Corn Show Sparks Town Talk and Corn Bond Victory
An odd fragmentary report covers a corn show with speakers like Prof Hauser and Gus Gunderson, praises of a top ear by Jowa University figures, and a public vote noted in western town circles. The piece mentions White Pearl corn from Robt Peters, a 1000 bushels claim on two acres, and a long jury argument in a county case.

Fayette County Supervisors Vote on Court House Fund and Plans
The Fayette County board of supervisors last week passed a resolution creating a two million dollar court house fund for erecting an 8 bay structure on the original site. They allocated 106000 from West Union donors, 26000 insurance for the old court house, and 10000 from the general fund. Plans by architect J G Ralston of Waterloo will not be ready before March 1, delaying contract letting. They authorized 66900 in primary trend certificates in anticipation of 141414 federal aid, and provided 20000 funding bonds. Two road contracts were extended, and the board withdrew its subsidy for graveling township winds at county expense. Deputy appointments include F C Robinson and W L Merif, L J Fisk as clerk, Winst on deputy sheriff, and W K Humph as board chairman.
