carried to the Marshalltown goal for a
touchdown. Shortly afterwards the local
team got the ball on downs and kept 1t
practically thruout the game, twice
working the pigskin to within ten yards
of the State Center goal, where. each
time, 1t was lost on fumbles. AT the
close of the first half Marshalltown had
not scored, altho the entire half, except

In the second half State Center kicked
off to Marshalltown and the ball was
worked gradually to the fifteen-yard
line. where Hull carried 1t over in CEN

/ The visit of Most Reverend John Jo-
Giocese, to the parish of ST. Mary, of this
city, was the signal for day Of great
| Importance in the local church. The
coming of the archbishop was delayed
somewhat and instead of arriving Sat
urday afternoon from Nevada he did not
get here until evening, having stopped
at Colo for the afternoon.
All of the services Sunday at st. Ma
rvs We're largely attended, the parish
toner's making special effort to be
present. The archbishop carried out the
program as outlined in these columns on
Saturday, saying low mass at s O'Clock
Sunday morning, and giving holy COM
inunion to all of the candidates forcon-
frmation, the administration of which
formed the especial purpose of his visit
to st. Mary's.
AT 10 O'clock Archbishop Keane deliv-
cred a sermon on the Maternity of the
Blessed Virgin Mary" The sermon was
& masterpiece, full of thought and Bib
lical wisdom as characterized in the
pretty story of the birth Of Christ, the
Savior OF mankind.
AT 4 o'clock another sermon was
preached by his grace. the archbishop,
this time taking as his theme intemper-
,ance. which, upon his coronation, was
announced to be the hobby OF the new
archbishop. Archbishop Keane dwelt
especially upon the evils OF intemper-

PosToFFIcE TROUBLES.
Mail Delivery Greatly Retarded by
Lack Of Help-Business Increased 35

Mail Delivery Greatly Retarded by
| Lack Of righteousness Increased 35
| Per Cent.
Business men who complain about
their mail service should remember
that the local postofiice is greatly over
worked and finds it simply impossible
on many days to deliver all the mail.
Ever since his appointment Postmaster
Saint has been endeavoring to secure
from the department additional help,
but owing to its red tape regulations
based on Marshalltown's light census
enumeration has been repeatedly re-
fused. In the meantime the volume of
mail matter handled at the Office has
increased thirty-five per cent in the
three years Mr. Saint has been in Office
and the natural growth of the town. as
every one knows, has spread the popu-
lation over dozens of blocks of new
territory on the outskirts of the city.
Many day carriers leave the Office
with loads of mail so large that they
can scarcely move them. The post
master asks for little leniency and
the support of the business men in his
efforts to serve them with short help
and to move the department officials to
a realization of the needs of the Office.
The train service in and out of Mar
shalltown is now admirably arranged
for the convenience of the business
men. A letter dropped in the office
for Chicago any time before II p. m.
will arrive at a. M, and II sent special
delivery can be received and an answer
mailed in Chicago at 10 a. M, reaching
the Marshalltown office ready for dis
tribution at 5:35 p. m. Mail for the
west is made up in the local Office at
s: so a. M, reaches Omaha at 2: 40 p. m.
and a reply can leave Omaha at p. M.
arriving at Marshalltown for distribu-
ton at 1880 a. m. There are now four
mails per day for Des Moines and re-
turn, including one special pouch which
is sent right thru to the capital city.

WASH THE BLANKETS.

Washing cumbersOme blankets and
bedspreads has been one of the un-
pleasant things of housework.
II you use Peosta Soap there is
nothing difficult about it.
Wooden blankets should not be
soaked, but should be washed In tepid
water with good suds of Peosta,
Rub firmly between the hands and the
cleansing will be thorough; the blank
cts will be soft and fresh and keep their
warmth regaining qualities for years.
Bed spreads should be soaked in
Peosta an hour and a few rubs on the
washboard will do them perfectly.
Peosta is soap that simplifies the
washday difficulties. Five bar boxes,
25 cents at the nearest grocery.
