Local Comment

The raising Of 100000 for two pub
lie enterprises ct the ring Of bell
still continues to astound the outside
public. Newspapers In almost every
other city in the state are discussing
THE Marshalltown Way" editorially
and travelling men who make the
smaller towns in Iowa are not yet thru
telling how Marshalltown did 1t. Their
customers in the stores and their fell
low travellers on the trains and at the
hotels all want to know about it. ION
the face of the returns" comments the
Sioux City Journal at looks as If Mar
shalltown was the place for the solicit
tors of our struggling colleges to visit"
Wonder as to the performance seems
to dominate the comment of newspa-
pers and street corner gossip alike.
What is county road that we read
so much about anyway? Answer-Any
road that is not dragged.
To see train of street cars pull on;
of the city park with three open trail
ers loaded to the guards with children
in their white dresses. makes Mar
shalltown look like the south side parks
of Chicago. People who have lived here
a long time should ride down TO the
park on the street car line just for the
strange sensation it will produce.
1t is now time for the Country Club
to move over to the new street car
line Double the membership and ten
times the enjoyment at present afford
ed would be possible with street car
service to the Country Club. Let new
grounds be rented or bought and let
new sod be prepared this fall so as
to grow the sod year before the
grounds are to be used Let all Of the
buildings and cottages be moved to
new site near the car line. 1t looks like
a huge undertaking, but the Country
Club is now fifteen years old and when
the increased service possible for an
other fifteen years at a site on the car
line is considered even the construc-
ton of bran new outfit is practicab BILE.

The letting of the contract for the
new $4,000 hospital and the consump-
ton of a column Of newspaper space
to enumerate a list of new residences
that have been started are chronicles
of the building Improvements for one
week and they give us a photograph
Of what Is going on in the old town
just now.
Then comes the unofficial announce
ment that the NJ. & ST. L. railway has
appropriated $4,000 more than usual
for building improvements to its shops
in this city which, of course, will hel1
some when the work is actually in
progress.
The new concrete bridge over the
Iowa river on the East Main stree,
road which was built In such a rush
last fall, still stands unused while tbs
temporary structure is serving the
public as bridge. The trouble is that
the wing walls Of the new bridge have
cracked and the county supervisors
have demanded that the contractors
make good the imperfections under
their bond. Like most contractors they
will do the work when they have te
and not much before, as their new
work is keeping them busy. The board
should press the matter now for it il

Refrigerat;ng Hogs
Enrossts "a Market

One Of the great problems that con-
fronts the shipper when he comes to
ship fat hogs . long distance In hot
weather is to reduce to the minimum
the loss by shrinkage ana by death Of
hogs from smothering and from the
heat. A novel idea that was recently
tried out in this city seems to have
solved the difficulty Of keeping the
hogs cool. In the one case. when 1t
was tried, 1t proved eminently sue
cessful. ~
When c. II. Hicks. q tenant farmer
northeast OF this city, started to load
a shipment Of very large hogs one fore
noon recently he Yves puzzled over what
to do to keep some Of the animals from
dying while en- route to Chicago. Farm
papers recommended scattering cakes
of ice around the floor Of the car among
the hogs. or putting ice in sacks and
throwing the sacks in among the hogs.
But these plans both take up floor
space.
Hicks hit on the idea> OF supending
the ice over the hogs backs. 20 he got
half ton Of ice and. putting cakes
weighing about fifty pounds in ten or
a dozen gunny sacks. he suspended the
sacks from the roof Of the car with
wire. The sacks were hung just high
enough SO the hogs could pass under
them without touching the sacks.
The animals were loaded at 10 o'clock
in the forenoon. and that afternoon the
temperature went up to %. 1t was not
until 10 o'clock the following morning
that the hogs were unloaded at the
Union stock yards. The hogs averaged
$50 pounds. but not an animal had died.
The melting of the ice in the SACKS
dripped on the backs Of the hogs ana
kept them cool all the way. The air
that rushed into the car when 1t was
in motion was cooled to n marked de-
gree and added to the comfort OF the
animals. Those who were helping Hicks
load the hogs say that the stock car.
after the ice bags had been hung in IT,
felt very much like refrigerator car
The cost Of the experiment was 81 for
| the ice and some labor in hanging the
sacks.

case. be criminal. Even Jesus did no,
do that, but he went out and tauShf
those who were willing to hear. Our
strenuous, unchristian, man-made civ.
iiization has driven thousands of Ia.
competent or unbusiness-like women
to vice, and our brothers to become
trainps, and 1t Is our duty to assist
those without dragging ourselves and
them beneath the waves.
l think, as Commissioner Gillespie
does, that very few OF these women
want to be reformed. But IL Is our
duty to forbid vice In our city and
then be ready to help, lovingly but
wisely, those who wish to reform. I
think at present that there Is abso-
lutely no chance Of reclamation FOR
fallen women In our city; that Is,
there Is no material hope, and I think
there Is scarcely any hope of the de-
cent poor girl remaining decent: that
Is, II she happen to get seriously sick,
injured or gets the ill.Will Of her en-
plOyer for any reason, just or unjust.
The only hope in either case Is In
the power of God to work miracles
for their safety or reclamation. We
should earnestly strive not to drive
our sisters or brothers to evil, but we
should remember the words, "Woe
unto him by whom the offense CON-
eth"
However. as q lover OF my city and
country, | would warn our omcials
against slackness in handling this
evil, or I prophesy Wholesale confu-
sion In our land which can only be
eradicated by years OF toll and bitter
tears.

Manners and Sport

As for women. the burden Of be-
having nicely Is laid 50 heavily ON
them and at SO early an age that,
when they are grown. men are aghast
at their "insincerity." The social side
Of life is mostly carried on by wom-
en-. II is~a delicate and highly COM
plex business-thanks to our notions
OF politeness; and the average man.
watching his wife handle a situation,
is amazed at her duplicity, and all
the more because he Is quite uncon-
scious OF half the threads she has 10
weave into a seemly pattern. Men
are not polite TO each other In the
surface sense OF the word. They do
not take their hats on TO each other,
make point OF inquiring after each
others relatives, or enter into endless
explanations why they cannot accept
an invitation for fear OF somebody
thinking something he never would
think. The trouble with women Is
that the other woman might well
think 1t. To this has the science OF
politeness been brought. that two
inches, more or less, TO womans
gown will make all the difference be-
tween her being rude to her hostess
by being underdressed or proclaiming
herself q vulgarian by being over
dressed. With a code like this to ma
nipulate, from which men are In great
measure free. II Is q wonder that
women ever tell the truth at all. they
are all embarked on q career OF dipio-
macy in a service that does not mat
ter. rr,-e
When they try to emancipate them-
selves, men are the first to cry out.
Sir Thomas Holdich is upset because
the athletic girl has not the same
