| Roland. Aug. 21.-On a recent visit
to this town few days ago l was
surprised to see so many teams on
the streets at a time of year when
other towns had the Sunday appear
ance, but upon inquiring found that
it was simply an ordinary every day
occurrence, the farmers bringing milk
to the creamery. / found also that
they had one of the largest creameries
in this section of Iowa, and while
talking of the benefits Of a creamery
TO a town l was also Informed OF a
large canning factory which was con-
structed here last season. From Mr..
Mossman, the superintendent, I CLEAN
ed few interesting facts:
The Roland Canning Factory Com
pany was organized with paid up
capital of $4,000, and had working
surplus of over $4,000, the stock being
owned locally. Their first pack con-
sisted of 100000 cans of corn and So
600 cans of pumpkin. OF this amount
not single can remains on hand, as
large wholesale concern in Kansas
City bought the last at fancy price.
They have this year largely in
creased acreage over that of last year,
and even with the large number OF
canning companies in operation, do not
think they will experience any dill
Guilty in disposing of the pack.
| asked Mr.. S. Mossman what erect
will the pure food law have upon the
canning business. well, cannot
speak for other factories, but with us
it will make no difference, as our prod
uct is as pure as air itself. Nothing
goes into our cans except corn, salt and
sugar.
This place seems to delight I'M the
use of cement. They have cement
walks on all business streets and cross
ings, a cement walk to the cemetery,
almost a mile in length. Now they are
putting in wide cement cutters the full
length of the business street. They
have also graded the main street and
have as fine business street as any
town Of it's size in Iowa.
The canning industry, together with
the large creamery, has at least one
result upon a town of this size, and
that is good bank. The building
which has heretofore been ample to
aceomm odate the business has recent
ly been enlarged to accommodate it's
growing patronage. An addition has
been built on the rear, and a large
safety deposit vault built for the bene-
fit, of it's patrons, the front being new
ly arranged so as to furnish a place
for customers to sit down while trans
acting business. More than the aver
age, this town is showing signs of pros
perity in keeping with the times.

Antwerp and shipptng.

Nearly one-half Of the shipping traffic
to and from Antwerp is carried on I'M
der the British and American flags,
and this has made Antwerp almost an
English speaking port. Free night
schools for exclusive classes in Eng
lish, organized by the city authorities,
are attended by thousands of pupils.
while special attention is paid to the
study of English in all the grades of
the day schools, public as well as pri-
yate. This desire to popularize the Eng
lish language is not confined to Bel
GUM, but has extended to Germany as
well, where schools Of instruction have
already been established at Munich
and Nuremberg by the German gov
eminent.

INSURANCE TASK BIG
Commission Which Has Been at
Work Many Weeks Sees No

MANY PROBLEMS TO SOLVE
Commission Should Have Been Made

Good shape-Fraternals Give Most

Concern.

Special to Times-Republnan.
Des Moines, Aug. 21.-If the legisla-
ture had created a commission of fif-
teen instead of commission of five
or had created three commissions OF
five each to investigate the three prin-
cipal branches of the insurance busi-
ness, it would have secured a commits
sion nearer in proportion to the enor-
nifty of the task in hand. A commits
sion of fifteen could have subdivided
the work and set five men to each task.
A commission of five, the number of
the present commission, is not able to
divide the work.
Had either a large commission or
three commissions been provided the
fire insurance laws could have been in
vestigated by five men, the fraternal
insurance by five others and the old
line life insurance laws by another
five. Each three men to each task
would have suf1'iced. There is plenty
of work for a commission of fifteen,
however.
surance commission, it, made clean
sweep and assigned to the commission
for Investigation every line Of insur-
ance there is in existence. Further
more it assigned to it all the ideas in
insurance that have been devised. The
committee hasunlimited authority and
is charged with the investigation of
everything that goes by the name of
insurance. Tho the commits sion has
been at work for many weeks it is still
far from thru with it's work. One
thing operates to the advantage of the
commission and that is the admira BILE
condition of the fire insurance laws.
1t looks now as tho the fire insurance
laws would come in for less in the
commissions report than any of the
other lines. The fraternals present one
of the most difficult tasks tho COM
mission has, for it may not be able to
secure for them what it believes they
ought to have The old line life COM
panies present a number Of perpleXing
problems that have not been worked
out. To all appearances now the COM
mission will be quite steadily employed
to near the limit of the time allowed
for getting in the report. Then if the
report is treated by the legislature as
have been. treated, there will be little
gained from the summers work except
the benefits Of the education from it's
investigation which will be handed
down to the succeeding legislature.

ell into one, is the program in Council

other divisions, as there is not coun-
ty in the state but that has three SUI
pervisors, and they number as high as
seven in some OF the countless Two or
three supervisors are expected from
each county. At the convention which
was held in Des Moines last year 2S6
supervisors were in attendance and it
is expected that as large number
will come to this city.
The coming convention is expected
to bring more people to Council Bluffs
than any other meeting that has been
held here for some time. Besides the
600 delegates that are expected, many
Of them will bring their wives, and
there will also be large number of
representatives for boats, dredges and
other apparatus in which county OF
ficials are usually interested. Men,
bers of the Commercial club have
planned several entertaining features
for the convention, among them being
a trip to Lake Manawa, where boat
ing, bathing and fishing will be enjoy
ed. 1t was at first planned to take
the visiting delegates to the Iowa
School for the Deaf, but this trip has
been abandoned unless the delegates
eyince a desire to visit the institution.
