THE RETAIL GROCERS
Executive Committee to Meet In
Des Moines December 3.
MANY DETAILS TO ARRANGE FOR
Will Fix Date for the Holding of the
Next Convention and Pure Food
Show--Will Talk Over Legislation
for an Exemption Bill.

The executive committee of the Re
tail Grocers' association of Iowa will
hold a meeting in Des Moines Decem-
Der 3 for the purpose of making pre-
liminary arrangements for a number
of matters that the association eX-
poets to take up this winter. At pres
ent this city has no active members in
the Grocers' association, although up
to within a short time ago, Charles
Halberg and Herman Bremhorst were.
members of the association and attend
ed all its meetings. Nearly every city
in the vicinity of Ottumwa has active
members and they are all working to-
gether in an effort to benefit them
selves.
A Place of Meeting.
1t is expected that the coming meeting
of the executive committee will have
as it's principal object the selection of
a place for the holding OF the next
convention and pure food show, which
is set for some time next April or
May. Another matter of Importance
to every retail grocer and every re-
tail merchant in this state, to come
before the meeting is the subject of
legislation.
Want Exemption Law.
For some years past the retail groc-
/ ers have tried to have an exemption
law passed by the Iowa legislature
that WOULD enable them to collect
bad bills from all chronic bill heaters.
The meeting at Des Moines will
again take the matter up and bill
will be presented to the legislature
this winter and a determined effort
will be made to secure its passage.
Just what form of law will be asked
for it has not yet been determined,
but it will either be copied after the
Illinois law or Ohio law Both of
these measures have strong features
in their favor.
The illinois Law.
The Illinois law, which was repealed
by the last legislature of that state,
| held that every man was allowed So
per week for the support of his fam
| lily and this amount was exempt from
garnishment. The advocates of this
| law claim that it worked satisfactorily
and proved hardship to no one; they
/ advocate it's adoption in this state
with the one difference of raising the
amount to be exempted from So to $40
per week.
Has Many Advocates.
The Ohio law provides that 10 per
cent of a mans wages be subject tc
punishment irrespective of the amount
4 of his income and this law seems ttc
have the most advocates among the
retail merchants of the state. Just
what the nature of the bill to be pre-
sented will be is matter of conjec
/ ture but the matter will again BIZ
brought before the legislature in some
shape this winter and strong pres
sure will be brought to bear upon the
members Of both houses to have i
4 passed
A Pure Food Law.
Another matter that will be giver
attention at this meeting will be the
matter Of having a pure food law pass
ed by the coming legislature. This vii
be patterned after either the Illinois o.
Minnesota law, regulating the sale o
foodstuffs. Both of these measures
will be given considerable attentio,
this winter by the retail merchants o
the state.

This afternoon at 2 o'clock occurred

ceiving donations for this work and by
individual solicitation of the business
men and many private families of the
city they secured most liberal supply
of provisions and have been able to
meet the needs of many who were in
distress.
At the Barracks.
The sight which met the eye at the
Army barracks on South Market street
yesterday evening was one that will
not soon be forgotten. All the supplies
which had been collected were brought
to the barracks where the work OF
dividing them and putting them into
/ baskets ready for distribution was
done. Fifty large market baskets
were prepared by the Army members
and each was loaded down with an
abundance and variety of provisions.
Each contained chicken, potatoes,
bread, butter, boiled ham, crockers
canned fruit, coffee, sugar, celery,
fresh fruit and candies. These were
taken out early this morning by mem
! bers of the army and left at the homes
of the needy with the prayer that il
might bring to the ones receiving it al
least a small cause for thanksgiving
to the Giver of all temporal blessings
