LOCAL COMMENT


Newton has no hospital hence the
commercial club of that town is al
work on a plan for raising money for
a hospital in Newton. They appreciate
the need The time will come when
hospitals in county seat towns will be
considered as necessary as court houses
or poor farms in the country. We
ought to be voting bonds for 100000
hospitals in our various counties to be
paid from general taxes hut in the alb
sence of that much enlightenment we
must resort to gratuities. Everybody
within fifty miles is near enough to a
big hospital for treatment. When Mr..
and Mrs. Boardman had their terrible
accident near Hampton it was the care
they received in a Hampton hospital
that saved their lives. Many family
thirty or forty miles away owe the hos
ptal in Marshalltown for a life saved
within their family. And ii Will always
be so for the hospital is fire proof and
long lived. 1t is here to stay.
All over town ana turnout the coun-
tryside there are people who have felt
a desire to give but are in need of Ger
tain information to satisfy themselves
that everything is all right. Why not
telephone Mr.. Abbott, the chairman,
and ask for someone to come and see
them? There are a hundred men or
more now who know. Some of them
will glady call even out into the coun-
try. Let's make this everybody's hos
pital and increase it's ability to render
free service to those who are in need.
As the Christmas approaches the
Goodfellows Club should be revived. As
a matter OF fact il should be at work
the year around but at Christmas, at
least. ii should be revived. At Water
loo the work of the Goodfellows Club
is in progress now.
For the past ten days everybody IN
! this part of the state has appreciated
what an asset good roads are to every
mans business. The streets in Mar
sha lltown are not large enough to hold
the farmers cars while their owners
are busy in town. The court yard is
county property and our farmers have
a right TO demand automobile parking
space there. The plan for planting this
ward prepared by Mr.. Rubee provides
for making the circular drive in the
rear of the court house wide enough to
accommodate cars. This can be done
with cinders at very little expense. If
it is not done the city council should
order the parking on the south side
of the court house square paved and
assessed to the county's property.
