Big Manufacturing Institution
Will Begin Operations When
Corn Is Harvested
POSITIVE STATEMENT
MADE
Vice President and General Manager
Butler Says That the Marshaltown
Concern Will Begin Operations With
out Fail as Soon as the Iowa Corn
Crop is in Hand.

President F. C. Let's, os the Western
Grocer Company, who was in the city
Tuesday to attend the annual meeting
of the company, says that he has every
reason to believe that The big factory
of the Glucose Sugar Refining Com
pany, located in this city, will be in
active operation next fall. His informa-
ton came to him direct from Vice
President and General Manager S. T..
Butler, with whom he had personal
interview Il few days ago.
Mr.. Let's called upon Mr.. Butler at
his office for a friendly chat on bust
ness matters, and the question>of what
was to be done with the Marshalltown
concern came up. Mr.. Butler stated
positively that the plant would be put
into running order this summer, and
would open UP for manufacture early
in the fall, or as soon as cora could be
secured. Mr.. Butler made Inquiries of
Mr.. Let's as to his idea of the prospects
for an Iowa corn crop This year. Mr..
Butler stated to Mr.. Let's, net knowing
that he was coming to Marshalltown
soon, that it had never been The idea OF
the company TO dismantle the plant, but
rather to begin operations here Just as
soon as conditions were favorable and
business would justify it. The Chicago
plant has been shut down for some time,
with no prospects of an early opening.
MIR. Butler said that the company had
great deal of money invested in its
property here, and it meant q good deal
to it to have it lie idle. 1t meant more.
however, to manufacture glucose at a
loss, or when the supply was greater
than the demand.

ager II. E. Sloan, of the Let's Fletcher
Company. Mr.. Sloan was endeavoring
to ascertain IL the deep wells of the |
company could be secured by the city. |
When Mr.. Sloan was in Chicago it was
impossible for him to obtain an inter-
view with General Manager Butler, and !
Mir. Griggs was asked to see Mr.. Butler |
Tor him. Mr.. Griggs did SO, and was |
Informed that the wells were not avail |
ibie, for the company expected to put |

Mr.. Let's and Mr.. Sloan are inclined

CURIOUS THINGS
Come From Coffee Drinking.

A lady in New York suffered an ac-
cident to her leg and a running sore
followed that medical science tried to
cure for many years, but unknown to
her. the coffee she drank daily kept the
blood in a condition that would not let
the sore heal. Three years ago" said
this lady, Il was advised to drink Pos
tum and give up coffee of which l was
very fond. To say that i am thankful
now for having done it is putting ii
very mildly for as soon as made the
shift from coffee to Postum my leg be-
gan to heal and in a few weeks was
quite well.
1T has never troubled me since and !
think it marvellous. Neither have 1
suffered from the bilious headaches
which used to afflict me. l can give you
the names of many of my friends who
are as firm friends of Postum as T."
Name given by Postum CO., Battle
Creek. Mich.
This is case where Postum made
red blood in q hurry. This lady thought
1t marvellous because her trouble Of
years standing was cured in a few
weeks, thru giving up coffee and using
Postum in its place. Nothing marvel
Gus about it, only the simplest scientific
reasons that it will pay anyone to look
into.
Good healthy. red blood will cure
most any disease. Coffee in many peo-
pie, destroys the red corpuscles and
produces white or watery blood. A def
mite change is made by leaving off cof;
fee entirely and using Postum. You

ARE TALKING BASEBALL.
Stock Company Being Planned to Back
Paid Ball Team.

All that is needed for this city to
have in the field paid ball nine to
represent Marshalltown is some one
who feels that he is willing to take the
initiative in the organization of the
company. 1t is known that there are
twenty. and even more, men who are
willing to enter into such company,
each taking stock to the extent Of $50.
With a paid up capital of $1,000 1t is the
idea to incorporate, and elect board
of directors, that would have entire
charge of management of the team thru
4 paid manager. The manager would
of course, look after all the details,
working under instructions OF the
board. This method has been sug-
gested, owing to the fact that while
business men are willing TO back the
team to the extent of $50, they do no.
care to give any time from their BUSH
ness in looking after the arrangements,
games, etc. While men willing to in
vest, say it might be losing PROPOSE
ton, the city would have season of
ten or twelve weeks of good base ball.
1t is believed that the time is ripe, if
the some one" will appear in the field
willing to do the first work necessary
to getting the enterprise started.

this afternoon at 2 o'clock in the
Friends church, Rev. Isom p. Wooten,
of this city, officiating. The interment
was in the church burying ground.
Harvey j. Howard WAS 63 years of
age. and had been for two years a suf-
ferer with paralysis. During the last
eight months his condition has been
such that he was almost entirely help
less. He was born in Harrison county,
Ohio, April %, 1910, and came to Iowa
with his parents, settling. near West
Branch, Cedar county, III 1853. Two
years later the family moved to Lis
comb township and pre- -empted a home
stead about two miles west of Bangor.
He was married to Miss Emma Y. Ady
in 1877 and until four years ago lived
in Liscomb township. He then moved
with his family to this city where he
resided for two years, later going to
Ames for the purpose of educating his
children at the Iowa State College. He
was especially well known in and

Presbyterian Church Will In
vite Rev. David Dempster,
of Chicago to Be Pastor
THOUGHT HE WILL ACCEPT
He Was Unanimous Choice of Com.
mttee of the Church Session and
Trustees, Chosen by the Church to
Select Successor to Rev. f. w.
RusseI-Formal Action Thursday.

The formal action which will bring to
this city Rev. David Dempster, of Chi
cago, as pastor of the Presbyterian
church will be taken by the congrega-
held for THAT purpose Thursday even
ing. The committee chosen by the con-
gregation from the church session and
board of trustees has unanimously de-
cided to call Rev. Dempster, and as he
is generally liked by the members there
is every likelihood that their choice
will be ratified. Rev. Dempster has i'm
timated that he would accept if called.
Rev. Dempster is comparatively
young man, 81 years old, and is unmar-
ried. He was not a candidate for the
charge, and was secured to fill the pull
pit one Sunday about a month ago as
supply for Rev. James Mcfarland, who
had been engaged to preach on that
day, but was unable to be here. Rev.
Dempsters sermon made a most favor
able impression on the people of the
congregation, and during his short stay
of few days his personality made him
friends. He is at present taking post
graduate work at the Mccormick Theo-
logical Seminary, of which he is an
alumnus. He formerly held charge in
Ohio.
As the committee which selected him
was chosen by the church congregation
to secure a pastor, it is believed the ac-
ton taken Friday night will be merely
formal. and consist simply of a ratifica-
ton of the committees choice. Rev. A.
e. Kiser, of State Center, will act as
of the meeting.

presence which would have done credit
to veterans in the school of acting. The
character role of Mr.. Rogers, the hem

preted by Mr. Baughn, could scarcely
have been improved upon, and his
quaint and original manner called forth
merited applause.
Miss Elliott had an excellent con-
ception of her part. There was snap
and vim to her acting that was truly
refreshing"
Miss Elliott's first appearance was in
the second act, in which she Wore
