Marshalltown, Feb. 9.--An important
meeting of the :Marshalltown En-
pioyers association was attended by
ABOUT forty leading employers of the
city. Both mercantile and manufac-
turing lines We're represented. Presi-
dent Meeker of the association, re-
fused to discuss the meeting, saying
the affair was a private one and not
within the province of the newspaper
to ask question or publish information
concerning the doings of the associa-
ton.
The principal object of the meeting
was to discuss local conditions, and
more particularly the boycott of the
striking printers of the city. 1t was
decided that each of the members of
the association would advertise in the
two papers affected, in order to show
sneir sympathy in their stand taken
against the encroachments or organ
lied labor.

received by the county clerk from Mr..
Cowan, who seems to be highly inter-

of the brides previous divorce.
w. o. Cowan is a matter of conject-
ure. His letters are devoid Of any ex-

such delicate and intricate questions,
demanding such explicit replies. He
wants to be set right on every detail
of the marriage, which is said to have
been the elimination of highly ro-

The Scott county marriage license
register shows that a license was is

E. G. Cleasby on Jan. 1S, 1904, and the
returns that they were united in mar

elopement story was contained in a
dispatch from some little Iowa town to
a Des Moines paper. Other events

What was her name as set out on the
papers?"
Second. did she get her divorce

BRITISH WHEAT INFERIOR.
Both Quality and Quantity of Cereal
Said to Have Badly
Deteriorated.

Much interest has been aroused by
paper read before the British Farm
ers' club, at London, recently by A. D.
Hull, of Rothamsted, who is considered
high authority on cereals. Mr.. Hull
said that the area under wheat cultiva7
ton in these islands in 1876 was more
than 100000 acres, but in 1903 1t had
fallen to 100000. Many of the foreign
wheats now commanded much higher
prices than the best home grain and
millers declared that a larger loaf could
be made from foreign than from Brit
lsh wheat.
Not only was the strength of the
British wheat below that of the for
eign grain, but the home wheat had de-
Perforated substantially during the
20 years. He described the experiments
and investigations which had been
made at Rothamsted by the committee
appointed by the National Association
Of British and Irish Millers, but said
that the committee had not yet found
q wheat which could be unreservedly
recommended to the British farmer.
The only hope was in the cross-fer-
tilization of good British and American
and colonial wheat, and the selection
Of grain containing strength, crop
ping powers and good straw Finally
he urged that every assistance should
be given to the attempts to obtain a
wheat which would be more salable
and more valuable as a food than that
which we now had.

For Congress 4th District,
VIM. o. HOLMAN, of Mason City.
Stock Brokers VS.. Shopman.

An illustration of the evils that fol-
low the exploitation of railroad COM
panies by spectators and stock brck-
ers has been given Iowa people in the
experience Of Valley junction. After
the first week of August had elapsed
the order was received that the ex-
penses for the Valley shops for the
entire month must be within sum
barely one-third of the regular pay
roll. As part OF the month had
elapsed it became necessary for the
shops to close for the last half of the
month. All this was in the name of
economy.
Now this is probably what was Gack
of it al: That the men who hold the
stocks of the roads desired or demand
ed that the usual dividends be declar-
ed on certain stock, much of which
was issued without returns, or that
larger dividends be paid, or a better
showing be made as to profits in order
that stock values might be raised.
When that order reached the machine
shops it was at the limit. There was
nothing to be done but to discharge
workmen. Thus saving was effected.
In the most direct manner possible
this process was that of taking from
the receipts of transportation that
share which belongs to workingmen
and giving it to the manipulators Of
merger stocks.
1t is in this way that the spirit Of
unrest among American workingmen
is cultivated. It is in this way that
socialism is taught to Americans.
When Mr.. Bryan starts on the work
Of organizing his party to advocate
government ownership of the rail-
roads he will be able to make valuable
use OF just such incidents as this
Des Moines News.
