Autoists approaching this burg
along the Hawkeye highway will ex-
perience much the same sensation
of travellers who pull into New York
harbor on a dark night, guided by
the uplifted torch in the hands of Lib
erty. A great white light flames from
the high tank, piercing the gloom for
many miles in all directions. Mar
shall Ed Millsap is very proud of the
light, as he it was who solicited for
the wherewithal to install it. The
present light is 1860 candle power
tungsten, but Ed says he bargained
for 500 c. p. and as soon as it can
be procured it will be placed in po-
sition. Two or three folks have been
grouching about the light, but we
have heard two or three rejoicing
about it. One chronic lodge member
was heard to remark "Hurrah for the
marshal, he has given US a light that
we can find the, keyhole in the front
door with" Can't everybody be happy
over the same thing at the same time,
anyhow, or life would lose its infinite
Il almost said INTERNALLY variety.
There is a barrel in the Enterprise
