beans each on their patches, which
they planted along a railroad right-of-
way. Nearly 500 pounds were harvest
ed in ALL They were small boys, too,

Lynn, who reported the facts to the
horticultural men at Iowa State col

mated on Saturday. Nov. IT, and Fort
Madison now has but one newspaper,

the town, for under the present prices
of everything entering into the con-
struction of a newspaper, a city of ten
or fifteen thousand inhabitants, or
even larger, cannot give two daily
papers the support they are entitled
to, and one good paper on paying
basis can do more for the upbuilding
of city than half dozen simply
eking out an existence.
