the order, which includes some of OF
tumwa's well known men.
The prospects of live and up-to-
date camp of the order in this city
are exceptionally bright, and it is an
ticipated that in the course of two
months, Ottumwa can boast of one
Of the best camps in the state.
The order of the Sons of Veterans
in the state of Iowa is growing rapidly
which fact 10 recognized by the ma
tional encampment, which was held at
Syracuse, N. ", last September, when
the Sons of Veterans unanimously vot-
ed to locate their new military college
at Mason City.
After the organization of the local
camp it will be given great prestige
in the Iowa division, on account of
about eight of its members, having
the rank of past captain, by reason of
their past service, and who are also
members of the state encampment
which brings them in touch with the
national organization. Among the To-
cal past captains are DR.. A. S. Spill

E. M. Campbell, George Salmon and
others.

GOES INTO RURAL FIELD.
Telephone Service is to Be Greatly Ex-
( tanded

e 4
Des Moines, March 6.-The Central
Union Telephone compay, successor to
the Iowa Telephone company and own
er of all the Bell systems in Iowa eX-
4 cept one system of toll lines in the
northern part of the state, is going in
to the rural telephone business in Iowa
county seat exchanges with connecting
toll lines.
1t has refrained from entering the
rural field in competition with the in
dependent lines because of the expense
of construction. but since the discovery
OF the party line service, by which as
high as sixteen phones can be served
over a single circuit, it has concluded
to go into the business. 1t proposes
to extend two or three lines out in
every direction from it's several eX-
changes over the state to a distance
of from five to fifteen miles into. the
country and to solicit business from
farmers on the residence rate basis.
on an extensive scale. Heretofore the
Iowa has devoted it's energies very
largely to the building up of city and
1t is figured that with a single line of
pole construction, which will not COM
mence to equal in extent the number
OF poles usually employed in the con-
struetlon of the small fifty and 100.
instrument country exchanges, it will
be able to serve as many subscribers
as IN the smaller exchanges by multi,
plying the number of wires carried
and putting sixteen party service in
struments on each line.
It is the intention to commence the
active work of canvassing for this
class OF subscribers in a short time,
and to make the start in the smaller
country market towns where farm
service can be operated conveniently
and with but very little increase of
exnense, thru the exchanges already
established.
The idea is that the minimum ex-.
pense of operation can be attained by
this method because of the small first
cost of construction and the small
comparative item of maintenance, and.
that eventually the. company will be
able to place its service within the
reach of all farmers in the state and
give them not only the benefit of in
tercourse with one another, but all
the advantages of the market town
exchange, enabling them to ascertain
the condition of the stock and pro-
duce markets before starting for
town, ordering goods, securing wealth
err service reports, ETC., and keeping
in touch with the world as thoroly as
tho living in the cities and market
towns.

MOVEMENT CUT OFF
Receipts of Hogs in This City Show
Large Decrease.
THE PRICES ARE WELL MAINTAINED
General Western Packing Holds Up
The Quality Is Good-Provsion
Market Slow and But Little Change
Noted--East End News.

From Saturdays Daily.
The offering of hogs in this was
considerably lessened the past week
when compared with the week preyi-
Gus, and this in the face of stronger
market John Morrell & Co., packed
5000 porkers last week against 1900
the week before.
The western packing Of hogs is
considerably more active than year
ago, the number killed during the
past week amounting to 100000, COM
pared with $4,000 the preceding
week, 100000 during the correspond
ing week last year, $4,000 two years
ago and 365,000 three years ago. The
quality is mostly good, but not quite
equal to the fine quality OF the Offer
ings several weeks ago. Notwith-
standing the liberal offerings of hogs,
prices ruled firm, averaging at the
close about cents higher than a
week ago and 60 cents higher than a
year ago at western packing centers
The provision markets show but lit
tie change the past week. May pork
at Chicago closes 71sc per barrel high
er. May lard 7hc per 100 pounds low
er, and May short rib sides the same
as a week ago. The export clear
ances of product were large, showing
a gain for the week and a large in
| crease as compared with a year ago.
There is very little speculative inter-
est. Supplies of meats at the large
centers are gradually accommodating.
The exhibits of cut meats indicate
an increase of .33,O00,000 pounds com
pared with month ago, while the
stocks increased 1S,000,000 pounds
last year for the corresponding period.
The total is now 26,000,000 pounds
more than year ago, and 95,O00,00O

ion, many trials and tribulations We're
met, and there are yet several, but
a great number have been overcome,
and the demand for label goods grows
fast The public has become familiar
with the label, and now nearly every
one knows where to look for 1t. Our
label is put on every garment made,
and each label is numbered SO that
we can easily recognize bogus label
as. soon as we see it. This is probab-
ly one of the reasons why we have
very little trouble with counterfeit Ia
bells.
Union factories are operated under
the ten-hour system. The best of san
itary conditions are maintained. If
/ find an unsanitary factory immed-
lately stop the labor, which closes the
factory until it has been made sani-
tary. In overall factories the employ
es work 9 hours per day, and / may
say in this class of shops the wages
of the girls have been increased 30
per cent over the wages paid in nom
union shops. Both men and women
are admitted to membership in the
United Garment Workers
'"This Organization is affiliated with
the American Federation of Labor,
which has done much for the garment
workers in establishing a demand for
label goods. A national scale Is OBJ
served One of the good things the
organization has accomplished is the
knocking out of penitentiary-made
garments. Some of the large con-
tractors in New York had their goods
made by penitentiary laborers, but the
United Garment Workers bent their
efforts toward getting rid of this evil,
and our efforts have been crowned
with entire success.
Deliberate Before Granting Label.
eve deliberate for some time be-
fore granting a firm the right to use
the label on it's goods. After the firm
signs the application we wait three
months before giving them the label,
and do it only then after we are con-
WINGED that they will not abuse the
right. To this custom we owe large
share of our success as an organiza.
ton.
Business Prospects Good.
Business prospects in New York
are very good for the year. Last
year was not exactly banner period
but indications are for good i'm.
provement during the coming twelve
