Comparison of
Building With
Pasadena, Cal.

That Marshalltown grew more In
building way, in proportion to her size
and population than did Pasadena, Cal,
justly famed as the playground and
winter resort for Iowans and Others
who got theirs out of Iowa land,
steers, hogs, corn and other staples, Is
shown by the summaries of building
done there and here In 1916.
In this city were built 131 houses,
costing $685. 400, and the total invested
here in building improvements of all
kinds in the year was $S1S,1S9. Pasa-
dena is three times as large, in popu-
lation, as this city. In it were built
256 houses, less than twice as many as
We're built here, and the total invested
in all building operations there in the
year was s1,624,492, again less than
twice as much as was invested here.
Here only a very few of the houses
cost as little as $500 or less. In Pasa-
dena a great many of them were built
summary published in the Pasadena
Star from which the statistics
We're taken.
A copy of it has been sent by ID. w.
Norris editor of the T.-R, who points
out the comparison between lue tWo
WHY'S improvements:
Here is an Improvement edition for
the sake of comparison. Pasadena is
about three times as large as Marshall
town and built 256 new residences, Of
a total value of s1.624,492. You will
notice quite a list of residences cost
ing from SIC, 900 to s5S,000. for this is a
nations playground and is the winter
home for wealthy people from almost
every state. But a careful reading of
the whole page will disclose long list
of structures, claSsed as residences, and
costing under $1,000. They are the
typical California bungalaw so small
in many instances as to seem doll
like but still they are used for resi-
dence purposes and are always modern
and artistic. We can scarcely build a
cottage for wage workers under $1,000,
but out here they make them small
enough TO come under $1,000, and call
them residences because the peopl.
who occupy them often are able to at
ford real residences back home where
they got their start"

gin birth. We neod pentecostal type
Of revival. which will get down to bed
rock.
To-day we are prospecting the
promised land in Marshalltown. On
every corner we find the devil running
pell nell, and good portion Of the
church trying to get on his band
wagon. Marshalltown Is at her ex-
tremlty today. What will you chris
tians do? Will you put on the whole
armor Of God?
THE soul in sinful sleep will surely
die. A lot of you folks want to take
the easiest course. Doing our best for
God may be a hard path, but 1t is the
only one that leads to heaven.
THANK God for the hard things you
have to do. Some Of you are standing
at the crossroads today. Shall you
continue to hoard wealth or turn to the
kingdom of God? Remember you can't
bum your way into heaven. You can't
buy it with money, land corn, or hogs.
You must give yourself"

BOYS ENJOY BOB RIDE.
sixty-Fiv Boys Take Ride and Have
Supper at "Y."

Supper at "Y."
Sixty five boys of the local Y. NJ. c.
A. enjoyed a bob ride Thursday even
ing, when two big bob sleds full of
boys drove for two hours about the
city and country. More boys signed up
for the ride at the last minute than
those in charge had counted on, with
the result that some Of the boys got
plenty of exercise by running along by
the side of the hobs. However, most OF
the occupants seemed to prefer
change Of location frequently, so that
no one suffered from want of riding or
running.
About $3.50 the boys returned to the
Y. NJ C. A, where an oyster supper
was served. This is the first Of a Sc
ries Of bob rides which E. E. Mickle-
wright, BOYS work secretary, is plan
ming for the boys this winter This is
new feature for the Y. NJ. G. A, and
Thursday nights ride proved great
success. Mr. Micklewright was assist
ed during the evening by Charles
Rrennecke and Glenn and Lloyd Miller.
