When sale OF pure-bred cattle in
Marshalltown can attract buyers who
are willing to pay Sl26.3T5 for forty
head. or an average Of 33160, the
possibilities OF this city as 4 live
stock sale center loom up forcfoly.
When these possibilities are realized
fully. and energies are bent on pro-
viding a first class sale pavilion, Just
that much sooner will Marshalltown
come into her own a. an up-to-date
market for fancy 1.-Two stock The
stock is here, and for sale. Why not
an ideal sale ring under cover, avail
able each month in the Year,
Thru the news IL ia related that the
county board Of supervisors ana the
city council have dwelt together In
unity; have met ono another as in
dlviduals. as men working toward the
interests of tho community as a
east and west end or north or south
side anxious to cut one another's
throat In order to gain some point Of
vantage. The Times Republican has
felt all along that the present board
OF supervisors would be willing to
meet the council half way on all the
problems that come up In which both
city and county arc interested. The
newspaper felt that way when the
city hall project was proposed by the
city. There Is no good reason why
the two governing bodies should not
work harmoniously. Squabbling and
and tho people have to foot the bills
regardless Of which wins.
Club women OF the city have COM
planned Of the character of movies
shown here. They have insisted that
the movies should be made clean.
Recently the filmed version Of
"Huckleberry Finn" was brought
here. Like the book, 1t is intended
to attract children as well a. grown
ups. In order that parents and
teachers might be sure that the film
had no Objectionable features IN It
that children should not see, tho
movie manager gave . private free
showing Of tho film. to which he In
vited especially presidents Of all the
women's clubs, whose names he
could SET and school teachera The
one club president who attended was
quite sure she was the only ono
there Altogether there were about
thirty present. May not the man
ager Of that movie house Do justified
in believing that club women have
been only talking, ana that they
have no serious desire or real inter-
est In knowing whether films are
clean and ut for children Of the city
to see after such an expertsncsr

Tho City Federation of women's
Clubs has written the Times Repub-
lican expressing it, keen appreciation
Of the newspapers generosity in
giving Us publicity for tho things We
wished to place before tho public
during the past year." II IL with q
great degree Of satisfaction that tho
newspaper receives the kind words
from tho federation, yet the news
paper has done no moro for Il than
1t does. and IL doing every day. for
any other worthy public enterprise.
The publicity for community better
ment 10 extended always willingly,
and with the desire to prove helpful
to the community. Tho satisfaction
that comes to tho newspaper IL the
appreciation Of its efforts. Too often
kindnesses shown by newspapers to
public enterprises arc taken a. q
matter OF course by those interested
in their promotion, hence when ap-
probation IL expressed ths newspa.
per feels well repaid for all that it
has tried to do.
MANY SIGN WAIVERS.
