Hoboes R,l,, AUay
From S,,o,v Shove1s

Michael Clark, overseer OF the poor,
in charge of three hoboes who were In
Jail for vagrancy. started out early
Monday to clean the walks of the court
house square. The overseer Of the poor
finished the Job himself. During the
time between the start and the finish
two of the tramps ran away, and
third one was discharged from the job
few minutes after setting one OF
the hoboes to work clearing a walk at
the southeast corner Of the square, the
overseer of the poor looked to see If the
tramp was still at work. The worker
had disappeared. His shovel was found
leaning against tree.
Another one of the trio Of shovelers
disappeared off the job while the over
seer visited a tobacco store to buy his
workers some tobacco. Clark told the
third one, who seemed inclined to stick
until the job was finished, that he could
go before all the walks were cleaned.

GIVE THAT PUNY CHILD
this GUARANTEED REMEDY

If your child is under weight, listIess
ailing, liable to get sick easily, it needs
medicine to build its weight and
strength. For this purpose there is
nothing else we know of that we can
so strongly endorse as KexalI Olive Oil
Emulsion. The remarkable success of
this splendid medicine is due TO the
fact that it contains ingredients that
tone the nerves, enrich the blood and
furnish to the entire system the
strength. weight and health building
substances it needs. And, 1t does all
this without injuring the. stomach. In
fact, Rexall Olive Oil Emulsion is not
only pleasant to take but even the
most sensitive stomach is benefited by
it, and the digestion improved. On the
other hand, it contains no alcohol or
habit forming drugs. which most par
ents object to giving to their children.
1t does Its good work by taking hold
of the weakness and builds the body
up to it's natural strength. at the same
time making it strong to resist dis
ease. ~
II Rexall Olive On Emulsion doesn't
build your child up, feed the stunted,
puny muscles, and make the little one
lively, strong, well, and full OF the AMI
NAL spirits children are meant by ma
ture to have, come back and tell us and
get your money back. We don't want
you to lose a cent. We think this is
no more than fair, and 1t leaves you no
cause to hesitate. For old people also
for convalescents-for all who are
nervous, tired out, rundown. no mat
ter what the cause-we offer Rexail
Olive Oil Emulsion with the same
guarantee Of entire satisfaction OF
money back. Sold only at the 1000

SURE PROFIT FOR FARMERS.
Analysis OF What Can Be Done on
Small Acreage Locality.

Analysis Of What Can Be Oono on
Small Acreage Locality.
The way to make high priced land
bring a profitable return, Is to raise
canning produce. The possibilities to
be realized from growing truck crops
are very great. Ask those who have
made a speciality of growing these
crops.
The man who has ten or twenty
acres can be independent Of all labor
questions. We offer to consume such
variety of crops that he can handle
each in their turn without additional
outside labor. The planting and culti-
vation of corn comes first, then fol-
lowed by the setting and cultivation or
tomatoes. After both of these crops
are we'll under way. cabbage setting
begins. In the harvesting OF these
crops corn comes first followed with
tomatoes and then later with cabbage.
Anyone with twenty acres could profit-
ably grow the following crops as out
lined:
Ten acres of corn.
Ten acres of pumpkins in corn.
Five acres Of cabbage.
Five acres Of tomatoes.
The returns to be expected would be
as follows:
So tons of corn at $500 per ton. s245.oo
25 tons pumpkin at $3.50 per ton $3.50
40 tons cabbage at $500 per ton $4,000
30 tons tomatoes at 10 per ton 10000

| Marshalltown will be the eighth city
/ in the Central Baseball Association,
/ succeeding Kewanee. With the annual
/ meeting of the association only two
! days away, it is generally conceded
over the circuit that the admission Of
Marshalltown will be but mere mat
ter of form. The newspapers over he
Central circuit have announced this
city as the eighth club, and the only
objection that is heard is from Rock
raise $4,000 before Thursday.
Rock Island, however is out of the
running, the Farrell decision having
settled the question of the Islanders
rights to claim berth in the league.
The only chance the Illinois town new
! has for recognition is to gain perlnis-
/ sion of Davenport to maintain team.
Farrell Decision Reversed.
The Farrell decision came in q mes
sage to President Justice, and was as
follows:
Auburn, n. Y, Feb. H.
NJ. E. Justice, keokuk, Iowa.--F'ive
mile limit prohibits in city in which
franchise is operated. All three, Dav
export. Rock Island, and Moline, might
have clubs if agreeable to all and no
objections offered,
j. H. FARRELL
Secretary National Association.
1t is known that the Three-I League
Will not consent to either Rock Island
or Moline entering the Central Associ-
alton. and Al Tearney, president of the
Three-1. has said as much repeatedly.
Rock Island or Moline could carry the
questions to the courts, but such liti
cation would take year or more, and
precludes any possibility Of either city
breaking into the league this year.
Local Delegation Increased.
A meeting Of the directors of the To-
cal association was held in the Mar
shalltown Club rooms Monday evening
when arrangements were made for the
Burlington meeting on Thursday. 1t
was originally intended that but three
Of the six delegates chosen should at
tend the meeting, but the al.ernates de-
ctded 10 go also, and several ether fans
nave expressed their intention of ac-
companying the delegation 10 the meet
ing. 1t is possible that nine or ten will
ne AZ dlleIluancS 10 boost Tor this city.
Provision has been made for the
funds necessary for the purchase Of the
franchise and the guarantee fund, and
President Wilbur will carry with him
the s1,1o0 necessary to secure the ad-
mission of Marshalltown to the league.
Rock Island After Funds.
Stock in the Rock Island baseball
club for 1914 was placed on sale Mon
Cay morning. The shares sell at the
same price of the old Three-I League
stock, namely 800 each. The can
vassers hope to dispose Of twenty five
shares This will mean $4,000 for
team, which is considered sufficient to
start the season.
What effect the Farrell decision has
had on the sale of stock at Rock Is
land is not known, as that city has been
silent on the subject since the message
to President Justice was made public.
President Wilbur is in receipt Of a
Letter from Manager E. F. Egan, Of the
Ottumwa club, asking for practice
games with the Marshalltown club in
this city, April 10, 20 and 81. This COM
munication would indicate that Egan
! is satisfied in his own mind that Mar
shalltown is to be admitted TO MEM

Farmers Promise Support.

The most hopeful indication of sue
cess in this city has been TIE kindly
support of the farmers and residents
of neighboring towns. Three farmers
attached their names to the s25 list,
which now numbers ninety three sub
scribers and others have promised SUD-
port.
State Center fans have asked that at
least part of the games be started at
1880 instead of 3 o'clock that they
might come to the city at 3:11 to at
tend the games. Conrad residents have
been incensed by the action of Water
loo in trying to prevent "us from hav-
ing a ball team"
The objection has been made that
Marshalltown was too small for organ
lied baseball, but when it is taken into
consideration that all of Marshall
county and portions Of Tama, Hardin
Story, Grundy, and Jasper counties
claim an interest in the team, the Mar
shalltown club represents nearly 100 :
900 people, total which any team in
the association would find difficult to
equal.
Ticket Sale Wednesday.
The sale Of tickets for "The Feurt.
Dimension" to be presented. next Mon
day evening for the benefasof the base
ball club, will be launched Wednesday
! Reservation may be made at the Odeor
