Gently as yard office, q new era was
begun and the old building passed out
Of use forever. The yard office, road
masters, and trainmaster's offices
were all moved into the new building
at the foot Of South First avenue, and
the Anal work Of razing the ancient
brick structure was begun.
The new yard Office has just been
completed after several months delay
on account Of shortage Of material. 1t
las separate offices upstairs for the
trainmaster and roadmaster, and
downstairs for the yardmaster, and
operators with rooms for the con-
ductors and switchmen.
Building Strictly Fireproof.
Constructed Of brick, with concrete
floors and cealings, the new office is
strictly freproof. The building Is q
two-story brick affair." situated Just
across the Northwestern and M. & st.
L. tracks at the foot Of First avenue.
The main entrance faces east. Enter

The old brick building on South
Evening times-Republican. [volume] (Marshalltown, Iowa) 1890-1923, 1916-10-17

Third avenue, which was almost COM
pletely demolished this forenoon, has
'been landmark for at least thirty
five years. The definite date as to
when it was built Is not remembered
among old employees, bur the general
opinion among old-time conductors
and trainmen Ia that 1t was constructed
during the years 1S79-lSSo.
f. H. Mack declares he worked on
the plumbing in the building in 1881,
hut others say that the structure was
already completed at the time OF the
food in June, 1881. No date OF any
kind can be found in the building it
self. which has been in the process OF
being demolished for some time. The
removal Of the yard office gave the
wreckers free rein, and only few
walls remain standing now. For the
past three years the north side OF the
building had been used as the yard !
masters office. The freight office was
moved in January of this year, and
since that time the yard office and the
roadmaster's office upstairs have been
in the old building.
To Lay New Tracks.
With the removal OF tne oio hrtSh
building the plans for the improved
and enlarged yards of the NJ. & st. l.
will be pushed forward as rapidly as
possible. All the space formerly oc'
cupied by the freight house will DC
covered with switching and side
tracks. Two work trains are beins

nue.. 1t will he some time, however
according to Roadmaster Quincy, who
has this work in charge, before the

Several other improvements have
just been installed in the round house
Including a new ninety-foot turn table
which can take care OF the new en-
Eines The old turn table was toe
small to handle the big freight engines
recently purchased. Three new round
house pits have also been constructed
Nor these same engines. Contractor
John Jacobson has had charge of all
the improvements, including the con-
struction of the new yard office. and
the razing Of the old freight house.

Farmers Begin to
Gather Corn Crop

In practically all parts Of the county
the corn picking will begin before the
week is over, or was begun Monday.
This date for the commencement Of
the harvest is at about the average
time for this section of the state. or
little earlier than the average. A
great deal of the corn has ripened well
and is dry. Especially Is this true OF
the paintings Of late April or early in
May The later paintings, and espec-
tally the replantings that were not in
the ground until late in May or early
in June, are not yet so we'll dried out
as the crop that was planted earlier.
The generally bright, dry weather of
the last month has been ideal for dry
ing out the ears.
The crop in this county will be gen.
orally good, and a great many farmers
are expecting yield of sixty or more
bushels to the acre. The prevailing
price for picking seems to be cents a

NEW DECATUR BANK ! IS BROKEN INTO
Robbers Secured Only .$l3 in Money and Stamps From Central
 National Bank

New Decatur, January 16.-(Specal) Batterng through a rear door that was unprotected by iron bars, thieves last night entered the Central National bank here and secured money and stamps to the value of SIP or $13. according to the statement Of Cashier T. A. Bowles, who discovered the robbery shortly after s o'clock this morning. when he went to the bank to read his max.
 The haul consisted of two three dol lars in currency, including some slick quarters and bad pennies that had been stored in a box in a writing desk; 50 cents in 1-cent stamps aud $10 worth of reve- nue stamps. The work was evidently that of amateurs as no attempt was made to blow the big safe. No clew as to the identity of the robers has been obtained

ADJUSTMENTS
"The Hawk"


 William Favershams crowded, de lighted and feminine matinee audience was to me the most comforting sight of the season. It seemed to indicate that g good actor is not of necessity a windlassed photograph. It betoken a human interest in the human theatre on the part of those who door used to-support the ancient institution. The play, The Hawk. was crook and drug play. It's hero and heroine were card cheats; in the last act he openly employed the needle of his addiction. Not you would say from this brief and imperfect description a play cal culated to draw in such fond numbers mamma and the girl. For did not Rich ard Bennett only a fortnight since de- clare that the crook and drug play at tracted mostly. men, and that no actor could fully express himself without the and constructive attention of women. And, I take it, the ladies are gratified to find their favorite form of fiction once again uttered in decent English and environed far from the haunts of the common or sewer under MT.

GERMAN FOREIGN TRADE

A letter received day or two ago from Faron de Estournelles d widely known in the United States as one of the high authorities who before the war supported the world peace propaganda contains an allusion to the relation which the allies and other governments should maintain toward Germany after peace is come. He is one of those who believe that it is essential to the prosperity of other nations that every encouragement be given to Germany so that she can re- cover her lost foreign trade.
 The baron says that this is as essen- tia for other nations as 1t is for Ger many and he feels assured that the United States will be ready and willing, if for no other reason than the recovery of our trade, to aid Germany if that be necessary in rebuilding her industries. The proposition that England and the other allies repress German trade, extin- guish it if possible, is not regarded here as permanent proposition, but only as a war measure. Even England cannot in the long run flourish unless her trade and commercial relations with Germany and Austria are restored
