Miss Quaifs,s Suggestion.

II has often occurred to me that the
counsel OF some intelligent woman as
a member of the board Of education in
MarshaltoWn would not be a mistake,
and / am more impressed with this
idea each time hear an Interested
mother offer the suggestion. Not for
a moment Is this hint offered as re-
Election on the present members; they
are discharging their duties faithfully
and we'll and are aiming towards MAX
ing these schools the very best posi-
BILE but there are instances which arise
in school problems where woman
judgment might be quite valuable; foI
instance, I do not think that II a woman
had been a member Of the board OF
education when the plans for the pres
ent high school building were con-
sidered, 1t would have ever reached
| the height OF five stories. this is only
one of several instances wherein a wo-
man might nave been instrumental ir
helping advise for the health at leas

terrible risk to try this plan SOM
time; for there is a large number o
capable women in Marshalltown VIII

IT OCCURRED TO THE TOURIST.

A tourist writing to a friend from
Pasadena, Cal, where he and his fam
iIy are residing for the winter was
much impressed with the beauty and
extent of the Busch home in that city.
1t comprises thirty acres fronting on
Millionaire Row covered with flower
beds and rare plants. The rubberneck
wagons all stop there. The tourist es-
Inmates judging from prices being paid
for property in that city that the Busch
winter home is worth at least $3.50, 800.
1t set him thinking. The Busch place
is of course as every one understands
of the poor by that multimillionaire
who put the Busch in Anheuser.
1t set the tourist thinking. He re-
called the recent coming out party OF
Miss Hazel Busch, the debutante OF the
million dollar ball given to 500 guests
whereat 1900 roses of one kind at 81
q dozen were provided and 1000 of an
other kind at S., where the supper
cost over $4,000 and breakfast after the
dancing $1,000, where Miss Busch, the
tenderly nurtured daughter Of the
brewer, carried a bouquet Of rare or
chids brought by q special messenger
from New York and where the expendi-
| ture OF money was absolutely unre-
strained by prudence or good taste.
so it set the tourist thinking. He is
one of those men who knows where his
| income comes from and who knows
precisely where it goes and for what
and his conclusion was that practically
all this came and comes out OF the pay
check that Is cashed at the saloon.
The fellow who, as BILLY" Sunday
put 1t, looks at his God thru the bottom
of a beer mug ought to be able to see
Miss Busch's $4,000 breakfast and the
$3.50, 900 home here which is Of so little
interest to the elder Mrs. Busch thai
she prefers to stay in Germany. The
sons employ a trainer to keep the gou
from the door.

THE HOBO CROP.

1t is an absolute fact shat there are
more "hoboes" hitting the trail this
winter: more of them have been in
Ackley than in any previous year DUR
ing the past twenty. or even in the
memory of the oldest inhabitant. The
worthy unemployed are obliged to bear
the brunt with the undescrving: many
well disposed and sympathiZing people
who have not been in the habit of
turning men away from their door
when a request for something to eat
has been made. have been obliged to
refuse. Some of the professional buns
have their overcoats chuck full of eats.
+, and still they go from one back door to
| another. asking for coffee and some
thing to eat. 1t has become big null
