You can almost see the corn grow
in Nauyoo's vicinity now.
Fishing parties are quite numerous
on Lake Keokuk at Nauyoo points
these days and they are making some
fine catches, too.
Nauyoo has the reputation of being
a pretty warm town certain parts OF
the day during the past week.
We don't hear anything of the night
blooming cereus in Nauyoo any more.
Are they extinct?
The view across the big Lake Keo-
kuk, as it has been officially named,

Some day when the novelty of
automobiles wears off and Nauyoo
gets accustomed to them, our coun-
Gil probably will conclude that the
unnecessary rumpus they make
should be stopped. There are only
about fifty-fiye cars here, that is II
you can call Ford car. Some Of
the good people who own them seem
to enjoy making them sound like a
hardware store clipping with pea
nut rooster. There is nothing you
can tell quicker than stranger jay
chauffeur when he comes to Nauyoo.
The more hullabaloo he makes, the
bigger jay he is. 1t is hoped Maui
voo's city council members will con-
slider the comfort of our citizens and
pass an ordinance to stop the IN
necessary noise made by the auto
owners, and do it soon.
