"Day or night?" inquired the ma

which had been shining continually

Mr.. Finnie explained that the long

away from the natives all sense OF

hungry and, rep when they want to

HAS NO JAILs OR CHURCHES
Walcott, Iowa, Gets Along Withesi
Either

Davenport, Ia, Nov. 16.--There are
two institutions that Walcott, Iowa,
the richest town per capita In Iowa,
prides itself In not possessing. These
are churches and jailA
In its religious beliefs, Walc0tt Is
unique. For more than 80 years the
town has been without church. II
once had a jail, but like its only
church established o. years ago and
which existed but few years, 1t was
put in the discard. While the Jail
building still stands, there is NO vest
age of a church edifice. But there are
no locks to the Jail and Its hinges
have rotted of. It is never used.
1--WE are free thinkers and believe
In free American citizenship seven
days q week. We do not, need preach
ers to dictate to us. We are better
of without them" states Mayor
Strohbeen in, expressing. Walcott's
lack Of churches.
Mayor Strohbeen states that while
any denomination has the privilege of
a church In. Walcott, the
people simply will not patr0nize them.
They would have empty pews and
empty collection baskets every Sun
day.
