Another Town
Worth Visiting
Sunday Motorist Can Visit the Badio
. City of Southwest Iowa All
Paved Boute Available
Tomorrow's motor trip Into Iowa
territory suggested by the Journal
touring department includes the radio
city of the Cornhusker state Shen
andoah. Last Sunday's trip to Red
Oak permitted of returning via Shen
andoah, but more than a mere side-j
trip is required to see Snenandoan.
" Tomorrow's suggested route is via
Tabor and Sidney. Follow U. S. 34
east out of Glenwood to its juncture
with Iowa 4, turn south thru Tabor
and continue to Sidney. Take, Iowa 3
east out of Sidney, crossing the two
branches of the Nishnabotna river,
one near Sidney and the other near
"Shen." Arriving at the radio city,
one may spend several pleasant hours,
visiting KMA and KFNF as well as
the numerous well-kept city parks,
the nurseries and green houses. The
city of Shenandoah once aspired to
become a thriving manufacturing
town and gave factory sites and sub
sidies of cash and other valuable con
siderations to obtain factories. Back
in the early part of the present cen-
tury the wheels of industry hummed
as wagon and farm machinery factor
ies as well as other industries sprung
up there, attracted by bonuses, but in
time one after another failed and the
buildings were let go to ruin, while
the industry that was slowly building
irkelf up without encouragement or
subsidy on the part of Shenandoahans
was the one that was destined to put
the town on the map the nursery
and seed-house business. For years,
the Henry Field concern had been
gradually expanding, until It furnish
ed the great bulk of business done at
the Shenandoah postoff ice.' Then came
radio and its possibilities, which were
seized upon by Field as a meansof
building up his business. Next in line
was May, who migrated from Nebras
ka, but whose wife is the daughter of
a prominent Shenandoah nurseryman,
and from a small beginning he too
rapidly forged to the front, with the
advantages of radio advertising at
his command.
Leaving Shenandoah, go north over
Iowa 48, past the fair grounds, thru
Essex, to Red Oak. For those who
failed to make the Red Oak trip last
ivsiir a vrv nlpasant hour mav be
spent viewing the sights pf this beau
tiful mtl ritv Tast week we stated

tween Essex and Ked uaK, dui were

continuous paved road from Shenan
doah to Red Oak. Come west out of
Red Oak on U. S. 34 to Glenwood, a
distance of 31 miles, and on home
over Iowa-Nebraska 134.
-Next 'week a trip to some of the
smaller Iowa towns of great beauty,
located not so very far from home
will be outlined for Journal readers
who crave new towns and new scen

If Holt and Boyd counties, which
were separated by legislative enact
ment forty year3 ago by the creation
of Boyd county, now desire to con
solidate they will have to wait for
an act of the legislature, in the opin
ion of Attorney fieneral Sorensen.
The enactment of the legislature for
that purpose would have to provide
for consolidation only after the elec
tors of each county had approved
such consolidation by a mnjority
vote, says the attorney general. He
finds no statute authorizing consoli
dation of counties but finds that the
constitution says:
"Nor shall any county,,be add
ed to an adjoining county without
submitting the question to the quali
fied voters of each county voting
thereon."
The opinion was given in answer
to questions by County Attorney
Julius D. Cronin, county attorney of
Holt county who stated that he could
find no statute but that representa
tives of taxpayers' leagues had start
ed agitation for consolidation for the
purpose of reducing county expenses
and had inquired about the neces
sary procedure.
