straighten the riv-
err course through Union and Boyer
townships. They are more than a
year behind the time the contract
called for the work to be completed,
and although they have done lots OF
work they have taken long time to
do it in. With such small amount
vet to be cut they will surely have 1t
done in the next month or two. But
this doesn't complete the Boyer drain
age system. The Harrison county
ditch was begun a quarter OF mile
out of line and it is thus found neces-
sary to cut a hundred rods or more
in that county before the two bitches
will be connected. After which the
farmers who own adjacent lands can
begin to figure as to whether the un-
dertaking will prove the success that
the civil engineers and others nave
figured out that it would. Time alone
will solve the great problem.
Paul Ahrens came down town last

A very interesting service was helu
at the M. E. church last Sunday morn
ing, when Mrs. Pickering spoke IN
the interests of the OttumWa Chll-
dren's home. She told that in the
eleven years the home has been es-
tablished that nearly 1000 children
have been cared for and placed IN
homes; that 2S9 were cared for IN
the past year and that there were 4o
children there at present. An ap-
neal for funds to help along this
worthy cause brought a response OF

amount, considering that the ADDRESS
had not been given any previous an
nouncement and that such generous
response came from the budget call.
