STATE ITEMS WHICH WILL BE or

Des Moines, Ia, March 16-The third
phone association, composed Of the in
dependent companies of the state, was
held here. The purpose of the associa-
tion is to establish uniformity among
the various local toll companies in the
state, and to connect the separate toll
lines to enable successful competition
with the Bell company In handling long
distance business. Reports by the vari-
GUS companies composing the associa-
ton showed that many. hundreds of
miles of wire has been strung in ter
ritory hitherto unconnected by tele-
phone, and that further extensions are
in prospect which will surpass past OPP
erations.
President c. r. Wells, of Boone, pre-
sided, and George F. Henry, of this
city, welcomed the delegates. 1t was
developed in the discussion that many
of the local companies do not pay ex-
penses through want of patronage, and
are compelled to use inferior equipment,
which it is the object of the state or
ganization to remedy; but the move
ment for union was opposed by some
unless they are assured of positions
under the proposed new management.

Clothespins are an American oom-
modify. Some clothespins are made in
Sweden and in Scotland, but they are
big and clumsy, twice the size Of the
American pins and whitfield out by
hand. Clothespins are made chiefly Of
beech and of maple, but some are made
of tupelo wood. They are made entirely
by machinery, counted into boxes con-
tanning 720 each by machinery, and the
boxes are nailed up by machinery. 1t
might almost be said that blocks of
wood fed to machines at one end come
ont boxed clothespins at the other. They
are made and sold wonderfully cheap.
There are two grades of clothespins,
firsts and seconds. First grade pins can
be bought for 85 cents box. The pro.
duction Of clothespins is enormous, mil
lions of boxes annually. The consump.
tion in this country keeps pace with the
growth Of the population, and great
numbers are exported. Even people in
the trade wonder what becomes Of all

A pathetic statement is narrated in
connection with Mr.. Medill's love for
the Chicago Tribune. When MIR. Kohl
saat sold his interest in the Inter Ocean
he asked Mr.. Medill to name price on
the Tribune. He finally said he would
take 100000, and to his surprise Mr..
kohlsatt called the next day and told
him he would take the paper. Mr.. Me-
dill then said: "Mr. kohlsatt, / am
alone in the world my beloved wife is
gone my daughter has passed to the
other shore, and have nothing to love
or live for but the Tribune; it connects
me with the past, and must keep it L
cannot sell it at any price," MIR. Kohl.
saatt could not meet that style of argu-
ment. He recognized that the heart of
the old veteran was in the Tribune and
the property remained his until he died.
