Il VIM. Hertenstein. who was nominal
ed for mayor on the democratic ticke'
lat the primary election in Nauvoo or
Tuesday of last week, respectfully de
iclines to serve in that official capacity
!, and is thankful to his numerous
friends in the Mormon city to thrust

llitfon Of his.
Government statistics show that the
advance of wages in the rural districts
has been much more rapid than in the
city the past year or two and that the
rural laborer has the advantage OF o
relatively low cost of living. This Is
true in Nauvoo and vicinity.

gasoline tank with pump attachment in
| front OF his garage for the accommo-
dalton of the travelling public in
autos.
| In conversation with fishermen in
Nauvoo they inform this column that
they are getting things ready for the
seasons work, but it will be few

are made at this point.
The NauvOo library board has an
nounced market day sale to take
lplace Saturday, March 81. in the rooms
lof this institution, the proceeds to be
used for the library's benefit
| Two sisters in nearby town were
about to open restaurant in Natyoo
this spring. Then they considered a
proposition to conduct a moving pic
ture show Finally they abandoned
both of these projects and leased
forty acres of land near their home
town They intend to put In corn
crop and other products and do all the
work. Two wise lassies.

state of our dimensions that leads
Nauvoo and vicinity in crop values.
That's the kind of a safe and sane
preparedness we are.
When the high winds stop the regu-
lar mails from coming across the lake
at Nauyoo for several days in one week
| 1t seems to indicate that Nauvoo peo-
pie are quite as ferocfous as the war
officials. During these days the lake
rolled waves almost as high as those
on the ocean and the mails had to
be brought up from Keokuk on several
occasions and the outgoing as well as
| the incoming mails are irregular. That
sure shot interurban line for 1917 to
+ pass through Nauvoo will remedy all
this. But construction work is slow
to begin, don't you think so. neighbor? ?
There will be many flat-foots In Maui
VOC caused by standing in the Nauvoo
I interurban line coaches on account OF
their being crowded as soon as the
cars begin running. But what will the
company do II Nauvoo people won't
hang by the straps?
The fish dinner served by the M. e.
church ladies on Friday Of last week
in Nauvoo was we'll attended and the
sum cleared was fair one. The
ladies were somewhat disappointed In
being unable to secure enough OF Maui
VOC lake fish to supply the guests, but
the shortage was made up OF many
lother tempting dishes that satisfied
the inner man.
Frank Kerl is out among Nauvoo
voters asking their support to place
him in the council chambers as mayor
of the city. He Is running on the In
dependent ticket.
Health has not been so very good II
Nauvoo for several months past. u
it continues 30 this spring we migh'
say what Nauvoo may need is q little
agitation in the matter of better drain
age Not knowing the exact situation
the suggestion is only intended as 9
very mild one.
Some few fellows poke run" at the
county farm adviser Idea. They cite
some OF the most successful farmers
in Nauvoo's vicinity and ridicule the
suggestion that farm adviser couic
tell such farmers how to run theil
farms or feed or breed their stock sc
as to make more money. 1t fs PROD
ably true that some successful farm
ers near Nauvoo can continue to make
money as they have in the past. bu.

farmers are the very men who have
had good sense enough to run theil
farms along lines advised by our agrl
