January Breaks
Ali Local Records
LoWcst Mean Temperature and
Largest Precipitation Of Any
Month on Record.

Provided that ono had a home that
was comfortably warm. there can be
40 doubt that many so-called heatless
days would have been most welcome
during tho month of January, when
ono would not have been compelled
20 face tho bitter winds and driving
snow 20 reach ones place of business.
One would have been fortunate in be-
ing able TO say: NO use going down
town for tho Office will be closed"
For. although January, 1918, did not
prove popular month in any sense
Of the word, il has considerable claim
10 fame as having had the lowest
mean temperature and the greatest
total precipitation Of any January in
the history Of the local weather bu-
reau. The average temperature for
the month was 2S degrees and the total
precipitation ISL inches. These figures
are made more striking when one stops
- consider that there have only been
two other years since 1850 when the
mean temperature for January fell
below 90. and only three years when
the, precipitation was more than )
inches. T:vce during the month the
mercury lowered around zero being
below on tno fourth and above on
tho twcDtT-lifth.

WoELLHAF DISCHARGED.
Local Man, Captain in National Guard
Retired From Service.

Capt. Henry A. Woellhaf, of this city,
who was in command of the Burlington
company of the national guard, has
been honorably discharged from the
service, according to the following sije-
cia news dispatch from Washington to
the T.-R.:
The war department today an
nounced that Capt. Henry A. Woellhaf,
of Marshalltown, formerly with the
1880 infantry at Deming, \. NJ, had
been honorably discharged under the
law giving the president power to re-
lease those found deficient physically
or inefficient for service in France"
1t is more than probable that the
captain was discharged for physical
disability resulting from a fracture OF
the leg he suffered while in the service
last summer when he was thrown from
his horse. He had served ~ the ma
tional guard and was in service with it
on the border. After his injury, which
caused him to leave the service for y
long time, he re-entered and was COM
missioned captain of the Burlington
+ company when it's captain resigned.
Mr.. Woellhaf was formerly employed
by the Joseph Jewclry Company as D
matchmaker.

result of the present made in Ger
many" war. as his stepson. Lieut.. Will
liam H. Cheney, a member of the

that possibly DR.. Schofield would have
to abandon his western trip, but in
spite of the family's bereavement
neither Mrs. Schofield nor her husband
was willing that he give up what ap-
peared to be an opportunity for serv-
ice to the western colleges. DR.. Scho-
fields work in the west includes short
periods of lectures at Knox, Belo1t,
Grinnell, and Colorado.

DRAINAGE PROJECT.
HEARING PROBABLY WILL BE
CONTINUED TO ANOTHER DATE
Beard Likely to Invest gate Objections
Wieh View Of Overcoming Them or
Changing Route Of Channel or Area
of Proposed Distriet-Fifty Farmers
Attend-Some Oppose; Some For 1t.

! Fifty farmers and land owners. rep
resenting not more than 60 per- cent OF
those notified, appeared this forenoon
before the board of supervisors, meet
ing as a drainage board, to consider
the question OF benefits and damages
that would result from establishing the
proposed Iowa river valley drainage
project. At noon the hearing was not
nearly completed, and was continued
until afternoon with the probability
that it would be adjourned late today
to some other date
Each land owner whose property was
included by the engineer in the pro-
posed district was called on to ex-
press his views. Some objected. others
aNored the project. and many were
not there to respond.
Gist Of Objections.
The objections summarized are prac
ticaIly the same as were set out in the
written objections filed last week. They
are that the present war time is not
the time to launch such project: that
the cost will far exceed the benefits,
that the ditch as proposed will not pro-
vide anywhere nearly a sufficient wat
erway during flood period, that the dis
trict is too small considering the esti-
mated cost. and the levy against farm
land will be excessive.
These, and other objections, were
made by +. d. Dennis. of Albion, speak
ing for fifteen DIRECTORS, and by +. Is.
Howard. who objected for himself. in
addition to others However, there were
a good many present who wanted the
district established, and who pointed
out the benefits. 1t was estimated that
of those in attendance about half op
posed and half favored the project.
II was thought early in the day that
the board would very probably adjourn
the hearing to another date and make
investigation of points brought up by
directors. with a view of overcoming
the objections either by changing the
proposed route Of the channel OF
changing the area included in the pro-
posed district The state, which is in
terested at soldiers home. did not file
objections and was not represented at
the hearing.
