PREACHERS Talk
REFORM IO MAYOR
Members of Ministerial Union
Hold Conference and Discuss
Closing Town on Sunday
NOTHING Definite RESULTS
NOTHING DEFINITE RESULTS
FREQ Interchange of Ideas Fills Two
Hour Conference Held in the coun-
Gil Chamber-Preachers Have No
Definite Plan, and Mayor Does Not
Promise ompIiance-lngledue Takes
"Shot" at Rev. Doan.

BY Encouragement almost all of the
members of the NIarshalltown Minis
terial Union met in conference with
Mayor o. L. Ingledue in the council
chamber Wednesday afternoon for an
informal discussion for the Sunday
closing of the theater, cigar stores.
Country Club, base ball grounds, and
for the removal of all slot machines.
Mayor Ingledue promised them moth
ing, and the conference ended with
no definite statement of the intentions
from the pastors.
While the preachers were armed
with no formal demand, either indi-
vidually or collectively, they asked
that the mayor close the Odeon on
Sunday, shut up the cigar stores on the
same day, and throw out of use all
slot machines. One minister included
the closing of the Country Club on
Sunday.
While the views of the ministers was
widely divergent with those held by
the mayor, the conference as whole
was carried on in good nature. When
told by Mr.. Ingledue that he had no
authority to close the theater on Sun
day or shut up the cigar stores, the
state code was searched, and section
was found which delegates to the
mayor the authority to revoke the Ii
cense of the play house. 1t was sug-
gested to the mayor that he do that
in case Sunday night theaters could
not be suppressed in any other way.
This, Mr.. Ingledue held, would be I'M
just to the owner, and would be a vir-
tual confiscation Of the theater prop
erty.
Mr.. Ingledue does not feel inclined
to pay heed to the more radical re-
quests which were result of the con-
ference, but is willing to do what is
reasonable, altho no promises of fu-
ture action were made by him.
Incidentally during the conference
Mr. Ingledue paid his respects to Rev.
Doan, of the Friends church, for his
criticism of the mayors policy in a
sermon delivered on Thanksgiving
morning.
One of the pastors, who attended the
conference said this morning that the
ministers were seeking to find what
laws there were which might be APP
piled to the several kinds of Sabbath
breaking, but that the union had no
definite plan of campaign outlined.
The ministers who attended the con-
ference were Revs. j. B. Meloy Merle
N. Smith, Edgar P. Ellyson. L. B. Xix,
T. H. Doan, G. w. McCord Rev.
Elijah Brown Jones was officiating at
a funeral and could not be present.

ICE CUTTING STOPPED
Harvest Of the Crop is Brought to
Sudden Stop by Rapidly Rising
Water and Warm Weather-May Be
No Cut This Year.

Unless freezing weather comes soon
there will be no natural ice on the
market next season. Monday morning,
with the prospects for a good crop.
the Marshall Ice Company began cut
ting for it's wholesale and retail trade,
but Tuesday, at noon, the work was
abandoned owing to the rapidly rising
water and the return of mild weather.
Rains in the northern part of the
state, and the melting snow, is caus-
ing the river to rise, and the ice is
being overflowed and honeycombed by
the current. Mr.. Nelson, of the Mar
shall Ice Company, said Wednesday
that unless there should be another
freeze there would be no natural ice.
When work was abandoned about
three layers of ice had been packed
in the big houses. Mr.. Nelson says
there is no natural ice obtainable, as
conditions are similar all over the

FOOD AND STUDY
COLLEGE Mans Expert,


"All through my high school course
and first year in college," writes an
ambitious young man, II struggled
with my studies on diet OF greasy,
pasty foods, being especially fond OF
cakes and fried things. My system
got into state of general disorder and
it was difficult for me to apply my
self to school work with any degree OF
satisfaction. I tried different medi-
cines and food preparations but did
not seem able to correct the difficulty.
"Then my attention was called to
Grape Nuts food and / sampled it. I
had to do nothing, so l just buckled
down to a rigid observance of the dl-
rections on the package, and In less
than no time began to feel better. In
few weeks my strength was restored,
my weight had increased, had
clearer head and felt better in every
particular. My work was simply sport
to what 1t was formerly.
"My sisters health was badly run
down and she had become so nervous
that she could not attend to her music.
She went on Grape-Nuts and mad the
same remarkable experience L had.
Then my brother, Frank, who is IN the
postoffice department at washington

work on greasy foods, cakes and all
that, joined the Grape army.

MANY VISIT PosToFFIcE.
New Federal Building Thrown Open
to the Public TODAY,


The new federal building was thrown
open to the public at 10 o'clock this
morning, and all day long Postmaster
J. @. Saint, assisted by members Of
the force, has been holding an in
formal reception for the visitors. There
was no great rush of those who wanted
to have a look at the interior of the
building during the day time, but the
stream of visitors has been steady and
constant, and there was not a time
during the daylight hours when there
were not at least a dozen in the build
ing at one time.
The entire interior, including private
offices, main work room, and base
ment, was opened SO that those who
went there wandered thru each de-
partment sight seeing. Practically all
of the furniture, the sack racks, dis
tributing cases, carriers cases, desks
and tables were in place today. All of
the furniture is of handsome design
and finish and is of oak.
The general opinion Of those who
saw the building is that the city's new
postoffice is beautiful, commodious and
conveniently arranged, we'll lighted
and altogether satisfactory.

JUDICIAL POLITICS
Northup and caswelI Are Willing to
Submit Candidates. to Primary
Northup Would Let Lawyers Decide
Stone Deiberates.

Judicial politics have not abated in
two days time. Persistent efforts
have been made to take the matter out
of politics and submit to a secret ball
mining who would best qualify as
judge but this is not entirely salts
factory to the candidates now out. The
lawyers themselves are willing to eau
Gus and some are urging it but they
are not likely to get together.
Both Mr.. Northup and Mr.. Stone
have indicated that they would be can
didates. Mr.. Northup authorizes the
statement that he will submit his can
didacy either to the members Of the
bar or to primary vote.
Judge Caswell believes that the peo-
pie should decide a matter of this
kind and hence does not favor the law
yers deciding but he will submit his
candidacy to a primary vote and will
make such a proposition to other cam
didates
Mr.. Stone was to have given his de-
cision today but is still celebrating as
to what is best for him to do.
1t is the wish of nearly everyone
who takes an active interest in poll
tics that the judicial matter be settled
outside of an unseemly caucus and
convention row. If the republicans OF
Marshall county can have an oppor-
trnity to express themselves on the
selection of judge many claim that
the contest then would be a fair ex-
preston of sentiment. If the lawyers
could act as arbitrator and select one
from their number there would be few
disposed to oppose their selection who
ever it might be.

the fact that they have made Wads-
