An interviewer recently asked
Forbes Robertson. who makes his
farewell appearance at the Playhouse
Friday and Saturday matinee and
night. May 14-15 about his title.
Robertson. according TO the
interviewer, seemed unwilling TO dis
cuss Il as he is not the man to pa
rade his title for commercial gain. He
commented on the somewhat reckless
generosity with which many Ameri-
cans accept all foreign titles as more
or less Interchangeable and explain
ed that his Sir" is not of a knight
and not of a baronet If it were a
baronet. it would be inherited by his
son, had he one. AS a matter of fact.
the title of baronet has never been
conferred upon an actor. Henry
Irving was the first in his calling to
receive the hOnors of knighthood and
Forbes Robertson tells how. when
the press men asked Irving how to
address him during his last New
York engagement. Irving replied:

Culverts il, Road
Being Heightened

An Improvement In the Lincoln high
way east of this city that is adding
much to both the appearance and the
serviceability Of the road, consists OF
the frightening Of all of the short Gull
verts between this city and LeGrand,
These culverts, which were only six
teen feet long, are being all heightened
to thirty-two feet.
AS soon as length has been added to
the culverts so that they extend under
the whole width OF the roadway, the
roadway is being graded and filled out
to the entire width of the culvert This
gives the road at all the culverts a
width of thirty two feet instead of six
teen feet. So long as these old short
culverts were in place the road had to
remain narrow at each one of them.
Now that the culverts have been
the road presents uniform
width of about thirty feet.
Most of the culverts have been
and the roadway graded
above them between this city and Le-
Grand already, and Supervisor w. II.

stretch of road. and under whose direc-
ton the work is being done. hopes to
have it all finished before II. c. Oster-

WHY NOT SIX PER CENT?

Money in Savings and Loan Assoeia.
ton 10 Secured by First Mortgages.
Can you beat per cent on first
mortgage security backed by new
houses in Marshalltown worth twice
the amount of your loan? You can't
do it. In fact you can't find loan
as good as that without paying some
body commission and then the
chances are that the loan will not fit
the size of your pile.
Put your money in the Marshalltown
Savings and Loan Association for one
year in amounts of 800 or multiples
thereof and it will earn per cent. on
first mortgage security without COM
missions or work on your part. When
the year is up take your money or in
vest it again.
The association will loan it on first
mortgages on houses and lots in Mar
shalltoWn as required by law. A board
of nine directors will approve the loan
and every officer of the association
who handles money is under bonds filed
with the state auditor at Des Moines.
The Marshalltown Savings and Loan
is earning more than per
cent for its installment shareholders
most of whom are also borrowers but
it can use investors money at per
cent and reloan it at a profit to its
shareholders. George F. Thayer. sec

he ran to and fro gathering his be-
loved duets.
Tired, stified by the heat, the source
Of which he could not understand, he
sat down at the edge of the road. And
now there was a new sound in the air
not the deadly roar of the cannon
that had Numbered for two whole
days, not the rush of flame, but q
steady, rhythmic throb that, with ev-
cry instant, grew nearer and louder.
Bibi's mind, already confused by the
difficult breaths he drew, could not
tell at first whether it was the feet of
men or horses that he heard. He
stood up, tottering a little, but still
clutching in his hands his bluets.
Then he saw, rushing down upor
him, horses, more horses than in ali
his life he had ever seen and, mounted
on them, men, different from any mel.
that he had ever beheld. Did he look
for the tricolor? Did he know that
only under the tricolor might friends
be found? High above his yellow head
he held the duets.
Perhaps it was only fate, perhaps it
was the God to whom the grandmere' 8
prayers were rising, but the man who
saw the baby hands and the blue corn
flowers was the man of war. A sud-
den word and there was sudden halt
of all the pounding hoofs. Bending
down from his horse, the man of war
took the blossoms. and on his lips was
word the childish ears had never
heard spoken in tongue he could not
understand: 'Kaiserblumen!"
"Honneur, Patrie, Gloire." The va
liant words rested curiously upon the
baby lips, but in an instant the intel
lect before which the entire world was
trembling understood. Honor-Glory-
Fatherland-t,ss same in every heart
for which every man must lay down
his life, whatever helpless atom he
might leave behind him.
There were orders quick and clear
and then the pounding hoofs passed
on, but around the fields of Mere

posed of the flower of the army, the

to obey, whether it might be a phalanx

Their Great Scheme.

A local couple. recently married, hit
upon a scheme for saving what they
figured was just about right Each
month they would save certain sum
each day. The first day one cent. the
second day two cents. third four cents
Each day the amount was to be doubled
until the end of 80 days. BY that time
they would have tidy sum laid away
Before starting the husband fig
ured out just how much would be ac-
cumulated in this way. After labori-
Gus work he found the amount to be
something like $5,300,000. so after con-
sidering the matter they decided that
one dollar week would be about
their speed Telegram.
