SCARLET FEVER UNDER CONTROL

Schools Re-open in Glenwood and Malvern-Two New Cases

The scarlet fever situation in Glenwood and Malvern has cleared up to an extent that warranted the re-opening of the schools this (Monday) morning. Other public gatherings are also being permitted. All the old cases in both places are practically recovered. There are, however, two new cases in the West Liberty neighborhood just north of Glenwood, and there is naturally some apprehension left there may be some spread of the disease there. These are a boy and girl in the Frank Buffington family-Franklin and Istrene. It is thought they must have contracted the disease in their local school, and the school has been closed to wait developments in the case of other pupils thus exposed.

TRADES FARM FOR RESIDENCE

Mr. and Mrs. J.W. Wedmore are in Council Bluffs today (Monday) completing a deal whereby they exchange their farm in Pony Creek neighborhood for a residence property in Council Bluffs, located at 3407 Ave. C. Possession of both properties will be given in the near future. Mr. Wedmore will hold a sale and soon after move to their new home. The purchaser of the farm is Ernest Tallman, and he will occupy the same.

ECHO FROM ONAWA

One of the local papers at Onawa is giving an account of the Funder meetings, mentioned that “Jack” Doner held what he designated a “blowout” meeting at the Tabernacle last Monday night. One of the features of the program was, in the words of Artemus Ward, a “yumerus” song by Rev. Fred Long, and the paper said that it, like Samson of old, though not in the same way, “brought the house down.” Good for Rev. Long, but we never dreamt that he could put it over so well. We know that he is a chalk talk artist that is hard to beat.
