Our Muscatine contemporary is riled because our citizens are
making an effort to secure a hospital here.
Not having the public spirit to claim anything of the kind for their
village, they feel indignant that anybody else should move in the matter. We are sorry they feel so bad, and hope as
Muscatine has sent so many boys to the war her citizens may at least establish
a private infirmary.
