''When about half way up the shaft

cured. There is the question. Where
Is this site to be? Oskaloosa, as the
home of the inventor, wants it and
feels that it has first call on the propo-
sitton. Davenport, Clinton and other
cities in Iowa are. very DESTROYS of Sc
curing it. AS yet nothing has been def
initely done In this regard. The COM
pany has been waiting until the North
western contract was secured. That is
now matter of record. The factory
question Is up for action. What will
the company do? What will Ottun
wa. the home of the company, do?
A limited amount of stock, about
one-fourth, it Is said will be placed on
sale. OF course the city which is able
to control the largest amount of this
stock will have big voice In saying
where the factory will go. But the in
terests Of the company will also be
considered, and the factory will be
places in the city which is the most
advantageous location.
The comfortable margin of profit in
the manufacture Of the machines, the
proven worth and ability to deliver the
goods, and the absolute necessity Of
such an invention. has assured the
future Of the company. The stoker is
here and here to stay. 1t is the first
stoker on the market and it is so far
the only one constructed that has been
able to stand the test of a practical
work, having made trial run after trial
run always with success whereas the
other stokers tested. have not it is said
been able to withstand the wear and
tear of single run.
The Invention and the Inventor.
In this connection the history of the
invention and the inventor will be of
much interest.
w. H. Strouse who is a man 40
years of age has been in the railroad
service in various capacities since first
he began his career. For twenty four
neer on the Iowa Central railroad Dur
ing the last fifteen years he has resid-
ed in Oskaloosa.
In 1898, when the engines of mann
moth size first began to make their
appearance. he began to realize the
need of the engine stoker. 1t was the
man-killing capacity of the monsters
that first appealed to him, while the
saving qualities of the machine were
only developed during the period of ex-
periments.
He began work on the first model in
1901. In 1908 he received his patent,
and began his work Of financing q COM
pany. In 1904 the W. H. Strouse Man
ufacturing company Of Oskaloosa. was
organized. In February, 1906, the Lo-
connective Stoker company Of Chicago,
the sale company, was organized. In
1906. under the laws Of the territory Of
Arizona. the Strouse Manufacturing
company Of Ottumwa, Iowa, the hold
ing company, was incorporated with a
capital stock of s10,0o0,O00. While the

A Debate Precipitated.

Delegates were unanimously of the opinion
that the speeches by Hon. j. Pope Brown on
"Georgia's Needs" followed by Colonel
Peek's speech on "Fertilzers," Chancellor
Barrow's address on Agricultural Educa-
tion" and Colonel Sam Z. Dunlaps speech on
"Immigration" were the speeches Of the ses-
aion.
Colonel Brown spoke without notes, but 1t
wah quickly evident that he had given
thought TO his subject.
He discussed conditions as they relate to
agriculture for some time, giving the MEM
bers q good-natured but effectual rap every
now and then.
He said we were too dependent on the
negro. He had known farmer to spend one
day and a half riding around In search OF
negro to do half days works he had de-
sired from boyhood to become farmer, but
his parents opposed the idea, and induced
him upon returning from college. to accept
position in q cotton warehouse In Albany.
he worked there two yesrs.
Brought into daily contact with the tlllers
OF the soil, he discovered many OF the sources
of the troubles, OF which 80 many OF them
complain. He saw how dependent they
were on the town men-how unnecessarily
dependent He saw that many OF them had
fallen into the habit Of fockfng to town when
they could have been proftaoly engaged at
home at work. He became convinced that II
he should himself turn TO farming and
would work day in and day out, the year
round, as he was then working at the ware
house for bis employers, be could not fall TO
make money. SO he turned to the farm.

Letter to II. M. Haddon.

Dear Sir: Now, may be, you oan't
get the goods; if you can, your fortune
Is made.
Cotton cloth-they call it muslin in
some parts-at about the usual price
per yard, but wider, twice as wide as
some, and better, wears better, keeps
white a surprising time in all sorts OF
wear.
You could sell that cloth for hun
dreds of miles there'd be no limit.
A yard goes further; one buys less
wards. Wears longer; one buys less
often. 1t always looks right till well
Worn-out. No one customer buys so
much of it, but think of the number
of customers!
May be you can't get 1t in cloth :
but you can in paint: Devoe. Devoe
is as if it were wider; a gallon goes
further; you buy less gallons; you
pay for less gallons you pay for paint
ing less gallons-as if one paid less for
making garment of that wide cloth
and it keeps it's fresh look and sheds
water until you have forgotten how
old it is.
1t isn't true in cloth, but it Is in
paint: the less you pay, the better it
is; for the goodness of paint Is reck-
oned by gallons; less gallons. more
goodness. Goodness in paint IL
strength. The stronger a paint, the
less gallons it takes for job and the
longer it wears.

A COLORED MIN ISTER'S VIEW
The Criminal Class OF the Race Not
Church Attendants.
Editor Press and Banner:

Editor Press and Banner:
Sir:-Permit me, please, to say few
words anent your editorial, "Perple17
ing Conditions" in last weeks issue
of your paper. read the editorial in
question with considerable interest
because, judging from your words, you
seem to think that the preachers OF
my race have not done their duty in
the crime Of rape. Altho
would be presumptuous to try to an
swer for all colored ministers, yet l
think in the main they try to do their
duty. Their apparent neglect OF this
duty may be understood when it Is
said that the class of people who COM
nit the "unmentionable crime" do not
belong to the respectable churches
among US, nor to any church at all,
and hence cannot be reached by our
ministers. 1t is that class who play
crap on Sunday, frequent low dives,
and other questionable places. When
they do come to church it is for no
good purpose, as reported church fights
and broils indicate. This criminal
class is the unchurched and subm merged
class whom the Gospel of love and
peace cannot reach. It would be as
useless then for colored ministers in
decent and respectable churches to
preach against rape-altho deploring
it-in order to stop the commission of
it as it would be for them to preach
against lynching.
I hope from the above that 1t will
not be thought that am an apologist
for rape. I am not, but believe that
every man, whether minister or lay
rape in unmeasured terms when and
wherever such denupciation will help
in solving our "Perplexing Condi-
tions."
I remain yours for law and order,
